There is straight up no time to get the wheels properly in time to prevent significant effects. And once the feedback loops kick in there’s almost no way to stop the cascading

Was just about to say, “wasn’t this the plot of what I thought was a shitty scarjo flick from 10+ years ago”?

The ones you could refill were the only game in town at the beginning, only thing I ever used. Need to get back on flower for weed but the cartridges are super convenient, at least they don’t have batteries(I know there are disposable weed vapes, not the same as the cartridges)

Really hope y’all are able to right that specific ship, we’re gonna need help but I also just wouldn’t wish this on anyone

When you say they, do you mean Americans paying attention, Trump voters and supporters, or the assholes making these decisions?

The first group are painfully aware of how fucked we are, the second MIGHT when they lose their home/job or have a loved one hauled away to a concentration camp but even then they might never because pro American propaganda has burrowed itself so deeply into their minds they truly believe the exceptionalism horseshit, the third either knows and is fine with it because they are just trying to consolidate power or is one of the ignorant true believers like the second group.

I fucking hate my country

The United States as we have known it for all of our lifetimes is dead, adults will never steer that ship again. There are certain portions of it that may be reasonable and trustable allies again at some point. But the current form of my country will never return to reason. I genuinely hope you don’t think we’ll have free and fair national elections again

The circle is nearly complete. Soon as the UK declares its independence from the oppressive United States of America irony will officially be dead

Motherfucker looks like he’s inflated to Baron Harkonnen size

Don’t do that, don’t give me hope

For sure that’s why the timing is important

I think we do already have a vaccine for this, now obviously Trump can fuck with its supply but there’s still some time. If you live in a blue state you might be ok yourself

The only drivable thing that would survive that is a Toyota pickup because they are unkillable

FIFA makes the NFL look downright benevolent

He is but this is letting Robert Welch off lightly

I lived this daily until I got a bidet, not worth it now

This is the take i understand the least that I’ve seen on Lemmy, airport bars are amongst the funnest places to drink, folks are either in vacation or work trip mode so for the most part everyone is loose and chill, nobody has to drive after, and as soon as I board and get to my seat I can instantly take a nap. I love an airport bar and I’ve had a bunch of really fun chats in them when I used to travel for work constantly

The only real pro of alcohol is that it’s fun and helps you let loose and relax a bit. At least for most people, beer is an acquired taste but if it didn’t get you drunk it would quickly fall out of favor. And I say this as someone who loves beer and its cousins

I just did this over the weekend, I’ll try to remember to come back after work and add in my steps. It can be really confusing to parse over a bunch of tutorials

We went into debt with public health goodwill about 3 months into COVID

Not defending his points on Ukraine at all but Chomsky has a bit of Kissinger energy, he’s obviously not that evil since as far as I know he’s committed zero war crimes compared to the hundreds Henry committed, but he does seem to have the ability to shift his intellect to get behind whatever he believes is the best vector to achieve the ends he’s deemed necessary without any moral qualms.
