You can beat the rap, but you can’t beat the ride.

Blocked for me. What does the first line of that link say?

The fuck we are

Nebula.tv is great, but won’t replace all of YouTube.

Alternatively, gather the IP addresses of family and use your reverse pretty to restrict some subdomains to that trusted list of IPs.

The downside is that when someone’s IP changes you have to update. Make sure you track which IP belongs to which person.

Hilarious. Should we tell Canada, Australia, China, and Germany they’re not rich?

What kind of mealy mouthed bullshit is that? I guess they don’t want to actually admit that they lied to the California Senate.

True. Thanks for that, .ml.

Oh yeah? What’s your beacon of a country? England? France? China? Russia?

The fact is we were generally dragging the world (in hand with Europe) towards better ideals, like equal rights for all, democracy, and eliminating low level corruption.

It wasn’t always the case, and was certainly in fits and starts. But in our absence I don’t see China or India having that generally positive influence on the world.

Yes, there’s room for improvement. But if we’re at a C while most other countries are content with an F, well…

USAID has done a lot of good around the world.

The Democrats could help put someone like Cassidy into the speakership. (But, you know, from the house.)

Someone who doesn’t say they’re running the protection program. Someone who will exercise the power of Congress as a co-equal branch of government. Someone who will stop ceding congressional power to Trump. Hell, maybe even someone who would help restore the independence of independent executive agencies.

Likely would be someone on the way out, but good enough for now. I feel like all that isn’t asking for much, just the basic duty of the job.

I imagine if you compile a list of the worst any country has done that it’d look a lot like this.

That doesn’t excuse anything, but all those things don’t add up to Nazi Germany or 2026 Israel.

We’re working on showing you what fascism really is.

Oh? Tell me about your country then.

There have always been issues. There was a lot of precursor to this. But there has never been anything this bad.

America was a beacon for the world, despite our violations and blemishes. Relative to the rest of history, we were leading the world ina better direction,.

Nixon was out after Watergate. You don’t have to bribe our doctors or our cops during traffic stops. While we’re having issues with LGBTQ, we were a leader in treating people with respect for a few decades. That’s our norm.

This is Idiocracy.

I would like off Commodus’s wild ride. Thanks in advance.

The “Secretary of War” went a decade without washing his hands.

This one is a distraction. It’s intended to distract from the methods they’re really counting on.

Because you have to pay a good chunk of a year’s salary for one, store it around your house somewhere, and then when you finally do get to use it, there are a million other people with the same idea and you have to compete just for space in which to use it.

And that’s before you get to all the maintenance the government has to spend on the paths (and make you pay tax for all that). Oh, and it’s incredibly dangerous, so dangerous that it’s one of the leading causes of death in the US.
