He also failed to step down when faced with compelling evidence that he would lose to Trump. If we had an honest primary, I don’t think we’d be in this mess. Instead, he held on to power up until the last minute and the Democratic constituency yet again got a candidate they didn’t want.

I stopped using Spotify long ago because of their shitty business practices. Producing a product they killed support for within just a couple years without reimbursing customers and producing huge amounts of e-waste. Jacking their subscription prices twice in one year. Apparently, they also donated to Trump despite not being an American company?? That’s to say nothing of their shitty recommendation algorithm, which just plays your most played tracks over and over. Good riddance.

For those interested, I use Tidal now. I’m satisfied with, their recommendation algo is fine and the higher quality streaming is really nice but nothing I’ve used has ever been as good as Google Play Music, I found so much good music though that service and could upload whatever I was missing. Once Tidal inevitably pisses me off, I’m going to move on to self hosting.

Authorities: Quit complaining and get back to work, peasant!

*Executed, extra judicially

Ain’t no way these fucks are going to let up at the opportunity to unload their mags into anybody who shoots at them.

For anybody not wanting to visit the site. It’s a sign up form to get on the wait-list for his $5m pathway to citizenship.

What a sniveling little bitch

How did their commander in chief put it? Suckers and losers?

They could be sleeping comfortably in their own beds but instead they’re sleeping on a hard floor in a place devoid of any charm at the whim of a tyrant to do his bidding.

You think they care about their children’s well being? It’s all about their own status and legacy to them and their children are just a part of that.

How can we as a society tolerate this?

They’ve been jerking themselves off to deploying the military against California for decades. This is their fantasy come true and they can hardly wait.

Ironic that the man convinced he was going to take humanity to Mars just set back humanity’s interplanetary expansion by a generation.

Maybe what we’ve lost with this mistake will balance out by teaching us that autocrats/oligarchs don’t serve us but it’s hard to imagine it at this point.

On one hand, this would be hilarious. On the other hand, the affirmation Trump would get out of exercising that kind of power over the richest man in history would be terrifying.

Same here! Though I took a 6-month break in between quitting Reddit and joining Lemmy. I remember hoping it would amount to a feeling of liberation but in reality I just felt out of touch with world events and started scrolling through my Google feed instead, which sucked…

This was the final straw for him? Really??

Congress: “Yeah whatever, do what the orange guy says.”

I’ve been saying for the past decade that I think the federal government holds way too much power and needs to dissolve. The country is too big for how centralized the power is and the states cannot effectively satisfy their constituents’ needs when they’re so beholden to federal interests. I love the state and city that I live in and I don’t want to have to move across the world in order to live somewhere with sane politics but I’m sick of progress here being delayed because so many of our resources are going to the federal government and being compromised by the interests of the other 98% of the country.

He’s proven that he can’t be reasoned with and is effectively immune from accountability. At this point, casting blame upon him is essentially the same as blaming a natural disaster for the destruction it causes. If you get burned while playing with fire, would it be rational to blame the fire?

I also hate that that’s our reality. But I see people arguing that blaming Democrats for dropping the ball gives Trump and the Republican party a free pass to be shitty and this is my dilemma.

My state rejected the state-wide RCV measure in November :⁠-⁠\
