Sure.

He’s a monster with deplorable policies and beliefs, a blight on humanity, and deserving of some brutal comeuppance, but that doesn’t mean he’s done nothing of benefit. Denying that vile people don’t occasionally do something right is a great way to grow calloused against humanity in general which will make it difficult to form actual genuine connections with others–something that’s necessary if we’re gonna build a better world from this.

I personally try not to deny reality when having discussions with others.

He also legalized hemp, enacted project warp speed, banned bump stocks, rescheduled cannabis, stopped production of the penny, and opened the door to researching and possible legalization of psychedelics. But that’s kinda the whole list. Granted some of those were through extra-legal means, and some were reversed by his own judges.

Unfortunately he is actually president.

Well damn. That’s crazy!

Guess they’ll just have to block and move on with life.

Why do you want to violate other’s autonomy?

Do you try to control the actions of other people to conform to your personal will in real life to?

If you don’t like what someone is saying or doing you always have the option of ignoring it and moving on with your life.

Edit:

Weird, you seem to have understood the concept here. Wonder what happened to make you suddenly change tack.

Crazy that POTUS is arguing all of this is necessary to protect him while he fucks off to his resort.

Well, we’ll have to rebuild our military in the end, you know?

First comment you’ve made on your account is a violation of the com’s 2nd rule and the instance’s 1st rule. I can’t imagine why you’d be banned.

Are we gonna kill the Pope?

Pay for a product. Decide you don’t want to use that product for one day. Seller of the product is legally required to withhold access to you for a significant length of time.

• Waterparks - Ice
• Badflower - Machine Gun
• Seb Lowe - Don’t say no to Hitler
• Moon Walker - You’re next
• Grandson - Little White Lies
• Grandson - Brainrot
• Against me! - Baby, I’m an anarchist!
• Harris J - Hourriya
• Flanger Moose - Fascists don’t have friends
• Springsteen - Streets of Minneapolis
• Gus the Bardic troubador - GTFO
• Devil Said Jump - Make me buy a gun
• Palaceburn - And you wonder why they kneel

The discographies of Grandson, Moon Walker, and Dropkick Murphys have a lot of good, recent, messages. Pussy Riot has a couple of generic and America themed songs as well. Otep has several, though they are more fueled by reaction than actual artistic talent.

I wouldn’t rule out older titles from the Vietnam or Coal Wars/Battle of Blaire Mountain Era.

Which is, of course, a violation of the Geneva Convention. Not that petty international laws should apply to “gOd’S cHoSeN pEoPlE.”

This will shift the blame for closing the Strait from Trump for starting this damned war in the first place to Trump for just closing the Strait.

Good to cut out the middleman, I guess.

Know people.

It’s literally the only way.

Go to job fairs, talk loudly about your skills when out and about and with anyone who’ll listen (I know a literal expert that does this. He works in multiple sectors including a couple different governments, has like 8 jobs making an absolute killing), meet people online, go back to school, attend a church, anything that let’s you get in front of people and talk about what you (can) do.

And if something is in your ability, but not your professional experience lie a little.

There are worse things than saying “no.”

Companies aren’t hiring people without experience, and it’s cheaper to not bother upscaling your employees and just leave them trapped in their current job.

No one cares if you show up in person to ask for a job anymore, and if their hiring system is all online it can even be a bad impression because it indicates that you can’t find information from their website and follow instructions.

This seems like the kind of boomer advice my dad thinks still works and hasn’t worked in decades.

Feckless Zionist Cowards

Oh God, that’s so fucking stupid.

Space exploration is relatively cheap compared to our murder machines, and unlike the murder machines has practical benefits for a wide swath of people.

There’s new innovations that come around in order to get into space, new innovations from discoveries made in space, and new innovations made because we’ve gone to space.

Some of these innovations even help address problems on our own planet. GPS helps keep planes from hitting each other (which was the catalyst for making high resolution GPS publicly available in the first place), satellite imagery aids in weather prediction and disaster response, even global communication is in part because of space travel.

I care less about finding backup worlds, but even that search gives us information about the needs of life and can hint at how life came to be–answers which may be helpful in some types of medical work.

Tardigrade can survive for a shockingly long time exposed to the harsh environments of space. We wouldn’t have known that if we hadn’t gone ourselves, and understanding why they can survive so long can help us look for ways to prolong resilience in other complex life forms and environments.

The knowledge gained about keeping people safe in space will be critical to keeping people safe in other extreme environments like through the ongoing climate catastrophe.

So for the sake of progress, yes, it’s necessary. It’s another frontier for humanity to explore, and the more we explore the more we find out about ourselves and how to help people.
