Keep pushing that fascism negotiating centrism that has pulled the Overton window so far right we actually put a fascist in the presidency and got a compliant congress and court, though. Good thinking.

Yeah I married one that has always been loud af and ready to scrap with anyone, especially me.

It’s true, I used to be a yellow jacket

Oh hell yeah

Negative, ghost rider

You prefer the right side ear hole? Weirdo.

None of y’all are horny looking at this?

And hate groups know there’s a loneliness epidemic and that humans have a lizard brain problem where our brains literally panic and sense impending doom if we feel like the human groups have ostracized us, kicked us out into the Savanah to survive on our own, so they utilize that to recruit with propaganda and in grievances that speak to the lonely and then welcome them with hateful ingroup “jokes” and repetitive beliefs that lead to radicalization.

Yeah but it’s gotten better. When I was a kid in the 70s/80s almost everyone just locked their dogs outside in the back yard and didn’t consider them family like they do now. I mean, it was their dog, yes, like sorta family, but these days almost everyone literally considering their dogs actual family, and most probably think of them in terms of being akin to children and best friends. They used to be just property and tools to a lot of people. That applies to lots of animals now, people are getting more compassionate and evolved with their theory of mind in animals. Insects, reptiles and fish are starting to sneak into that evolution as well.

The Murdochs, who own the post, have been at the anti-climate science game so long I can’t remember a time in my life when it wasn’t this way.

Why bother your bosses too much, that’s how you get canned

So a black hill.

So we really like you and we were wondering

The guy robbing the bank letting me grab a sucker and leave because my shoes indicate I’m not in the class he’s mad at

You can tell when the corporate establishment really doesn’t want a candidate in by a sudden rush of this type of oppo research being pushed in all the corporate media outlets and simultaneously by all the social media outlets.

WE DONT WANT YOUR THIN ASS PLASTIC, COVERED IN TOUCH SCREENS JJ ABRAMS TOO HIGH TO SEE PEDESTRIANS BULLSHIT, JUST GIVE US NORMAL FUCKING CARS THAT DONT COST THE SAME AS A HOUSE

Which I might be more accepting of if we limited how much can be pooled into political contributions, and produce some system to divvy up those monies amongst candidates, and every time citizens fund energy companies they also get a stake in their companies. But instead we just get legal corruption, subsidize the profits and socialize the losses.

Right? Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of your own predictable greed and corruption

But but but Biden’s kid, so it’s okay! /S

I don’t have a crystal ball, but I do know this - oil reserves globally have been sinking fast, with levels predicted to reach near or actual zero by July, just in time for the traditional yearly mass travel period for Americans. Crops have been planted in half their usual numbers because of a lack of affordable fertilizer, and those crop shortages won’t be seen or felt until fall and winter at the earliest, but will be felt hard in winter and next spring, thanks to how crops and agricultural production works. Gas will continue to climb in prices, goods will continue to climbs in prices, until they’re unaffordable or there’s runs on necessary goods and perceived wants/needs. Then will come the lines. Then will come the anger when people go home without enough, or without any.

So will they riot? Maybe not. But people have become much less social and community oriented since Covid, and since the attention economy has used algorithms to make people more extreme and more narcissistic than they were during shortages in the 70s and 80s, so i can tell you this - it won’t be pretty, whatever happens. It won’t be business as usual. Trust this old person. I know people, and I know the industries that are about to fuck it all up, after decades of warnings about just this kind of nexus of events in a perfect storm of shit.
