And then when rise of the pew-pew out performs, executives will get the message to stop funding andor and make 50 more circle jerks

I wish you were right about that second point, but give it a week and some pundit will say something and every conservative person you know will parrot it to blame a previous administration. It always happens, they never introspect.

Did you not watch it all the way though or are you just that bad at picking up obvious satire....? It's okay to admit you were wrong...

They do sell cables like that, where the usb connection is held to the cable by a magnet, and breaks away to stay in your device.

By whom? A dude tried to overthrow the government and folks bent over backwards to not charge him, what makes you think things will be any different in four years?

Hey one of the beauties of bluesky is you can just block a troll instead of feeding them... The more you engage, the more the double down.
Just block and move on, it's better for your mental health.

I remember being at a gathering where someone bought them as a joke, and then ended up going out to buy four more boxes because holy shit they were good

You needed to use AI to make this, really? You couldn't have bothered with a sharpie and paper? Jesus fucking christ...

Super psyched, loved Dead Eleven and just put this on pre-order!

I mean, has it really mattered since the equifax data breach? This is just another step on the path to hell that is this world's lack of data privacy protections...

Shame they don't also have spines or the ability to stand up to the oligarchs that they beg for money

What's to celebrate? A billionaire is getting the equivalent of someone saying it'll go on his permanent record and nothing else. Huzzah for the just-us system?

Let's be honest, no one was dancing because he won. They danced because Trump lost.

You forgot the step where non-right-wing media reports on it, not calling it an outright lie, or calling it a lie 9 paragraphs in, thus giving Trump and right-wing media more stuff to point to for credibility, since they know no one reads past the headline for the most part.

It's just a daily reminder that the richest people in the world are also the least creative or interesting...

The nightmare of reality is the majority of them are insulated enough that it won't hurt them that much but those that opposed him will be hurt far worse.

There is logic, you're just not engaging with it. Generative AI is incredibly energy intensive, so using it to make lazy memes and then pretending to care about the environment is dumb.

The billionaires who aren't nazis also don't give a shit about you... If they did they wouldn't be billionaires.

The problem is that Trump and his team are more prepared and experienced now... And their opposition is a mix of nonexistant and exhausted

Cool... Write off 77 million folks and wonder why things are the way they are..... Or maybe treat them with respect and meet them on progressive things that help them materially.
No wait, you're right, shit on them, that'll win them over, my bad

Genuine question, when you post shit like this do you never wonder how it feels to be on the other side? Like to see the other side say you're a poor idiot? Attack the politicians, not the voter, you ass.

No one should go hungry BUT a rich guy like you can't give away your money to fix it... No one should be homeless BUT a rich guy like you can't just give people the funds to fix that...
Still no BUT?

So what should we regarding those malevolent actors? Ignoring them doesn't work, especially if they have power. These aren't school yard bullies, these are people who can and want to ruin lives.

Decided to listen to this while getting a filling... Big mistake, shouldn't be laughing when someone's got a drill in your mouth

Hey that's awesome! It's so easy to just sit in uncomfortable silence instead. Super proud of you that you stood up for your ideals!

I don't think he is stupid at all. The man saw a system and exploited it. Not agreeing with that, but it isn't stupid. Stupid is an excuse.

Oh it's different, if someone doesn't act like there's never a justifiable murder they can't enjoy the smell of their own farts... But if they ignore all the deaths due to administrative choices.... Well that's just capitalism baby

I'll counter this by asking has she, solely she, earned those billions, or did she do it by utilizing a system propped up by millions of others? And if she did, shouldn't she be taxed to better support those millions? And if she was taxed higher, she wouldn't be a billionaire.

Only the party, as it currently stands, cannot do that. Maybe if it's all new blood, but too much of the dem party still believes norms and mores will save the day.

You really wrote RethuglicKKKcons? Like what kindergarten level shit is that... Just call someone a dipshit or corrupt, but that..?

The Little River - Ferdinand Jean Monchablon. I don't know why but when I first saw it, I spent fifteen minutes just staring at it. Something about this painting, it's just one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

Genuine question, why not state that instead of calling them independent? It always feels framed as if they are unaffiliated with a party, but if you mean them to be what you just said, isn't it misleading to use the term independent?

Why would you ever assume that if you gave someone a tremendous amount of power they wouldn't exercise it?

I wish that were true but even in these replies there are folks saying they'd throw them under the bus if it meant Harris won.

Probably a dumb question, but if someone were to just download and then delete a podcast, it counts the same for your metrics, right? Because holy shit do I not have the emotional bandwidth right now but I'm also too lazy to turn off the auto download stuff

I think the truth is closer to what they've seen. They can be absolutely bad faith actors and trust the left to never act similarly and claim they're moral, as if that fucking matters

And will, like he's been for four years, be spineless when it comes to dealing with anyone on the right...

What confuses me is how those on the right don't see how it could absolutely be used against them should they lose power...

Cry, be upset, feel depressed or whatever emotion you need. But remember this isn't the end, and things will keep getting better, albeit sometimes slowly.
I'm glad you're here and nothing other people do will lessen your worth or humanity.
