I’d love them to take a knee at the anthem. I hope someone or many do.

Cowards.

Too late. We’re fucked.

This is idiotic.

We got angry when Japan did this in the 60s and 70s. I’m going to paste part of the opening from Neal Stephenson’s “Snow Crash.”

Why is the Deliverator so equipped? Because people rely on him. He is a roll model. This is America. People do whatever the fuck they feel like doing, you got a problem with that? Because they have a right to. And because they have guns and no one can fucking stop them. As a result, this country has one of the worst economies in the world. When it gets down to it – talking trade balances here – once we’ve brain-drained all our technology into other countries, once things have evened out, they 're making cars in Bolivia and microwave ovens in Tadzhikistan and selling them here – once our edge in natural resources has been made irrelevant by giant Hong Kong ships and dirigibles that can ship North Dakota all the way to New Zealand for a nickel – once the Invisible Hand has taken all those historical inequities and smeared them out into a broad global layer of what a Pakistani brickmaker would consider to be prosperity – y’know what? There’s only four things we do better than anyone else

• music
• movies
• microcode (software)
• high-speed pizza delivery

The Deliverator used to make software. Still does, sometimes. But if life were a mellow elementary school run by well-meaning education Ph.D.s, the Deliverator ’ s report card would say: “Hiro is so bright and creative but needs to work harder on his cooperation skills.”

If anyone in the greater Seattle area needs one of these printed, I can do it for you. I even have Cascadia colors if you want to go blue, green, and white to represent the PNW. (otherwise, I’ve got black and white.)

Agreed. Voters didn’t get a choice. There weren’t democratic primaries.

How about looking inward, Dems? How about accepting responsibility for not proffering a candidate who could beat Trump?

Yet, here we are. Tangerine Gorilla is the next president in line and a hoard of supplicant chimpanzees with the complacent centrist democrats incapable of critical reflection propping it up.

Fuck.

Wake up, assholes. Wake the fuck up.

Federation didn’t create lemmy.

I really wish I could Homer my way into a hedge.

Exactly why I’m angry.

Franken was ousted for a harmless joke in which all parties were privy. In the grand scheme of things, he would have done more good in office than out.

No shit. But look how people reacted when I criticized them elsewhere in this conversation.

I use the term loosely, but as you can see with the reactions I get from others, you’re either all on board or apparently they think you’re a Trumper. Which takes me back to the “nuance” argument I had. Which is probably synonymous with critical thinking in this case.
