Feels like this might be the time for a coalition to run as “the freedom party” and basically run on the platform of Bernie but use completely different language. There have been studies showing that most gop voters agree with dem policies when they’re not presented using the buzzwords they’ve been brain washed to immediately reject (eg ACA vs Obamacare).

All the low info idiots voting against their own interests would hear policies they like, and they can jerk off to the word “freedom”.

The SCOTUS justices who voted to make the president a king should’ve been dropped in a black site immediately upon that decision coming out, but Biden didn’t have the fortitude or vision to protect the country from fascism.

At least kissinger finally kicked it

Wasn’t the patriot act only opposed by like 1 senator? Our govt has long either supported or sympathized with authoritarians

Works for me

Hope Ljdawson comes back tho

And now the “environmental protection agency” is about extracting profit at the expense of the environment

If only it wasn’t asset flip jank

It’s cool watching people of different skill levels than you, not just the pros I think. Also when people take on challenges that take a long time, you can kind of skip through the vid at your leisure.

Plus sometimes you just don’t have the energy to game. It’s like Matt Groening said in that old Life is Hell comic (although about tv): Why is tv the best pal of all? When you’re tired, tv does the playing for you.

When I was 13 I thought “You go Holden! Tell off all those phonies!” At 18 I thought “This whiny asshole won’t stfu.” Then as an adult I realized “Oh, poor kid was dealing with a lot of unaddressed trauma.”

I personally have the opposite issue. Things often sound way too much like satire these days when they get referenced or pop up in memes, then I find a reputable article talking about it. Everything sounds like !nottheonion@lemmy.world

A trove of leaked internal messages and documents from the militia American Patriots Three Percent—also known as AP3—reveals how the group coordinated with election denial groups as part of a plan to conduct paramilitary surveillance of ballot boxes during the midterm elections in 2022.

You mean those nutjobs that showed up to stand around ballot boxes with rifles weren’t all acting alone?

Only applies to beer ads AFAIK.

Are we sure it’s counting 1.5 M users and not 1.5 M memes posted by picard, pug, and squid?

We did have a guy who intentionally changed a bunch of the spelling, you are right about that.

But one day if we are brave we’ll get rid of the u in a lot of British words like color and armor. But by god we will keep the British u in the word glamour!

Socks is feet out? Wouldn’t that also mean t-shirt is shirtless?

I never do random drive by grammar replies, but since you put it in your edit: affect is a verb and effect is a noun usually but the way you used it needs the verb form of effect, meaning “to bring something into being/existence”. So essentially you’re saying it’s difficult to create change in the two parties.

Note that affect can also be a noun (and is pronounced differently than the verb, with the emphasis on the first syllable), referring to someone’s demeanor. You normally see it when talking about psychology.

China did that to me too, except I didn’t miss my flight. After getting off the plane they made us go through immigration and when they asked how long I was staying I said about 3 hours. Stamped my passport with a 1 day visa haha

Not to be confused with sweetbread (pancreas)

In some states you can buy booze pretty much anywhere. I moved out of the country for awhile and when I went back home I stopped into an ice cream shop slash convenience store, and when I was surprised to see the 6 coolers of beer along the back wall I realized I’d been gone a long time.
