/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • The ~1 million Venezuelans already in the US are the reason that it is attempting to deport and terrorize as many as possible. Ethnic cleansing is actually part of the neo-Monroe doctrine, they need to get the immigrants from the neocolonies out of the imperial core to recreate that geographic and cultural distance. These feed into each other too, because a war would also be used as justification for deportations and internement camps - and resistance to deportations and internement camps would be used as justification for war.

  • The next time you see two women running out the GapWith arms full of clothes still strapped to the rackOnce they jump in the car, hit the gas and scatIf you have to say something, just stand and clap

  • Social democracy isn't just capitalists being smart, it's capitalists bribing the workers by redistributing the superprofits generated by imperialist growth. It is smart to get worker buy-in to capitalism by giving them a cut of the growth, but fascism doesn't occur just because capitalists suddenly become too stupid to do social democracy. It occurs when the superprofits decline and the empire has to turn inward to sustain growth. The social democratic ideological superstructure remains, but the superexploitation comes home.

  • Absolutely, but cheaper now is all that matters to the Dunning-Kruger c-suit that runs every business. Besides, they might have already moved on to a different company by the time it becomes a problem, so why should they care?

  • Go vegan

    跳过
  • I'm vegan specifically because the flesh trade involves exploitation of human workers. Killing those day old male baby chicks has a psychological toll on the humans that are forced to do it for their paycheck.

  • If it's cheaper this financial quarter then they don't care if they have to pay for it the next financial quarter. That's a future problem!

  • It doesn't have to be better, just cheaper.

  • I've actually heard that PC literacy is declining because young people don't have PCs, they just have tablets and smart phones.

  • I didn't really notice until I started prog

    AND THEN-!

  • Yeah, the "the good king and his wicked advisers" thing dates back at least to the peasant uprisings in 1381, predating the Russian empire by hundreds of years.

  • That's Scalia's interpretation, but that's not how it was always interpreted. Why do you think they were able to ban machine guns in the first place, and then have it upheld by the Courts for going-on 100 years? It was believed that a "well regulated militia" should refer to actual militias, not just "any random asshole that can afford a gun". That was the common interpretation for a century.

    That's the trick - it can be interpreted however we want. It's all made up. It used to mean one thing, then it meant something else.

    So, the question is, why did the interpretation change? Did Scalia just really love freedom? Or was there, maybe, another agenda?

  • Me Lord is just and righteous, it's his advisers that are to blame!

  • Make every kWh above the average power draw have a higher cost and it increases further with every additional kWh.

  • You're right, I was exaggerating. There are some extremely loose, weak gun controls that mean every 11 year old isn't able to buy a machine gun. This is included in the amendment, the "well regulated militia" part, it's basically the only reason there are any gun control laws at all. Even so, the laws that do exist are very loose compared to any other English speaking country.

    But why? The "well regulated militia" part could have been interpreted to say that you have to join a militia to own a gun, or that you have to pass rigorous tests and renew your license and undergo home inspections, or make gun auctions illegal so that every gun owner can be registered and tracked. That would all have been perfectly in-line with the 2nd Amendment.

    We didn't do that. The question is, why?

  • They've already been chiseling away at all of the Bill of Rights for decades, yet for some reason they don't touch guns. Why is that?

  • Should it be lavma or magva?

  • That doesn't seem the same.

    It'd be more like having a different name for ice when it's underwater and when it's above water.

  • Daiya is okay, but it reminds me more of Parmesan than cheddar

  • With egg substitutes, plant milks, and nooch it isn't even hard at this point.

    The cheese substitutes haven't quite caught up yet, but some of them are still pretty good.

    I miss being to buy whatever spicy snacks I want, though. They all have milk solids. 💢
