What?

Agreed, those people are the best. But also, that's a bit of a nightmare scenario, because now you have to decide if you're going to risk saying something from five minutes ago, or decline the kindness and feel bad for rejecting the gesture.

The sun will likely set today.

TLDW: The moisture sensor might be on the right side of the microwave, and the bag was pointing left when the steam was released.

But that was definitely worth a watch.

Awkwardly attempt to join the conversation, only to be talked over mid-sentence by someone else, and so you wait for another lull. Attempt to start again, only to be interrupted again by someone else. Watch helplessly as the subject of the conversation drifts far from the point you were going to make. Minutes pass, and everyone is glad to be talking about something else. You let go of the moment, and resign yourself to remain quiet. Then someone says to you, "Oh, what were you going to say?"

Sure, probably. But that's what happens when you elect leopards and have faces.

The point is to inspire fear and demand unwaivering loyalty. A little random violence against your own people helps tighten the inner circle around the leader, hoping for safety. Anyone outside the circle is surely doomed, and only the most loyal are surely protected. The leader is fickle and irascible, so be on your toes and never risk his ire.

Oh no! What's Freevee?

That's excellent news.

They're only going to raid employers that didn't contribute to the campaign. It's extortion.

Reminder that Pennsylvania was one of the states where Russian terrorists called in bomb threats to shut down polling sites in heavily democrat areas to help Republicans win.

Customers must also designate an EV to receive the charging credit through GM Energy’s Smart Charging Portal.

There it is. If something is free, you're the product. Don't trade your private data for like $900 in electric bills each year.

Ok, but that doesn't really narrow it down. Who should we be focused on?

You can't be serious. This is some sort of elaborate counter-revolutionary psyop to make progressives seem like ineffectual dipshits, right? Nobody is this far up their own ass. I didn't hear you out? What in the entire fuck are you talking about? Answer a question or shut up.

If we look at the actuarial tables for known rapists and convicted felons who are elected to be the leader of the most powerful nation to ever exist, he's going to die of advanced old age on a throne of gold while underage concubines tickle his flaccid genitals. There is no justice.

That's why the Occupy Wall Street movement fizzled out. That, and some good ol' fascism.

You didn't ask because you presumed to know, and decided to dismiss my very basic and straightforward questions because you decided that I'm your enemy. If you feel "confronted" with questions like, "what do you hope to achieve?" and, "how will you know when you have achieved it?" then I suppose it's a good thing you'd rather run from a discussion than engage in it. Imagine what would happen if I had actually disagreed with your cause.

How can I disagree with you when you cannot articulate what you want or how you're going to get it? You can't have allies if you don't have a goal. And if you bothered to check my comment history here or on any social media site, you'd know where I stand on pretty much any issue. But go ahead and enjoy your tantrum. The world is a mess, and I won't begrudge anyone a coping mechanism.

I would also like to have no advertising.

Those really ought to be simple questions to answer, whether you deem me worthy or not (whatever the fuck that means). Any successful movement should be able to answer them in just a few words. It took you more time to be dismissive and snarky than it would have to simply answer them. If you could, you wouldn't need a civics lesson.

What do you think a national strike would accomplish? Who are you negotiating with? What are your demands? How are you going to convince the half of the country that elected Trump that striking is in their best interest?
