It's just kind of safe to assume that at this point, Conservatism's only purpose is to fuck kids. I would appreciate hearing any arguments for Conservatism that do not contain the sentence "socially liberal, fiscally conservative" because in 20 years, not a single pair of people have been able to produce the same definition of what that even fucking means.
What, you oppose money getting gay married or some horseshit like that?
Sure, but, aren't we on the Fedi? Or, you mean, this specific cat is posted on bsky?
Who the fuck needs to "learn" Linux? it's an operating system. You just push the damn buttons.
A paycheck is a paycheck. Lots of us exchange our ego for daily bread — we have a club and everything. We meet every day after work at your local bar.
Oh yeah. Don't you guys also do murder scene remediation?
"Computer, fix this code and don't make mistakes."
What's this about bsky?
Yeah, but if I tax trillionaires, what happens when I myself become a trillionaire?!
This is something that, of all people, Ivanka Trump has kvetched about in private — her infamy, her dad's infamy, her company's infamy, her wealth's infamy, and not to mention, her husband's infamy — has essentially procluded them from any social circles in NYC. They reportedly left politics because every single one of their friends would refuse to engage with them anymore.
One simple thing that brings me joy in a dark world is that Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump can't make a single friend.
If I can ask, have you spent any time in the Rust Belt? Because I grew up there, and I can tell you that Americans don't actually want plastics manufacturing in their backyard, nor will they appreciate the lung cancer and COPD rates skyrocketing because some dipshit has misplaced nostalgia for a time you most likely didn't even live through.
For a time, I was quite close to manufacturing workforce development in the US. The dirty little secret that nobody who kvetches about American manufacturing will ever acknowledge out loud is that we have plenty of manufacturing in the US, but manufacturers have the plants in places where people cannot affordably travel, nor do natural American workers seem to want to actually do factory work.
They all say they do, by I can tell you from looking at actual jobs data that only 1/10 American workers who start at a factory job actually remain there longer than a month. To fix any of this, we all need to first acknowledge that maybe manufacturing doesn't exist as much because it's a shitty job with low pay, low security, and carries a high risk of on-the-job injury. None of y'all are gonna be lining up to be the guy who agitates the molten steel while it's being transported from the forge to the smelter. Do you know how many people were just encased in molten steel? Do you know how often we just sorta moved on without even compensating the family? Enough so that the American labor union practically began in Pittsburgh.
It's a real dumb idea but I'll be honest, I think all of us should have expected that when Chrome switched to an engine that doesn't allow for ad blockers.
I'm with the rest of the commenters on other threads — I'll just switch to PostmarketOS and make Linux work for me. Very little of what I do on a phone really requires "apps."
Bad Bunny is outside of my orbit, and I hadn't heard of him until he was first on SNL, but you can tell that he did SNL once and decided this is what he was all about now. He is very cute that way.
