I'm guessing the faces many people make and put on the picture used for their social media videos looking like they just shit their pants or ate a lemon are going to continue to get more stupid until it's just a pair of giant eyes and a sphincter

A guy walks over to his friend's friend's house and tells him to pay up or else. The reasonable response would be to spit in his face and tell him to get bent.

Trump's policy decisions killed those people in Texas & Epstein helped him and other sick rich monsters rape kids

If the only thing Cain has to whine about in 2025 is denying Superman's leftist origins written by depression era immigrants, he's really got nothing to complain about or is trying to distract from some bullshit or sell something

No shit, people want cheap, reliable transport and workers would want to build them, build and work on replacement parts, build batteries, etc. The only people supported by blocking BYD in the US are executives, shareholders, and the politicians they bought.

The winter of our malcontents

I wish the people making these decisions had even once read Steinbeck, or any book without pictures

With frequent mass school shootings I would think the only defensible position would be to be for as much gun restrictions as possible, otherwise you'd have to defend a necessary condition to allowing mass shootings to continue.

Absent that condition I think people should be allowed to do what they want without fucking up everybody else.

Maybe they'll unintentionally outlaw pollution like when the Republicans accidentally legalized cannabis in 2018

 

Just trying to live with as little advertising as possible and curious what tips or tricks the community has aside from moving out to a cabin in the woods.

I can't really get away from road side advertising for now. Public sporting events are completely infected, and for the ads I am forced to see I try to make a conscious effort not to buy their goods or services. I won't subscribe to a streaming service if they have a sub+ad tier, if they're separate free with ads or sub no ads I'll support it.

Not really for any moral stance, but ad blockers are good at avoiding malware and some services are basically broken if you have to wait for an ad network, and I just feel mentally healthier in general without the extra propaganda.
