It was really sad reading a post on Reddit yesterday where they were applauding the Republicans for moving $2 billion in benefits for veteran housing… How did they forget about the $22 billion that just got cut for veteran medical benefits?

I’m constantly reminded that Socrates was correct and that democracy has too many unqualified and uninformed voters and will give rise to demagogues.

Well how the fuck do we get this ball rolling? I’m ready and it feels like a load of others are ready to fix this too.

Yup, like almost every modern amenity is from socialism. All capitalism has done for me lately is… Umm… What the fuck has capitalism done for me lately?

Yup, that golden age when we came back from the depression was because of socialist policies FDR put in place and the rich immediately began to vilify (note these rich clowns caused the depression).

Socialism isn’t a boogyman, it’s the reason anything is working at all.

There’s just more and more of this lately. We give money to the govt, they fork it over to some company, they use money to make a product I have to pay for, again.

Sorry that’s just fucking dumb. Don’t bail companies out or give huge grants, make them compete for contracts and have the people own a portion to reduce cost to the US consumer. It’s socialism, sure. But at least we’d come out ahead instead of getting hosed again.

I installed PPSSPP on my phone and paired a switch joycon. Played through a few really good games that way when my kid required being held to sleep. I’d imagine you could pair one to your computer and find some games that you’d like.

This guy is informed. Socialism got us out of the hole capitalism dug in the depression. Seeing their power slip away, conservative politicians wasted no time in shifting the narrative. The US needs another FDR to equalize things (let’s just skip the prison camps this go).

Exactly. There’s a learning curve but once you’ve got it, you dread wipe only bathrooms. Installed a bidet on one of my toilets six months ago and now that’s the only toilet anybody in the house poops in unless it’s already occupied.

My only hope is that America slingshots back to Roosevelt era policies. Wild that this exact shit happened and what saved us? Oh social programs and high tax rates on the wealthy.

I work in corporate retail in the USA. It’s generally acceptable if you’re out of the office on a business lunch. Cracking open a beer in the kitchen at lunch probably wouldn’t have any immediate consequences but you’re probably looking outside of the company for a promotion.

A lot of components are scavenged for repairs. You’d be surprised how many POS systems run on XP still.

Exactly what I was thinking. While it’s a great headline the article is nonsense. What about early access? Did those players play any new games? How much time was spent afk? Were those old games new purchases? This is a cherry picked statistic and almost certainly doesn’t paint a clear picture or tell any story except “live service games work”

That’s the general conservative mindset. It’s why lies work so well on them, get them to believe the lie and they’ll never let it go.

Most people don’t hate BMW’s or their drivers, it’s a joke that they’re all stuck up a-holes. There’s similar jokes for people driving Tesla’s being oblivious (fascists too now lol), Nissan Altima drivers being incredibly reckless, Prius’ for always going 15 under the limit in the passing lane, etc.

I saw an e46 323 for $2000 yesterday, it’s also a cheap option here.

We need to form large groups of like minded individuals that have enough voting power to sway the parties. If a socialist gun club had 4 million members you’d have congresspeople and senators lining up for meetings like they do with the NRA or used to do with large unions.

We’re all isolated now, therefore weak. The more groups we form the more we amplify our voices. Most of us are voting “anything but Republican” not for the change we actually desire.

Stabbing is so passe. I’m predicting the new rage will be small pov racing drones with incendiary devices strapped on.

Don’t need line of sight, cheap, can train in the comfort of your own home.

Ah fuck yeah. Didn’t know this was a thing but I’m on board.

Ten years ago I would’ve called you a conspiracy theorist. Now however, I am in agreement. We need a new party for the working class because both parties are a bunch of filthy traitors.

We did pay for it.

We’re still giving Elon $80 million a day.

Just a reminder than the dnc knew Bernie was a stronger option than Hillary but gave her the nomination instead. The dnc only cares about your money, not your opinion.
