“We are literally turning into a nazi country”

“Chin up kiddo, it probably won’t be that bad!”

I am 4 real

I’m convinced people who can’t tell when a chat bot is hallucinating are also bad at telling whether something else they’re reading is true or not. What online are you reading that you’re not fact checking anyway? If you’re writing a report you don’t pull the first fact you find and call it good, you need to find a couple citations for it. If you’re writing code, you don’t just write the program and assume it’s correct, you test it. It’s just a tool and I think most people are coping because they’re bad at using it

“You’re not allowed to say anything these days! Next they’ll come for me!”

Bro if what they’re saying about rapists and harassers means they’ll come for you then you are a bad person and they should come for you. But probably also you’re just victim complexing and nobody is going to accuse of anything other than being an annoying ass

Not exactly a jump scare, it’s more of a drama trope; I hate the cliche of casual moments in a car and then they get t boned, sets me on edge in every car scene with dialog

64 billion so far

This is a good thing that Biden did and Trump will get credit for.

Or a vote of retention like Colorado does. Governor appoints the judges but voters must retain them or new judges must be appointed. Kind of strikes a balance between overtly campaigning judges and more democratic influence on the judiciary

Oh yeah? Name ONE ape that wrote Shakespeare. Go on I’ll wait

Thanks I hate it

Comedy has become an act of airing social grievances (maybe always has been but definitely amplified these days) and thus peoples inherently political social grievances are going to sort them into their respective camps.

If the problems you’re facing and exposing are “the big man is keeping me down” you’re gonna find solidarity in that message and if your problems are “those people are gross and I don’t like them” only other people who have similar obsession with ordering society into groups of chosen people vs undesirables will respond to your message.

Right. The question is less how do we move past trump and more how do we contend with half our population seriously lacking critical thinking skills? We have a crisis on our hands and it isn’t (just) fascism, it’s an inability to correctly process the information of the world around us.

Corporations aren’t people, they don’t have deadnames or pronouns. Fire away

Also applies to misogyny in general. You can call out terfs (or just regular anti trans conservative women) for being bigoted shit faces without resorting to gendered attacks.

I realize cunt has a different level of salaciousness in UK than US but it is a little ironic that an insult referencing female genitalia (and in my opinion is inherently based in misogyny) has been used to show sexual harassment against a man because it was prepended with a traditionally masculine trait.

Most companies have software to identify what you’ve copied to an external drive as well.

Don’t bcc your personal email, the internal mail servers can see everything even if the recipients don’t. Better to just screencap when possible.

Idaho looks at those lists for the worst state in the union and say “we gotta pump those numbers up”
