Conservatives seem to have formulated their response.

209 Ds + 1 R voting yes to 211 Rs voting no = both parties are corrupt.

Everyone is on the list, even though Democrats voted yea. In conspiracy world, politicians are a hivemind that act in perfect lockstep. When you see 210 - 211 it means it’s a circus and they don’t care about us and they conspire to swap votes to trick the marks.

Something 90% of Americans shit out on a daily basis.

It’s Rupert Murdoch (and his bastard spawn Lachlan), owner of Fox News, The Sun, Sky News Australia, and more. The master of misinformation, sensationalism, and ragebait. He’s been doing this everywhere for such a long time now.

I don’t get why so many sites hijack the back button. It’s fucked up. Apnews, seriously? The website is hostile, their Youtube floods you with celebrity content. Come on.

I would try cannibalism and eat this man. I think human skin is close enough to pig skin to for us to harvest MAGA bacon.

Using master is stupid. Is your branch in charge of others? Is it more skilled than your other branches? Software engineering has too many crusty dorks that stick to their paradigms like it’s their religion. Acting like it’s their heritage to use outdated terms but also it doesn’t matter so that’s why they’ll keep using it.

It’s funny that we’re like “America is acting like Nazi Germany” when back then the Nazis were taking notes from Americans. We committed genocide and eugenics and slavery and after a good night’s rest we wake up and start talking shit about Nazis. Like they’re the biggest fuck ups.

Saying that the Holocaust was faked and that Jews control the world isn’t antisemitic.

Saying genocide is wrong is antisemitic.

“We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there — We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now” - Donald Trump

I think the message is: killing me will be one of the last things you do in life.

It’s like when people say they had Hunter Biden’s laptop.

I don’t care what they say. Where’s the proof? It’s a billionaire pedo secret club involving too many powerful people. Did he just send the evidence in to be buried and then burned the receipts?

“Ah jeez I had evidence on this thing but I guess it was lost in the mail, jeez, ah jeez man, I don’t blame people for JAQing off, jeez”

You can mimic the feel of Twitter by taking reddit threads and cutting them at the most popular reply (Reddit already does this), and then reversing the order. Now the “best” content is front and center and the conversation / context is in the background. Users don’t have to go through the tediousness of a discussion before experiencing the sheer joy of a witty response. The emotions come faster and more consistently.

Nobody ever asks “are suicides not common?” Nobody ever asks “are US prisons run correctly?”

We average like 50 suicides a year in federal prisons. Despite being under watch, suicides are greater in prison populations than in the general population.

US prisons are not run correctly. People are not taken care of, or kept from hurting themselves and others, and there’s negligence and abuse and more.

Why is Epstein killing himself in federal prison weird? That’s literally a trait of conspiracy nuts: they never allow small things to be responsible for big outcomes.

Musk framed himself as a champion of good fighting the forces of evil, but then he retreated when Tesla stocks went down. Democrats are destroying the country, society is being perverted, etc. But that’s nothing compared to his wallet. (His words.)

Musk says he’s aware of a massive pedophilia conspiracy involving presidents, billionaires, and royalty. Then he backs out when Trump threatens SpaceX contracts.

He wants to bring mankind to the stars and create a free society on Mars. But then someone will threaten his bottom line and that will be the end.

The warnings went out hours ahead of time and the officials in charge failed to react.

But hey! These critics say otherwise! And when I say “critics say otherwise” I actually mean that critics criticized funding cuts. And when I put that quote next to a quote from a politician, it can trick people into thinking they’re saying what I said they’re saying!

This article is shit. Who gets high of this? It doesn’t do anything for me.

This has been the case though? Churches are political in the distant past, the near past, and the present. They speak about politics and tell their congregation what to do. It’s hard to get a church in trouble for blatantly breaking the law. Now it’s official.

I’d rather have another team try to execute Subnautica. Unforgivable to make a survival game where enemies go through walls, you can fall through your ship, and your save becomes corrupted if you build too much.

It’s a AA game that was rough around the edges. Not much there to make you think “without the original devs the game will be totally wrong.”

Consider analogous countries.

A country with a big Christian cross as it’s flag. Christian symbology in their emblems, money, seals, etc. The national anthem is about Christians reclaiming their holy land. “A country where Christians can feel safe.”

“Hello welcome to Bobland, a country founded by Steves. Steve is on our flag and money and stamps and official seals… and our songs are about Steve. The major religion is Steve. Our politics are mostly about Steve.”

“Why are Steves committing genocide?”

“How dare you conflate our actions with Steve! This is Bobland! If you don’t accept technicalities you’re basically Hitler.”

What kind of engineers work at Tesla? I feel like normal people get anxiety over deleting databases or deploying secrets to production. Accidentally taking a service down.

But there you have all kinds of terrible things happening and it’s purely because your company knows how to work policy makers. A dad dies in a fireball and what, it’s an emergency meeting? Something you look into first thing Monday morning?

Nonviolent direct action has earned them the label “terrorists.”

So is this a way to take away rights by making it about kids?

I mean what the fuck. We did much less and got punished right? It didn’t matter if we were on the property. Schools can hold students accountable for conduct with other students.

The leaded-gas adults of the time had no problem dealing with the emergence of cell phones. It was a distraction. They didn’t need lawmakers to call it something specific. My Pokemon cards caused fights and were banned. No lawmakers needed.

The problem is surely with the interaction between parents and schools. Or maybe it’s just the old way of thinking. Maybe it’s better to have police and courts start taking over discipline in schools.

Only one of those things was said here on this site, in this thread, by a lemming that we can directly criticize.

Shouldn’t the space we occupy and the people we are immediately surrounded with be put above performative anger at external topics?

The politician said terrible things. Posting about it only goes so far.

A lemming said bad things. We can affect that.
