If you can’t pay attention to basic street signs OR your gps, you’re just gonna have to make a U-turn, I dunno what to tell you.

Admittedly he couldn’t remember it if he knew it because he’s senile, but he definitely was never aware of it.

It was definitely all those things, plus racist.

No, when did that happen?

They’ve been saying that too. You need to pull yourself out of the internet circle jerk.

Wait, you needed more than “not him”? Are you a fascist?

I dunno, one of them sent his personal army to fight trump’s personal army. That seems ballsy.

Really? It seems pretty up to date since he’s talking about something that happened in the last year or so.

So you want to watch a movie of people being tortured and deported and killed? I don’t get what you’re trying to argue here.

Alternate, simpler explanation: watching the trump administration in movie form isn’t fun. Fascism is boring.

Now seems like a good time to do a backup.

Unfortunately I can’t vouch for either of these instructions as I followed instructions from a now defunct privacy podcast.

That’s a mighty deportable first name. Would be a shame if people reported him to ice until they managed to find someone so ignorant they try to arrest him.

In general, yes. I’m not super old but there’s never been a time in my life when that hasn’t been the case. Hard to think of a developed country where this is false.

I mean not as much as Russia or China, lol

Audiobook shelf is great, and they have several good client apps in addition to the browser app.

No, fuck dumbasses who think a dash makes you a computer.

Nice attempt at both sidesing. I’m assuming you’re mostly focused on the us, so there is one party in power in all three branches of government and the other party has close to no power (the current shutdown demonstrates how the democrats are damned if they do and damned if they don’t).

In terms of citizens, a broad portion of the us population has spent the last 50+ years hating the government, but now that it’s small enough to fit in pants they seem mostly content.

Another broad portion has historically viewed government as trash but the only way to get things done that benefit the population. Since the government is now heavily focused on doing whatever it can to hurt the population (whether you’re a farmer, immigrant, elderly/sick, or whatever, this government is actively trying to hurt you), that portion is now unhappy but with no realistic approach to solving it.

My perception is that outside of 20-somethings, people are more or less in the same bucket they’ve always been in. Nothing going on here is remotely new. I don’t see any real change in people wanting anything other than the status quo.

Never be above that sort of thing 😍

Well to start, the effectiveness isn’t possible to measure at this point.

However, the comment had nothing to do with that, and instead was about you comparing attempted protests to “participation trophies” which is a conservative dog whistle for “kids these days don’t have that dog eat dog capitalist spirit, do we need more lead in the air again?”

For context, WW2 was faught and won with participation trophy snowflakes. If it was good enough to defeat Nazis then, it’s good enough to defeat Nazis now.
