This is what I did… I tried to ‘just move on’ without blocking them, but they had commented several times in a thread I was trying to read and it was such a distraction, so I blocked them and only ever think of them when I see posts like this. It’s a shame too because the person I blocked did seem to have worthwhile comments, they were just too annoying to try to read.

The catch is it’ll be enshittified as soon as it can.

The crazy thing is millionaires have more on common with us normal workers than they do with billionaires.

I get what you’re saying, that they are millionaires are closer to being broke than to being a billionaire, but they still have more in common with billionaires than normal workers. Once you reach the mid to high single digit millionaire you can pretty much choose your own adventure.

Oh, I know … and that’s what makes it sad is because he could help to make the world a better place.

The Boone County Prosecutor’s Office told WRTV on Thursday that they are still determining whether the shooter will face any charges, the station reported.

I live in Indiana and if no charges get filed on this, and there isn’t a conviction then I can’t wait for the next election cycle when politicians start knocking on doors.

So that’s the thing… in the US even our poor are rich compared to the global poor.

But you’re right, people in the US making $50k a year aren’t really the problem. The problem is the people who have the average income of the 1%. That’s people making almost $500k a year. Which is crazy to think that the income needed to join the global 1% is so much lower than the average income of the 1%.

70 million people.

That’s what it will take to rid us of the top 1%.

Of course, if we’re going after the global 1% then that will be anyone making over approximately $55k USD per year.

Even if the House does pass it, trump won’t sign it.

home canned pickles.

But… that costs money.

And the fact that the US dollar is the basis for most economies.

In fact, a new UN wouldn’t even be necessary, instead everyone would just have to stop recognizing the veto powers of any country. But, again, that comes with other consequence.

The US isn’t part of the ICC and has veto power in the UN. The US is quite literally above the law and there isn’t anything anyone can really do about it.

That’s all the economy is right now, just pumping it up, shorting, then trump announces something to crash the markets, those in on the grift make bank, then trump backs out and the market recovers. Wait 4 weeks and do it again.

You need to read The Sphinx by Edgar Allen Poe.

It’s about a man staying in the country when he sees this gigantic monster off in the distance from his bedroom window. He freaks out about it and becomes paranoid.

Turns out it was a moth on the window. That’s what this looks like too.

Turn out your lamps Lemmy or the moths will return!

A study performed by one of the most esteemed schools in the world shows that people are dying needlessly due to this practice… and this is going to be the last we hear about it. There’s no one who has the power to fix this willing to try.

This study is from 2015.

Right?

I got into brewing in the early 2000s and loved it. Made some great recipes and always had a good selection of beer on hand. Then microbreweries started popping up everywhere, it was great … until I realized that I could buy a keg from a local brewery cheaper than I could brew it. And I didn’t have to do all the cleaning.

No regrets. I still have the skill and equipment, so if I want or need to brew my own I can, and it gives me time to pursue other hobbies.

My brother-in-law has a POW / MIA license plate. He lets people know that he was a POW in the War on Drugs.

Southern Florida shows us that the only way to defeat them is with alligators.

“We know how to take them out, General. Spread the word.”

We’re totally pronouncing that as “trump wrecks”, right?
