My thumbs hurt just looking at those thumbsticks…

Serbia is mini Russia? I thought that was Belarus.

Apologies, I wasn’t trying to be productive. The time for that was before the election. Swifties, Gen Z, Gen X, Millennials, boomers, women, men, minorities, etc had the chance to stop Project 2025 and we all failed. I think election results show low turnout across all demographics? And now a lot of people are going to be hurt by the Trump/GOP policies of hate…

If they had voted, they wouldn’t have to worry about anything else.

Damn, that already feels like a million years ago. You didn’t have to be a news junkie like me to see that quote and know that Trump lost the only debate the coward showed up to. Literally unfit to lead. Yet people just said “don’t care, want boot!” and voted him in anyway. So embarrassed for my stupid country…

The people that are transphobic are often also misogynists.

Eh, if you want. It’s a rental…

Are you threatening to nuke my home if I don’t!?

What in the actual fuck.

Whataboutism.

Two groups can be bad at the same time.

Prod males represent!

One of the worst human qualities is people who are proven wrong with facts, but their pride is wounded so they lash out and double down. I absolutely can’t stand it…

He’s right, but they don’t have to be! We can protect our children and fellow citizens with popular, common-sense gun reform and legislation supported by the majority of people across all political spectrums. We don’t have to bend over for the NRA (which has been proven to be funded by hostile foreign powers) and extremists. All it takes is courage and action…

In the 90’s!? That would have lasted all of 12 seconds on batteries…

Agreed. Or worse: for documentation!

Man, you should have seen forums at hobby sites, etc in the times before Reddit/Digg…

More like “Cartwright! Your table is ready. Cartwright!”

Monopolies depend on the government to exist.

I won’t bother with the rest, but this is flat-out false. Unregulated capitalism is responsible for unethical practices such as buying out your competitors, price-fixing, waiting-out your competitors (because they can’t match your unrealistically low price), insider-trading, exploiting a captive audience, and only competing in “territories” (you know, like drug dealers).

I can’t speak globally, but all the worst monopolies engaged in at least one of these. The US is far from perfect, but they squashed several giant monopolies because of practices like this. Corporations without guardrails are unrestrained greed.
