No, in my experience people like that just end up trolling me because they have no frame of reference and don’t care about reality. You can’t troll somebody with math if they reject the idea of learning anything about or using math.

Gods I wish I had a top to troll like this

This is exactly why I was railing against some of the earlier protests which featured politicians openly asking protestors to take out their phones and send texts to opt-in for fundraisers. Besides all the obvious bullshit, it put those protestors who didn’t know better at serious risk.

Thankfully, I haven’t seen too much of that at the protests I’ve been to recently, but this is a good reminder that we have to keep educating people to leave their phone at home.

ahhh, the glorious days of TF2 lobbies, where players would have custom sprays that were almost always just porn. How far we’ve…oh wait a minute actually it seems like we’ve made no progress at all.

Nah, I think PC Gamer just doesn’t understand how quickly I can forgive a hot muscle mommy. idc how many demons she’s killed if she can hold me against her abs and punch someone’s skull off for yelling at me

That can’t be a real sign…

Is that seriously what we’re calling it? The official name is Alligator Alcatraz? America is a parody of a real nation.

Y’know how things have mostly gotten worse for the past five years, with most innovation going towards corporate control, and nearly all tech services moving towards enshittification?

Yeah five more years of that.

obviously, I doubt Rutte was expecting this message to be shared. If he wasn’t a complete moron and actually doing this just to stroke his own ego, I’d actually give Donald props for leaking it, as Rutte kissing Donald’s ass makes him look terrible, and more broadly makes the European parts of NATO look terrible.

I imagine Rutte’s intent is to stroke Trump’s ego to try and keep him interested in NATO, but I feel like that’s a fool’s errand. Trump doesn’t give a shit about anyone else but himself. This new agreement, with NATO signatories needing to commit 5% of their GDP, feels like a grift for the benefit of U.S. defense contractors. The U.S. cannot be trusted to actually honor their agreements anymore, so why pay more into their alliance? Is Europe really that scared of further Russian aggression?

I find suicide distasteful and seek glory.

Damn that’s such an insult to Goebbels.

Literally wouldn’t matter, and unfortunately for you this is one of my biggest pet peeves. Framing this battle as the People vs Trump is awful. Trump is a symptom of a larger problem, and until the rot at the heart of the U.S. government is fully cut out, it actually doesn’t matter who is running the circus. If we still have elections in 2028, the race will be against two billionaire-backed candidates. One will champion returning to the liberal status quo that allows fascism to legitimize itself and grow, and the other will be fascism.

If anything, assassinating him now would make him a martyr that would galvanize his base, who are already calling for civil war btw, into action.

Counterpoint: Superman is strong enough that he could raze the system to the ground.

Making the mother of all power vacuums Jack, can’t fret over each billionaire!

Condensing a rant I had on another comm with this question here: fruit belongs with meat. fullstop. Idk why we’re still having this discussion when medieval peasants were able to figure it out in like the 12th century.

I got long arms and an exfoliating luffa. I just wash every part. There’s no part of my back that I can’t reach.

The trick is to have an undiagnosed illness that constantly upsets your stomach and threatens to regurgitate any food you eat. Once I realized it hurts less to not eat at all, I started regularly skipping on meals. What’s really annoying is that I still have a pudgy tummy, even though I’m stuck on a diet some people would dream of being able to commit to.

they’re very yummy in teas! I’m actually currently sipping a “s’mores” flavored tea that uses roasted dandelion root, I find it quite nice.

The reason there isn’t any other option is because nobody puts in the effort to add other options.

There’s a Simpsons meme currently in Active on 196 rn from 1994 pointing out how ineffective both parties are. People have had longer than I have been alive to work on a third way.

America isn’t collapsing now all of a sudden. People have been passively watching it die for decades.

First time? If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that normies don’t give a fuck and just want their simple distractions, regardless of what the greater cost to society is.

It’s better than my lunch today
