Don’t care how they got it.

Unethically, probably illegally.

A person can dream.

Make every company that has a whistleblower die in ANY way face extremely heavy penalties including, but not limited to: 75% taxing on all income for a period of time as part of a fine, jail time for executives, board members, and potentially large shareholders, potential nationalization of the company, etc

Make every company afraid to have a whistleblower die. Make them want to hire private security and pay for all health expenses to ensure the person lives because the alternative is the company ceases to exist in any way that benefits those in charge.

we can’t figure out how to take the mega-rich’s thumb off the scales of democracy/justice

Well, one of us did yesterday at least.

Having done exactly 0 research, I going to assume it’s one of those “DO NOT PRESS OKAY UNLESS YOU ARE EXPERIENCED AND KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING” and someone went “pffft I know what I’m doing. click now what does this option do…”

Sweet!

I’ve never been able to get into them, but I’m definitely buying this as a gift for someone.

Reminder that George Tekei is still alive and he was put in an Internment camp.

A dramatization, by someone slightly baked:

"This is my neighbor. I keep him from getting too uppity by basically making it impossible to live here, since because of Me everything is insanely expensive or they literally can’t buy it.

As anyone who works for me can tell you, it’s not MY fault I’m doing this. It’s because I don’t like the colors of their shirt. Blame the shirt. And everyone take a look at how dumb wearing this shirt makes you look! See what happens when you wear it? You end up like him EVERY TIME! For more proof just look at all these other people who’s shirts I didn’t like and also attempted to kill (allegedly wink wink) and see how poorly they’re doing. I’m such a good neighbor. Just ask my richer neighbor. And ignore anyone inside frantically shaking their head no. Number 1!"

Who could have done this? What entity or entities could have possibly benefitted from trying to get democratic polling places closed? WHO?

We may never know. Case closed.

If my eyes rolled any harder, they’d pop out the side of my head.

Comments like this are one of a few things.

Bad faith, and useful idiots intentionally trying to keep people from wanting to go out and vote, which only helps MAGAts.

And dumbass, blind as shit privileged people who think nothing has changed in the last decade because you’re simply not part of the target groups yet.

Life is so much worse for so many people because of Trump and to pretend like it wouldn’t get worse with a second presidency (you know, the one where they intend to destroy democracy and the voting process and have said as much and have documents detailing how they plan to do it) is simply idiotic.

Also known as “3 of the 4 stages of employment”

provided you trust your server.

You shouldn’t.

especially if you run it yourself. If you don’t have a loaded sawed off sitting near your server rack in case the machine spirit within grows too strong, you aren’t servering correctly.

I encourage people to steal non-physical things all day every day.

Sail those high seas!

People seem to think that the UN is a military force that is supposed to go in and secure democracy around the planet…

It’s basically a chat room for all the countries to talk for everyone to hear. That’s 99% of its job. And it does it quite well.

The problems occur when individual members decide “nah we don’t give a shit about the UN right now” and usually it’s the big ones that ignore it. Russia, US, UK, etc

Honestly there isn’t a legitimate reason.

Tldr “tradition” and insecurity, probably.

There was once a issue with Cuba a long time ago, but that got resolved and the US just decided to keep punishing Cuba as, in my opinion, a warning to other neighbors who would dare oppose it. “help out our opponents and get smothered”

The only reason it’s continuing is because of weak administrations thinking that admitting people who ran the country in the past were wrong somehow makes them or the country look weak.

Honestly the only thing that seems weak to me is continuing to kick someone who’s been down for decades but still manages to find areas to flourish and be better than the “superpower” that’s kicking it.

I have a WILD idea on how to reduce the growth of that statistic to 0.

What if, and bear with me here…

What IF… We stopped sending Israel weapons and armor.

Smh my head, it’s so obvious now!

Construction companies hate this one weird trick for quick jobs!

Damn, crazy how they had so many lined up like that and perfectly timed the demolitions for this shot.

That must have taken at least five full minutes of preparation!

I downloaded it from youtube years ago to watch on my phone whenever I feel like.

Hopefully I’ll be able to watch it in HD soon!

Yeah, not trying to poke holes, but I was hearing “less than 50 years left” when I was in school in the 2000s. I do remember seeing a post here and there about new oil reservoirs being discovered but never any follow up. So I suppose that could be stretching things out. But oil use certainly hasn’t decreased in the last 25 years.
