I wonder if the more politically acceptable argument on this should be made.

When I was a young soldier the second I got married I qualified for SNAP, when I had my daughter I qualified for SNAP and WIC.

Right now not only are we not paying our young military members we're taking away their food

I have no idea why RTO at the political level is a thing, my job/life is easier in the office but my job is unique.

I think "Hard Hat Riot" on the PBS American Experience YouTube channel explains it fairly well not totenkopf guy but the dems desire for the white working class.

If you were to buy an open source smart watch to pair with a grapheneOS pixel which would you choose?

If you work for DoD the food pantries on the installation will now help civilians too. If you are unaware of what services are available reach out to your supervisor.

I’m not a big air head but I was next to a beautiful ghia at the the local euro fest that almost changed my mind.

Unfortunately, that’s what everyone said over here in 2016, yet here we are in 2025 🤷🏽‍♀️ … on a side note, we have a ‘58 Ghia & a ‘58 split oval window 🪲♥️

He’s not going to survive this term and none of his people had the Id, charisma, or back story to hold MAGA together

Talking about “the next president” assumes we’ll still have a functioning democracy by then. We won’t … unless we pull our heads out of our asses and start organizing right now 🐸🏴‍☠️♥️

Are we bringing Linux dirty laundry to BlueSky, shouldn’t this be on Mastodon or Lemmy?

This is what Alabamas forefathers fought for, the right to kill black folks at their leisure

When Reagan and Thatcher are being praised in a thread you know the situation is bad.

Jamie Raskin is a smart guy we don’t need him behind a mic “taking down” Trump, we need him to figure out how to stop or mitigate the damage.

IIRC if they do not identify themselves stand your ground etc. applies.

The German government will probably bail them out but they still need to re-look their product line up

ThatVWGuy @watercooledvw.bsky.social · 1d

They’re looking for clicks not truth. Most Americans won’t read in-depth coverage, nor will they pay for it, so they get their news from social media. A nice 15 second clip is able to be posted to the only media people pay any attention to.

The problem is in the mirror.

I don't get why reporters from decent news sites just roll over for these stories. Do they have any professional ethics? Don't act like these lies are just part of the game.

ThatVWGuy @watercooledvw.bsky.social · 1d

It’s sad that someone needed to go on TV to say that.

The historic part of the loss of the twin towers was the almost 5000 people that lost their lives in plan conceived in a cave have way around the world. The buildings were replaced the people weren’t and are what’s remembered.

The Heathen Historian @heathenhistory.bsky.social · 1d

The Twin Towers were built in the 1970s and destroyed in 2001 that is not particularly historic.

See how fucking stupid that sounds?

ThatVWGuy @watercooledvw.bsky.social · 1d

The east wing built in the early 1900's and was in essence rebuilt during WWII that wing is not particularly historic.

He wants the solar to be the currency of Argentina so of course the peso is going to lose value, that's the point. We funded it because Milei said nice things about DJT.

That was the intent.

Its 2025 we have a new underground railroad to get women healthcare, that is the state of our society, I hope everyone is proud

I wonder how much longer the western world is going live the fantasy that Ukraine can do this themselves? It seems we going to wait until Kiyv looks like Dresden in '45 before we act.

ThatVWGuy @watercooledvw.bsky.social · 1d

Any things have happened since '42 to include changes to that building.

Tod Lauer @todlauer.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, not much has really happened since 1942...

And what military is going to escort the needed aid to Gaza?

ThatVWGuy @watercooledvw.bsky.social · 1d

The world gave him the financial wherewithal and data to make these a reality, we happily traded privacy to spout political views that changes no minds and to find out where the local bands are. The plus side is at least the EU had learned the lesson, will we?

ThatVWGuy @watercooledvw.bsky.social · 1d

That is an argument I can get behind, there is no real point in doing this to include the paving of the rose garden? I disagree with the argument its and old building therefore its inviolate, the US and what it stands for is an idea not a place.

And even then it’s the general principle of why randomly destroy a house you’re only supposed to live in for less than 4 years it’s essentially a rental

ThatVWGuy @watercooledvw.bsky.social · 1d

Sure the era was, the structures not so much.

Orange Scrudd @orangescrudd.bsky.social · 1d

I feel like WWII era qualifies as historic

ThatVWGuy @watercooledvw.bsky.social · 1d

I'm not bitter everything we are experiencing now was discussed during the forever long campaign. We're generally shielded from the consequences of our actions, this time we're not and that's a good thing.
