It's a parent kind of fun to appropriate youth slang and use it wrong so that the kids find it cringy.

Now Sauron's lust and pride increased, until he knew no bounds, and he determined to make himself master of all things in Middle-earth, and to destroy the Elves, and to compass if he might, the downfall of NĂºmenor. He brooked no freedom nor any rivalry, and he named himself Lord of the Earth. A mask he still could wear so that if he wished he might deceive the eyes of Men, seeming to them wise and fair. But he ruled rather by force and fear, if they might avail; and those who perceived his shadow spreading over the world called him the Dark Lord and named him the Enemy; and he gathered under his government all the evil things of the days of Morgoth that remained on earth or beneath it, and the Orcs were at his command and multiplied like flies.

Maybe you haven't noticed it, but many people are deeply irrational.

It's been illegal for insurrectionists who have betrayed their oath of office to uphold the constitution to run for office since July 9, 1868 when the 14th amendment was approved. There is nothing quick about it.

Everyone's afraid of him because of his mob and death threats, personal career consequences and the possibility that he comes back to power in which case all of the above multiplied.

Laying people off is a way to juice the stock price in the short term. So perhaps the "economy is booming" because of the layoffs?

It's only infallible when it's the message you want to hear. If the message isn't to your liking then it must be the work of the devil. Very similar to "he's not hurting the right people".

"Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that." Also, "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.". Carlin of course.

The republicans who own the supreme court, chosen by the Federalist Society, are not maga republicans. They might just throw trump under a bus if they thought there was still a way for Republicans to hold onto power without him

They need sex to be shameful all around. The more shame they can induce, the more leverage and control they have over everyone.

But it's a cou(sin) to do so

Exactly. They exist to give legal cover so that the risk of wrongful termination lawsuits is minimized for the employer

The most vicious persecutors are those who attack in others what they repress in themselves.

Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!

It's probably because the grocery store is part of a larger chain where most of the locations are in the burbs and the people who shop there are dependent on cars more than the city dwellers, and they don't see the point of not having the program rolled out across the board.

She's really crazy, like mouth frothing crazy. Watch her eyes when she speaks. It's blank in there.

Why?

Now that's a real shitpost!

If you can't self-accept then you might self-attack. But why self-attack when you can project and scapegoat?

Leaving a plague of abandonment trauma in his wake.

Way too cheap. You'd think they would have the decency to demand a higher rate for their corruption. It makes it worse to know how cheaply they've sold us all out. I'd call them whores but I don't want to insult whores.

Well, its much better than cockroaches

Assuming this is true it really says something about those who rise to run large tech organizations. Bankman-Fried is accused of the same thing

It's not always a lack of intellect on their part. Its the primacy of emotional processes like fear such that intellect is subordinated to those emotional processes.

I might be remembering wrong. Push Ups does sound right too. It was 45 years ago. "I was there ... When the strength of men failed"

Musk was bald but too vain to wear it well.

Great answer. You want to keep on that home maintenance and not let it get too bad. Reconstruction is crazy expensive.

One can only hope

"Enshitification"

I don't know a thing about this game or its many ports but I want to express gratitude for the love that went into making this post. Thank you, you taught me something!

Not disputing what you've seen, but I've been looking at all and have not seen anything like that. Where are you seeing it?

I know why. All things must pass I suppose including the soul of Reddit.

Now do it with beans and jeans

Once a patient enrolls in an advantage plan they lose the ability to see any physician they want. They also lose payment based on "medical necessity" which means if your doctor thinks you need the care medicare will pay for it. Advantage plans can and do deny care they don't want to pay for and also deny care by artificially restricting the number of providers you can see . These plans look good but they are really bad news as care isn't there anymore when you need it.

If you are not inclined to want fascist leaders, and assuming you are a person and not a troll, how do you imagine ceasing to support the less fascist party during an election year will result in less fascism?
