That’s not what they meant; they’re saying that US politicians prioritize Israel and the Epstein class before US citizens.

It’s more like you have a million apples, and there’s a whole town with 1 apple each who’re starving. It doesn’t matter how you got those apples, that town should storm your house and take them, because you don’t need them and the fact that you’re hoarding them at all is an indication that you shouldn’t be allowed to make that decision.

If the ballot had simply said “Do you want to tax billionaires’ wealth?”, I bet the result would have been different. There were 3 separate ballot measures, one of which needed to be voted Yes, and the other two of which needed to be voted No (as they would negate the first), they weren’t super clear, and there was a lot of propaganda getting shoved down their throats about this. I’d be willing to bet that no small amount of people supported the measure but fucked it up when they were voting.

I feel like if they’re smart, they’ll use the threat of it as ammo to get republicans to play ball with their initiatives. Put forth a bill to do something useful. It gets blocked by filibuster or veto? Great, let’s spend the next few weeks focusing on some really awkward depositions, investigations and prosecutions. Then try again. Repeat as needed until they get the hint.

I really hope it happens while he’s still alive. It’s petty, but I want him to die knowing none of his stupid monuments to himself will survive him. For some reason, being remembered seems to be really important to him, and I hope we can take that away just like he’s taken so much from the country.

Or they’re uninformed, have been inundated by propaganda by social media algorithms and billionaire-owned news outlets, and don’t understand what they’re actually voting for.

I’ve not seen the inside of a girls’ bathroom in a highschool, but I have seen the inside of a boys’ bathroom and let me tell you, I would not want to inflict having to share that bathroom on the girls.

There’ve been a lot of poll results getting turned into articles talking about this. The overwhelming result of basically all of these polls is that the economy / cost of living is the most important issue, closely followed by the state of democracy. It’s consistently in the 30-50% range for both of them (percent of people who said that was the most important issue to them). The fact that “state of democracy” is a close second is heartening, and suggests that there might be enough outrage over what’s happening to drive some actual change, but we’ll see.

Okay, but you said in the post I replied to that you don’t believe Trump will actually do it. So you’re criticizing Kamala for not lying about something that Trump is lying about.

So Kamala should have lied better, and that would have appeased you? Is that what you’re saying? Because that’s what it sounds like you’re saying.

While animal-themed apps are obviously superior, Voyager is a good choice from a feature perspective on Android. Works well, easy to navigate. It at least has an animal-themed icon if not name. :)

This game is pretty fun, particularly if you have people to play with. It’s not groundbreaking or anything but you’ll get $6 worth of value out of it.

It has a neat feature that I haven’t seen many other games employ where if you’ve got multiple monitors, and you’re playing splitscreen coop, it’ll natively display one player’s view on each individual monitor, rather than splitting the view on a single one (or requiring you to change your resolution to an ultra-widescreen one). Quite nice.

I honestly wish more US politicians would endorse Netanyahu if they support him. Just come right out and say it, publicly, because maybe it’d make people realize who not to vote for in November.

I’d watch a Guardians of the Galaxy movie that was just 3 hours of the characters interacting with each other and otherwise going about their day. I’m confident that they wouldn’t need a plot to be entertaining.

I’d also just enjoy watching Rocket for 3 hours if I’m being perfectly honest.

If you wouldn’t pay $500, then VR just isn’t for you. And that’s fine, there’s nothing wrong with that, but that’s basically the baseline bottom of the barrel price for this type of device (and the ones priced like that come with a LOT of caveats), so if you wouldn’t pay that price, why are you even part of the discussion? You were never the target audience in the first place.

What am I missing? They were Nigerians abducted in Nigeria… How is this related to the US?

It is immediately impeachable and criminal, but none of the other impeachable and criminal stuff he’s done has gotten him inpeached or criminally charged, so why would this?

He and his friends made gobs of money insider trading on oil prices, so there’s that.

If only they had voted for the candidates who wanted a strong social safety net, rather than the ones that wanted to fuck everyone who isn’t part of the 0.1%, maybe they wouldn’t have to worry now…
