Hell yeah. Bring it on

Soulseek, people. Just pirate things and send money directly to artists (or buy merch). Fuck all these streaming companies

No I mean like the physical books. What happened to them after they were scanned?

What did they do with the books after they scanned them?

Wow, I almost reflexively downvoted this post just because I hate it so much

Computers could have been so cool, instead they’re all just becoming shitty slot machines.

You mean the ones who had to massively pivot their entire business model, because they were relying on self-driving cars being practical in 2019?

So I’m a carpenter. AI has zero relevance to my job.

A revolution is not a shitposting party. It is an act of violence wherein one class replaces another

Good point. I’m not a Christian, but I always found Pascal’s Wager vaguely blasphemous. Like, don’t hedge your bets with God… He can tell 😂

Personally, I have been for years. IME physical flyers, wheatpasted signs, and generally networking in person has always gotten way more people to come out to political events than social media does. The main exception was twitter before they added algorithms in ~2012.

This is a great link to share with people who are like “I gotta use corporate social media, that’s where all the people are!”

If you start actually reaching them with a message the corporate fools don’t like, they’ll just shut you down. The only winning move is to GTFO

Yes, cause working during a global depression is going to be so awesome

Skill issue. I was long term unemployed and it was the most fun I’ve had as an adult. I leaned into my hobbies, built a boat, and became a published author. People who just wanna drink all day will do that whether they have a job or not 😂

Okay, that’s more like hilarious malicious compliance, then. I pronounce the Dutch still cool

Smh they’re not even right about the meaning of the iron front symbol/“3 downward left arrows inside a circle” can’t believe my taxes go to these jabroni-hogs who can’t even get on wikipedia.

What you’re missing is that not the same amount of people voted in all of those elections. 2012 and 2020 had high voter participation, 2016 and 2024 did not. Trump got fewer votes in 2016 than Romney did in 2012. If everyone who voted for Obama in 2012 had also voted for Clinton, Trump never would have won.

Same thing with ‘24, if everyone who voted for Biden in ‘20 had voted for Harris in ‘24, we never would’ve had Trump 2. This is why I think Trump isn’t very popular, he just wins by default when the Dems run a bad campaign or have an uninspiring candidate (side note, I totally think America is ready for a woman president, just not Clinton or Harris specifically)

Wasn’t Reagan the one who initially implemented California’s restrictive gun laws?

Yes, because the black panthers were doing the kind of things that white gun owners fantasize about (actually using the guns for community self defense)

They just usually say “sensible gun reform”, and, like, everyone agrees with that

I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but you are deeply out of touch with American gun owners if you think “everyone agrees with” “sensible gun reform.” Lots of gun owners vote purely to maintain the same level of access to guns we have now. They call it voting “straight 2A” and they will never vote for any Democrat because they perceive them as “gun grabbers” who are negotiating in bad faith.

America has so many guns that to do anything about it we need to talk about a serious cultural transformation on a level with “Japan banning people from carrying swords in public” paired with the kind of mutual, transparent disarmament that happens in countries after a civil war. “Sensible gun reform” is an interesting idea because it simultaneously doesn’t go nearly far enough and is also considered way too extreme by many gun owners.

Narc ass “journalists”

Nah, on average, people in Europe are way better drivers than in the USA. To the point where it’s shocking to me as an American.
