If someone accused you of being an internal combustion engine and their only supporting evidence was posting a wikipedia article about internal combustion engines it would be equally as irrelevant as you pointing at someone, saying “You’re a tankie!” and then posting the wikipedia article about tankies.

Actually I’m starting to feel convinced the Democrats saw “The Producers” as inspiration.

“You can make more money with a floploss than a hitwin!”

As long as they keep losing elections, they can keep making money disappear (via laundering it). They sop up all the donations and laugh all the way to the bank, burning LITERAL BILLIONS OF DOLLARS on their cousin-in-law’s “strategy consulting firm” and tons of completely ineffectual “vote blue” spam, and pay themselves six-figure “speaking fees”.

The solution isn’t to just stop voting, though. Voting is merely the least inconvenient, easiest to access tool in the toolbox and the people who left it unused are morons no matter how much ELSE they are doing ABOVE AND BEYOND that. Voting is the bare minimum; you have to do that AND local party organizing, civics, community engagement, nominating candidates for local races.

But if you don’t vote TOO, it’s like you neglected to wipe your ass. The stink follows you and embarrasses everyone with you.

I’m not gonna be equipped to make a nuanced and detailed take right now but in my experience hexbears are alright, fun to talk to, I can learn things from them, and at worst they’re spicy.

Actually, for that matter, I DO actually want to incorporate your point.

The problem is the proverbial horse died of thirst.

You’re right in that it’s not correct for me to simply leave it at “you can lead the horse to water but you can’t make it drink”, because the truth is SHE DIDN’T LEAD THE FUCKING HORSE TO WATER AT ALL IN THE FIRST PLACE!

She silently held up a sign that said “maybe water”

Trump held up a sign that said “no water for anyone except you” (which was patently a LIE, there was never any water at all with him) while also making beckoning noises and holding a sugar cube in his other hand.

The fact that the horse literally couldn’t even read in the first place doesn’t change the fact that she didn’t do her fucking job and that he used empty populist rhetoric to lure the horse to a place where there definitely was NEVER going to be any water whatsoever.

We tried to nudge the horse to where there might have been water. But it’s just a dumb fucking animal and wanted sugar cubes. Now it’s dead (and it didn’t even get the sugar cube it was being bribed with) and

…

yeah. We have better shit to do than keep beating this dead horse. It’s too late for it to learn anything.

So, departing from that metaphor, in a very real sense I’ve been making preparations to help people survive and perhaps someday even evacuate. Complaining about the circumstances is not the ONLY thing I’m doing, not by a long shot. But I do complain. Because I’m stressed and need to release the metaphorical pressure.

If you know of any mutual aid groups starting up to construct an underground railroad now that the horse is dead and we have to rely on ourselves, I’d sure like to know.

all the people who refused to vote for kamala must be so pleased with how little palestinian genocide is about to happen. aren’t they? well? aren’t they?

no?

gee it sure sounds like their whole little plan backfired in the worst possible way come to think of it, ACTUALLY.

what works for me is quietly telling one person that i’m leaving, just in case anyone notices, with the understanding that i don’t expect anyone to notice.

Yup.

“they can’t do that, that’s illegal!”

Shame the law doesn’t mean Jack Fucking Shit now.

The law is whatever they want it to be at any moment.

The coordinated enshittification is rather disheartening.

I’m still daily driving a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 because all the phones thereafter felt like a downgrade, and the problems like the one referenced in this article have only convinced me further…

I miss 2014, when the note 4 was the flagship. Note 4 kicked ass.

the wolves always move the goalpost regarding who, exactly, is the weakest or sickliest. whenver they take the weakest or sickliest, ANOTHER one becomes the weakest/sickliest after that.
It will happen to

the best meal you’ll ever have in the rest of your life

A man named Luigi Mangione stood up and did something about it.

And the powers that be are working tirelessly to destroy him without making it so obvious that it riles the rest of us up.

Bearing in mind that objectification is wrong, clearly it’s a shitty to lump human beings into categories.

But everybody’s got a type.

And I’ll admit, if someone I fell in love with turned out to be a tomboy, or industrious, or serious and clever, as contradictory as it sounds… I’d SO fucking vibe.

luigi’s 2024 resolution came in clutch at the last moment

If you’ve got it, flaunt it.

I hope she manages to set up an irrevocable trust that guarantees steady income for the rest of her life so someday she can quit sex work and just pursue art or something if she wants

Hell, maybe it’ll turn out that sex work is her art and that is ok too

oh no you fucking don’t.

BATHING DOES NOT THERMALLY DENATURE THE PROTEINS IN YOUR MUSCULAR TISSUE AND FUCKING KILL YOU.

Furthermore there is no recipe for broth that involves SOAP nor do you bathe in LITERALLY BOILING WATER.

Boiling is NOT bathing and I will FIGHT anyone who tries to argue otherwise.

I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL
FUCK IT, I WILL KILL ON THIS HILL
THIS HILL IS MADE OF THE DEAD MOTHERFUCKERS WHO WERE WRONG

and in jail each resident will cost tax payers approximately $80,000.00 per year on average.
