Man, the criticisms are valid, and I’ll even add to them because his pride in not stepping down sooner doomed what shreds of american democracy were left. That said, the best and largest climate bill ever passed by the US govt happened under him. Unions were bolstered and grew under him (not the train workers tho lol) and if nothing else, his victory let me not think about the fat orange cow for ten minutes. In so many ways, I pity and even kinda miss that sad sleepy bastard-- however much he floundered in almost every way. As a bonus his dogs hated government agents as much as I do, and got to bite them with impunity.

Yeeeeah dude. I just looked it up, I’ve been fucking that up forever.

Duly noted. –The edit being that I said dually noted, which had previously meant to me “I’ll remember that twice as hard” Obviously i shit the bed on that one.

They deserve a decent time now and again, good on you.

I feel like with Zeus’s reputation for assuming the form of people or animals to trick foolish mortals, there’s a lot of benevolent trolling that could be done in times like these.

There is no better use of your awesome powers that comes to mind.

It’s far funnier than it should be Your name is also perfect to have been the first to comment.

Cheesechain

What a bunch of bastards.

I dislike how profound this is

The aforementioned snubbing was such a weirdly pivotal moment. I hadn’t been excited before that cycle and I’ve been so cynical ever since. The berndog is somehow still such a main character in my political life. It’s always been bernievibes vs trumpism to me. Biden was a nice break from needing to constantly monitor the situation (comfort in immobility and the milquetoast status quo). Now I’m watching a fat billionaire doing a limp dictatorship, and as always he’s opposed by oberni wan Kenobi. An increasingly icky and ever escalatory pantomime of the dumbest parts of human history. I’m tired.

I’m a waiter, that one Saturday could be 25% of my monthly income. It should be a national holiday

This was my exact first thought

As an american, please don’t enable our crazy fascist cucks by electing your own. You guys deserve better.

I used to be super anti-gun growing up, but here in Arizona and other red States specifically it seems like you’re in a sort of arms race by default. The nutters aren’t giving theirs up so it seems kinda naive not to have your own and know how to use them.

I dig icon packs and tooling about with themes. Hidimari is a great live wallpaper program that even allows for streaming into your desktop (critical that you disable during full screen or your resources are munched). I for a bit had a hollow knight ost YouTube video that would just play in the background during idle.

MMW Next Monday “Anyone at pentagon still talking about signalgate unceremoniously relieved of duty” or something to that effect

It boggles the mind. Maddening stuff.

The homie, thank you.

That’s a reference to the original. Some of it is loans but yeah. Seems a little wild doesn’t it? I find it even more alarming the power he’s been given over the agencies that are supposed to regulate his businesses.
