All viable politics is harm reduction.

So I guess that means Trump must have had a secret earpiece. Or maybe a vibrating butt plug.

Too many tourists just means you need to raise hotel prices. Locals don’t pay for hotels.

This shit has been the same cycle for literally centuries. When times are good, locals hate tourism. When times are bad, the locals wonder where all the tourists money went.

In these “tourist economy” areas it’s easy to miss the fact that even if you don’t directly work in the tourist industry, there’s a ton of infrastructure and services which get propped up by that industry. I’ve been on both sides of this, as a local and a tourist, and most of the whining is privileged elitism. Every local knows how to avoid tourists, and every local has also been frustrated by something being closed in the off season. Connect those dots and stop complaining.

In most cases if you are a tourist and are accused of minor crimes you just get deported unless you’ve done something else more serious. Detaining someone on a short term visa is awkward (what if their passport expires while in custody?) and kicking them out of the country accomplishes the same thing as jailing them.

There’s a reason why countries with proper transit infrastructure view alcoholism as a novelty.

Don’t respond if it is mostly “Blue MAGA” and “Genocide Joe”

It could also be instance admins fucking around.

You should out the users and topics they are engaging with.

Any time you hear someone openly supporting Trump at work, make an anonymous report to HR. Make it everyone’s problem.

I have seen anime boobs in real life

Idk, those anime titties are kind of sus looking.

The biggest miss at the debate was Harris not reminding everyone how Trump was bullying the fed chair on Twitter when everyone said it was time to start raising interest rates.

In general, the distinction between populism and technocracy needs to be front and center. This is a very easy example.

Some of them are also “goldfish voters.” These people only engage with whatever political message has been delivered to them most recently. They literally can go from D to R and back again bumper sticker to bumper sticker.

Then there are the obligate ego independents. Their only political belief is that they must vote for both parties some of the time. If they voted D last time then they will probably vote R this time. Because their identity is “independent” so they must manifest that, all reason be damned.

Election 2024: High five vs kick in the nuts

This. I don’t know why people have such a hard time with the idea of sticking to curated spaces when they are at work or in public.

Maybe stick to Instagram

The internet is NSFW. Tags can’t fix stupid.
