“are corporations whose sole purpose is to extract as much money from the masses as possible with no thoughts to anything else up to and including destroying the house it occupies in order to maximize profits to blame for the world around us? Or is it those dirty fucking people with all their bad gross nasty purchasing of the things the corporation shoves down their throats?”

I’m sorry but did a CEO write this?

I’d love to be able to repurpose my old kindles. I have 3 of them that have been gifted over the years and another two that I could probably just ask for since family members have newer ones.

Ideally I just want to have a simple ebook reader and nothing else for at least two of them.

The only issue is from the (admittedly small) searching I’ve done, they aren’t easy to root or install custom roms due to the software version or how new they are. I’ll admit I don’t exactly know what I’m even looking for.

I’d rather reuse things I already have than buy a new tablet just to read books on, especially since it seems like they’re just overpriced generic crap that all looks and mostly feels the same.

“THIS IS THE FUTURE UNDER SOCIALISM!!!”

literally a picture of the current world under capitalism, usually in the same country or one of similar quality of living

Uncaring?

You really think they don’t care how they ruin people’s lives?

Quite the contrary. They relish in the suffering. The cruelty, as always, is the point.

Fuck them sideways with a Guillotine.

Truth doesn’t matter, reality doesn’t matter, their OWN MYTHOLOGY doesn’t matter to them. Most of them haven’t even read their own manual outside the dozen or so cherry picked verses that they use somewhat interchangeably for conflicting messages, once a week for 45 minutes.

“Why are you so afraid of answering questions?”

“democrats answer questions like this every day, surely you want to prove you’re better than them?”

Get digs at their egos. At the very least, there may be one or two conservatives out there who see that and go “yeah, why IS he afraid of answering a simple question?”

"A great American city is on the precipice of being run by a communist who has publicly embraced a terroristic ideology,”

I’d love for reporters to start pushing politicians when they say dumb shit. Don’t just let them say it and then gawk at the camera like you’re Jim from the office or move on with questions.

“in what way are you concluding that Mr. Mamdani is a communist? Are you aware of the difference between communism and socialism, and could you explain how he is a communist?”

“what terrorist ideology? waits for answer In what way is this the ideology of a terrorist?”

Show that they have no idea what the words they spew mean. Show that they’re just using buzzwords that sound scary.

And then give the facts.

Can’t even be relied on to feed it’s people.

The biggest fucking joke of an empire in human history.

I fully expect the regime to announce they’re arresting ATC personnel who quit.

“well you see, it’s perfectly reasonable that he murdered a surrendered soldier, as he was just following orders!”

The “just following orders” defense still going strong 80 years later.

I’m sure it’s going to be used a lot in the coming decades, assuming the governments actively involved in horrifying human rights abuses ever see any sort of reform…

I hadn’t heard about this before this morning.

Now I want to watch everything that was going to be presented.

You know you’re winning at life and on the right side of history when you threaten people’s families to prevent them from showing an indie movie.

Maybe the chief should make the world a better place and shoot himself instead.

Shoot at my dogs, one of us will be dead very soon.

If I had the money and ability to trust strangers I would hire people to clean my house for me.

I love the loop of “feel bad for not cleaning - depressed - don’t clean - stare at floor - feel bad for not cleaning…”

On one hand, I have adhd and depression, and my parents definitely have at least depression. So I’m used to messes everywhere up to and including not seeing the floor for a week or more at a time.

On the other hand, I feel bad when someone gets in my car and I have to move one or two items off the seat.

go fuck a duck

Poor duck…

On one hand, I have a coworker who clearly angrily scraped his trump stickers off the tailgate, and on the other, I have a coworker who straight up held a nazi salute with an audible “heil” when he started talking about his favorite band, Rammstein.

Now I don’t know anything about Rammstein and their political views in general, but I’ve known a few Germans in my time and they all held very strong (negative) views on the nazi regime.

Most coworkers have stopped talking about politics and such in general during breaks though.

I have never heard anyone say they don’t like The Mummy.

The people I have introduced to it have all loved it, and only two people have commented on the CG looking a little dated.

And for some it was their “oh I might be bi” moment.

10/10 movie, any time I see references to it I have to re-watch the movie.

16 years ago a girl my age slapped my ass and said “sorry, I couldn’t resist, it’s so nice”

I still think about that sometimes.

Turns out “market forces” was just the heavy metal poisoning talking, they were just hallucinating magical economics.

Lead in gasoline and household products really fucked with some generations, hard.
