It’s all good, Mr president, I gotchu.

People fucking HATE you. Like really really fucking HATE you.

I really wish the mainstream media would describe this with historical context. Alfred Hugenberg gutted the German bureaucracy when hitler took power to allow the Nazis free reign, and that is absolutely the point of DOGE today.

A fair point, and head shots are notoriously difficult. Low center mass will hurt like fuck even if the armor goes down that far.

I quit smoking and drinking a year or so ago and I’m no happier than I was before I quit.

Ooh, look at these fancy assholes who expect to “retire” someday!

Remember when democrats got all heated about G Gordon Liddy saying “if the feds come to your door, shoot them in the head” (to account for body armor)?

I don’t know why that popped into my head just now.

I can’t recall if it was in the Behind the Police miniseries or a more regular Behind the Bastards episode, but there was a breakdown of how even once you’ve completed the police academy, you have to train for a year (IIRC) under a training officer, and if the TO thinks you’re not cut out for the force, you are not permanently hired, and other forces will probably not give you a chance. TOs, by the bye, are typically drawn from officers who have been taken off normal duty due to numerous complaints, like the ones made by people who have been harassed or assaulted by cops.

It’s not just the academy, the whole system selects for bastards.

Get ready for bacon as a meme again and 3-for-a-dollar ham sandwiches.

I think after decades of the term “oligarch” being used in popular culture and nationwide news coverage, people in the “forgotten middle” know what oligarchy is. She’s doing the exact thing “liberal elites” get accused of doing all the time which is insulting her constituents’ intelligence.

Today in “DUH”: blame the aggressor for the war they started.

It is hard to read that kind of statement without thinking about a wide variety of toys and things to do with them.

Hypocrisy is the water conservative “Christians” swim in.

Talk about complying in advance.

I never became a discord guy, but it seems like IRC (not federated the same way lemmy/mastodon/etc are but functionally similar) would meet the requirements.

The forest garden description is very similar to what I have seen described as a “permaculture forest” elsewhere.

I’m glad some of the justices finally located their consciences, but I’m afraid this will end up being too little too late.

No, it’s one of the first Linux distributions

I’m not vegetarian but this looks amazing and I’m going to give it a shot.

I struggle with suicidal ideation every day, so…maybe?

As a tall white guy who doesn’t like guns, spy/courier is probably the way for me.

Maybe smuggler, I can drive very normally.
