I’m just this guy, you know? Except on Lemmy.

Comparing our reaction to this to the sinking of the Lusitania will be interesting.
Enhancing your productivity without an increase in your wage is just bending over even more for the people stealing your labor value.
If you do get more efficient be sure to take longer breaks to offset it.
Very much not. For example the movie “Master & Commander” is based on a book but skips a lot of stuff.
Well, I can’t do that so I’ll just keep voting and watching the world burn around me because everyone else is a fucking idiot.
If we’re truly a government “of the people, by the people, and for the people” then we did it to ourselves.
If we’re not that then we should “dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another”
“Eat all your vegetables there are children starving in America” - Chinese parents in 2026
“Just type in your private key and nobody gets hurt”
While we all know you’re correct the sheer number of memes that can trace their origins to 4chan shows that anonymous, ephemeral content is pretty powerful.
Pussies are tough and can take a pounding and handle childbirth.

That last part is another classic line: “Just vote as much as you can and they’ll listen.”
I’ve been voting every election - primaries, local, everything - for two and a half decades and it feels more useless every year.
If I’m playing the long game I must be playing the wrong game
And lost congress and a ton of states in the same time.
And that majority is a majority of one, and both were two term presidents who were hamstrung by Republican Congresses.
So I stand by my assertion that democrats can’t win elections. Not enough to matter anyway.
“Republicans worse” and “the democrats are a big tent” are some classic excuses that still don’t make up for the fact that Democrats can’t win elections.
Pearls: Clutched.
Brow: Furrowed.
My plan would be to make the network publicly owned and have ISPs purchase access to it. Then they can compete on features and pricing rather than relying on being a monopoly.
It would work a lot like how dialup worked. If you want a bare bones connection you can get that. If you want a big platform like AOL you can get that, too.
Okay how about everyone votes on everything? That actually sounds awesome.
The people who don’t want it are probably the people most capable and worthy. I look forward to your filing as a candidate! 😀
This comment made me realize I have a religious obligation to run for office. And then if I win to not do the job at all.
The major problem, one of the major problems, for there are several, with governing people is that of who you get to do it. Or, rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: It is a well known and much lamented fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
To summarize the summary: Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made president should on no account be allowed to do the job.
To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.

And yet when he was recalled to Moscow after the fall of the Berlin Wall he brought back a washing machine because he couldn’t get one back home.
Dude started at the bottom and now he’s here. Game recognize game.
You lost this anarchist at “central authority”
