Remember how good the economy was in the 50’s and 60’s? Wanna guess what the tax rate on the wealthy was? It was 91%. This was the “golden age of American capitalism”, and that tax revenue kicked off a slew of public works projects that boosted the economy.

I mean, using “female” to refer to another human is pretty demeaning imo, though stifling discussion isn’t a good look. I can’t imagine the “discussion” around this was super productive though, knowing Reddit.

Let us never forget the words of Lindsey Graham, of all people

"If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed ... and we will deserve it."

OP wouldn’t need it because their point is to say that the lander was just made from household items and staged to look like it was on the moon. To them, there’s nothing functional in that photo.

No one said the fediverse doesn’t need it. I’d argue that it does.

Comparing the platforms and making some weird “is it ok to criticize Twitter when Lemi does it the same way” argument is weird.

Elon can turn around say whatever he wants because he owns the comedy club he paid way too much for, and because it’s a free internet, and because he literally doesn’t care about facts or feelings or anything other than being popular to a weird gaggle of trolls. Believe me, if he points at Lemi to say “see? They don’t have blocking and they’re making fun of me” it’s because it bothers his ego and nothing more.

And Twitter needs to have blocking. People have to be able to remove harassment from their social existence there. I assume a number of hateful accounts will/have resurfaced on my feeds with the removal of blocking, thankfully I haven’t used Twitter since he took over and I won’t.

The thing is, it’s usually long enough after his comments have had their impact that these additions are made. It’s really his having/eating cake feature. He can say some out and out false shit, it gets picked up by his base and spread, the community mod a day or two later goes “actually”, and if someone calls him out he can just say “oh but the community mod set things right” if he doesn’t just outright ignore it.

I’m just hooked on dead cells with a smattering of rocket league.

Did start Hyper Light Drifter and looking forward to getting more into it

Well he was a seventh day Adventist who though cumming made Jesus cry and shot yogurt up his ass and commented that “someday black people could learn from whites how to be close approximations of people”, I don’t think science was his strong suit

He just didn’t think pleasure was good in any form - sex, sugar, games, etc.

Water enemas yes, but his favorite was yogurt.

They can read but “K” is the only letter in their alphabet

Bear in mind that in fascism, the only majority is the person at the top. The circle always shrinks as far as it can to make the in group smaller and the our group larger.

All the fascist apologists and deniers who think “well I’ll be safe” don’t understand this and don’t see that the circle will eventually cut them out.

Recycling plastic is more so a lie fed by the plastic manufacturers.

Right - we humans are generally most concerned with what’s “comfortable”. That’s a fun spin on “being able to live”. The earth will be fine with or without us, we’re just doing a good job of shooting for “without”.

The phrasing made me think it was a Some More News reference and I’m pleasantly surprised to have something new to check out - thanks!
