Thats the catch 22 of America, its “good” except when its not, and like 60% of Americans are one missed paycheck away from it being “not” - And once you’re there this country hates you and does everything it can to make sure you stay fucked.
See: SCOTUS ruling the other day that you can’t illegalize homelessness but you CAN illegalize homeless behaviors like sleeping outside or in a tent.
(Because since pot is increasingly legal we have to bolster those legal slavery numbers somehow!)
I couldn’t say it better so I’ll just second this.
There are days I just want Terry Crews to run as Camacho. Don’t know where he stands on shit but he can physically crush an opposing world leader and that seems like a start.
No, this is Patrick.
Oh is s2 up? Oh shit
The epitaph on your plaque will say, “Here’s the result of your hopes”
Ive paid for private email hosting for years now, and run a bunch of services on a pi now. Google is almost completely out of my life, and my fb has been deactivated for years. I’m not kicking any corporate walls down, but it feels good to be the change I want to see. 🤷♂️
I could never get that to work anyway lol
One of my current favorite techy creators writes a blog post for most of his videos I can reference if I’m interested in the project. ❤️
Thirded. I used it when I was learning to code and its super easy to search and reference back to older stuff.
“Pointing out Republican disinformation would bring attention to Democrat disinformation and democrats will take a Republican over giving ground to the left ANY day.”
I actually never watched ds9, but LOVED voyager. I hated Enterprise and could never get into it. I think all this new Trek happening is killer though!
I don’t know fuck about coffee and 99% of the time drink basic bitch Maxwell house from the warehouse club, but I love dark roast. Not these new megacaff brews being discussed though. I used to occasionally get Starbucks Sumatra, I just tossed my single serve thing and got a French press, and a bag of Peets Major Dickasons Blend.
I guess I don’t really have a point, but I’m open to suggestions as I try to drink less crappy coffee lol.
I’m not familiar enough with Ensiferum to have an opinion, but I agree with you on Korpiklaani. They’re still good, but the old lack of polish adds something to the sound 100%.
Are you defending authoritarian policies of historical socialism alot?
Nope, but I do point out that most socialist countries fail due to direct US intervention, which is true but inconvenient to their narrative that socialism is a failure.
I have also been called a communist, but this wasn’t meant as an insult but a description
Are you familiar with the American concept of the “Bible Belt?” It’s essentially just the American Southeast, Texas out to the East Coast, up to mid-Virginia or so. (The confederate states, basically.) This section of the country continues to be hyper religious and hyper conservative. What I’m getting at is that in this neck of the woods, socialist and communist are used almost exclusively as slurs lol, for anybody who doesn’t have an almost comical conservative stance.
DAH RIN DUNDUUUN
I get called a tankie pretty frequently for anything vauguely left of biden on Lemmy. Ive never heard the term IRL, but I HAVE been called a communist IRL two or three times for saying a 40 hour work week should cover a basic level of housing.
That was SO TIGHT when I saw that option recently when I reinstalled windows ❤️
Oh nobody likes the healthcare system except the people profiting from it and the people who think billionaires will love them and share if they sing their praises enough.
