You cannot talk about the capitalist elephant in the room.

You are allowed to say anything else, even the racist bullshit of blaming black and latino people for the results, but you cannot question the pro-billionaire status quo.

MAGA elected Trump because, even though they are brainwashed to use different terms and to understand it in a different way, they too hate the billionaire creating, working folk crushing, status quo.

Until we have an electoral system that prevents the duopoly that can be gagged by the ultra wealthy the beatings will continue until morale improves.

:(

Ahh yes, Mr.Unity…

That’s also now 1.5 million people out of work and not “contributing” to the economy, not spending money or generating tax revenue.

But any step past “step 1” is too far for Elmo to think about.

Thanks! I’m lucky enough to live in a bortle 4 zone so that was taken right outside my house, it’s just processed a bit to pull out the colors and darken the background.

If I’m not dead in 30 years I’ll absolutely make sure I’m dead! I just need to wait out my older family members and then I can finally just stop.

“Biden is a dictator, he uses executive orders!”

“Trump is a man of action working for the people, he uses executive orders to get stuff done!”

Fuck you dishonest propagandist assholes…

For astronomy (really astrophotography, which is considered even more expensive) I guess it depends on what you consider expensive. For $500 and with 3 free software products I’m able to produce stuff like this:

A rather large telescope (8" dobsonian reflector) I have as well was “only” $500. So it can be a hobby that you don’t need to spend all that much on, but again that depends on what we consider expensive. $500 is definitely not cheap but I’m just a schmuck in a factory and I could save for that.

But how did they know that one was the best!?

Someone wanted it so badly they bought a partially eaten croissant!? Connoisseurs are a strange bunch I guess.

Something I’ve been doing as a kid is just counting slowly. I don’t know if it’s distracting to be thinking of counting or what but usually by the time I get to like 8-10 I’ll start going. That and no one wants to stand next to someone just randomly counting. Lol I don’t really do it out loud, I do count in my head and it seems to work.

Kind of a double edge though because if I get to 20 I start thinking like the comic lol

There’s a concept of a “shy guy” that isn’t “confident enough” to pee comfortably at a urinal so it’s not so much that you can’t pee in a stall, it’s that for those that are already concerned about the issue in the comic they’d be concerned about being thought of as a “shy guy” too.

I feel this comic so much that of all the things I’ve seen on the internet this really got a good laugh out of me. I know no one really cares about you peeing, but there’s a part of me that thinks kind of like what is displayed here.

It’s so fucking disgusting to be honest… I’m just a worthless dumb shit uneducated factory worker and at 17 I could see right through that garbage… We’re a hateful group of people whether we care to admit it or not, there was a lot of anti-islamic/Muslim/Arab sentiment in the US at thst time. People were bloodthirsty.

I was going to join the military after highschool to get training since I’m poor and had no real direction to gamble on college, and then take it from there whether to stay in or not. Once talk started of invading Iraq I immediately said fuccccck that. I still blame Bush partially for my current situation. :/

People that can afford 40k a year on this and can work remotely if they even need to work at all don’t need this option. They could move to literally any other nice country in the world.

Poor factory worker schmucks like me need a way out and it doesn’t seem like there is one :/

“even with Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV) joining Republicans to vote against his nomination.”

That’s a really weird way of writing “Republican Joe Manchin joined his fellow Republicans to vote against Democrats as he always does.”

Ok so countdown to the article that finally proves he just has a dartboard with people’s names on it that he likes and wherever the dart lands is the pick for the department…

It really is amazing that we’re not only in the era of “total social and environmental decline” but we’re also in the era of “the absolute worst fucking people on earth get away with everything.”

Honestly I thought it was really stupid to hear Trump going after “low propensity voters” as if Kamala wasn’t.

To me, politically engaged people by nature will vote so why the fuck wouldn’t you be trying to reach those that don’t pay much attention? Like ffs if these people can’t be their own advocates how could we expect them to run the damn country… Very very stupid. :(

Matt Gaetz using the DOJ as a hammer for “justice”:

Merrick Garland something something “hammer of justice.”:

That’s a pretty big issue of mine as well. I’m 38 and I live around a sea of old people. Not only is where I live too expensive for people my age, but there isn’t really anything to do where you could meet someone. I have absolutely no interest in going to a bar, I don’t even drink anymore.

Can confirm.

If self worth would have a numerical value, before online dating mine was in the single digits, maybe teens, out of 100. After, it’s deep in the negatives.
