    Make coffee 50x a day and pour it down the sink

    Flush a whole roll of TP every hour

    Leave sinks on in the bathroom

    Use entire tubs of soap to wash your hands

    Turn on the microwave for hours at a time

    Heat/cool office thermometer to force HVAC into overdrive

    Open new browser windows until your computer crashes and repeat until the network goes down

    Company wide meme emails that everyone participates in (team building) that crash servers and dominate inboxes

    Pour sugar/crumbs everywhere so there’s pest problems

    Accept every phishing email

    Put USB sticks found on the ground into your work computer

  • Fuck me do I ever hate landmines.

    Obviously fuck Ruzzia, and Ukraine isn’t doing anything wrong defending itself in this way.

    But there’s something entirely different about passive warfare like that.

    The footage of drones dropping grenades are pretty brutal too - but for me there’s something different between being hunted by a weapon system engaged in active warfare, and the passive indifference of mines.

    There’s a lot of footage from this war that live rent free in my head, but an especially brutal one was of a Ukrainian soldier(medic?) during the first significant use of western armor counter offensive.

    They jumped out of the APC, clearly picking their landing spot, and immediately their leg was blown off by a landmine. You could see them succumbing to shock as they’re trying to get a Tourniquet on. Thankfully his buddies immediately loaded him up and left, but it’s stayed with me more than any of the others.




  • I agree, and I can’t believe I’m saying this - because the Republicans are unequivocally going full Nazi, BUT

    Republicans are doing crazy Nazi shit all the time. Yeah, the date has significance to American Nazis, and normally anything Nazi would have been publically perceived bad pre-Trump.

    Even then, the Nazi accusations are often poorly executed and come off more as “EvErYoNe On ThE rIgHt Is A nAzi” and less “You are being categorically lied to, and if you vote Republican you will be irreversibly enslaved by the business class”

    But we are so far past Republicans dancing around Nazism that complaining about sharing a Nazi date/location isn’t going to make anyone clutch their pearls and see clearly.

    Trump and the Republicans going full Nazi doesn’t have much impact to the American population because

    1. There are no consequences to being a punk ass Nazi bitch if you’re Republican, it’s actually a pre-requisite now.

    2. No one is producing content to accurately show the Republican path to Nazism, the parallels, the significance, and the danger. No mention of union riots and former working conditions in the US, nothing.

    3. Both political parties are entirely beholden to the donor class who is warming up to Nazism, which is why the Anti-Nazi rhetoric is only done in small, insignificant doses instead of a competent national Anti-Nazi campaign so Democrats have plausible deniability that they warned the public.

    People aren’t threatened by Trump and will vote for him because America doesn’t tolerate traitors, and if anything Democrats said about Trump is true, surely he would be Jailed in Guantanamo Bay by now.

    Total lack of consequences = evidence of innocence, so anything you say against Trump is hand-waved away because if anything was wrong/bad it wouldn’t be allowed.

    This logic made Trump untouchable so far.




  • Third parties in the US are almost exclusively tools for siphoning votes off the main parties.

    But if you still think government runs the show you are out to lunch. Corporations have been dictating policy for a long long time in the US, and the laws are only making it easier for corporations to directly own politicians.

    The only one who will change this is if a huge amount of voters organizing and demanding change. Like current levels Republican stochastic terrorism, but for things like healthcare, education, workers rights, consumer rights etc.

    Corporations spend a lot of time and money taking these things away from us, and we’ve been generally watching the middle class disappear for decades.

    It will take sustained, active, pressure, and vigilance from the people to make corporate money is not worth it and politicians make decisions based on benefitting their constituents.

    Unfortunately, nowadays most constituents only care about making life difficult for others instead of better for everyone including themselves.
