I’m not singling any “side” out as the culprit. It’s always “this vs that” with everyone these days. Left vs right. Black vs white. No gray areas.

I’m blaming everybody who didn’t vote strategically on Kamala to lessen the horrific effects on the whole WORLD this will have. Not that it seemingly has to make a difference, considering the American voting system is shite. Perhaps Trump was due to win regardless of the American people voting.

Not instead of, but as well as.

What’s wrong with Bluesky? From my perspective it looks pretty dang wholesome. Could someone please elaborate?

The only thing weird with this photo is putting a glass of wine anything on the floor next to kids playing games. That glass will either be spilled or broken.

You mean the part about it being painful? Yeah same.

Gilead is nigh.

Pardon my ignorance as a non-American, but which out of the four was the option for (possibly) ending the genocide?

They should, yes. (I’m not American.)

The thing about picking the lesser evil is that it’s supposed to make the sides compete against one another. It doesn’t take a single election to change the atmosphere of politics. It takes many iterations to make the politicians understand what the people want, if the only communication from the people is via voting.

That’s why you pick the lesser evil, because the only way they would otherwise make things worse is by joining up and working together to destroy the country and its people. But then you have bigger issues than democracy.

Many examples, but more wholesome places where people share interests rather than places where people discuss opinions. E.g. c/cubers, and similar.

a criminal record that would make it almost impossible to find an entry-level grocery packer job is completely OK for a politician fucking president of a huge country

I refuse to think about it that way lol. Quantity does not equal acceptance for me. We have to hold our countries’ representatives to a higher standard than being outright criminals, guilty of many, serious offenses. If there are only a handful of politicians left after such a sift, then so be it.

Thank God I’m not in the USA. But it’s not like this doesn’t fuck over the rest of the world too.

I had a chance to buy a Tesla. Chose not to. Chose a Volvo instead. All heroes don’t wear capes.

Hmm. I should buy a cape. Hey Google, remind me to buy a cape.

I just feel like after a public rapist becomes president, twice, there’s no hope for Americans. It really is hopeless by now.

I know right. I wish any of my friends were using that shit. Can’t get them to get off of Facebook Messenger though. FML 💀 I hate it.

Shiitake 🍄

I’m seeing it

Imma be honest, this analogy confused me a bit. Could you dumb that down a notch?

Evolving back to not having this inborn acquired taste?

No but seriously, just sheer will and keeping an eye on what we eat. Buy raw ingredients and cook for yourself. Make high quality food with what you can afford. (Basic ingredients are cheaper anyway.)

Gilead’s coming, just watch.
