They’re already arming themselves for a civil war and openly calling themselves domestic terrorists, and your response is tea? You’re naive if you think neighborliness is enough to avoid the coming conflict, they’ve already killed Americans.

Temu isn’t a social media network that has been known to boost specific narratives with their algorithm. The U.S. isn’t saying that China can’t sell and market to the American audience, just that they’ll need a supervisor if they want to mess with media.

I’d like to hope that the American people wouldn’t stomach such a brazen coup, but I think that requires Harris to win in a landslide. If it’s even remotely close centrists will shrug and say it’s the will of the people just like they shrugged at Gore.

I hadn’t heard of such a thing, but it would make a lot more sense if this was just Meta trying to make sure they’re dodging potential sanctions.

I mean yeah that’s sound political strategy, but you’re telling me MTG woke up and possessed the self reflection necessary to realize that?

I think it’s more believable that we all died.

Nope, the Dems goal is to try and scoop up all the disenfranchised Republicans. They understand that the modern GOP is in their death throes, so they’re happy to shift the Overton Window further right. Republican policy is what their donors want anyway, it’ll be a lot easier to push when they’re a coalition of conservatives and centrists.

The goal for leftists is to start organizing grassroots campaigns for Senators and Representatives now, so that once the Dems have finished feasting on the ghouls’ corpse, we’re ready to fill the power vacuum.

I don’t know how to break it to Ohioans, but we didn’t exactly have a high opinion of them in the first place. I don’t know if Vance is really sinking it any lower

This seems kinda unprecedented, no? I typically criticize Meta for sitting on their ass regarding the misinformation that’s rife on their platform, but this seems like an actual step forward to reducing that.

I’m a little more shaky on the first time. Someone else was actually killed, it seemed like a serious fuck-up on local law enforcement and SS’s part, it’s just too messy.

This time though? Where they caught the guy before he got a shot off? And the only person who will face any consequences is the gunman? I just find it so hard to believe, because Donald Trump is exactly the kind of piece of shit who would stage an attempt on his life for the ratings.

Good fucking luck. Trying to get schools to give any standardized test is like pulling teeth, entire states have given up on the idea.

There’s some old gigs that I leave off just because the reputations of some of the companies I worked for is poor, they’re seriously trying to attack her over leaving McDonald’s off? Is the Rebuplican strategy to just appeal to boomers by being as out of touch as possible?

Oh no I’m young, I’m just self aware enough to realize that the things I say are pretty weird. Zoomer culture is insane and beautiful and horrible.

Negative rizz is such a fucking insane thing to see in the news. Imagine showing that to someone 20 years ago.

Too bad. We’re watching the death throes of the GOP, and the Dems will stay right to continue courting the hemorrhaging right-wing voters. It’s just another little reminder that after electing Harris, leftists will need to continue to organize to form our own pro-labor party.

That’s already what the Trump team is demanding. They want to have mics muted because they realized how much better it made Trump look at the Biden debate.

Harris isn’t a smug elitist nor a doddering old fool. She’ll cut him off and dress him down.

I don’t have any inherent disagreement, but I feel like I’m gonna need you to show your work. Can’t you have beef pepperoni? that feels very close to milk, and only a step away from cream.

The problem is when you start getting into what a therapist is actually meant to do. A therapist isn’t meant to just be someone you go talk to for an hour, they’re meant to help you really work on your mental health. For a lot of these conservative men, the issue is their worldview. In order to help heal them and get these men what they would deserve out of therapy, you would need to show them how their negative worldview is built upon a mountain of lies, and get them to let go of their irrational hate. A therapist that buys into and feeds their worldview is just an enabler that would be effectively scamming conservatives.

Yeah don’t fucking do this if you care about your friend. These scams can end up putting people in life-threatening amounts of debt, and the shame of being scammed by someone they thought they loved has driven people to suicide.

OP, if you and your friends all really care about this guy, you should talk to him about it and try to prevent him from sending any more money. Maybe bring some research on “pig-butchering” schemes, which is probably what your friend is falling for unfortunately, and show them the similarities. If you still can’t convince him, try and remain sympathetic so you can pick him up when the scam is finished.

Thanks for the heads up! I’m one of those weirdos who thinks Burning Crusade is like peak WoW, but it’s hard to find good private servers focused on the era.
