I feel like I understand but if you can elaborate on the last part I’d appreciate it. And I just mean it seems to extend far beyond just capitalism, although that’s surely a driving factor. It’s hard to remove capitalism from a place that basically was made by people trying to hang on to their money.

In parts of the US. I hate living in a progressive state and getting lumped in with the backward ass parts of the country. This problem in particular differs across state lines. Unfortunately the best I can hope for now is for my state to be left alone.

This story took me for a ride. In a car. Where the driver was yelling the N-word. But it’s okay because it’s transgressive, even though I guess I don’t know what that means.

It was forecasted to rain on my wedding day and my wife nearly died, so I bought seven purple umbrellas and one big white umbrella so they could take pictures in the rain. It didn’t rain until after pictures. Is that irony?

He’s got a great head of hair. My wife thinks he’s a bit of a nutter though, but in a good, nice way.

Everyone was a little white in the '80s, if you smell what I mean.

I cover big public board meetings as part of my job, and when I go on breaks, I tend to use the bathroom, because I am a person. Without fail, someone will come in and talk to me while I’m pissing. I don’t personally care, I was in the Marines for a bit and they beat all of that out of you (i.e., a room with eight toilets and that’s it, no walls, nothing, just eight toilets, four on each wall so you can face each other). Regardless though, I never walk in and talk to someone randomly, so it’s strange to me that others do it to me. I guess I just look like a nice guy.

Jesus, that’s internet HOF shit.

I’m with you, and Ohio and whatever other states are near it (I don’t know because I don’t care about them) are the Mideast.

Probably salt on roads. Sea air kinda rots everything, salty roads just the bottom.

Project 2025 -esque

Yeah, and kinda renders this thread and article pointless. X serves a redundant feature. Who cares if they treated a government like any other paying customer (like shit)? Bashing X is trendy and this article is just another one. I say this never having had Twitter, nor X, and I just don’t care. I also don’t own any MuskBrands™ stock or anything.

There are government text messages and local websites and all sorts of ways of reaching people. Unfortunately, X probably reaches ten times as many people. I think a diversified approach makes sense.

That being said, us gov has sent the text messages and that seems to be the best way to do it. Everyone has a phone. And if you don’t, then you like to live on the edge.

I think the point is you can’t put a search term into a search engine and get results from some random Discord. No body is going to go trawling through Discords to then use the search function to potentially find information from it. Now, if chats were somehow archived and could then be searchable, different story, but I don’t think that’s what people using Discord want from Discord.

“All I have in this world is my balls and my word.”

That’s as close to relevant as I can get.

Color by numbers for the kids. Got a LaserJet though and I use that website that sells bootleg yet serviceable toner cartridges.

Snesley Butler wrote War is a Racket in 1935. This is nothing new unfortunately.

It’s so common. I’ve watched orthopedists tell defense attorneys that having them testify will cost more than a settlement, but they go ahead. And I get it, you can’t just settle every case because it’s cheaper, but it’s nuts to me. Fucking insurance.

Probably nothing. I think his foreign policy resembles something if an isolationist one. But Israel is a wildcard when it comes to US politics so who knows.

More ad breaks for eventual streaming service distribution. Two hours? Only 4-5 ad breaks. An additional 20 minutes? Boom, let’s sell more prescription drugs, or candy, or whatever.
