Anyone else not being allowed to sign this?
What are you talking about? The Democrats actual platform around gun safety is very bland and common sense reforms with wide bipartisan support.
Your question is actually, “When will the Democrats stop doing the things that they aren’t actually doing that Republicans told me they were doing as a boogeyman!!!”
Hey Walgreens, my wife and I are confused… how do we do that romantic move where we weave our hands together to sip champagne with these?
The nazis weren’t as competent and intelligent as you suggest, that work was outsourced to IBM - Yes, that IBM.
You know that Watson product that IBM sells and advertises so often? R one that plays chess and was on jeopardy (Fun!) Turns out that Watson was the name of the dude that signed off on them accelerating the Holocaust for the nazis. Some believe the nazis couldn’t have been nearly as efficient at unrepentant large scale murder without IBM joining the fray, yet they skate on by…
Contributing is noble, appreciate your effort as we have to build. But you scroll past articles constantly in your daily life, you have a line below which you don’t post, you should raise your line. No value in this post. At best it’s boring and isn’t additive - and I do contribute actively.
Cool, so don’t post a bullshit non-news article then? There is nothing of substance here? Nobody needed this “news”, what are you doing, dude?
This is a misleading headline. Fuck your technicality. Free trial… TRIAL.
Excuse me, waitress… I’ll have what SHE’S having.
No it’s not, you asshole. If anyone attacks anyone, it’s you. We’re all tired of being accused of this shit by people like you.
Partial mummification. It’s just the top half. No pants on the bottom half.
That’s not the implication. It’s you forgiving yourself the burden of reality. You chilled the fuck out at MTV spring break, bud. You smelled the smoke, but you didn’t care, you got yours.
And now you have the audacity to call the millenials, who watched 9/11 on rolly CRT TVs in their classrooms as babies and then entered the workplace during the great recession and sub prime mortgage finance scams. Then, when they might finally be building some type of momentum back, you get trump into COVID into vaccine denial, RTO mandates, endless rounds of mass tech layoffs, false inflation/corporate price gouging into 2nd trump/end of American democracy and the chaos to come.
But go on being a selfish, disaffected tool (that also seems to equate the scale of boomers and millenials here?), it really affirms who you are
For those who don’t know, SLC Punk is a movie worth your time, especially at a certain time in life. The spirit is great, but… Stevo is an Xer who ultimately did go to Harvard and dad and mom are boomers (The boomers turned from hippies to yuppies in the 80s).
In other words, you coasted off of the luxuries afforded you by the previous generation and enjoyed selfish, fully funded indulgences themed as rebellion (while understanding that that wealth funding you was always ill gotten and at the expense of exploited and abused minority groups) and then, because you took a generation off, left a fully unmanaged mess festering to inevitably implode the generation after you?
And then today, even with the wisdom of time, you live with the hubris to call that generation, that you passively destroyed, “a mess”. Respectfully, I’m not sure you realize it, you piece of shit, but you’re actually a piece of shit.
You realize that that comic is a pretty strong indictment of gen X though, yes?
It’s not noble or otherwise admirable to sit down and eat that popcorn.
Gen X said “fuck it” quickly and lived relatively comfy, selfish lives from their boomer parents funding trips to Woodstock '99 - where they feigned a rebellion, but always with a credit card they didn’t pay for in their pockets and the rent paid.
They pretended to be above or “so over” politics, but in reality that was just a way to forgive themselves the burden of maintaining a decent society. So they willingly let the fire burn and grow out of control so that the millenials would have to deal with it.
After being hit with one life altering tragedy after the next during their prime earning years, many millenials realized they would need to be the sacrificial bridge generation. They resigned to delay or deny a lot of personal happiness/excitement so that they could do everything they could to oppose the second bush (who isn’t actually a nice, harmless man with candy) and get Obama elected.
As the millenials can’t afford homes or children of their own (part of that mentioned sacrifice), the X parents then have the kids that are gen Z later in life. Those Z kids weren’t given any civic direction, personal values or responsibility to community from their perpetually checked out and selfish X parents. So without any tools to build meaningful resistance or any need to serve other humans, they then dropped the ball this election (the ball that the millenials were sacrificing their own fulfilling lives to be able to hand off to them).
Z was handed the blueprint on a silver platter, so they could literally fix shit by just showing up and acknowledging that nazis are both real and bad. There was actually a point where republicans wouldn’t have won another presidency around 2009 (and they were freaking the fuck out with changing demographic trends forecasted) - never again without a “trump” chaos desperation play emerging to lower the bar, shift the Overton window and generally suck the value out of words, concepts and law.
The Republicans are ultimately ever-hungry scoundrels and religious zealots though, they want it more, but really that’s because some will literally go to prison if they aren’t governing. Also, a successful left will never have that same ruthless hunger, but that’s really just because the definition of the left’s vision of success is that you should actually be able to slow down, enjoy living and let your guard down a bit, or else what’s the fucking point? The Republicans are perpetual losers, but even when they “win” they don’t. They aren’t happy and all that means they are never slowed by legality or morality. So they got to work in earnest starting in 2010 (go watch a film called “slaying the dragon”) and here we are.
Edit: Ha! Scrolled down and saw someone posted a comic that says about exactly what I was expressing, except the Z kid would need to be falling on his face.
Which is a weird fucking thing for a cop to immediately say when police also said explosion included “an electric vehicle” that they wouldn’t specifically identify right away.
Ummm, didn’t musk actually just hold a snake oil press party were he had people remotely drive his vehicles and told the sycophants it was perfect safe robot magic driving the cars?
Kind of fucks your rebuttal there… What else you got?
Yes offense, op. Fuck fox news, without exception?
