Veto away, Krasnov. By all means, please make Republicans look like incompetent fools for the next 2 years so we can sweep in 2028 too. After that, maybe finally we can get some shit done and prosecute the fascists (if the corporate masters are willing to indulge us, of course).
The founders never would have imagined something like Unitary Executive Theory would ever take off, as they assumed that each branch would be too selfish to willingly diminish their own power by handing it over to another branch.
edit: On second thought, seeing as half of them didn’t know if they wanted an elected representative or a king to rule their new nation, maybe the outcome was all too predictable even back then. Apparently some people, even wise and intelligent people, tend to gravitate towards the mindset that the powerful deserve to rule and the meek deserve to be ruled over as a sort of natural order.
Wasn’t this the same woman who was called out for concern trolling the other day on Some More News Podcast?
Yeah, she seemed slippery as fuck. This behavior isn’t surprising.
That’s kind of why I like Lemmy better. Rarely do I see reposted content. At one point I had a spreadsheet where I would log how many times I saw the exact same post on TIL or YSK.
Smaller communities are better.
I guess I kind of understand why companies want you to be logged in to engage with their platform, as the user metrics are the main selling point to advertisers, but man do I really fucking hate it when a platform forces me to log in by preventing me from using their website. So much so, that I haven’t made an account on Instagram or X or Facebook or whatever dumb social media platform specifically because I can’t browse without signing up. Well, that, and also the greed, the lack of privacy, the tacit endorsement of fascism, et. cetera.
No, I don’t want to make an account.
No, I don’t want to download your app.
No, I don’t want to turn on notifications.
Gah, fuck off with all this horseshit. The internet used to be fun. Now everything is a chore and nobody does anything unless they feel like they can make a profit off of it.
“Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.”
One religious exemption, please!
I couldn’t get through HPMoR. Did that story really inspire Peter Thiel? I didn’t sense anything fascist-coded in it, but again, it was a cringe-worthy read and I stopped right around the end of the first chapter because Harry’s barely-veiled smarmy attitude was too noxious for me to tolerate.
Good. Maybe a little unmasking will put some fear into these caustic little shitheads.
They only behave the way that they do because their superiors have emboldened their basest instincts and shielded them from retaliation .
If these guys ever thought thay consequences might catch up with them, they’ll be out the door in no time flat.
My understanding is that they’ve always wanted to port it to PC since it was an incredibly successful title, but they had licensing issues with Sony thay prevent them from doing so.
In other words, don’t blame From Software, blame the suits at Sony for thinking that keeping Bloodbourne as a console exclusive forever will somehow translate to selling more Playstations.
I mean, the much more common method of using birth control devices also invalidates your argument so…
Then incest is only bad if the intent is procreation. If two sterile adults who also happen to be related have a bit of consensual sex, what’s the issue?
Judging by how he behaved in 2018 the last time he lost control of congress, he’ll happily spend the rest of his term golfing.
He doesn’t actually give a shit about being president, he just desperately wants to be on TV all the time.
