Y’all ever heard of sushi? Pickled is overkill.

It’s shell or palm tree for me

The time has come… For two sternly worded letters!

They literally hire people just to make up these scenarios to hire more people to make up contingency plans for them. I feel like once a year an article comes out that’s like “the US has a contingency plan in case Sweden falls to communism and arms itself with nuclear weapons” and it’s like: yeah, ok.

Does it stay up? Yes.

Can you sleep in it? Technically

Does it have running electricity and water? (Optional anyway)

Another big win for vibe coders. Pack it up, we’re taking the W home.

Hot take: but this is going to suck. The tariffs were guaranteed to tank the economy and would be someone that no one who supported trump could staunchly defend. Now we’re going to get a decade of fascists saying “but the tariffs we wanted were never actually instituted so we’ll never know how good they would have been. That’s why I want to do this worse thing.”

Like, I understand that the liberation day tariffs were about to send the US into depression mode and I still kind of think them being blocked is a net good just cause of how bad we would have been fucked.

But God damn it’s going to be exhausting.

Any violent cat owner knows it’s: Wash with water!*

*If it’s convenient

This is just absurdism using the fact that there’s a new pope as the basis of the meme.

It could just as easily be him saying God says it’s ok to throw car batteries into the ocean.

This is actually very funny and telling. Mike Pence is on the side of the maga Republican elite who thinks Trump is just a misguided megalomaniac like all of them who’s just taking his turn at power and all he’s looking for is a little grease in the wheels to see reason.

What Pence doesn’t realize is that Trump moved on from him long ago after dropping him like a soggy sandwich for crossing him even once.

Filament died of cringe 😔

I think the tp during COVID was kind of a fluke. It could have been anything. Laundry detergent, some food product etc. TP was just what the news hung their hat on so it’s what everyone thought about when they went to the store.

I’m personally buying rice, beans, and lots of spices to make some delicious meals and wait out the price shocks of food.

Besides that, I mean what do you really need need when it comes to this stuff? I can think of a few things but it’s a very short list. Really we’re just going to have to ride it out and hope it doesn’t get bad bad

I don’t just forget the to-do list. I remember it 3 days in, remember what’s on it, and get so stressed about it I decide that I can just not look at it and it will probably be fine.

I get that the glib answer will be “so they can make money”

But what is the actual thought process they are pretending to go through here? Cause the experience of being a prompt engineer is not some sought after experience like how people pay to be movie PAs for free or work as an artist assistant.

What’s crazy is that it’s perfect. Getting rid of autistic people is exactly the intellectual purging that fascists want when they get into power.

I know not every autistic person is “an intellectual” but many transgressive artists and radical leftist college professors are autistic.

I honestly don’t even know what to say lol. How do you think anyone forms an identity ever? We have - I was going to type decades - but centuries of case studies and writing about why people get roped into cults of personality and insane belief systems despite looking like lunatics from the outside.

What do you even think is happening to these people? Based on your previous reply the answer is “I have no idea” which should tell you you should look a little deeper into what’s happening.

Maybe they’re too far gone, but you’re talking about impressionable young boys, like 10-16. At those ages we as a society agree that a lot of all childrens personalities aren’t dictated by their own choices since they lack the life experiences and cognitive abilities to function as an adult. Instead they’re highly impressionable, influenced by their social sphere and nowadays their social media feeds.

So sure, maybe you could say they’re fucked from the jump, but understand that they are not taking as active of a role in who’s forming their thought processes like a 25 year old getting hooked on Tate is.

That’s… Their point? Either you misread what they said or you wrote your response wrong.

Yeah, it’s like an AI parodied an xkcd comic.

I’m at the point where I know he won’t face consequences because he’s rich. But an arrest and trial would at least be sanity.

They know we know.
