  • Oh, you have no idea!If that synopsis bit is all you read of it... I'm not gonna agree that it is a good book like the other user.

    It reeks of performative fan fiction cause it like literally is. It is no worse "white women creaming her pants at her own somewhat problematic dreams" than most of the other books in the YA dystopia category but boy howdy this is rough and the fact that the author was literally a Texas English teacher and writes leftist "journalism" showed hard. It literally quotes better nonfiction books to you.

    Sorry. Had to put that somewhere.

  • English teacher by day, Maddie Ryan spends her nights and weekends as the rhythm guitarist of Bunny Bloodlust, a queer punk band living in a warehouse-turned-venue called “The Lab” in Houston’s Eighth Ward. When Maddie learns that the Eighth Ward is to be sacrificed for a new electromagnetic hyperway out to the wealthy, white suburbs, she joins “Save the Eighth,” a Black-led organizing movement fighting for the neighborhood. At first, she’s only focused on keeping her band together and getting closer to Red, their reckless and enigmatic lead guitarist. But working with Save the Eighth forces Maddie to reckon with the harm she has already done to the neighborhood—both as a resident of the gentrifying Lab and as a white teacher in a predominantly Black school.

    Woah woah woah....

    I'm only seeing Sad Boy™ there better be Abs Boy™ in this here dystopia.

  • I mean if it saves her from our version of the Nuremberg trials cause she says that she wasnt involved and then can get elected after they are gone acting as a standard fiscal and racially conservative Republican she could be a major member of the party for decades like McCain.

    It really might pay dividends to be rembered as crazy and cowardly than a fascist pedophile protector.

  • Well MTG did at least call MAGA a lie to enrich the wealthy. So at least there is that heavy enough turn.

    You are right to think she doesnt necessarily want her own demons said which is why everyone in Washington has blackmail on them to keep in line but also, since she read the files, MTG might just not want to speak out cause she knows what Trump does to women considering the bodies allegedly in his wake.

    Save me Sad Boy™, Abs Boy™ and Unique Normal Girl™!

  • I mean she has always been a grifter but she's poor and thought she had an in with the GOP to enrich herself like many in both parties have done before and still.

    Now the interesting thing is that she's moving to this side of the argument. She is basically a "fair weather" grifter, so it says something that she thinks the wind is blowing this way.

    Also, wild that she listens to her constituents more than Harris proved to. So weird second check mark for the racist bigot. Man people sure aren't easy to single categorize when they aren't Trump.

  • Yeah its a shame the american system incentivizes people to accept corruption u til they can build a financial safety net for the self to replace a social one to be able to speak out about issues they see within their workspace.

    It basically makes everyone dirty and treats them like they are untrustworthy and double standarding just because they "now" choose to speak out minimizing some of the very real issues.

  • Truly some amazing musicians, could complain about his mom dancing with his best friend to a song about depression and not miss a single note.

  • The problem is that the hardware for AI and consumers are very different. And instead of manufacturers spinning up new production of these different components they actually took apart and retooled existing consumer production lines to make these AI computer components.

    There will be a lull of having to retool and go back to producing consumer grade and they might just not bother if they think everyone is to poor to purchase them and lean on exclusivity to keep prices high for a while after.

  • The Wrecks

    Currently love their pushback on anti empathy in the most punk way.They have a song Sonder and Soapbox that are great when you are feeling like you are stuck with people who don't care.

    They perform great live.

  • Gotta punish the peasants for daring to look into the private life of the pedophiles.

    Have you considered how you use the internet and don't spend enough money to be a greater sin? You should.

  • My mom was a drunk and would be unreliable for food and the stuff she made was often bad so if I wanted to eat I needed to figure something out. My first real cooking experience was trying to impress her with a nice meal and it worked. The monster liked me, and food was a great answer for making a bad situation better.

    After that it has been... Whatever works. I talk to people about their tricks and try cuisine I might not otherwise like cause it is good to know. Get cookbooks and watch cooking shows sure but also exploring the concepts behind how and why. I chose to learn basics. Why something turns out the way it does from the way you cook it (poached, baked, broiled, fried) and then add to it and adjust.

    Humans are great puzzle solvers and cooking is a personal puzzle for what tastes good and what you have to work with. Get the basics down and then be ok with mistakes.

  • Shit, that's neat.

  • But then it is easier to hate... Why do we have to make it so complicated by acknowledging it isn't so simple?

    Everyone else is just 100% morally wrong unlike me. 。°(°¯᷄◠¯᷅°)°。

  • You are working backwards to find the answer you want to just simplify people into being as bad as you want them to be.

    Don't just take the easy lazy logic or you will dirty yourself too into looking as racist and misogynistic yourself by saying those words aloud for others.

  • We have 2 years to find a candidate who doesnt try to fix systemic and financial issues with changing social structures.

  • Money. He brags about he is good at getting it like he was a fiscal conservative.

  • No, its that people like you that don't want to know anything else still are hearing about a fraction of the efforts.The fact that despite your best efforts of being ignorant you, and people like you are being clued into the conversation even if just to try to troll it down means it is at least reaching the basement dwellers. And that implies a pretty long reach.
