I think I’ve just found the perfect GIF for the AI-pilled.

Late 40s. Left Reddit after it became clear what they had become; joined Lemmy to ask an obscure question about Selenium.

I daily drive FreeBSD and have tinkered with Plan 9 and Haiku.

My Linux desktop (for gaming, DRM, and Linux-specific stuff), my wife’s laptop, the kids’ laptops, and our two media PCs all run Mint. It’s great.

You just end up making Juggalos a terrorist organization.

It’s all upside then!

I too came to “Comic Strips” for fair, sober, straight-laced sociology.

I’m aware that this is Epstein, not Trump.

But when you have a credible victim accusing two men (who were close friends) of the same crime, and one (or at least, the estate of one) promptly settles … you have to look a bit askance at the other.

Trans rights are a niche issue, in that only a very small percentage of people are trans themselves. But that’s what makes trans rights a vital litmus test for politicians.

Will they uphold the human rights of a group of people whose votes they don’t need in order to win?

Not only would I be okay with that, I’d hope they then replaced all my avatar images online with that photo.

Or it was retrospective.

“Frank what the fuck have you been doing while I was away visiting my family?”

“Um, er, ah, dodging the draft! Yeah, that’s it. Certainly not a month long bender.”

Dumbfucks will always dumbfuck. Trick is to get the voters who stayed home. The numbers I found with a quick search …

Trump won 49.8% of the popular vote.

Of the 65.3% of the eligible voters who voted.

Which means actually only 32.5% of Americans voted for him, in the sense of “could be arsed to get off the couch and cast a ballot”.

That’s an encouraging number to work with.

Oh is this one of Mr. Bonesaw’s ventures, or a different thing?

As a Rand and Mises loving capitalist myself, I’ve always thought the domino effect theory is all kinds of stupid, and could be seen as an admission of weakness by capitalist countries, & by capitalist philosophers and economists.

Economic theory[1] suggests that a Communist country will fail economically - and that’s in the best case where Communism has very strong popular support. Probably what will happen - and indeed what has happened every place it’s tried - is some combination of economic failure, gulags, famine, mass murder, and eventual abandonment of Communism. Furthermore, intervention will give failing Communist regimes an excuse for their failures.

So why intervene? Intervention / war is not in the interests of the US or her allies; it’s just another form of colonialism; it’s very expensive; and if the US is right about the evils of Communism[2], the world will pretty quickly see how poorly it performs.

The answer of course is cronyism and corporatism 🤮

[1] The ones I agree with, anyhow 😉

[2] And I think it is.

That’s not true!

Hey human doms I’m 100% okay with, it’s these things I’m worried about

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa

… maybe?

With the disclaimer that I’m not at all sad that Khomeini was a casualty, Trump’s illegal war against Iran is set to provoke some real attacks in, probably, quite short order.
