That reminds me. I’ve had a box of cables since '22 and every time I go through it I think, “damn, I really need to organize this and get rid of some shit”. And then I shove it into my closet out of sight and out of mind until the next time I need something from within it.

Why do we talk about CEOs like anything they say is not complete bullshit?

If by some miracle one of the countless disasters we’ve teed ourselves up for don’t kill me, the stress of watching society repetitively and gleefully kick the can down the road definitely will.

my $1 per month Disney or Hulu subscriptions

I’m sorry, what?? Did you get grandfathered in on some crazy deal?

That’ll win them over for sure!

Maybe something’s going over my head but my understanding is a VPN can get you around region locks but you still have to pay for the streaming service to access it.

Unless you’re talking about using a VPN to pirate, which I’ve definitely done without a VPN, albeit a long time ago.

Don’t forget, Hulu is owned by Disney too. Honestly, I’m done with video streaming at least for a while. I never have time anymore to watch anything so it’s just a money suck and physical media is better anyway.

This shit has been going on since June, though the brutality seems to be ramping up. But over the summer they’ve shot people’s eyeballs with gas cannisters, beat unarmed protestors, tackled elderly people to the pavement, the list goes on.

The elementary school next door had to move because of all the toxic gas they’ve been deploying. The residents who live in the apartment complex across the street aren’t so lucky. Check out ICEOutOfPortland on Instagram if you want to see what’s been going on. They’ve been posting video documentation from the front line since this started.

Hard to enjoy any small gesture when on the same day we’ve lost our first amendment rights to fascism and spineless complicit media institutions.

It is inevitable that an opposition would form against you. You either let the movement continue to gain traction and risk unseating you or you use your power in a corrupt manner to silence them.

That makes it sound like it’s just a passive side-effective and not a critical tool in the elite’s arsenal in keeping the working class subjugated by holding the promise of suffering over our heads if we choose not to spend a third of our lives generating wealth for them.

Charlie Kirk was a piece of shit human and the world is a better place without him. Suck my dick you fascist fucks!

But if you or I get caught celebrating the death of right-wing influencers then we risk not only losing our jobs but also the weight of the federal government crashing down on us.

They want a reason to declare civil war so badly

Why is there a period after FUCK?

It was never about protecting children, it was always about punishing the mother.

About to start another replay of The Last of Us both one and two. I would pay a lot of money to be able to forget the story and experience it again anew.

Yeah, I’m definitely not advocating for the left to forego all values in pursuit of power like the right has. I’m merely pointing out the fact that elected Democrats seem to think appealing to the right will eventually win them over and I’m trying to highlight why that’s a losing strategy. Though I think that’s already clear to most people here. I’m just frustrated by watching the same bullshit play out over and over whilst society crumbles around us.

Not just Trump, I don’t see anybody on the right even trying to hold themselves to the same standard they demand of the left. There’s no good-faith effort whatsoever. They play the victim and demonize the left with every opportunity they get and every time they end up being guilty of what they constantly accuse the left of they flip-flop their stance and promptly move on, only to repeat the same script for the next atrocity their ideology produces.

And yet, time and again the left seems to be either unable to recognize this or unwilling to accept it. They act as if we continue to make concessions then we’ll be able to find a common ground, reunite as a nation and return to “normalcy”, despite every indication that the right has no interest in cooperation whatsoever, even when it comes to agreeing on objective reality.

Why do these corporate yahoos suddenly care so much about what people are saying on the internet? Is it because they could see themselves in… Ohhh
