  • You don't have a son named Roger, do you?

  • Crazy idea:

    Start a right wing punk band

    Exclusively write songs about how capitalism and that status quo are great

    Charge thousands of dollars for albums, tens of thousands for tickets

    Make millions of dollars off rich chuds

    Use those millions to fight the status quo

  • My conspiracy theory is that all the antisemetic theories, insane-sounding theories, theories that have no attachment to reality, rothschilds etc, are not perpetuated by ordinary people (though they unwittingly participate). They are perpetuated by the very parties the conspiracies are about.

    Isn't there evidence that Epstein himself met with moot to kick off Pizzagate?

  • If you plan to DM any homebrew, you should definitely watch it. The "lotta hydra meat that's going to waste" aspect is a driving force, but the major theme is exploring the dungeon as an ecosystem; its flora, fauna, structure, everything.

    It's like Julia Child meets Anthony Bourdain meets Steve Irwin meets David Attenborough meets Brennan Lee Mulligan. If you enjoy thinking about dungeon design at all, you will enjoy this show.

  • Today of all days 🫡

  • Funny enough, a big tree fell on my property a little while back and I wanted to mulch it all for the garden, so I did some research. I was mostly looking at rentals, which were about $500/day for the ones that could handle thick branches.

    I wanna say buying was like 10× that for the cheaper ones, but that was for the smaller models more suitable for middle sized branches, but then I would've had to use a chainsaw to break up the thicker chunks.

    I wound up cutting it into logs and they're still sitting there, I should probably look into it again and actually get around to it.

  • The only time I ever hear about President's Day is advertisements for President's Day sales.

  • No more presidents requires either 1) enough representation to call a Constitutional convention to change Art. II 2) enough grassroots support to circumvent the Constitution entirely. My aversion to power vacuums and general assessment of the populace pushes me towards 1, but in either case you're right that it won't be easy. And in either case it will be slooow. Part of that is going to have to be supporting Dems as the lesser evil when their support dwarfs that of the radical change makers, to practically minimize opposition to radical change.

    2 years is, unfortunately, a small period of time on the scale we're talking about. There may be methods to sway a plurality of voters, but until we reliably secure those methods, voting for someone who stomachs a little genocide might be the best choice against an alternative that yearns for a lot of genocide. I didn't vote for Biden or Harris because I liked them. I did it because the alternative which was poised to win was much more enthusiastic on that front. When you're in the minority, you don't vote for who you wish would represent you, you vote for the easier enemy to fight.

    It won't be easy, but the easiest path has the shortest obstacles.

  • Very fun idea, I'd like that. Counterpoint: how do we accomplish that?

  • It's getting to the point that if I'm not on this administration's list of domestic terrorists. I would wonder where I went wrong in life.

  • Is this a linear algebra joke?

  • But it won't matter until the election. I'm all for this death, but I'd prefer it be after a blue wave that claims the Speaker of the House, with the ability to impeach Vance.

  • A power vacuum might make them implode on themselves.

    "Might" being the operative word, and I don't wanna roll those dice when line of succession is established. The cult only matters during the election. Handing the reins over to someone who shows no sign of breaking from the manipulators, but is much less likely to fuck it up by being a narcissistic geriatric idiot, seems unwise.

    If you're banking on disrupting the cult, the strategic time would be late in a (blatantly unconstitutional, yet inevitable) 2028 run. They already have the power now and, again, line of succession is predetermined. If Trump dies in office, there's no clamoring for the presidency, it's Vance. He's no mastermind, but he's not a doddering old fool. He'll faithfully enact the will of his handlers without gaffes and senior moments.

    If there's gonna be a fascist puppet running the country, I'd rather it be a bumbling and incompetent one. At least he'll screw up his orders from time to time.

  • I'd rather not. Our saving grace in this Project 2025 bullshit is Trump being a clueless clown. I do not want someone even moderately more competent or less dementia-addled taking his place.

    Best case scenario: massive blue wave in the House, Trump dies, Vance is impeached, Democratic SotH takes over. Anything less than that, and we've got another MAGA puppet who makes fewer mistakes.

  • Based on my interactions, I think the delusional/pedophilic demographic is far outweighed by those who are simply deeply ignorant (no comment on racism).

    It's not that they're ignoring the evidence about him, or even support him in spite of it (though that definitely happens too). They live in a bubble where they just never see any negative news about him. Their news sources either ignore those stories entirely, or spin them beyond all recognition. Whenever something negative gets too big, they're told it's fake news, or that the Democrats are doing it even worse.

  • Cleanup was too much for me. Didn't regret the purchase, but I don't have it anymore.

  • I'm generally pretty good at figuring out what I will and won't like when ordering from a restaurant. The only reason I wouldn't finish something I ordered is if I physically cannot force myself to swallow it. If it comes to that, and my wife doesn't like it either, into the compost it goes.
