If you don't like protests because they can turn violent and destroy property, boy howdy have I got some news for you about the police

It is very funny that Xers built an entire generational identity around contempt for anyone who isn't aggressively apathetic, only to turn around and pout about being ignored. We did what y'all asked us to do and left you alone.

Some people have criticisms of the administration torturing children but under a 5-4 Supreme Court decision written by Justice Alito it is technically not a federal crime, so to preserve accuracy and neutrality, we will not be calling it a crime against humanity. Tomorrow in the New York Times.

We’re not all “in the same boat.”

We are in the same storm.

And some people are on driftwood rafts and dinghys, and some are in superyachts and aircraft carriers, and some of us are in everything in between.

Discord you really do not wanna be going down this road, dude. Your community's good faith has been dwindling for a long while now, and there are plenty of other video calling/messaging platforms that could easily swipe up your spot in a day. It's not too late to pull back bro

OK, gonna throw this spicy bomb out there.

If you're fortunate enough to have disposable income, then right now it is your duty to use that income wisely. You have agency over how you spend it and you should own how you spend it.

Your decisions do, in fact, affect stock prices of big corporations.

I miss the cd compilations of shareware I'd buy for, like, 5 bucks from the computer store

THEY'RE SO GOOD THO

All I'm saying is, if you ran a campaign on democracy being at stake and democracy lost, isn't it time to be massively freaking out instead of doing this

They're even building a system to make the government drive itself! (straight off the cliff)

seconding these, and not *only* because I'm in them

Whatever it is, I hope it happens sooner rather than later. I wasn't expecting the lead up to be so simultaneously terrifying and boring

Each and every person who normalized the idea that this is a "public square" and therefore all people have an open invitation to be an ass in the replies of strangers clearly never learned how to respect anyone but themselves.

Oh shit that's a good point! My brother and I did that accidentally :V

Just to remind everyone, Mussolini did not actually make the trains run on time. He made it criminal to criticize the functioning of the trains. Among other things.

Youtube has the whole thing in four parts. It's worth watching the whole thing. youtu.be/EpTSO8J0Xwc?...

This is an extremely funny way to interpret a study that says that the more people know about AI, the less they like it. "How do we make AI seem more mystical and magical so they don't understand how their slop sausage is made?"
