The big take away I’m getting from this whole situation is that the powers in charge give so little fucks about the lives of our military that they would risk all of their safety and throw them under the bus just to avoid consequences and avoid record keeping. If you or someone you know is currently in the military, you should be worried.
That’s what I’m seeing. Now that it affects him it’s an issue.
We need to start having boxing matches or fights for their political debates so everyone can see how cowardly and insecure they really are. He may be old, but I bet you Bernie Sanders could take 70% of Republican politicians in a fight. Maybe watch Al Green hit someone in the face with his “pimp cane.” And AOC would fuck some shit up.
As someone that lives in the rural US and has no option for internet besides Starlink, I’d much rather have fiber. Starlink isn’t bad, but it’s garbage compared to fiber.
Plus I don’t want to give Elmo my money. I really wish I had other options.
I’m just waiting for the project my company was contracted for to get cut. It’s only a matter of time at this point. It has to do with preservation of the ecosystem along the Colorado River which is right up their alley when it comes to cuts. My Republican boss is gonna be pissed when we lose 60% of our revenue for the year.
And in a week, 500 - 2000 people will get laid off to “save money.”
This deeply pisses me off. You have no idea how excited I am to go back to the moon and if that goes down the drain imma lose it.
Yeah, but this time they already have the results they want they just need someone to tell them they are right.
This sounded so reasonable I thought it was The Onion
What’s kinda ridiculous is that Musk could potentially fund all the programs they are cutting and what this budget needs just by paying the taxes he already owes without even having to raise taxes on him. Not what he could owe, but what he currently owes.
Time to act like an old man yelling at a cloud as I try and convince all my friends to go somewhere else. Not that it isn’t a good idea, just that they don’t really care as much as I do.
And I hope the backlash she receives encourages her to make the right decision more often. Not saying it will, just that I hope so. Some “fuck you” energy would be appreciated.
I’m being entirely too optimistic here, but it’s the only thing keeping me sane.
So much for ending our involvement in wars, huh Republicans?
Did he actually say that? If not, well done. If he did, I’m not even slightly surprised.
I played the first play test and it was extremely disappointing compared to the first game. I played like 10 matches and never opened it again. Hopefully this alpha is better and they’ve made some improvements.
What blows my mind is that when it comes to costs I feel like voice actors are probably less than 5% of the budget on a video game. Unless they hire a famous actor I can’t imagine this being that worthwhile. It’s just penny pinching.
You guys literally have all the guns. You know that, right?
Maybe if you didn’t enable him and everything he’s been doing for 10 fucking years we wouldn’t be in this situation in the first place. Now if you go against him you get shut out, which is probably what would happen to Fox and Newsmax. It’s all for the good of America until they come for you. I’m sure within the next week we’ll get to hear about how “woke” fox news is.
It’s the same feeling I have towards Mitch McConnell. We literally wouldn’t be in this situation if it wasn’t for him.
So far he has shown little to no actual means to enforce the majority of these orders. Unless he sends in the military for paper straws and congestion pricing, what can he realistically do?
Kinda on topic, but imma give you some perspective into what it’s like to be a liberal leaning person in a deeply red county. Half my friends are independent or republican, all my coworkers and my boss are republicans, and even my dad is straight up MAGA. I’ve always voted third party because I hated that Democrats never get anything done, but I did vote heavily democrat this past election because I knew how fucked everything would be.
I would say 99% of people do not care or don’t think it’s a big deal. The ravenous Trump supporters you see on the internet and in videos are more of a minority than the norm. There are definitely some hardcore MAGA here but most everyone is just regular everyday people that are just carrying on like nothing is different. Most of them don’t spend much time on the internet and they hardly watch the news. I was talking about the tariff situation to a cashier at a gas station just this morning and it was the first time they were hearing it. And with the news not even covering half the shit that’s going on they probably never will. My roommate works downtown and he didn’t even know about the protests at the Capitol until I mentioned it to him 3 days later.
I guess my point is that the average person isn’t even informed. Not everyone spends a lot of time on the internet so they don’t even see what’s going on. They decide to vote specifically because the candidate says “Republican” and that’s the furthest thought that goes into it. Everyone talks about “this is what they voted for” as if any more thought went into their vote for Romney or McCain than their vote for Trump. And I don’t blame them for it because as far as they know, this was just like any other election. They’ve been bamboozled by local news to think everything is still exactly the same as they slowly pushed the Trump agenda onto them. The hardcore MAGA are definitely fascists in every sense of the word, but these regular everyday people are not fascists. They were just voting for the party they always voted for and were just expecting the same kinda shit from Trump’s first term, and the local news didn’t tell them anything different.
