I hadn’t really ever directly connected the two, but yeah the Democratic party has always had problems organizing. Hopefully, if we are forced into a similar situation, we get it right this fucking time.

No parties like this bullshit two party Winner Takes all bullshit, if we’re going to pretend like democracy is a viable option. If anything can be said of the differences between back then and now, I would guess that overall the Democratic party at least appears to be more humble in the past than it is now despite being humiliated by a clown is such as Trump. The party’s and this country’s eventual downfall I think could be boiled down to everyone that isn’t in the Oligarchy’s Breast Pocket, being unwilling to compromise or even speak their neighbors, who might disagree with them.

Either the left bites the fucking bullet and humble itself enough to figure out some way of getting through to at least a chunk of the Republican voter base, or get really comfortable with becoming fascist itself and propagating its own brand of violence, to the point of killing.

Best not to use to academic language when dealing with those that Academia has failed so thoroughly. Or the ones who already know and don’t care cuz they got enough of a kickback from kicking down.

I’m sorry but how is that unique to the US, that’s literally all of human history and all humans in human history have always had an “other’”.

What makes the US of any more note, if anything, is just the level and formalization of such disgraceful treatment of the “other” that, started with the colonialization of America and the slave trade that boosted it.

Do I think it could be said that this is not the first time that such a thing has happened in history? It’s just this cycle, who knows how long these Cycles go, and hopefully it’s when we eventually evolve to get off of.

Which is a real doozy when you think about the duplicity it is to no longer allow a convicted citizen the right to vote, which is so strongly held by some people on all sides, almost evenly I’d say.

How it must feel, to be so cool to allow yourself the privilege of not participating, just like the criminals politics generates. 😎

Football Jerseys from a bygone era on Saturdays isn’t the only indicator that someone never really grew beyond highschool.

This is so me for the last half year or so. Doesn’t it feel, like, equally terrifying too to you?

If you have an android, check the Fdroid store, there are several apps that show you the raw output from every type of sensor on your device. I was surprised to find out several features on mine.

Exactly. I hate the sun. Too bright and too hot.

Exactly. The source and the setting make the difference, not the looks.

Some big wig isn’t going to raise a hand in a board meeting and ask to go to the bathroom. Why not? Because they’re an executive and this isn’t a school room.

I’ve not once ever heard or seen represented any person ask something like that… likely because its pretty easy to have the social skills to know better. So why are there so many loud men who want tk instead blame their looks when its just a refusal to abide by the same social skills?

Additionally, NASA is seeking to foster a commercial economy in low-Earth orbit. To that end, it is working with several private companies to develop commercial space stations that would be able to house NASA astronauts, as well as those from other countries and private citizens, by or before 2030. By setting an end date for the station’s lifetime and sticking with it, NASA can help those private companies raise money from investors.

Emphasis mine.

I propose we bring back the age old traditions of liberated piracy, just, in space. That is all.

Because most of these companies have some of the best lobbyists out there how else could they possibly get away with continuously taking money from our taxes and handing it over to them to build all these cell towers and infrastructure that they’ve only Built less than 5% of

Hey.

You know what?

The only use those types of thoughts have in anyone’s life, is to remind you of something you value completing.

Thats it. Once you’ve had the thought, let the next thought follow just be - Yup.

Maybe you do it, maybe not. But putting that pressure on yourself isn’t serving the purpose of doing that thing, in fact, it almost always does the opposite.

So yes, Ideally, we’d have no motivation other than feeling the need to do a thing simply because its what need to do.

But its not like that, for anyone. Stop being so expectant of yourself, and instead just expect that kind of thought to come up, and then wave at it, and let it pass on by.

No I’m saying yeah that is the thing that exists right now, and for some people that’s the only way that they can have / use a phone.

Between planned obsolescence and how careless and demanding in resources even phone apps are becoming now, cheap phones are as bad as really old phonesn

All I know is that maybe instead of putting a law like this in we’re going to just add the price somewhere else I say we just shut all these companies down and run this cell phone towers ourselves since all of our tax money has been going to these companies for them to build all these things that they don’t ever build or they build the bare minimum to get away with nobody taking the money back and it’s fucked up

Because how else are we going to have at least some models out there for people who can’t fucking afford these ridiculous phone prices without doing payment plans?

Just like health insurance that’s like tied into your mobile plan. We all thought we hated when we paid for minutes, and then for when we were paying for minutes and data, how naive were we.

The only thing the Sith did wrong was not hire a queer person for their uniforms / outfits.

Thats the equivalent of a “preemptive peacekeeping” mission. I’d have thought we’d see the UK be the first to something along these lines. 🙄

For those mornings when you can’t seem to get rid of all that lube, try the new Cactass!

I don’t pretend to know the full and total solution, but I do know what need to happen… but I know the historical flashpoints tsld to at has so often forced these issues? Th

Ladies, Gentlemen and everyone in between and outside of:

If you require/have a salary meaning you receive a paycheck you are not wealthy. The people who have100’s of millions, if not billions, do not receive a paycheck unless it’s for Pomp and Circumstance, and even at that amount who the fuck would bother.

There is no middle class, and there never has been.

It is currently, but education of the current voting populace began, and began to fail, long before 2025.

Believe me, i’m accutely aware of 2025. I’m preparing as best as my homeless trans ass can atm, in case me and my chosen peeps feel it best leave in a hurry.

And, while it spells out lots of shitty policy for the trumpers, I very seriously doubt that the concept isn’t much more than an assembly of 1. Stating the obvious, and taking the reigns / credit for, the exploitations started by men who are long dead. 2. A group of groups/shakey collective, and their ideas on how to “take over” the government in a very “you won’t believed this loophole” sort of way.

Is it possible they even mostly succeed? Abso-fucking-lutely, and I worry that its very very likely.

If the left, and those hurt by their own right leaders, cannot manage to stop this, within or outside of the government… and considering how so many opportunities to do that between now and then… then we deserve it. And i’ll gtfo this place, or die trying if it comes to that.

But, given how trump post-election, no longer holds that weighty 2nd term value to the media and politicians alike, I suspect all that trump loyalty dramatically decease before midterms.

Thats further away from being even equal to humans than I think most people realize, and even further in becoming legal.

But once it is, Amazon will be prepped and switching over the very next second.
