I wouldn’t mind that at all lol has a nice ring to it. But I would feel insulted if I don’t get treated well in a city where I’m a saint.

I couldn’t help but read this in my head with a thick southern country accent.

To that mother:

Yes, but I was thinking of a system with more … granularity and resolution. Maybe take the flight tracker and add to it, like noting the color of the vehicle he got in and its plate number. For research. Let’s say it’s to help calculate his efficiency with tax payer dollars.

If it’s not already a thing we should start a live tracker of Elon’s current or last known whereabouts. For academic purposes.

In that annoyingly smug and stupid tone, replete with agape fish-mouth expression and emphatic hand gestures:

“ It was a day of much love, great people, all very fine people, exercising their 1st amendment rights. A shame Mike Pence wasn’t there, like I was planning on being. Did I say that out loud? Oh well, when you’re rich and famous democracy will let you grab it by the pussy. “

If I ever get the chance to heckle jd vance in person, I’d happily use my defcon 1 voice to make sure he feels uncomfortable, shamed, and involuntarily pees his pants.

Hey whoa, hammers catching strays. I’m no tradesman myself but hammers are quite useful (when used appropriately) and have a number of uses outside of just driving home nails. Edit* <insert Dr. Evil-esque laugh>

Making up figures/numbers … smh. Nineteen eighty-four gets more relevant by the day.

After reading this comment, I downloaded it and am liking it so far. Thanks for spreading the word about it!

As a US citizen and Canada/Ukraine/EU/democracy supporter; I pray someone or some group finally takes off all kiddie gloves and gives trump (and thereby me and others in the country as collateral) a divine smackdown to finally make that fucker or at least those close to him realize the world and history won’t stand for his/their fascist putin titty-sucking antics.

As long as elon and trump pledge to chug first.

I have a terrible fear of snakes but I loved how cute this was. Which reminds me, I need to set a filter for snakes. Can I also filter out pictures of snakes in general (still new to lemmy/fediverse)?

Shit, I’m angry for you. You come off as totally sensible and preaching facts to the choir.

Drives me mad how we have not thrown down greedy medical practices in favor of universal healthcare yet 🙄 but I guess that’s too close to the socialist sun 😒

I feel like plebs who like the idea of privatizing the USPS (for the sake of “saving money” and therefore not having to pay for a service they “don’t need”) are the same folk who by definition of supporting the orange turd also like the idea of raising taxes for themselves and the majority of the US population to then give to the rich (but of course if they’re in the tax bracket where they make so much to get the tax break then fuck them).

It’s fine if they want to flaunt their brand of crazy but at least make it make sense.

For those who are feeling disheartened or numb and want/need a little push to get things started, you should check out AOC’s video she posted. It’s like an hour and a half long but she does a good job breaking down the situation, acknowledging the challenges, but also provides examples of things you and everyone else can do to resist.

In her own words/examples, you don’t have to feel like it’s all on just you to rollback illegal FAA staff appointments, to stop musk harvesting USAID, etc. There are specific concrete actions you can take within your capacity to make a difference.

Seems like a stretch

Ahh can’t escape the ghost of chromium I see. No offense taken from anyone who bashes on Vivaldi as I’m not dying on a hill to defend it, but of the browsers I’ve used I like the balance it strikes between what compromises that were made.

Funny enough, before making the switch to it as my main browser, I gave Firefox another shot and liked most of the experience. I also remembered using it quite a bit in middle/high school and generally had a positive experience from those times.

I only decided to go with Vivaldi instead due to the ease of customization over the gui and how certain elements could be dynamically hidden/shown as needed. It was a niche demand of a browser on my part. I remember having a somewhat rough time getting Firefox to do similar things while not intruding on the look or function of other parts of the browser, but I haven’t looked at Firefox recently and how the UX has changed since, and if it weren’t for the previously mentioned personal/niche functionality I was looking for, I think I would have stuck with Firefox over Chrome.
