they’ve been allowed to do whatever they want for so long they stopped trying to properly hide it very long ago.

now with it turning out the Democrats and Republicans are traitors to the Republic

excuse me? Please point us to the D traitors. If you’re talking about the two assassination attempts, one was from a maga family and spoke heavily of maga support in school and the other voted for T in 2016 and has made political donations to both R and D, in addition to being very clearly mentally ill.

Where are the Ds stealing and refusing to give back the most confidential docs possible (such as our nuclear sub capabilities and numbers…), where are the Ds deciding they don’t like election results and spread lies about cheating whilst losing 50+ court cases (some of which appointed by T or R party) because all of them had no standing/evidence. Where are the Ds interrupting the peaceful transfer of power for the first time ever in the history of the nation? Where are the Ds spreading hateful lies about certain minority groups acting like animals and eating other people’s pets? Where are the Ds who continue to rape and defame women while trying to take away their bodily autonomy so they can bleed out in the parkinglot while the doctor waits for the legal window where they can actually try to keep the pregnant miscarrying woman alive?

ah right, those are all REPUBLICAN traitors. FUCK off with your both-sides strawman bullshit, fascist bootlicker.

Seriously… Who gives a fuck if a good thing is being done because it makes someone money vs making someone happy? At the end of the day, the good thing happened. That’s a win. We live in a capitalist society, this should be a very common concept good or not.

Like seriously, who gives a shit if rainbow capitalism was for making money? It absolutely helped at least some (if not many) people feel seen and accepted.

“I would take this vaccine but someone created it because it would make them money so I’m critical”

In what world does that make sense??? As long as you understand WHY they do what they do (thus keeping yourself from being convinced they actually do care lmao), then its all good and take advantage of the good thing as it happens.

the kids are busy getting their politics from tiktok lmao ain’t no way they understand what’s happening let alone why in relation to what has come before

Nobody used the damn thing, but shuttering it makes them cowards? k

The fate of Mozilla is sad, I know one day they will announce a move to chromium.

why the fuck would they kill the thing that makes them money? Do you even understand what you are implying here??

There is, I just saw a post trying to demonize Mozilla simply because they had a few job listings for AI and Ad managers and the take away in the post itself was like “I see they have fully pointed the ship towards a future of AI and Ads”, like are you serious??? A few job listings is enough to paint the entire future of the company lol

this post is about Stein and the Green party, nobody asked for your literal whataboutism. Shows just how effective geekwithsoul’s comment is that you couldn’t muster a single word in response and instead turned to “b-b-b-but democrats!!!”

That last sentence with ‘blue maga’ says everything about what you support, no surprise all you have are whatabouts.

how many Ds have eaten with Putin personally btw?

According to various sources, Ukraine attacked an ammunition depot in the city of Toropets of Tver region, with more than 100 UAVs last night. The explosion occurred in an area where “Tochka-U” and “Iskander” missile systems were located. Residents are being relocated to the neighboring town of Western Dvina, where kindergartens and schools have also been shut down.

I’ve also heard that the losses may potentially also include S300 missiles, grad rockets, and the recently delivered Iranian SRBMs

Bulgakov noted that the full load of each storage facility is up to 240 tons, and met “the highest world standards”.

damn gab still exists??

I wouldn’t say wrong do much as call them shared experiences that are not unique to adhd

Waking up everyday wondering what batshit crazy thing he had either just said or was going to say that day. It was exhausting.

For you? Yeah it was exhausting, you poor piece of shit. For the media? It was the best goddamn four years of their lives. Every morning the people would rush to see what insane shit he did that day and the news media farmed the FUCK outta them clicks.

Not that the CBS executive chairman and CEO might vote for the Republican presidential frontrunner, but he likes the ad money Trump and his competitors are bringing to the network.

“It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS,” he said of the presidential race.

Moonves called the campaign for president a “circus” full of “bomb throwing,” and he hopes it continues.

“Most of the ads are not about issues. They’re sort of like the debates,” he said.

“Man, who would have expected the ride we’re all having right now? … The money’s rolling in and this is fun,” he said.

They desperately want to drag us back

The legal system here is one big fucking clown show these days. Far too many cowards too scared to do their job and hold powerful people accountable, which leaves a disturbing amount of judges to be opportunistic corrupted assholes that enrich themselves by enabling and protecting fascist resources.

The coup never ended.

straphangers

What the hell, I’ve NEVER heard or read this word in my entire life.

The first known use of straphanger was in 1896. Defined as a standing passenger in a subway, streetcar, bus, or train who clings for support to one of the short straps or similar devices placed along the aisle

I guess that might explain part of that… but I’m seeing consisntent uses from merriam webster’s recent examples on the web for the word.

Strangely enough there is a military alternative definition:

“Straphanger” seems to have a different, and negative connotation in current US military parlance. Since this is a militarily-oriented movie, it is probably the definition that applies.

In an article unrelated to Zero Dark Thirty, I found a reference to strap hangers.

"We have a saying in the SEAL Teams about the 90-10 rule. It goes: 90% of the guys that make it through Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training are solid Operators and go on to do great things. The other 10% are constantly bringing the community and their team down. We are always trying to cull the 10% out of the herd. In the military these guys are commonly referred to as “strap hangers”....grabbing at the straps of the good men that participated in this operation."

How fucking pathetic must you be to go out of your way to suck DonOld’s dick just to spit it out when he misgenders you lmao

Astrogoblin just finished a playthru of this classic

How does this belong in memes??? thete isn’t a single meme able thing in this image, it’s not funny or interesting either. It’s brain dead fanboy fullshit, as many in the comments have shown.

Lame as fuck

Absolutely, well put!! It’s honestly sad in my eyes

I’ve given up especially when it comes to Linux vs Mac on the topic of open source. People will have such a violent reaction that they cannot possibly consider Apple as anything else but the literal antithesis of open source.

if you think Apple has a place in open source, you’d be right, but you’ll also get attacked for it because Apple bad.

Only a handful of months ago Apple released open source AI models that run on-device.

It’s so obvious over many years that Apple has always gotten their hands dirty in the open source world going back to even before the birth of OSX, both with use and contributions, yet this is stomped out by the notion of expensive and elitist Apple could never and would never actually bother contributing to open source codebases

Why must they be killed, surely they can be moved. You’re gonna be moving them anyway dead or alive.

pretty sure the latest blow to the ceasefire and thus the latest to walk away from the table as you put it, was Hamas adding yet more terms, but okay.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/09/07/biden-ceasefire-gaza/

President Joe Biden’s months-long push for a cease-fire and hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas has been upended again in recent days, putting the deal on life support as U.S. officials say they are reassessing next steps after they initially hoped to present the two sides with a “take it or leave it” proposal in the coming days.

The latest obstacle — the abrupt introduction by Hamas of a new demand surrounding which prisoners Israel would release — underscores the frustrating, often excruciating process that has preoccupied top U.S. officials, and Biden himself, for nine months. At several recent points the United States, along with Qatar and Egypt, believed a deal was within reach, only for Israel or Hamas to derail the talks with new demands that set negotiators back weeks or months.

Obligatory fuck the IDF and Bibi and Hamas. Reminder that hostages and killing said hostages are also warcrimes, disgusting acts on both sides. No this isn’t whataboutism, it’s not an excuse but it simply is not just about the piece of shit IDF. Hamas has responsibility here as well.
