Voters aren’t his problem. His problem is there’s no way daddy ever puts Kendall in charge of the company, ever.

Remember when presidents had to do financial disclosures before they could even get on the ballot

Edit: remember Jimmy Carter’s peanut farm

If I sing the Russian national anthem it doesn’t become an American anthem because an American is repeating the words

Edit: you cant muddy the water fuckface. Russian propaganda is still Russian propaganda idiot

How do people manage to invent intricate phrases?

It seems like nowadays no matter what you do there’s a word for it and it’s probably considered something horrible by someone somewhere.

For the set of all things, there is usually someone who doesn’t like said thing, yes. That is how people and things tend to work, since there are so many people and so many things.

The tone of this post makes me think you did something shady lately and you’re laughing off getting called out. And who’s unironically saying ‘kts’ in 2025? Cringe

How to make democracy more resilient to external bad actors is an open and very important question.

Maybe our descendants will figure it out the next time they implement democracy.

They still don’t realize

This is just too much benefit of the doubt. They know what they’re doing, they know why they’re doing it, and pretending otherwise is just continuing to participate in a shitty farce.

They know. They don’t give a shit. They would rather fuck their own grandparents to death than admit that the other side of the aisle could be right about anything, ever.

Seriously. They would fuck the blood out of grandma’s cooling body if it made a gay person or black person even mildly uncomfortable for a few seconds. The hate is the only thing that matters. The hate is everything to them.

If an exxon executive says it it must be true

In these difficult times I find that all I need is spending some time with my loved ones, enjoying my old favorite media and games and sharing them with my daughter, and nightly cuddles from my beautiful monster of a cat while I read web serials to unwind.

Well, those things and also cannabis and escorts. And pizza. Keeps me going.

Yep. “Oopsie, our operations `inadvertently’ created some more martyrs for the cause. well, time to keep bombing more babies”

Don’t worry she’ll find a way to blame Obama

It’s better to be pissed off than pissed on

I missed when reddit had more porn so here I am

Dude I don’t care whose name is on the building, it’s the same effective ownership

Advance Publications https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_Publications

Advance Publications, Inc. is a privately held American media company owned by the families of Donald Newhouse and Samuel Irving Newhouse Jr., the sons of company founder Samuel Irving Newhouse Sr. It owns publishing-relating companies including American City Business Journals, MLive Media Group, and Condé Nast, and is a major shareholder in Charter Communications (13% ownership), Reddit (42 million shares), and Warner Bros. Discovery (8% ownership.)

Potato, potato

Reddit is owned and controlled by a corporation (Condé Nast.) They disabled 3rd party Reddit apps to force people onto the official Reddit app which also broke many third party moderation tools. This disproportionately impacted power users, frequent posters, and mods-- in other words, the people who made Reddit the important community it was.

They showed an unwillingness to listen to their community or work with the unpaid volunteer moderators, instead banning the moderators who took part in the Reddit Blackout and replacing them with mods willing to cooperate with the enshittification of the site.

They’ve been mangling the web interface to be uglier and less usable (old.reddit.com is still up, but the mobile version of old.reddit.com is gone). They’ve been experimenting with ways to show more ads and subtler ads.

Lemmy is open source and federated so it can’t get bought up by a company and cored out for shareholder value. You can use different instances, or a variety of apps. You can use (or create your own) third party tools for accessibility and moderation.

Lemmy is currently a smaller universe than Reddit was, but it has a high ratio of good posters and moderators who care personally about their own communities, so hopefully it continues to grow.

The difference between referring to "<discussion-relevant adjective> people"and referring to people as “<an adjective used as a noun>” is one of those things you can’t unhear once you start hearing it, too. It reduces people to a particular facet as though it’s the only thing that matters about them.

When somebody says something like “the thing about blacks is…” or “I work with a bipolar, he always…” it makes one clench: the thing about to be said is definitely going to be ignorant and possibly hurtful or bigoted. Just say “<adjective> people” or “people with <condition>” if you don’t want people to automatically assume that you view people only as what you perceive as their most important attribute.
