A few bucks, a fancy suit and the right friends and you too could be a criminal AG roaming our governmental halls with the rest of the criminals ducking their judgement.

They did make a brief mention of Mastodon, but like a lot of places made it sound a lot more confusing than it is.

Are there any well maintained indexes out there where you could put in a few check boxes of interests and it spits out an instance to join in fedi space yet?

Sheesh here people are dying to give you business and you can’t even get them a price on their toe tag?

Professional boxing keeps a running tally of wins via KO, if death by punch was that common I suspect it would be banned as a sport by now.

Why is all the fuss over women’s bathrooms in these things? Thought we had moved past the ‘women can’t protect themselves and need men to do it for them’ thing at this point.

You can take a sure bet that a number where just here for the US election cycle. Their job is done so time to move onto the next topic to stoke outrage over.

I don’t think I’ve actually blocked any individual for a reason other than being an outright troll in the pure post-2-piss-off sense or a spambot.

The thing to remember with the extreme left or right is that they’re about as credible as the drunk on the corner ranting and raving about aliens putting mind control chips in their breakfast cereal.

I’ve engaged with them a bit too much at length occasionally, particularly on former accounts, but often as not it’s for the novelty of a freak show spectacle.

We already had Jessie Ventura for Governor here, it was entertaining as a kid, but now this…

I’m just done with this toon town administration, and it hasn’t even started yet.

Yeah, but honestly in a way I’m kind of tired of reading the name at this point. It’s big, it’s scary, it exists and isn’t going away and needs to fought.

Until put into practice it’s also just words.

A lot of religious texts that many people treat as dictates from a divine being are full of similarly exaggerated wish lists. In most sane parts of the world they’re not implemented with the force of law. We’ll soon find out how sane America is.

They decided not 2B, not that it was a question.

It’s a bit like the logic of why Trump may be better than De’Satan, he’s a reckless destructive arse, but at least he’s stupid too.

Problem is though now they have a pile of people behind that 2025 doc to make up for their own lack of knowledge…

I love the idea of electric vehicles and all, but the amount of stored battery power to run something like this being used to spray a bunch of water sounds scary. Hoping the waterproofing in the battery compartment is some next level work.

This one never had lunch at a public school in the 80s/90s…

Also a common thing at mine, oranges cut to a size where you could put them in your mouth to wear like a boxing mouth guard. Called them orange smiles…

Huh, small rabbit hole there, wasn’t aware there was a special baby blood type. So basically someone who has the luck to have dodged what sounds like a super common virus all their life gets to have special uses for their donations.

I don’t know about the ‘so shallow’, that walks pretty boldly into incel speak generalizations. The part about the imbalance of likes rings true though. At one point an app I ventured onto had thought it was a good idea to make a visible marker on a profile of how many people liked them.

So as I’m going along it happened to try and match me with someone I know. So I messaged her for a laugh about it, and she said she had just joined a couple weeks back, boredom or some such. In the couple months I was there got something like a dozen requests, all from women in India or Phillipines, my guess they were hired by the company to help keep guys on since it was a fairly small place.

She on the other hand had a couple hundred already. Now admittedly she’s plenty attractive, so that helps of course, but the number difference is crazy. At that point there needs to be some fast-call rejections to just have some reasonable number to look at in depth.

The guy has been promising hellfire, retribution , and chaos from the start.

Shocked Pikachu

No, this was supposed to be the outcome that saves Palestine, they must have things mixed up somewhere…

You show em how big and tough you are… One of these days papi Trump will be proud of you, I’m sure of it.

We had a primary where nobody of consequence looked to challenge Biden, so he won easily. Then people started crying that he was terrible for weeks on end until he stepped down and endorsed his running mate and current VP. Nobody stood up to throw any notable challenge then either so she ran. Now people are bitching that she was wrong.

If no viable candidate that anyone has heard of outside some nich internet chatroom stands up to run then either do so yourself or quit complaining. It’s not that complicated, if you found the absolutely perfect candidate, but nobody has a clue who they are then shouting about how great they are compared to the nominee just makes you look like a loon rather than some great savior of the party.

Learn a lesson from progressives, it’s been almost 20 years since we’ve been happy about a presidential election. That’s never made us stop voting, it’s never stopped us from working on the next election, and it sure as shit hasn’t stopped any of us from complaining.

At this point I hardly know what title to apply to who any longer, but for a large part those claiming the title of progressives where the loudest bunch clamoring to vote third party or stay home.

I consider myself lower-midfle class, not poor, certainly not rich. I vote to support school levies and public good works. I say tax the hell out of the ultra rich. Take a major chunk of our military budget and put it to Medicare and free college. All the same kinds of things these progressives ask for.

Yet when I say Kamela is the best realistic choice out there in this election it gets people all worked up saying I’m not better than some red hat looking to do evil in the world.

Why? This country is simply not going to turn into something resembling a Scandinavian semi-socialist country in one fell swoop.
