root_beer , to 196 in rule

And then they think they’ll be part of the vanguard when the power vacuum opens up, and will give way to a glorious socialist utopia. Guess what, turbo, you’ll be up against that wall too, and it’s just going to be roving gangs of authoritarians.

root_beer , to politics in Trump is selling 'God Bless the USA' Bibles for $59.99 as he faces mounting legal bills

Worst Paper Moon remake proposal ever. I only hope this ends up with him, after stealing moonshine and selling it as his own, getting his ass kicked and having to leave the state.

root_beer , to You Should Know in YSK: There is a website (app too) that shows what political parties companies support (if any)

It’s the only way I support the death penalty, it’s just too bad none of them have been condemned

root_beer , to Videos in Pickup Truck Guy: A Brief Psychoanalysis | CityNerd (21:29)

Explain all the people in the suburbs then. No shortage of brodozers there. Otherwise, why so sore?

root_beer , to Technology in Vinyl records outsell CDs for the second year running

Ahh, perfect, thanks, I genuinely appreciate it. I should have done that myself, shouldn’t I?

root_beer , to Technology in Vinyl records outsell CDs for the second year running

Hm, digital downloads count as physical media? I might? be able to see the merit in that classification but I’m not entirely convinced.

root_beer , to Technology in Vinyl records outsell CDs for the second year running

I want to know what “other” is that is also clobbering CDs. Can’t say it’s streaming because it’s physical media. The article mentions that half a million cassettes were sold, but that doesn’t really answer the question. That “other” takes up a lot of space relative to CDs so I’m pretty curious.

root_beer , to Asklemmy in Lemmy Babies of the Rexodus - it's been 9 months, how has Lemmy changed you?

I deleted my Reddit account and have not gone back. That said, I’m not particularly fond of Lemmy either. I’ve found… maybe? two communities here of interest that may have migrated from Reddit and they aren’t even active; and even as a socialist, the politics are tiresome and pervasive.

Aside from fascists getting the smacking around that they deserve, the one thing that’s nice is that there are far fewer cringey “yay lemmy is the best isn’t it guys” circlejerk posts now than there were back then. I don’t spend nearly as much time on here as I did on Reddit, so that’s a plus.

root_beer , to politics in The House GOP just gave Biden’s campaign a huge gift: Roughly 80 percent of House Republicans just lined up behind a plan to cut Social Security and ban all abortions

Who is this “actual candidate” you keep blustering about? You’re all “fuck genocide joe and the neolibs” but never once have any of you offered a viable alternative. Special, urgent emphasis on viable, by the way. Otherwise, I am going to assume you do want Trump to win as some sort of accelerationist gambit so the proletariat revolution can finally begin… well, guess what, in the power vacuum you want so bad, you’ll be surprised to see who actually ends up against that wall.

Never forget that bastard Lieberman

[edit] speak of the devil, he’s gone home now

root_beer , to Science Memes in grants

Ehh, it stops being fun when you see your dreams crushed so thoroughly and so repeatedly. I do not miss academia, the little bit of time I spent in it.

root_beer , to Science Memes in shoot for the moon

You could easily fuck it up more. Like, shoot in the opposite direction, or shoot for the sun. Hell, you could just blow the rocket up altogether. Guys, it’s so easy to fuck it up waaayyy more.

root_beer , to politics in Murkowski, done with Trump, won’t rule out leaving GOP

His defense of Obama was still couched in bigotry. To paraphrase (I think), he said, “Mr. Obama is not a Muslim, he is a decent person.” Yes, he meant well, but he still flubbed it.

root_beer , to politics in Murkowski, done with Trump, won’t rule out leaving GOP

And that was against a jamoke from Tea Party, who were basically proto-chuds

root_beer , to politics in Letitia James can target any Donald Trump assets "across the world": Lawyer

Why can’t they get it through their worm-eaten brains that he wants to be loved by the Manhattan elite and that, deep down, he loathes them?

This is purely rhetorical venting, pay no mind
