“Weird Al, or as I call him not so weird Al, because weird is such a nasty word. Nasty, nasty word. That’s what they called me. They called me weird, it was very unfair. I’m very Normal. But the media, and the left, the antifa, they called it wrong. They’re weird, everyone thinks so.”

-djt, probably

You scan a qr code and watch it on your own phone. Checkmate. I suppose if your smartphone dies/breaks/doesn’t exist you’re shit out of luck. Also I guess that means they keep logs of who you are and exactly when you finished shitting.

What a neat idea, China is such an innovative country.

you really are a reddit refugee huh

Except that guy listened to people who knew more than he did

That’s crazy. There’s no way 2/3 of Lemmy uses Emacs.

Nobody hates Reddit more than redditors.

Originally it was from the supernatural community writing shipfics about Sam and Dean Winchester. Eventually the meaning diluted, and you had 4chan spouting “incest is wincest.” Reddit’s core userbase was poached from other web 2.0 sites, including 4chan, and so the echoes of imageboard culture live on.

Drop the w and you’ll understand.

Oh, these rich bastards would love that. Nah, they’re stuck with me. This is my country too. They managed to run me out of my home state but I’ll be damned if I abandon the country I know we could be.

Yeah you’re right, it’s always an “incident involving XYZ”

Presumably there’s a way to make literacy tests make sense too but we don’t live in that world. The history of American voter suppression says voter ID laws in the United States are a form of voter suppression. One Person, No Vote by Carol Anderson is a great read. It should make you angry.

1. White people
2. The kinds of IDs white people are more likely to have
3. Whoever will go along with our bullshit (realistically state governments; no idea if he’ll actually try to force blue states to go along with it or just use it to deny unfavorable election results)
4. We totally thought about this, and we have a great idea for it
5. Women can’t vote, stupid
6. See 5
7. See 5

/s, in case anybody reading really needed it

4chan is a very stubborn website

I’m hung over, can we reschedule?

Talk about putting it mildly

Thomas Paine was pretty cool

The people who like guns so much aren’t the ones opposing Trump. You should take notes, because it’s coming to your country next.

The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.
