  • I still think it's bad branding. A Democratic Socialist is, semantically, a Socialist. It implies that the social safety nets and limits on capitalism are intended as a stepping stone to full socialism, which I think most Americans don't want. If that isn't the intention, all the more reason to use a different branding. "Social Democrat" would not have the same connotation. It seems like the label has been worn proudly, especially by Bernie Sanders, for so long that it's been accepted as the right label, but IMO it was a regrettable choice which makes it unnecessarily hard for the left to gain mainstream support.

  • Y'all making fun of this guy, but the fact is I've encountered several guys who turned out to be gay. And I don't have a beard.

    Coincidence?

  • 100% tariffs. When you import one person you have to give them one person. So it's best to be pregnant so you'll make another person to give to the state.

  • People are all ACAB but when you hear about the horrors these cops have to face, it makes you think. Could you handle the smell of onions and mustard? Would it make you hungry? What if there were no donuts in the area?

  • "I don't know who he is," Trump cut in, but, “I know he got a four-month sentence or something like that, and I heard it was a Biden witch hunt.”

    lol, can't even pick one line of bullshit and stick with it

  • give the sniper a clear shot

  • Damn, this was me playing BOTW whenever I'm feeling the pressure in a fight.

  • Also it's way too close to that window considering the relative height. Everyone in the garden is going to get to watch you wipe your ass

  • I don't think it will take long either. When you look at all the grifts the American evangelists pull, and people fall for it every time, then you've got all these people thinking that Trump is anointed by God or some such crap. No problem at all in selling these idiots the idea that they have an instant always-on hotline to God via God's Chosen LLM. Then you've got them locked in to whatever psychosis you choose to construct for them.

  • The artwork is called "Unfortunate walk". Doesn't say who it's going to be unfortunate for, but my feeling is you don't want to fuck with gnomes. I think it's the hats. That's not a hat you'd wear if you felt like you had anything to fear.

  • You can be turned into a whole mushroom farm

  • To be fair it's not just Microsoft doing that. I was looking at gym equipment the other day and some idiots were trying to sell a fucking home gym with AI. Everyone wants to sell it, nobody wants to buy it.

  • What I'm saying is that Trump has the right set of ingredients to win the support of these morons, and while his personal "qualities" like privilege, cruelty, racism, malleability and hubris are a part of that, the whole package doesn't work unless he can deliver the right kind of speech, which gives the fascists what they want. The dumbest of them find validation in the idiocy of Trump's words. For a movement which rejects good faith discourse entirely, the endless lies, the self-aggrandizement, the dogwhistles are all what they want to hear. The incoherent rambling delivery is just perfect for avoiding any accountability. It's all the more appealing because honest people find it infuriating, and it degrades every person and institution which has to engage with it.

    I don't want to imply any great skill here, it's just the way Trump is, but it happens to be the right play for this game. Which, I agree, is far more an indictment of the game than an accolade for the player.

  • Here's me getting all excited thinking a new Blender tutorial just dropped

  • Depends on how you interpret the word "good". Not in a moral sense obviously, but good as in "effective"? Trump got elected POTUS twice, despite (or because of) being one of the most despicable human beings to ever exist. Not a great orator, and every time I see him speak I want to vomit, but still, objectively I'd have to concede that he did indeed talk a good game.
