I think his educational qualifications were as an environmental lawyer. But failson fits him on both a practical and spiritual level, though king of the crackheads would also work.

This looks so bad, like uncanny 3d porn bad.

The nature of non-traded and private stocks can be debated for days, especially when you get into the minutiae of stuff like mining stocks for example where it can represent the payout to workers, investors, and owners at the end of a season. But what has made itself evident is that the stock market should not be allowed to exist as it is. Maybe it can be devolved back into resource stocks but that’s just getting into your contract loan/payout idea.

Stocks aren’t necessarily a bad thing since they in theory represent abstract ownership of a thing. Perfectly fine when privately held, it becomes an increasingly problematic thing when. Traded on an open market though.

Also in the case of the Saudis also useless. I think the only competent Arab states are Oman and Jordan. As I understand it Yemen is too fractured to really be counted one way or another, even I am tempted to add them to the list.

Personally I think this is a Yugoslavia type situation. Better to just dissolve it all and contain all the stupid shit to one country, who’s the Serbia in this situation though since all the old regions of the US outside of the Carolinas are ambivalent at best towards this shit.

Good things done for bad reasons are still good. Would you rather have a reaper who protects life so as to har est more souls or life who cleanses all so as to raise the value of what survives?

They’re making Americans root for the current Iranian regime which would be inconceivable in most other circumstances. Seriously I’m pretty sure Vietnam was more popular at its end than this.

Nah too little. Give them Maine, the region barely sided with the revolution to begin with.

And/or demolished and rebuilt if it’s been fucked with too much. Pretty sure the Whitehouse may have to be gutted and rebuilt again.

So what you’re saying is that it’s Reagans star wars program? A way of forcing unsustainable growth into a rival power at effectively no cost. Ya know history doesn’t repeat itself but it does rhyme, so what will the US equivalent of “Mr. Gorbachev tear down that wall be”? Or will it be more a wailing from inside the Whitehouse bunker as mustard gas is pumped in and the doors welded shut.

No I brute forced it via shit throwing.

Unfair comparison, Zapp Brannigan is at least charming in his assholeness. Kegseth sets off my fight or fight instincts.

But here’s the upside. They’re so incompetent that if they encounter armed opposition first it’d be like the SS going up against the Dutch or Norwegian military remnant resistance cells, that is to say abject slaughter.

Rickroll link I’m pretty sure.

For a minute I got confused by the term WPA since where I am all that shit gets blanketed under the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps). But yeah bringing that shit back on the state level at least could do a lot of good, doesn’t even need to be all that hard of work, for example having a bunch of guys walk through a river during the dry season (I’m from SoCal the rivers are dry as bone during the summer) picking up trash and marking shit for maintenance. Not hard work but slow work that requires a good bit of manpower.

If you want them to do something fun IDk get volunteers and launch an extermination campaign on the local boar population or something.

The only time I’ve even seen the fediverse pop up in a search was when I was doing some black magic nonsense getting Linux to do what I wanted. Yes it was a Linux community no it didn’t help.

Hey now let’s be fair, not all of it is AI propaganda. Some of it is shrimp Jesus. Mind you that also started as propaganda but it’s since devolved into something so much more fascinating, namely because how the fuck do you even get to shrimp Jesus.

Getting Lemmy instances taken down due to us going nuts and perpetually fed posting does nothing but help shitholes like Reddit, Facebook, and Xitter.

Pretty reasonable for mine. Encouragement of self harm and all that, not like I feel sorry. Would probably say far worse to the profligates face, know damned well that I’ve said worse to actual humans I care about.

Regardless the mods still have to watch their collective ass, letting Lemmy as a whole devolve into a bloodlusted fuckfest could cause problems.
