Unit of measure confusion is sometimes good comedy?

killea@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Senators Warn Trump Administration Is Developing Secret Watchlist of Americans61·10 days agoI’ve been party to a few of these exchanges recently, and between open citizen violence and letting things go on as they are, I think I am now rooting for our society to just collapse under its own weight. And with enough mismanagement, it certainly will (already is). While that will produce a great deal of suffering, at least it could provide a chance to fix some things.
killea@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•She posted about Charlie Kirk's death. Within eight hours, she was fired28·10 days agoThat article didn’t seem to want me to know what the meme he posted was. Think it was this: here
I mean, you can be arrested for breathing, being black on a Friday night, anything. Though I have historically heard that cops are to be avoided at all costs in the south.

I imagine that many sane and aware citizens have pondered doing the violence on some level, but probably conclude it’s ultimately ineffective; though I haven’t seen any fed thugs in my area, I can’t say I wouldn’t attempt to defend a proximal bystander with lethal force. We’re separated, distracted, divided, and surveilled so cutting off all of the heads of the snake is kinda tough.
killea@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•ICE Pins Chicago TV News Producer to the Ground, Hauls Her Off in Unmarked Van | Common Dreams316·11 days agoDrump will then attempt to deploy the military nationwide, he’s waiting for that. If there isn’t a military coup at that point, it ain’t happening.
killea@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats6·12 days agoJust them being more transparent than ever, as its the style these days. Additional corrections include Jack Posobiec being a longstanding outspoken racist. And they go on to quote his drivel. These organizations get paid to propagandize, sanitize, and force narratives, and it’s never been more obvious. But it’s getting expensive! And it is all soon to be under the same umbrella of Paramount state-sponsored slop or someother.

killea@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Tensions flare between law enforcement, protesters at Broadview ICE facility; several arrested6·18 days agoThe Constitution and the Bill of Rights are null and void. All personal liberties and rights have been revoked. Even the most woke (proper usage) are not sure what we can do.

killea@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.44·1 month agoThey’ve investigated themselves, and found themselves to be guilty. So they shut that whole thing down.
killea@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Senate confirms 48 of Trump’s nominees at once after changing the chamber’s rules632·1 month agoI wanted to reply to numerous comments, but I’ll just do it here. The people aggrieved that democrats/liberals/the left didn’t do more are not wrong for being upset, even very upset. Things are generally better for everyone, in recent history, under left-side leadership. But our representatives have been beset by corporate capture since the 80s/90s so by my estimation politics has been a performative art for my entire lifetime. Still anyone with their head above water knows you’ve got better quality of life under democrats, even if they are deceptive or corrupt.
The system needs replacement. It has been captured whole by multi-national industry, corporations, investment interests, and billionaires. It is currently being bent and corrupted to the point of no return. Even if democrats work for us, they only give us so much before bending for their donor money. I’ve always had this vague notion that for even the best intentioned, there’s only so far you can climb the ladder of politics before you refuse a bribe, or lobbying money, and they just boot your ass. Or blacklist you, or whatever, you just get locked out. I dunno how to end this, except to say that the whole world needs a massive paradigm shift, and it just doesn’t look like we gettin it.

I think the reply to the top comment says "if you don’t support our cultural genocide movement you’re a white supremacist. In general I have just stopped rooting for the human species.
killea@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Time has somehow stopped, but you can move. What do you do?4·1 month agoAlright so I can do aforementioned things, read books, build a cabin in the middle of nowhere, etc. And I was thinking about what Zathras said, if I could drive I could probably weave around people without incident. It just occurs to me what might happen if time started moving forward meanwhile. Also dependent on that factor, the political and social ramifications, oh my. Easy Luigi mode, if I were so inclined. I’ve seen time travel depicted so many different ways and with so many different rules so its made me particular.
killea@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Time has somehow stopped, but you can move. What do you do?29·1 month agoLol probably freeze to death. Photons stop moving, molecules stop vibrating. Electronic devices probably don’t function/respond. So I could sleep (forever), no video games/tv/movies. Time travel trips me up; like I could walk around, but would time stopping fuck with the cohesion of matter/reality etc? Think you need a few more preconditions for this poll.
Gotta be a managed process, though. A lot of what they do IS superfluous. But there will be some services or industries they “own” so we’ll have to account for and redistribute that.
