No

Yup we’re all idiots

“Your dick, my knife”

They’re certainly in for a bad time I’d say.

They also consistently take more money from the federal government than they provide.

I moved from CA to NC and the taxes were absolutely worse.

EDIT: They were, I even had a check that was half in one state and half in another, and guess what? The CA check was bigger.

I crisscrossed Oklahoma on one of my cross-country trips, the state absolutely sucks and they even know it that’s why you can legally drive like 80mph through the whole thing.

Every modern “capitalist” is just a wanton neo-feudalist. They don’t want to compete with other capitalists; they want to be feudal lords from whom the peasants (and capitalists) must rent their tools and resources and pay forever; they want the government to cement their fiefdoms forever.

Do you have any idea what would have happened if Biden just arrested Trump?

If he would’ve done it early in his term, I suspect Trump would not have been elected president again. But instead he pushed the idea through some absurdly bureaucratic system that allowed Trump to run the clock out on everything.

I hope it all burns.

Trump loves the poorly educated

Exxon mobil can go fuck itself. The enemy of my enemy is my enemy like doctorow was saying.

Don’t dare criticize any of it because that would be woke or something.

The hyperbolic headlines will continue until the subscriber numbers increase.

Are you saying for me? Cuz facebook sucks ass too.

I remember the old Internet. Honestly, lemmy is the only thing I’ve encountered that feels even like the newer part of the old Internet.

The only fast food I enjoyed in recent memory was Pizza Hut. During some scare about MSG they removed all of the MSG and I ordered it a time or two after that and it was nearly inedible.

I suspect similar things happened with other types of fast food. I think there’s a flanderization effect happening with a lot of it. The same is definitively not the case for things like pizza in general, as I can order from my local NY-style pizza place and pizza is still just as good as it ever was.

All that is to say it wouldn’t surprise me at all if fast food was objectively shittier across a number of different metrics.

Looks like it was famous enough that it got its own wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_is_for_they/them

I read an article saying that basically everyone that watched the ad came away with much less support for Harris. It triggers the exact portion of people’s lizard brain that they use to make their political choices. It was the 2024 version of the “Willie Horton” ad.

Lol, nothing like waiting until the last possible moment to do the tiniest thing that won’t even accomplish anything at this point and then writing an article about it.

I just tried that…went searching for a room and amongst some software package rooms the two I stumbled upon that made me nope the fuck out are “COVID-19 truth” or similar, and some pro-trump mafia thing that had the n-word in its description. I tried to search for something even in the state of california and the closest I got was a gay hookup channel.

Thanks, I fucking hate the Internet now.

The small business tax credit program Harris spent so much time talking about seemed like exactly the wrong thing to be talking about to exactly the wrong people.

It would maybe work for people who are fiscally conservative and socially liberal (AKA nobody). Deeply nerd-brained capitalists that think “gee whiz, this market is not competitive, competition could be grown by creating small businesses for the giant corporations to compete with!”…it’s a completely bookish garbage policy competing for ad space in an environment where her opponent was talking about how Harris was for giving transgender, border-crossing, violent criminals “sex changes” for free with “your tax dollars”.

When I saw the “She’s for they/them, not for you” commercials airing on NFL broadcasts this year, I shuddered to myself and I got that bad 2016 feeling all over again.
