Believe it or not, a lot of us are actually capable of being angry about more than one thing at a time.

I also don’t like that I’m not doing the things I should be doing. Yes, I absolutely do see that those things need to be done, no I don’t think someone else is going to do them. Yes, I wish I would just get up and get it done too.

The kind of people who would be bothered by being accused of “Virtue Signaling” are also the kind of people who are aligned with the rise of fascism and enabling of racism on the platform. But do go on acknowledging that working for Meta is itself an immoral position.

It’s almost understandable to bend the knee in the hopes of avoiding the coming purges, but this goes well beyond just seeking corporate survival. Genuinely disgusting. It looks like the way forward for Proton will be lit by the bridges they’re burning.

Have you not noticed any of the many things Musk has said and done to suppress things like civil and worker’s rights? How he’s sucking Trump’s cock so he can dictate policy to the country? How he turned Twitter into an actual Nazi mouthpiece? That’s what he’s using his image to try to push.

Sounds like a good time for a whole new benchmark model to rise to the new standard.

Except that Bond Villains are usually clever and invent something themselves. This dipshit is like the Bond Villain we have at home, from a rejected script that someone keeps failing to salvage.

They didn’t see the previous cases as abuses of power, because he was always hurting people they already didn’t like, or in the very least he was hurting people they didn’t care about.

Fortunately I absolutely get to refuse service to anyone giving me that kind of condescending attitude.

Hotel.

I plan to go to work like it’s any other day, including not getting any holiday pay. I will try not to roll my eyes as customers tell me it sucks I have to work, even while they themselves are the reason I have to work.

I’m homeless and unemployed by the end of the day and have to flee the state. Both my landlord and general manager are hardcore MAGAts, and I live in a small, remote town in a very red state. It would genuinely not be safe for my politics to be known.

At this point I just let my imagination run wild and look for worst case scenarios, then trim off only the most outlandish.

The first step is going to be encouraging and enabling “VIP Protection.” Restrictions on things like where you can carry a gun will be relaxed for people acting as security for “People at elevated risk,” which will mean “The rich.”

Next there will be new laws that increase the severity of punishments for actions against the rich. It’ll be similar to hate crime rules, escalating the punishments beyond just what was done.

There may also be changes in “Self Defense” cases loosening the requirements to justify lethal force if the one defending themselves is “Economically Maligned,” so basically if you’re rich you can kill someone in self defense just because they looked at you while poor. VIP protection details will be legally permitted to subdue and detain anyone they suspect of “ill will toward” their wealthy client, including everyone poor in and around whatever location the VIP wants to visit.

Finally Republicans will finally “compromise” on gun control by allowing new fees and taxes that are solely intended to move guns out of reach of the poor.

It will all be in the name of “fighting class warfare” and “protecting job creators from the radical left.”

Perfect time for users to buy something that isn’t D-Link then innit.

When Democrat politicians fuck up, other Democrats will absolutely call for, and get, resignations. Even things that boil down to consenting adults in privacy can result in resignations when it’s seen to compromise a politician.

When Republicans fuck up, the party circles the wagons and goes full defensive. They will absolutely fight to resist any calls to resign, using any tactic they can think of to keep their latest pedo/pervert/con man/criminal in power. Only if the evidence is incontrovertible, and the outcry impossible to ignore, will they ever consider resignation, and as we’ve seen with Gaetz, that’s not even necessarily the end of their career.

MTG is exactly the kind of brainlet to think that Democrats work the same way Republicans do. She thinks “Release all the Ethics reports” will make Democrats back down, or at least intimidate them. A party agreeing to release ethics reports relating to their own people is utterly unthinkable to her.

Because time travellers keep appearing with guns?

Some of us are still trying to figure out how this happened here. At least in between trying to figure out where and how to flee the country, and shutting down entirely.

When there’s snow on the ground, drive like you have an open cup of coffee in your lap. Turn, brake, or accelerate too hard and you spill steaming hot coffee on your bits. Winter tires will help a lot, but drive like you don’t have them.

It’ll still NEED a power cable, it just won’t COME with one.

And the fact that Google didn’t pay them more money than exists in the world will be why Russia blocks Google’s operations in the country and seizes every bit of property they can get their hands on that they say was even vaguely related to Google’s operations. They didn’t even bother with a realistic number, because in the end they don’t really care who does or doesn’t believe them.
