I know people who literally worship police. Like, the crying and reaching out to touch the sheriff during a parade type.

The cult is widespread and deeply entrenched.

Interesting thing about Glusencamp-Perez is that she replaced a GOP anti-vaxxer that voted to impeach Trump.

Her 2024 opponent was a Libertarian who had supported Bernie in 2020 but then ran as a Republican.

I was finally finishing my degree after dragging it out a couple extra years because I could afford night classes without taking loans.

It feels absolutely insane to me that I was working a labor job, paying rent, and taking part time classes back then without accruing debt.

It does look like the link and post have been ‘labeled by moderation’ and I don’t see it now. The other link posted in this thread with another perspective seems to still work.

Watched the video and then saw DHS statement.

Flagrant murder.

Our old fridge still works but the icemaker and water dispenser broke and then started to spray outside and leak inside if connected.

But we kept it and put it in the garage and keep beverages in it. Man does it feel opulent to have a garage drink fridge.

Kind of like when I became able to afford paper towels. Pure wealth and extravagance.

So you know the greater context then, of the British in Tibet, at the very least.

The British Empire, whistling innocently.

I suggest all people who voted to raise our premiums by 3 times should have their health insurance taken away.

In a sense that is precisely what is happening. Just with a lot of collateral damage.

I miss when being an audiophile was just using vintage equipment and/or opting for lossless formats over compressed mp3s.

Qinxian made a decision that saved countless lives, much like Arkhipov in the 60s.

The neat thing about Hasan is that his hate machine has to resort to manufacturing controversy about him.

Sadly this fake Toilet Paper USA type stuff tends to provide cover for the heinous shit they actually say, while simultaneously obscuring the crazy things they do with the absurdity.

• American assets,
• lunatic nationalists who happen to side with the US for a variety of reasons,
• more or less reasonable (for politician standards), but still afraid to confront the US in any way.

Category #3 is just as afraid of the lunatic nationalists as defying American interests. This is, from my perspective, why Europe has traditionally had some issues with ultranationalism.

This argument has received responses calling me a Commie, a Tankie, and ‘a would-be enslaver of humanity’ from family, friends, and internet randoms alike.

For me it is that I just… sorta listened to Bill Nye in the 90s about carbon dioxide.

She was booked into the Polk County Jail in Des Moines, Iowa, where she currently lives, in September for allegedly driving with a suspended license

September through November this person was held in jail before ICE showed up.

So you know how there’s the story of the underage girl prostituting herself to a congressperson for money for braces?

Exploitation. That’s how people are intended, nay, expected, to ‘swing it.’

Thanks, though it is a username I have used variously for probably 20+ years.

One of the more interesting polls out of this was whether voters were casting in support of or against a candidate.

86% of Mamdani voters were voting out of support of their candidate.

Half of Cuomo voters were voting against another candidate. (Mamdani.)

Voting against a candidate is a losing strategy.

Switched everything to Bazzite as a start. Easiest switch after figuring out Windows sabotages boot drives.

I may have pirated all my Windows but man it feels good to be off that ride. Spoofing corporate licenses for the authenticator was such a hassle.
