Nothing quite like big government Republicans passing ineffective laws, while trying to claim they are the small government party. This only affects the big sites, the American sites, and the legally aligned sites. But hey, if they want more adults and children exposed to the shadier sides of the internet, so be it.

It does, though this will also be their excuse just to raise the price of prime in general. Even with their rewards card and 5% back, the “benefit” of prime is getting slim for me. Might be time to cancel prime.

“Look at these folks on the violent left, threatening a Supreme Court justice.”

-Trump probably

Democracy and civility was fucked to death the day Nazis stormed Charlottesville and executed a counter protestor, and Trump called them “fine people” and still got elected. It was necrophilia when he told the Jan 6th terrorists to go home in peace and that he loved them.

There was nothing moderate about his campaign. His primary focus during his campaign was to jump on the culture war bandwagon of restricting the liberties of trans kids, and inputting the “will of the parents” into the schools. Not all parents of course, just the ones that align with him politically.

And boy did he deliver on those promises. Laws allowing teachers to discriminate against children, book banning rhetoric, and much more including delaying and halting the already passed legislation on recreational marijuana and fueling the abortion issue.

He’s as much of a shit bag as Desantis and Trump, he’s just more careful about it.

Someone once showed me sl. Bless them.

Might be the only thing Putin fears is revolution. I would think the risk of that increases in response to food scarcity being more common.

Or it’s just a worthless apology.

We’re not really that unique. We’re not consciously or likely even unconsciously referencing that thread or others like it. We’re just coming to the same witty conclusions those before us did.

Even your comment comes up every time there’s a similar thread or experience. Mine too.

Happy New Year, btw.

This one gave me the imposter syndrome rollercoaster again. I’m inept, you can’t convince me I’m not, but I’m not that inept that I can’t see multiple glaring flaws with different explanations at play here. That passes for IT professionals in pivotal roles. But I’d be too embarrassed to continue existing if I were anyone involved in that rollout “plan”.

Obviously there’s some sort of spectrum of knowledge and experience, but I cant reliably discern what it’s supposed to even look like anymore.

You’ve got an audience if you feel like elaborating. Sounds like a fun story haha.

This is the circle jerkiest of fediverse circle jerkery I have seen yet. Excellent job.
