Yuppp but this time we're going into it with the ostrich administration. They'll put their heads in the sand and gaslight the population saying it's all a conspiracy to make them look bad and it's not real.
Or "even worse" they'll say "for the sake of the economy we need sacrifices. If you die you died for your country but no, as RFK Jr has decided, you may not have a vaccine."
Hey a new thing for Christians and Catholics to argue about!
"Oh yeah, well ACAB!"
"NO! Fuck you, ACAB!"
"yeah, yeah we all know ACAB means you!"
New Amex Babycard Gold™ 0% for the first 6 months after birth!
*Terms and conditions apply, APR of 69420% starting on month 7 and subject to change if I fuckin feel like it.
I did, but I don't care anymore.
...I'll see myself out. :P
In all seriousness I just don't know if I have it in me to keep paying attention to a trainwreck that I have no control over. I can only help my local community in some limited manner, anything outside of that all I can do is vote and yell at a "representative" that is bribed to not listen.
Fucking seriously... One asshole even said if Bernie won he'd be put against the wall like having a fucking firing squad aimed at him...
Anything to keep their millions and millions from decreasing slightly... Even fascism apparently.
"We were really excited for all your money when Trump won! Wahhhh!"
Thirties doesn’t meet any of the three criteria.
Math checks out. Had all my relationships in my 20s. Haven't had a single one in my 30s and I'm going on 38 now.
And will anyone sue Fox other than some private business?
Nope. Democrats will just sit back and let Fox, Newsmax, OANN and the like all go and call them communist scum that want to kill babies and destroy everything.
It's so aggravating.
kak·i·sto·cra·cy
noun
Government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state.
Touching NASA very well might be the thing that finally pushes me to actual violence.
Scientific endeavors, but specifically research and exploration of space are pretty much the only things in life I really have a passion for.
I appreciate the kind words! Empathy is proving to be increasingly more rare in society so I appreciate you wanting to express that.
That in pretty much every single sense of the word I'm an absolutely pathetic loser.
I didn't think I'd ever be anything special, but I also didn't think I'd be 38 and single for going on a decade, living in someone else's garage, working in a factory in a dead end position with no degree and not an ounce of self worth to even presume to choose a direction.
10 year old me couldn't wait to be an adult, but after seeing me I think 10 year old me would never want to grow up knowing what I'd eventually become lol
Drain the swamp!
... From the citizenry directly into the federal government!
He will be appointed "president" when king Trump will be on his deathbed, possibly 40 years from now, because the absolute worst of us never seem to die.
Acting as if she hasn't already! There's a reason that dude went after her husband with a hammer and not her. He knew better than to mess with a lich.
Just going to plus 1 what every one else is saying. We ditched reddit for various reasons, mostly about their business practices and exploitation, but this time you would be the one to benefit directly from utilizing it as a tool.
I totally agree to use it to help yourself and then toss it when you don't need it. If it helps you feel any better use the website with an ad blocker, not the app, delete your interaction when you have a satisfactory conclusion, and think about it as taking advantage of spez by doing so, not being taken advantage of lol
Best of luck!
You register with a party, but if you vote in person they just verify your name against the registration, you don't sign your ballot.
If you mail in your ballot, you signed the outer envelope, not the ballot, so after verification of the signature hypothetically they discard the envelope and just run the ballot.
In any case I don't think there is any record kept of who votes for what candidate.

The department of government efficiency
This joke writes itself...
"government should do more to solve problems"
Republicans: No.
Wtf is government for?
"The criminal justice system isn't tough enough on criminals"
Republicans: YES
...oh
Curtis Yarvin: Where J.D. Vance Gets His Weird, Terrifying Techno-Authoritarian Ideas
Yes, Peter Thiel was the senator’s benefactor. But they’re both inspired by an obscure software developer who has some truly frightening thoughts about reordering society.
Hey Lemmy! Time to do some digging!
I was sent a link from a friend about some Totally Cool™ guy who has close ties to JD Vance: Curtis Yarvin. Anyone aware of this guy and his desires? I won't put the link in here as my last post was removed because of it, but a comment within the thread is copied below.
Apparently Japanese media covered the story as was posted to Reddit, but there doesn't seem to be too much talk of this in the US.
From a comment in the reddit discussion: “Curtis Yarvin is a far-right ‘intellectual’ that wants to end democracy and install what I can only really describe as cyberpunk feudalism. He’s suggested turning the United States into a patchwork of corporate fiefdoms ruled with absolute impunity by CEOs, as well as putting mandatory ankle monitors on all unemployed and poor people. This sounds like a joke, but I’m serious. JD Vance is not just a fan of him intellectually, but also a personal friend. As someone who has known about Yarvin for several years, it’s been really concerning seeing how he could potentially become a Rasputin-like figure in the event of a Trump victory. Beyond this, Yarvin has also spent many years advocating for what sounds eerily like Project 2025.”

For those familiar with Star Citizen lore, he apparently wants to turn the US into the Stanton system “lol” …
