BlueSky - Because maybe we can go back to the way things were?

It’s worth pointing out that “lesser of two evils” reasoning is used by both parties. White privileged “libertarians” voted fascist because they felt unrepresented too.

Every single elected official who isn’t explicitly against FPTP was OK with this outcome. They know about the spoiler effect.

Speaking as someone very lucky to have one of those jobs…

What you’re suggesting is rarely possible. The overwhelming majority of people just need to pay rent. It’s not a failure of the individual doing a bad job at job searching - it’s because we’re forced into jobs we hate by people who have never been in this situation themselves. There aren’t enough enjoyable jobs to cover everyone’s cost of living.

“The fact is, that civilisation requires slaves. The Greeks were quite right there. Unless there are slaves to do the ugly, horrible, uninteresting work, culture and contemplation become almost impossible. Human slavery is wrong, insecure, and demoralising. On mechanical slavery, on the slavery of the machine, the future of the world depends.”

— Oscar Wilde, The Soul of Man under Socialism

We get mandatory lunch breaks 😁

Unpaid, so 9 hours are consumed 💀

This vote is purely symbolic.

I expect all Democrats will vote yes because there’s no chance it’ll pass.

Ron Paul used to love hopeless votes like this to expose where his opponents stood. A nay vote means they’re a fascist who doesn’t deserve your vote in any election for any reason. There are no degrees of fascist.

Tiger whiskers. The victim dies weeks later, and you can just find them around tigers.

Nice Guy Eddie: C’mon, throw in a buck!

Mr. Pink: Uh-uh, I don’t tip.

Nice Guy Eddie: You don’t tip?

Mr. Pink: No, I just kidnap them afterwards.

All prices have been fake since the bailouts started.

IMO it’s inevitable now that they’ve made it harder for users to customize their experience (API debacle). The site will have to change over time, and it will gradually piss people off. Eventually old.reddit will no longer be worth the cost to maintain.

IMHO this is no different than Neuralink. My computers do a great deal of my thinking for me. That’s why FOSS is so important.

I’d be happy to pay your moving expenses with the tax money we’re currently paying red states. Countless people are already being hurt; that’s what has prompted this conversation.

I think the blue states should just secede. The red states aren’t defending us from anything anymore. The federal government is executing people in the streets with impunity.

What’s the point of having Fuck You money if you never say “fuck you”‽

It’s more fun than the right-wing version where you line up your victims to save on bullets.

Which part is political?

Hey you, you’re finally awake.
