Veto away, Krasnov. By all means, please make Republicans looks like incompetent fools for the next 2 years so we can sweep in 2028 too. After that, maybe finally we can get some shit done and prosecute the fascists (if the corporate masters are willing to indulge us, of course).
The founders never would have imagined something like Unitary Executive Theory would ever take off, as they assumed that each branch would be too selfish to willingly diminish their own power by handing it over to another branch.
Wasn’t this the same woman who was called out for concern trolling the other day on Some More News Podcast?
Yeah, she seemed slippery as fuck. This behavior isn’t surprising.
Quick, somebody warn Nate!
Honestly, the people hacking the illegal gambling website and the fake money website are modern day Robin Hood figures in my eyes.
Better them than hackers stealing from AARP or GoFundMe or something.
That’s kind of why I like Lemmy better. Rarely do I see reposted content. At one point I had a spreadsheet where I would log how many times I saw the exact same post on TIL or YSK.
Smaller communities are better.
I guess I kind of understand why companies want you to be logged in to engage with their platform, as the user metrics are the main selling point to advertisers, but man do I really fucking hate it when a platform forces me to log in by preventing me from using their website. So much so, that I haven’t made an account on Instagram or X or Facebook or whatever dumb social media platform specifically because I can’t browse without signing up. Well, that, and also the greed, the lack of privacy, the tacit endorsement of fascism, et. cetera.
No, I don’t want to make an account.
No, I don’t want to download your app.
No, I don’t want to turn on notifications.
Gah, fuck off with all this horseshit. The internet used to be fun. Now everything is a chore and nobody does anything unless they feel like they can make a profit off of it.
“Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.”
One religious exemption, please!
I couldn’t get through HPMoR. Did that story really inspire Peter Thiel? I didn’t sense anything fascist-coded in it, but again, it was a cringe-worthy read and I stopped right around the end of the first chapter because Harry’s barely-veiled smarmy attitude was too noxious for me to tolerate.
Good. Maybe a little unmasking will put some fear into these caustic little shitheads.
They only behave the way that they do because their superiors have emboldened their basest instincts and shielded them from retaliation .
If these guys ever thought thay consequences might catch up with them, they’ll be out the door in no time flat.
Phone design peaked with the Blackberry Pearl and we’ve been straying further from God’s light each day since.
All muskets are rifles, but not all rifles are muskets.
Dude could have used that money to fund animal shelters across the world and received a standing ovation.
It takes a special kind of fucking loser to come up with this idea and follow through on it.
Nobody said it had to be a smoothbore musket.
The polyglot’s sensible chuckle of the day.
Yeah, I wouldn’t put it past him to cheat since he was caught cheating before, but I do believe the reason the Trump admin asked to keep any vulnerabilities under wraps is not so they could exploit them, but so they could delay the announcement of finding them after the results came in and invalidate the results if they ended up losing.
Bioware was already rotting in the mass grave where formerly successful studios they bought spend their last days being milked of any remaining collective goodwill in the gaming zeitgeist before being summarily executed.
This was just them posting the obituary we all knew was coming.
Stop trying to follow the logic here, because that never occurred to her when drafting this post. This is all political kabuki. She can see clear as day that Trump’s cohort are burning through what little political power they have remaining and will soon be ousted, and she’s positioning herself as the sane conservative candidate by distancing herself from their most extreme decisions/policies. When the dust clears she’ll have a head start campaigning for whatever office she wants.
Make no mistake, she’s a true believer in all the shit that got us to this fucked up situation we find ourselves in. The first part of her post is just the “normal” kind of extremism that seems blase compared to the firehose of daily scandals coming from the WH.
Judging by how he behaved in 2018 the last time he lost control of congress, he’ll happily spend the rest of his term golfing.
He doesn’t actually give a shit about being president, he just desperately wants to be on TV all the time.
