Yup, which is why they fight so hard to prevent any change to this system!

You weren’t too high for this explanation and it was a very educational one. Thank you for sharing!


Healthcare is too expensive!
I say this to my wife any time we watch a movie with animals in it!


Anything with that many eyes is definitely self-aware!


No wonder the Pentagon hasn’t passed an audit in a decade or something!
You pay more at the pump, but we likely pay as much, just through constant oil subsidies. Without those, we’d be paying more per gallon at the pump. This way, even those who don’t drive still pay for oil! Capitalism!
Now THIS is a recommendation! My next printer (fuck HP) will be a Brother laser printer!
Rectally, to mix things up!


You’re getting paid for doing the work of Fox News and Republican grifters, right? The only place I’ve seen or heard about anyone wanting to take guns from anyone has been from right-wing conspiracy theorists and right-wing talking heads who use that shit to scare right-wing idiots into voting against their best interests by conflating sensible gun laws with taking all guns away. You make up stats or cherry-pick from somewhere, that’s clear.
I know of no democrat voter who doesn’t own a gun nor any that don’t want them to be available. We just don’t think our school kids should need to practice active-shooter drills or invest in bulletproof backpacks to get an education because Bill here HAS to have a weapon that can cut a deer in half from a mile away. They got dumb-fucks spouting this shit off cause the more they repeat the lie the more dumb-dumbs believe them, fight a culture war instead of a class war, and buy more guns.
Republican voters with your belief will find out how many lies they swallowed if a Civil War does break out. The left may have fewer guns but I don’t know of any gun nut with more than one life.


And tRump hates Hillary because Bill said she’s better.


The future is vibe coders getting jobs creating plausible, yet fundamentally broken firmware updates to OTA brick F-35 fighter jets.
Come attack us, I dare you. Jack here used his prompting skills to package some Stack Overflow RUST code into Golang binaries that another prompt converted into XHTML so another prompt could compile it into a Bash script to fix the bug in flight controls. Come within 50-nautical miles and we’ll OTA update your plane so hard you wish we fired missiles at you!
How many Assholes we got on this ship anyhow?
YO!
I knew it, I’m surrounded by Assholes!
::flips helmet mask down::
Keep firing, Assholes!
Bots are for script kiddies what loud af exhaust systems are for incels: a megaphone for their inadequacies. If you gotta try to be the loudest thing around, artificially, you probably don’t have a lot going right in your life. Unfortunately, self-reflection requires maturity and many of those people seem to have peaked in elementary school, so it’ll never change.
The fact they try this hard on a platform like lemmy is even more pathetic. I’d feel sorry for them if it made a difference. Just best to ignore them and block them than waste energy on them. If they gotta artificially win internet points to feel good about themselves, then pat their little head, give them a good job, buddy, and move on.


This is…actually a really good analogy for consumerism. When the market has little to no competition and seemingly insurmountable barriers to enter it, it can really feel like a hostage situation. At best it’s like two dudes sitting behind a desk, ripping off their hook-and-loop patches to caress their nipples while listening to our feedback.
I bought a bunch of ghost hunting equipment and then my sister backed out of going ghost hunting with me. I wanna do it so bad, but not alone. Did you stop because of an experience you had or other reasons?
