the one thing about Hellsite 2.0 is that it’s very easy to tell when something’s hit the discover feed because the replies immediately become insane

yeah like that’s fine, whatever, but gendering and having half the class do one thing and the rest something different? Nah

“why do wokerati have to make everything about gender?”

Listen, my toddler’s preschool has different lines for girls and boys on the Wheels On The Bus, why the fuck are YOU making everything about gender

I use ExpressVPN to go the other direction and the paid service is very good indeed

i do think there's a big difference between like, not continuing to update software, and then intentionally bricking old software so that the outdated hardware is useless

👻madeline boOoOoOodent👻 @oldenoughtosay.com · 14h

it's really interesting because most non-americans know more about the USA and how it works than the other direction, and i think ppl who have never left the USA simultaneously expect everything to be about them and also are shocked that outsiders know about them? obvs not everyone but it's strange

my b, i misunderstood your phrasing

👻madeline boOoOoOodent👻 @oldenoughtosay.com · 15h

the point is that you don't have to because the president is acting with unrestricted power

👻madeline boOoOoOodent👻 @oldenoughtosay.com · 15h

OH, i see what you mean. You mean the phrase works just fine, not the USA. Yes, I agree with you there, and more to the point, so does the OP. Like that's what she's saying. it works because of the USA.

the issue is unrestricted executive power, regardless of the title held by the executive with the unrestricted power. that's what Jo is saying- it's not the name or how they CAME to power that's the problem, it's how that power is wielded.

👻madeline boOoOoOodent👻 @oldenoughtosay.com · 15h

i am not saying a monarchy is mandatory! i absolutely don't believe that, nor is that what Jo was saying in the OP. but much as many monarchies go bad, so too do democracies and republics, as evidenced by.... the current shitshow y'all got going on

👻madeline boOoOoOodent👻 @oldenoughtosay.com · 15h

like i'm gonna square with you, in no sense of the word is the usa currently working just fine

👻madeline boOoOoOodent👻 @oldenoughtosay.com · 15h

i mean. fucking does it tho
