Exiled from the Bird Site for taking the fight to the terrorists. Actually pretty friendly when not dealing with extremists and whackos. Still, I've got something to make just about anybody mad.

What's that? Do I have any hobbies? Oh, mostly just telling people things they don't want to hear.
Every single person on the planet who isn't on Bluesky has learned not to lose their minds every time Trump says some crazy shit, lol.
I wasn't aware that we had nuked the DPRK but if we did we clearly got away with it, so that's all gravy.

Do lefties ever judge the quality of art and music, or just the ideological leanings of artists? Conservatives are much better at putting aside their politics and appreciating music made by libs.

But Fetterman is better than almost all Democrats in Congress, lol
imagine going to a car dealership with a T-shirt that said “I’m going to buy a car no matter what today.” this is exactly how you get swindled. this is how you get a snake like Fetterman in power, out of desperation. you will never force the Democrats to change if you don’t put pressure on them.

And? We've seen how Iran does in big boy war, not cloak and dagger car bomb cornhole war. It picked big boy fights with the goddamn Pakistanis and lost to Pakistan, a nearly impossible feat. I'm not going to do 'Iraq in 2003 really is scary u guise' shit for Iran after that.

You wouldn't upvote a Swiss billionaire who's spending $100s of millions to influence American elections, would you? No of course you wouldn't upvote that post or follow him (the Swiss billionaire's name is Hansjorg Wyss - ever heard of him?).
Would you upvote cutey Krassers instead? Sure you would

Do you really think that Brooklyn Dad, Acyn, and the Krassers/etc are objective news sources?
These are businesspeople. And you'll never know who's paying them.
The illusion of objectivity, making it seem as if they aren't simply the mouthpieces of billionaires, is the business model.

A Dark Money Group Is Secretly Funding High-Profile Democratic Influencers
An initiative aimed at boosting Democrats online offers influencers up to $8,000 a month to push the party line. All they have to do is keep it secret—and agree to restrictions on their content.

I feel like I was made for AI-assisted sofware development. I'm not one of these people who ever deeply loved coding; coding was always a means to an end, just a way (a frequently annoying way) to build stuff. Do you think mathemeticians love to sit around doing arithmetic all the time? lol

What's exhausting is your overwrought sense of grievance. It's a fucking hard drive. Supply will catch up with demand and it's not something you need to survive. Get a life.
Fun little update:
The $260 4tb SSD I wanted to buy 4 months ago is now:
$809 at retail price.
So I guess we just don’t get to afford computers now?
I’m in desperate need of good news, man. Watching society rapidly decay is exhausting.

The people who flipped out when the United States cut USAID, let's operationally define them as the "globalists" to make this conversation simpler.
I hate that we have to now pretend that "Globalists" are an actual thing. Absolutely terrible article in Foreign Affairs btw.

The kind of mind that reads about microchips made with doped silicon and thinks "sand can do math now" is exactly the kind of mind that thinks "men can have babies now".
sand can do math
men can get pregnant
we can edit DNA
we went to the moon. the moon in the fucking *sky*.
that stuff is just normal now, and obsessing over strangers genitals is what's weird

Yeah buddy people who paid off their own student loans are not "grateful" to be forced to pay off other people's student loans by executive order. Nor are they "grateful" for an open border policy.
A thing that exploding my Twitter made it difficult for me to prove that I've said back to at least 2016 is that voters do not vote out of gratitude
I thought we all learned from Biden that voters don't actually reward progressive legislation wins, and that the idea of deliverism was completely dead

If Dems delivered on progressive policy—or even credibly fought for it—they'd be winning elections. Big donors ensure that they don't.
It would be infinitely more productive if those punching down on the electorate pushed instead for Dems to ditch big donors.
