It’s been so great the last 10 years saying “this is what will be happening because the neo-nazis are taking over” and everyone telling me I’m overreacting, I’m being hyperbolic, I’m exaggerating or my favorite “you’re just being dramatic”

Remember, THERE’S NO WAY they’d overturn Roe v Wade.

And then you bolt awake, with adrenaline now surging, only to be staring at your wall and it’s 4am so you definitely won’t be feeling rested when your alarm goes off.

Local city is doing fireworks at 10pm.

I’m too old for this shit, just don’t wake me up.

Clearly you’ve never met someone like my wife.

“Reason: advocating violence”

I see no advocation for violence, just the truth about people who need to be removed from power.

And I absolutely LOVE the implied “you can complain about all violence toward you but don’t you DARE even suggest doing the same thing that’s being done to you”

Yes masters, we should all die quietly.

This is posted on (dot) world, which is basically reddit but slightly left of center.

In other words, mods will remove anything that maybe might be construed in a way that messes with the status quo of the rich and polititicians stomping their boot down on those they deem below them.

Whether mods agree with my phrasing or not, that’s what’s happening. I’m sure they’d prefer to frame it as “making sure our community doesn’t get taken down by The Man”

somewhere, a criminal: Oh man, you mean all I have to do is take my license plate off, dress like a tacticool office worker, put on a mask and I’m just allowed to kidnap people??? SCORE!!!

Unless you have knowledge and possibly evidence that politicians, world leaders, movie stars, and pretty much every ceo is into children and human trafficking as long as it’s on a private island.

Then you might just experience the craziest set of coincidences!

OK, boomer

Moth needs to stop runningaway when I try to let it outside, I just want to help but I can’t help if I can’t catch it.

the “optimal” economic path during climate change

The optimal solution is to spend as much as you can into preventing climate change, because a dead planet has no economy. No customers = no income, no profit, no business.

But that requires looking past the next quarter.

Also I’m convinced economics “professionals” have all figured out that the whole system is bullshit that gets made up on a day to day basis by people who inherited their wealth, and just want to gift along with it. “I know it’s bullshit but they’re giving me money, so…”

The only things that assume infinite growth are viruses and parasites.

Quark, you’ve been warned a hundred times about discussing human hunting techniques with menagerie owners.

Don’t make me get Odo.

… “FeEmAlEs”… you ferengi sure know how to raise 'em…

crazy journalistic cowardice

That’s all we’ve been seeing since the first time Ajent Ornj was in office.

And now that they know he has no problem arresting journalists who he doesn’t like, it’s even worse.

All the people in charge who could do something about it are showing they are excellent at two things: placating the masses, and kissing a dictators ass.

Too many normal people are just barely making it by and don’t want to lose what little they have by taking a stand, especially when they might be standing alone.

From a certain point of view.

Can we just tow them both beyond the environment?

140 (87mph).

I’m sure there are cars where I wouldn’t feel a thing and all that, but mine would shake itself apart.

120/75 is my limit, and honestly my truck shouldn’t be going over 90/55 because it loses the tiny bit of efficiency it has.

New noises don’t bother me. The amount of things that can shake rattle and roll (it’s a mess but it’s all tools and things I need for work) means a new sound pops up every week.

It’s the new slightly different vibration that sketches me out.

Ever so slightly up/down vibration that you can barely feel when you get to 70? Congrats, next week when you drive to work you’ll hit a bump at 15 and the whole front bottom falls off. And now you have 3 other problems because drive shafts start flying all over and smashing into things when they break.

No, I love vehicle ownership and definitely wouldn’t prefer to relax on high speed rail for 20 minutes with a rolling bag/tool box or literally any other form of mass transit…

I’d happily climb any of the 1000ft “peaks” around me over telling everyone how much money I spent to be here while slowly moving in line up to the top of what is now basically a trash dump.

that feed us false hope

Boy do we have different bubbles…

Considering the channel owner is heavily left leaning, I don’t think it was them but they may be getting extra cautious about what speech they allow, given the current regime.
