Kbin does that sometimes

Yup. The traditional American middle class is essentially an endangered species

Ding ding ding. It’s incredibly rare for authoritarian governments to disarm the far right. The police have shown time and time again they will not protect you, and that’s if they’re not actively joining in

We protect us

That’s a fantastic question

As someone else commented, the incumbent won their last election 87%-13% to a libertarian in a race where the GOP didn’t run a candidate.

I don’t think there’s much risk of that, thankfully.

At all times at least 1 step further than whatever Israel last did

If I have to have microplastics in my balls, then the fish do too dammit!

Probably technically, but I can almost guarantee you they quite literally couldn’t care less about two brothers sharing an account. They’re more worried about large groups sharing an account.

It’s something people don’t realize. We may be a scourge on the Earth, but we’re still nowhere even near the top of the list of worst things to happen to this planet.

As the other reply brought up, Theia crashing into Earth. Flood basalt events. The Chicxulub impact.

We may be able to cause some real awful shit, but we still are nothing compared to what the forces of nature can produce. And just to clarify, I’m not saying this to in any way downplay the seriousness of climate change, or that we should do nothing about it.

We’re clearly not going to get boring or normal, so yeah im cool with undangerous but weird

Ones here in the states vary a lot from place to place. Some places have absolutely everything, books, movies, games, tools, makerspaces (or at least 3d printers), computers etc.

But most city libraries outside if your big big ones are still relatively small. My local one is about the size of a small grocery store, real modest. Damn do the workers there pour their hearts and souls into it though, they’re always hosting events and stuff. Really appreciate our library workers. Main benefit is getting access to their network, which generally gets you a whole host of other stuff. Ebook rentals, audio book rentals, book transfers, etc.

It’s a shame what the GoP is trying to do to the American library system.

Everyone in general

And the scary thing is, a significant portion of the country will actively cheer him on for it. The dude could go into a full on fugue state, take a shit on the stage and start jacking off, and the MAGA dipshits would still be talking about how that’s somehow 4d chess

noted fascist is a fascist, more at 5

Guys I’m starting to think that this Trump fellow might not like democracy
