The Snark Urge

Wrong takeaway

No, I just naturally respect people the more closely they behave like Calvin’s dad - biking mishaps included

Every democracy is just one bad judge away…

Biden fell off his bike two years ago. When do suppose was the last time the other guy rode a bike?

You’re right, I misspoke. Weasel wording is how intelligent people lie.

Literally every old person with a modicum of power or importance acts like this

The typical playbook is lie until caught, shield oneself with lawyers as long as that works, get a light sentence or none due to being rich, and then tell one’s electorate the whole thing was politically motivated persecution.

Of course I’m still new to UK politics, maybe the rouble has a different conversion rate here.

ridiculous and abysmal

I wish them luck

Guy came this close to completing a single thought without weasel words

They don’t want to be better. They want to be even worse.

You do you. Malls turn my brain into used coffee grounds, and parking lots are an affront to Thoreau’s god.

Nice of you to stand up for me and then casually say the craziest thing I’ve heard all week. Now how’s that supposed to make me feel?

I’m not going to argue with you - living as we are car-free now in a walkable city it’s unthinkable for me. But when I was in America, with a car and a baby, it made perfect sense. There were fewer viable third spaces (aside from parks, which is harder for an infant on a rainy day), and just about every viable third space (where we were) was built around car infrastructure.

All that to say you’re not quite wrong, but there’s nuance and the solutions are necessarily political.

Egad. Why are my fellow Americans so slow on the uptake?

Lemmy: This is rhetorical. I know a lot of the reasons.

I’ve been to this place, ages ago. It was the kind of place you would bring a baby to without a second thought. Crazy that it’s come to this.

It’s almost like “cancel culture” isn’t really how the world works

Thank you for helping me understand what it’s like to come at these games with weakness in my mind and piss running through my veins. Now excuse me, it’s time to play Noita (I cannot sleep until I’ve been humiliated by weak enemies).

Nah fuck all that. The working class needs solidarity forever. Solidarity, forever. Literally the whole rest of human society is against us and they’ve been winning the whole time, but we’re bigger. The only thing they really fear is working class solidarity.

Since the sanctions are helping, we should oblige Mr Putin and strengthen them

Shh

I sometimes wish lefties had that kind of solidarity. Remember what we did to Al Franken?
