protip: no it really really isn’t

it’s lemmy tech bros sunk cost fallacy “not me, i don’t have to do nuthin, does’t apply to me” bullshit

oh brother, you still think we’re on a spiral, as in active? dude the spiral is complete, and now the monsters have control of all three branches of us government, they’re going to do their damnedest to make sure they change just about everything that could possibly allow the power to be taken from them ever again. should have gotten the young people to vote, but wasn’t important, looking a bit more important now, huh. dumbest thing i’ve ever seen, trump was president, fucked everything up, a million americans died bad from a pandemic due to his ineptitude, then young people stayed home and didn’t vote democrat … can’t make this shit up, the jokes write themselves. and now … unstoppable destruction, and death.

I remember the days before fast boot, you’d sit there like it was punishment, while it counted ram, then if you hit a snag, you’re in for the big hurt

Imagine driving around the fascistmobile with the attitude “yeah i know he’s a fascist billionaire destroying democracies, and throwing up the heil hitler, but i already bought this car” lol, gotta be the weakest weaksauce justification and it seems most are like “understandable” hahahahahahaa, flying the fascists flag everywhere you go

Wait a second, didn’t CNN launch a streaming service to great fanfare, then kill it deader than Dillinger before it launched, laying off hundreds when it did. Now they’re laying off hundreds to launch it again? I’m not sure CNN is on the level, folks.

I’m on Fedia.io, which If I’m not mistaken is Mbin, was on Kbin before it spun out, and I wouldn’t join a “Lemmy” instance if you paid me good hard green American money

they’re still not understanding their personal responsibility as good government in all of this

Spain’s a little late to the party as per usual

I’m pretty much over Scorsese as a movie maker of movies I enjoy, his last few movies have been crap, the uber Catholic shit wears thin, he’ll keep making them, people will keep subscribing to streaming companies to watch them, but he’s a meh in my book at this point

Indeed. Still no excuse not to vote Democrat.

hear hear!

Nah, less “Radicalization”, more simple turning out the vote for Democrats amongst young people. Simple. When we vote, we win, when our young people stay home and waste their opportunity, the monsters gain control of Congress, The Supreme Court, and the Presidency. Don’t need to have been radical to have saved abortion, or immigrant rights, or ukraine, simply had to vote Democrat. I know the concept is so low effort the tankies will rain against it, and THAT is why we find ourselves losing … everything.

congratulations!

yes. elections have consequences. republicans haven’t been coy about wanted to outlaw abortion nationwide at the federal level. enough democrats didn’t vote in the last election (mostly young people for whom these bans will effect the most, and cause the most harm) to ensure republicans now control ever branch of united states government, the legislative (both house of congress), the judicial (doj and the supreme court), and executive (the presidency). that’s a clean sweep, and a wide pipe for the monsters to do just about anything they want to. congratulations.

been asking about this from day one

see, that sounds great and everything, until you realize that if we fast foward six months from now, europe is going to watch as russia retakes ukraine without firing a shot itself, just like everyone else. cowardice has always been an option for europe, which has had since 1945 to get it’s shit together vs Russia, but instead saw the majority of it’s countries spend their GDP on 5 weeks of paid holidays a year, while deep throating Russian gas and oil, even after it illegally annexed Crimea 11 years ago. if it’s US led Europe is the tough guy standing behind, without the US, Europe hides

“prime ministers and other legislators, in the 45 years since Wetherspoon started trading, have been dinner party goers, rather than pub goers” yeah, ok, timmy, that’s always been the case since forever. truth of the matter is timbo, shit is too expensive nowadays, it’s cheaper (and healthier) to prepare food at home, and people have finally figured out alcohol is bad for them in anything but strict moderation. the worm has turned timbot, you’re gonna need a different business model than selling overpriced pints.

this is obvious and not good television
