What is being a leftist if not engaging in the ad nauseam repetition of things you feel ought to go without saying to one’s comrades, though?

I thought quokk was an anarchist instance. Hmm.

See, supporting Iran’s right to self determination and wishing them the best in kicking the teeth out of the hegemon’s mouth is only half the equation from the anarchist POV.

Only tankies would leave it at that.

Condemning stupid hierarchical bullshit masquerading as religious freedom such as this though, should be pretty easy.

This situation is probably going to be the best and most poignant example today of why we proclaim “No Gods, no masters”.

The college bro expressions motif on aliens are low key my fav part of Beetlemoses’ comics.

Why the fuck is the AuDHD drive by audience taking potshot in a sentence equating it with creepiness and unwashed-ness?

Did one of us touch you in a bad spot or something else wrong with you?

It is time for a grim dark reboot of ReBoot.

Let’s see what Bob chooses to do after Megabyte offs Nibbles and Little Enzo Matrix turns into a real problem for Mainframe.

Easily defended against: Upon finishing your transaction, simply press every single button on the machine in quick succession, with roughly equal firmness.

About $30K-35K for the proper rolling solar punk set up, and family health issues meaning I’d be the lone survivor guaranteed after the first winter.

Imo, the ladder goes:

Rest of the terrestrial animal kingdom < Bengal Tigers < Polar Bears < Hippos < Rhinos < Elephants < Honey Badger.

That’s as far as the ratio of animal capability to fuck something up divided by willingness to kick something else’s ass goes.

I actually think the Tiger and the Polar Bear are fairly close in terms of power and lethality, and it would all come down to whether the Tiger had the opportunity to stalk, which it probably would avoid doing anyways to something the size of a Polar Bear.

I still do not know where Honey Badger rightfully belongs on Earth’s tourney ladders, so I rather err on the side of caution there in case one reads this.

Hmmm. How smart are squirrels and how food motivated are they? This bears further study…

Do not eat the reality-veil lifting shrooms.

Lilliputian affairs aren’t meant for humankind and the separation is intentional. Hmph.

The point being, you don’t know who’s going to be good at something based on past performance in unrelated roles.

What’s surprising to me isn’t that the random promotion system works over the performance in past unrelated roles system…

What’s surprising to me is that you practically never see the only other logical conclusion used in the business world much.

Aptitude testing.

and I don’t see how knowing would make that any different for me.

It would confirm you’re a claimant with valid damages caused to you, legally speaking, for which you could then seek civil remedy directly from the various different culpable parties, even if criminal prosecution isn’t coming.

Demilitarization is just a (admittedly big on account of how counter to the long running paradigm it would be) single step.

The next 5 presidents will have a lot of work to do over the next 20 years…in the as of now extreme hypothetical thought exercise where the country is steered towards actually being an honest member of the global community.

This hypothetical can’t even happen as long as the fascism is on active display mind you, so that means it would have to be thrown back into the shadows (most likely imo) or finally fully eradicated (I fucking wish).

But after all that, the next 20 years of US history would need to be a lot of demilitarization, a lot less meddling in the affairs of other countries with the sole goal of “How does the US come ahead of absolutely everyone?” and a hitherto unknown for practically the entire country’s history period of “What do we negotiate to make a better world in which the US thrives because the world was made better?”.

In addition to a lot of work and money spent to recoup any semblance of soft power back, and a lot of loss in easy political wins.

The soft power can’t even begin to pretend to be restored without a lot of spending on public education and I don’t just mean schooling for children.

Extensive outreach to deprogram the ‘might is right’ and other assorted fascist/racist bullshit out of the population would be required, because it’s easy as shit for other countries to see when there’s no political will in the American people to force its leaders to carry through with something.

Fuck, I could stay here all day, but it’s also kind of depressing. It’s not impossible, none of it.

But the hurdles to fix this fuckery? Hella.

Maybe with some dragon gold hoards in the people’s Treasury, and some nice and fancy dragon scale armor, it would be easier. Grinding boss fights for XP tends to make the journey easier 🗡️.

That probably should be one of the earlier steps and sure would show the world some commitment.

Are you my former boss?

Is…is there another way other than cold turkey stopping shampooing? Legit question. My thick mane of curls and I are always on the lookout for ways to stay in balance against the environment.

Right? Low key the only time in my life I’ve read a believable “and then they clapped” on the Internet. I wish I could shop when there’s a grocery bag hero about.

A farmer may want to make sure the law lets him fist his steers or whatever the farmer lingo is, whilst holding a fancy turkey baster with cow batter for the oven, for money. For more cows.

Does his nephew diddle the sheep? I dunno. What happens in Kansas and stays in Kansas affects me a lot less on the day to day than…

The director of the FBI seemingly and very vocally suspiciously trying to make his dog whistle sexy.

These sick fucks would bring back the coliseum if they could, and make sure they bold on the marquee in big bold letters how the show features wild beasts sating their every appetite.

So yeah, I personally count AG carve outs a few rungs beneath the wtf ladder from googly-eye. The horror machine AG exemptions can and do empower as far animal welfare goes non-withstanding.

Because these weird fascist fucks always project their desires that they want to push on the rest of us in advance and this one is just fucking weird.

We all know Florida is one of the hottest and most humid places in the country. It’s a form of torture, likely to cause death

Plus also literally mosquito food in a place with encroaching new fun mosquito borne illnesses, as they’re trapped in a cage without any sort of protection. Absolutely deliberately cruel and unusual.

It would be pretty trivial for their backend system to interpret the images server side and build an identification profile for each vehicle. This way, even if you remove your plate, your vehicle can be identified.

They already are.

That’s what Nightshift/OS whatever the fuck they changed the name to, the law enforcement portal that makes use of the camera feeds and cross references with/across the various law enforcement databases, empowers.

The publication briefly mentioned it obliquely, but the article is about the camera software itself and they’re being remarkably restrained in their reporting. To avoid legal challenges perhaps.

I don’t see any reason the global south should get involved.

When has the global south ever gotten the choice to not be embroiled in the empire’s machinations?

At least be consistent in your thoughts.
