I’ve noticed a lot of people are the “sit back and watch your neighbors be executed and sent to camps” crowd.

Unfortunately there’s also a lot in the “I would but not alone” crowd.

It’s why left-wing organized groups get alphabetted at the drop of a hat.

Heck, I have about 10 phones in my own house, there’s about 20-25 at my in-laws.

Me because I keep old gadgets

In-laws because they have 8 children, and instead of the trash they just toss old phones into a box for anyone who breaks the new one.

Don’t feel bad, it took until “valley” for me to realize, and those movies were my jam as a child.

Pffffft

The Voth are pushovers, I can destroy one of their city ships with a Miranda Class.

Oh what’s with the 15 other ships flying around the area? Don’t mind them. Just my bros. Totally solo’d. Mhmm.

Man, what is it with Sci fi and having futuristic tech from Dino-descendants.

I’m not complaining, I want more.

no Democrat is likely to do that

Honestly this is what pisses me off.

When an opponent who literally wants you or yours dead hands you a gun, shoot them with it. Because if you don’t shoot, they will.

Republicans have handed democrats so many tools over the years they could easily wield against Republicans… But they don’t.

They take the “high road.”

The Moral High Road is Filled With Corpses.

At this point I’m convinced Hungary could outright launch a military assault on one of its neighbors and the EU as a whole would just say “no” and wag their fingers at the problem.

I’m sure the various heads of state would also take the situations into consideration as they are deeply concerned

Is it just me or does every government all over the world just drag its feet when it comes to opposing blatant fascism and bad-faith actors?

My mother keeps sending stuff over Facebook, my sister keeps inviting me to supposedly important events over Facebook, my work wants me to use twitter, and my brother in law keeps sending tiktock videos.

I remind all of them that I don’t use social media, and my Facebook account is only up for the 2 times a year I need it to get ahold of otherwise-unreachable people. If you want something, send me a text or email and be direct.

some suggest that herders need to start acquiring private land and operating like other businesses

Yes, why don’t these poor farmers who have nowhere else to go simply BUY large plots of land?

Let them eat cake.

Oil companies and the ICE manufacturers that rely on them.

Changing production lines to EVs is expensive, and they want profits now. Not later. Line must go UP

My hope: increased costs make people demand domestic manufacturing, companies and governments actually listen and decide import costs aren’t worth it and move all manufacturing back inside their own borders.

Politicians like to bullshit about “job creation” all day, but this, massively expanding domestic manufacturing capabilities, would create more jobs than any program put out since WWII.

Put another zero behind the number and then it’s a start.

Here’s a crazy idea: no PERSON is involved in cutting off the mic.

They’re on timers.

X you have 45 seconds to answer. timer clicks down and auto shuts off

Boom.

Nobody has to worry about biased moderation because they wouldn’t let cheeto ramble weirdly for ten minutes.

And more importantly we won’t have to deal with a fucking child doing the "I STILL TALKING AND LOUDER SO MY POINT IS BEST LALALALA I CAN’T HEAR YOU* on stage while 30% of the country cheers.

Can I get the N2 delivery system? you don’t have to worry about installing anything, just keep breathing and you won’t even notice the installation.

Yes, that is part of the joke.

My grandparents didn’t even update their will when my sister and I were born.

Still illegal in many places in the US. I just happen to live in a state that is legal.

Since I’m close to a state border, I only need to drive about 20 minutes to be somewhere it’s illegal again.

And if you live in an “at will” state, they can just fire you even if it’s legal.

Sidenote: “at will” employment is the biggest sack of bullshit that employers convinced people is totally normal.

Im hopeful that the US, EU, and UK legalize it within the next few years. I’m realistic about the chances, I know how the older generations of politicians are, but I still cross my fingers.

Well if we are, there isn’t a thing anyone could ever do about it, so… shrug

How do you think they got the stone on the end of a stick

For a long time, they didn’t.

Hand stone tools predate everything except sharpened sticks as spears.

Without the Olduvai tools, we have no civilization.

I would bet that you’re all guys

Weirdly sexist take…

Every time I get downvoted, I move an inch closer to the exit door of this community.

Lol OK bye.

Nobody gives a shit and complaining about down votes is the quickest way to get them.

Guess what! Outside of a few custom instances that for some reason want to be reddit, the fediverse doesn’t track your total karma.

Unless you’re going back to keep track of your comments for some weird reason, the only time you see a down voted comment is when you get replies.

I could have hundreds of net down votes by now, but I don’t know because luckily my instance doesn’t track votes.

The point is, it’s a little number next to an arrow. Who gives a shit.
