It already is tbh, it just sounds like a lot of slurs and calling people dummies instead of implying they are dummies

Tipping is anti-labor and discriminatory. Excluding tips as taxable income is an attempt to save it from growing anti-tip sentiment.

State and local taxes will still apply anyway

Lead us not into temptation

Pretty sus that the author bothered to provide a short history on tips which glosses over the whole slavery thing

And people who voted Obama for that matter. Though, one might still argue that these voters are intersectionally racist and sexist, tolerating one or the other but not both.

BRICS as a whole, if they trade with Cuba, must have decided to call the US’s bluff because the US needs BRICS more than BRICS needs the US.

The US is not going to actually stop trading with BRICS, that would be utterly self destructive

Do I understand it intellectually, yes. I still held some hope. I also don’t like presuming that kind of rough deterministic forecast to things. Just because a situation kinda looks like 1918 Germany or something, doesn’t mean it will play out exactly the same way.

I think she’s more of an art historian, but that just makes it all the more devastating because she should know better

The helpful comments I left were something to the effect of:

• I couldn’t find a non-Israeli source for “90% of Jews voted for Kamala”
• Even if that statistic is accurate, it is coming from exit polls, and does not necessarily reflect all Jewish Americans (in particular it excludes those who stayed home)
• She claims that we should listen to the Jews who “actually do something” and show up and vote for the lesser evil, but she is inconsistent by ignoring the many Muslims who either voted third party or didn’t vote at all — as a form of activism

Okay so I found the video I originally wanted to share. She didn’t delete it, she just blocked me after I left some helpful comments

Sorry, I am not familiar with computer

Love is Blind endless marketing budget

Driving a fucking Bentley too. Life must be so hard for him

“Democracy Dies in Darkness”-Americans have woken up, and I don’t think we are ready for their wrath

If you visit one of the invidious links provided by the HexReplyBot, then tap the camera icon in the title so it switches to headphones — that will load an audio-only page which can play with the screen locked. Works for me at least.

Trying to squeeze value out of casual discussion is lethal to casual discussion. It reminds me somewhat of Reddit’s attempt to monetize the website especially in the lead-up to their IPO.

I suppose Hexbear can be construed to serve a leftist purpose. That purpose is community and sanctuary. I don’t think it can or should be more than that, at least not in this space.

I don’t think that is enough information to make a meaningful comparison. For example, megapixels is a poor basis for comparing two camera systems, especially today when the photography arms race is located primarily in the post-processing. Battery size means little when separated from the software it is driving. Two displays of equal resolution can have different quality in terms of colors, contrast, peak and min brightness, etc. Not to mention some intangibles like 5+ years of software support from Apple that I doubt will be provided for a budget Android phone.

She is absolutely correct to say that the counter to Trump’s “strongman politics” is a deeply righteous and moral campaign. The Democrats either don’t understand this, or they think that brute-force browbeating can replace it.

Democrats have, for too long, spoken from a position of moral authority when they have no real basis for it.

A righteous and moral campaign would seek to increase diplomacy and stop the US-backed wars in Ukraine and Palestine. It would fight for free healthcare and cancellation of student debt. It would crack down on corporate exploitation and police brutality. All of these things are possible within the confines of liberal politics.

Completely agree with the sampler pack. Different blades work best on different hair types.

I spend maybe $10 every 1-2 years on razor blades. It’s much cheaper and less wasteful of plastic.

get paid by the same people to put on a show

A show that functionally propagandizes the bourgeois conception of the nation. The point of the election isn’t just to elect a particular candidate, but to frame the country’s self-identity and worldview from the perspective of the ruling class.
