Someone who’s around 40

As a "child of the internet," my history brought to light by opposition research would unite the country.

It would unite them in their hatred of me lol

Trump basically does away with that entirely. That’s what’s new.

This is one of the major lessons Trump is teaching the piece of shit future politicians. You can literally do whatever the fuck you want, no one will stop you and your state media will keep your voters in line.

Literally NOTHING.

The us has the largest military by far even when combining the contenders militaries. Add to that most world "leaders" are feckless cowards just looking for their next payout. There will be no stopping the US. :(

Senate Republicans: "Lol I'd say nice symbolic bullshit but my mouth is full of Trump's dick so I'll just click the Nay button."

Thanks for the explanation!

If only we could have a nice unexpected downturn that wouldn't affect "us" right about now lol

But how do they pay off the loan? They eventually need some sort of cash of their own right? Do they literally borrow to pay off a loan and do that infinitely?

Nope, coconut is a mammal. It's hairy and has milk.

"Capitalism breeds innovation!!"

The innovation:

  1. Capitalism creates prisons, nonprofit industrial complex, big pharm etc to profit from the desperation (and captures governments to ensure focus is placed on increasing the profitability of these ventures)

It definitely reads like "we did the same things, but I'm here in prison and that guy is president. Boo hoo pity me."

Exactly. This life rewards evil tremendously... I'm so sick of it

 

US media company Paramount Global has agreed to pay $16 million (£13.5m) to settle a legal dispute with US President Donald Trump regarding an interview it broadcast on CBS with former Vice President Kamala Harris.

As usual corporations looking for special treatment, hoping to have their merger accepted, refuse to fight the fascist...

I wish someone would sue Fox for fucks sake..

91°F (32.7°C) in the factory I work at.

The law states "all factories must maintain a reasonable temperature and humidity."

Nowhere is reasonable ever defined. I am mildly infuriated. And very hot lol

Edit: 94° (34.4C) now and this post has made it close to the top of "Hot"... The gods are having a laugh lol

 

Hey Lemmy! Time to do some digging!

I was sent a link from a friend about some Totally Cool™ guy who has close ties to JD Vance: Curtis Yarvin. Anyone aware of this guy and his desires? I won't put the link in here as my last post was removed because of it, but a comment within the thread is copied below.

Apparently Japanese media covered the story as was posted to Reddit, but there doesn't seem to be too much talk of this in the US.

From a comment in the reddit discussion: “Curtis Yarvin is a far-right ‘intellectual’ that wants to end democracy and install what I can only really describe as cyberpunk feudalism. He’s suggested turning the United States into a patchwork of corporate fiefdoms ruled with absolute impunity by CEOs, as well as putting mandatory ankle monitors on all unemployed and poor people. This sounds like a joke, but I’m serious. JD Vance is not just a fan of him intellectually, but also a personal friend. As someone who has known about Yarvin for several years, it’s been really concerning seeing how he could potentially become a Rasputin-like figure in the event of a Trump victory. Beyond this, Yarvin has also spent many years advocating for what sounds eerily like Project 2025.”

For those familiar with Star Citizen lore, he apparently wants to turn the US into the Stanton system “lol” …
