I mean, I do wanna leave, tbh.

Not like there is a plethora of historical evidence surrounding tariffs even in US history…

But really, that’s the point. He’s here to destroy the nation.

Nothing like a succulent Chinese meal…

Yeah I get that. The clip type are pretty easy. I know the more expensive ones can be kind of wrapped over part of your ear which may be even better, these ones just go over your earlobe and they work for me but I could see how they could be too loose or tight for people

These are awesome and let you still hear your surroundings. I highly recommend them.

Yeah lol super comfortable. Also no ear infections this fall/winter lol

The more affordable soundcore version of those Bose clip on ear headphones. I thought they looked cool when I saw one of my colleagues come into work with them so I ordered them that same day. I now have two pair, bought my girlfriend a pair, and can’t think of how I lived my life with headphones actually going into my ear lol.

Link for clarity.

Edit: *lived not loved lol gotta love autocorrect

To create fear, distrust, confusion, anger, distraction, and validate the base’s hatred of whichever “outgroups” are being blamed for everything. If you fit a profile, they put you in a box. Doesn’t matter if you’re “innocent” or the reason for the government fucking with you or deporting you is a mistake anymore because agencies like ICE and DHS are so deeply compromised as to not follow any rule of law.

This shit happens all throughout human history in dictatorships and fascist states.

Damn. This is brutally relatable.

Absolutely true. I wasn’t even thinking about voting systems with my comments but definitely a significant barrier.

That’s why I’m saying we’re way too far gone for that lol I agree. It’s predicated on democratic systems working and those have been broken for a while.

Edit: We’ve been fucked since Marbury v. Madison and the electoral college, but the idea of a less dogmatic approach to the constitution from the get go has its upsides. Way too late for that and I’m thinking in terms of future societies building off of what might have been done better.

Yeah… we’ve been well past the point of constitutional crises that never get addressed or even an eye batted toward them for decades lol.

Press freedom has been fucked for so long.

One of the few things I agree with Thomas Jefferson concerning the actual functioning of the US government is that the Constitution should be revisited and updated more often. It would definitely encourage greater awareness of the document and keep many from both (1) having it used as a dogmatic/pseudoreligious excuse to fit into whatever narrative the oligarchs hope to push and (2) failing to enshrine fundamental liberties in a national codex.

As it is, we’re way too far gone for that shit and I think a complete restructuring is in order, which I don’t think will happen in our current union. Gonna take some major change and pain to get there.

DUI hire for sure. He, RFK Jr. and a lot of the other crew in this disgusting administration all look and act like absolute aliens. I saw a picture of RFK recently and dude looks like a fucking warped tree.

Omfg. That’s impressively stupid.

“I, for one, welcome our new Viking overlords.”

As a side note, I am sure someone named Jesus has already been deported by the current administration.

At a certain point, we’re back to philosophy. Do you really want to build in a back door in the first place? What is the trade off between privacy and security and potential use by any enforcement agency in apprehending who they consider to be bad actors? How much of the resources of those agencies are actually allocated to taking down real threats to actual people vs protecting moneyed interest?

Not just you. Lots of negative feeling going around. If I could put a word to what I saw today, it would be “grim”.

Jesus. That’s exactly how some people operate. Every day. What the fuck is wrong with humanity.

Lol no. These guys were tenured professors doing the same shit for years. It’s a systemic issue where they rely on a definition of the “Socratic method” that is completely divorced from the original and functional tool. It’s a buzz word they’ve been misinterpreting for over a century.
