I responded to a profile on hinge that said they wanted a man who yearned for things with, “I yearn for oncoming traffic does that count, lmao”

Unsurprisingly I didn’t get a match but I still wouldn’t change anything lol

Tbh a big portion is that we have nearly live coverage from a million different angles. Without that the newspapers would have said he was a domestic terrorist and we would have had no further information.

The real problem with Greenland is it being worth taking back. It has a population of 50k. The biggest town has a population smaller than all but the most rural towns in most countries. The expenditure of untold quantities of money and unknown numbers of lives to re-take it is going to be hard to swallow for most of NATO.

Please tell me the soldiers there call it “Pity Fuck”

I’m not doubting you in the least based on how successful this was but would be highly interested in reading a source for that

Was watching bombs exploding in Venezuela while the helicopters flew in, basically live, with my girlfriend. And she’s like, “Holy Shit we’re invading Venezuela!” And I just told her, “…nah, whatever we’re doing isn’t that serious.”

She asked how I knew and I told her “look at the lights in the city. They’re still on. And these videos are being uploaded over the Internet. And there are explosions but relatively few. That’s not how the US does war. If we were invading we’d have hit energy infrastructure and telecommunications first, and all at once. So this is probably just us taking out anti-air batteries and maybe a few military assets. So it’s something else.”

(Please don’t interpret this as minimizing how ridiculously illegal or pointless this was, because it’s definitely both. It was just my reaction at the time.)

They also act like US Corporations wouldn’t get a really good deal if they wanted to purchase the rights to extract some of the mineral wealth of Greenland to extract.

These agencies are clearly failures and we should cut all funding to them so we can pay double for half as much support to some private agency senator ___________'s friend/relative/donor owns!

I said the first time he was elected that, love him or hate him, you have to admit that he is an accurate caricature of America.

Weed is illegal and minorities get arrested for it more because Nixon wanted to create more felons to stop people from voting for Democrats. Because in his view mostly only hippies and minorities smoked weed or used other hallucinogens, and those people overwhelmingly vote for Democrats.

The slavery is a bonus, but that was the real reason.

The Internet becoming algorithm and bot driven was the point of no return I think.

It’s also winter and pretty much every facet of our society is designed to prevent it from occuring.

Mass Protests happened during Covid because everyone was at home. You can be sure they won’t make that mistake again, no matter the cost.

Ah yes, the famous prison yards where I can go participate in the slave auctions and literally purchase people as property. I get your point, but they’re really not the same.

The state of the prison system is awful but this comparison really feels like it minimizes the horrors of chattel slavery.

And also to get people accustomed to the idea of participating in mass actions. You don’t go from barely having protests to a multi week general strike in one go. You do things like this, first.

I knew I’d get this comment. And you’re not wrong, that is the case. But I’m referring to it being fully legal and accepted. Like open-air slave market level.

That path is dangerous, too. It’s currently what’s allowing states to deny abortions and I bet it would eventually be used to re-legalize slavery.

If it was your parent, definitely. They don’t ask about grandparents. I don’t know there’s a place on the SF-86 for you to insert this info.

Hours after this story published, a White House spokesperson said in a statement that DOGE did not share classified information ― even as NRO’s classified information was still accessible on DOGE’s website.

“DOGE did not share classified information, any assertion to the contrary is a lie,” said the spokesperson. “Yesterday the accusation was DOGE was not transparent and today the accusation is DOGE is too transparent. Stop the fearmongering, DOGE’s mission remains to cut waste, fraud, and abuse and are doing so with the proper security clearances and following the law.”

Lmao peak professionalism guys.

4chan memed about penis inspection day for years, but I never expected they’d get this far.
