Good. I’m glad you’re upholding the rule of law up there. I hope for your success, as I hope you would like for ours. Your longtime ally is still in here somewhere.

Because they would have had to take the risk and come back in their leaky original vessel that made it home successfully?

Looks like the taxes are closer to 37.5%

It’s still the recognized Internet stereotype.

People just aren’t noticing that this is protection.

I understand people being frustrated. Who isn’t. But these people lash out like children are just as bad as the people who caused this. It’s like our collective getaway car is a rusty Ford Pinto and they’re like “fuck that thing, burn it down!”

My man, that was our getaway car from fascism. Was that your intention?

Yes, let’s pick a party and burn it to the ground. Wait, what?

You better look around you, fam. I seem to remember some trucker convoys up there.

To be fair, they’re exaggerating in order to scam people. Not that many people paying actual double mortgage, especially if you count any kind of upkeep.

But that’s just another way of leeching.

I’d be discussing declining the procedure based on that. I don’t know if I’d pull the trigger, based on a number of things: how likely can I get the procedure done elsewhere or by a different surgeon, how badly and quickly do I need the procedure, insurance issues. But I’d certainly try to talk to hospital staff about it.

On the other hand, I’ve heard Herman Cain was an idiot savant. So just because they can’t make change without an automatic register doesn’t mean they can’t do surgery.

Putin is. He knows exactly which ones to hit and when. Plays him like a damn xylophone.

It’s more like, “I went through it the hard, legitimate way. It took me years. And then these people just hop the fence and get me in trouble for it?”

There’s a good NYT - The Interview podcast about it. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/magazine/ruben-gallego-interview.html

This particular rhetoric isn’t helpful. The man is a child. If you tell him he got bitch slapped, he’ll drive us all into the ground just to “win”.

I could be wrong. Maybe it’s more important to message voters. But it’s a risk.

Could be an older monitor, too.

You can blame the ten Dems, but the others definitely took a risk during the censure hearing.

Lashing out indiscriminately doesn’t help. It’s a lot like “both parties are the same”. Following politics takes work, unless you’re just in it for the TikTok videos and short bursts of outrage.

Wouldn’t that not be enough though? It should help in a lot of places, particularly the bar itself and the digits. But I’d be concerned that the center of the battery indicator and the wifi icon would still burn in.

Or maybe people just don’t keep their phones charged.

You seem closer than I am, but my impression was that a lot of Left Behind Christians are excited for the end to come. They can’t wait to be raptured, and welcome any signs from Revelations.

Thank you. And I certainly get that. Honestly it wasn’t my idea, I found someone who said something very similar (better than me), and they were absolutely right.

It’s certainly feeling way to Weimar Republic in here. And it’s largely fueled by Americans getting their news from Facebook and Twitter.

So don’t encourage despair in Americans. It’ll be a lot easier if half of us are on your side, both trying to save America from fascism.

Don’t capitulate in advance.

It’s a good warning (you hope). You clearly grabbed shady software. If you’re lucky it’s not malicious, this time.
