Im surprised he allowed it to get community noted… He will probably have the community note removed because he’s such a soft bitch.

Eww, no.

I mean, sure, that’s easily arguable, but capitalism is currently the only economic system that incentivizes human greed and argues that human greed can be used for good.

How are we supposed to ignore a system that celebrates and rewards some of humanities worst vices?

Capitalism didn’t start accepting women, blacks, latinos, and LGBTQ+ because they are humans with intrinsic value to their lives simply for existing.

No, not at all.

Capitalism started accepting women, blacks, latinos, and LGBTQ+ because they realized they were leaving money on the table.

Some of those people capitalism was rejecting might be good workers, and if they’re a good worker, they might spend money, and if they spend money, the capitalists want them spending their money on their businesses.

Companies really started marketing to women once women were allowed to have their own bank accounts. Coincidence? Hardly.

Once the same thing starts losing them money? It’s out the window.

Oh they’re not gonna let pesky things like facts get in the way of this narrative, guys. Their ratfuckery hinges on it.

I think it’s rather more that it’s painfully clear to anyone with a functioning brain that Donald Trump and his campaign is once again trying to manipulatively present himself as in more danger than he actually is and falsely blaming Democrats for violent vitriol. Donald Trump is firmly the one producing all the violent rhetoric in this campaign. The worst the Democrats have done is imply that JD Vance fucked a couch, and when they did, it was clearly in jest and not serious. Yet he turns it around and blames it on the Harris campaign immediately.

So, let’s go over. What makes this a nothingburger compared to what Trump makes it out to be:

1. This guy who they caught with the guns previously voted for Trump, and had also previously supported Vivek, after he was disillusioned with Trump. He’s clearly not well, but he’s also clearly not a true and blue progressive who was pushed to violence by evil Democrats being mean to Donald Trump.

2. Trump was never actually in any serious danger, probably because due to the previous massive fuckup the Secret Service is probably actually doing their job this time around. Since he was never in actual serious danger, because they were doing their job, it’s as much of a nothingburger as the number of times that such a thing has happened to sitting Presidents. It doesn’t blow up the news because it’s stupid when they’ve already failed.

The better question is if anyone actually fucking cares? It sure seems like all those climate pledges are just out the window in favor of more money now. They’re not worried about keeping up the ruse. The people that run this world feel like they’ve given up on caring about the future at all and want to strip-mine the entire planet of value before they die.

Like those fucking Effective Altruism people who act like they are but are hiding sinister intentions saying “it doesn’t matter how many people we kill now as long as we achieve this great thing of an AI God who will save us from ourselves.”

Like, believing humans are so special that we can create an AI God that is smarter than us is somehow dumber than believing in the God’s of the ancient world. At least the ancient Gods weren’t entirely wrapped up in existing because of human hubris.

The rest of humanity isn’t asking for that or being asked what their opinion on that is, it’s just full steam ahead for the fucktards who think they’ve already figured out the future. They’re about as clever as the people who claimed human flight wasn’t possible, just because they’re going extreme the other direction from skepticism to belief doesn’t make them smart.

I mean, I’m pretty sure Sanders is well aware, but this is who he has always been his entire political career. He will try to make it an issue, try to make a stink about it, be ignored, and then later be remembered as being on the right side of the issue.

I have to say, I would have given up long ago, so it seems to me he’s a good egg for continuing to fight the good fight of trying to bring attention to these issues despite how often he has been ignored.

Do I think his way of doing things is working? I’m pretty sure it’s not, it could if there were more people like Sanders, but as he’s a minority of being on the right side of these issues, there’s only so much he can do to raise the issue and get others to care. While it’s commendable, you’re not wrong in seeing it as foolhardy and pointless because, well, it pretty much is. (At least not without a significant number of others at his back, which he does not have, politically.)

But it’s how Sanders has chosen to fight his fight, and it’s at the very least respectable, if unsuccessful.

They stopped that ad campaign about 15 years ago, and they started it closer to 20 years ago.

Forgive me, but to me not experiencing sexual attraction reads the same as “not being interested” because you don’t experience sexual attraction. (Why would you be interested in something you have no attraction to?) Cheers.

Not being interested in sex is different than not being interested in a game? That’s how I read it, anyway. Apologies if it came off otherwise.

I don’t play Kart or Smash because I don’t own Nintendo consoles anymore and haven’t in a hot decade.

I guess that just makes me old ha. An old fogey not in the streets or in the sheets.

Welp, you don’t get a choice, you’re asexual now whether you like it or not. Meme says it, so it’s true.

Be, uh, careful with that barrel roll.
