If nature has its way, soon we will all become crabs in beautiful carcinization. 🦀

I’m not sure how to feel about the fact that I can’t look at an image anymore and not find some way to interpret the vague shapes as Saddam Hussein.

I’ve got a Malamute mix, and yeah, it just never ends. There are definitely times where it’s worse, but you eventually lose the strength to keep fighting the inexorable tide of shed fur and you just accept that your house will never be a clean or sterile environment. Then you stop even noticing it until you wear fancy clothes or someone points out to you that you are covered in it. The roller brushes provide temporary succor, but does nothing in the long term. The Roomba will contemplate suicide. The undercoat rakes will never brush all of it out even if your dog behaves well enough to let you do it for the time it would take to give them a proper brush out every single day.

Which part of this is favorable for the Soviet Union?

Ukraine isn’t in a favourable position

Been hearing that take for 4 years now. At this point, you’re just trying to wish it into existence every time you say it.

Couldn’t agree more. That’s generally the philosophy I live by.

I’d hedge my bets too if I knew I had mere minutes to live. I stand to lose nothing and I gain comfort at the end, regardless of whether or not I am rewarded with some kind of afterlife.

“Good soldier. Now, here are your next set of orders: Stand right there on those gallows and put that noose around your neck.”

That’s what I hope they’ll say to anyone who tries to use the Nuremberg Defense when they get prosecuted for blowing up civilian boats in international waters.

I’m just a Helium atom living in a Hydrogen atoms universe.

You draw lines? I draw lines, too!

He has to get the to point where he thinks MAGA are too leftist before he ratchets over to the other extreme and suggests maybe a communist dictatorship ain’t so bad. So I’d say he’s at least 1 more brain injury and/or lead exposure away from that point.

Fantastic read, thanks for sharing. At a realistic interest rate, the savings per month are literally just a few dollars. Unbelievable.

This idea seems like something that someone who understands absolutely nothing about economics and doesn’t care to learn anything beyond initial vibes would latch onto, which is precisely why Donald Trump is pushing it.

One of the only things the Trump admin is doing that I actually agree with and have since I was a child. Fuck coins in general but getting rid of the most dead weight coin of them all is a step in the right direction.

You’re right, but he did say the monthly payment was the difference, not the interest payments. That typically doesn’t change throughout the life of the loan. I wonder what the math formula looks like for a 50 year fixed?

Isn’t that just renting?

It’s an imaginary wrench, because it’s still going to pass.

Boy, if only the spineless wimp dems didn’t cave, Trump would be in a fucking panic right now with the ATC situation. Instead, they delivered him a win right before he would have felt the most squeeze.

Yeah, this is giving me “disbanding the watchdog organization in Wuhan, China to save taxpayer dollars” vibes.

It’s this. A rational person would be fine with the court order, because Trump’s argument was that it wasn’t legal to continue funding SNAP.

But Trump and Republicans aren’t rational. They “lost” the court battle and now must appeal to save face. The subject of the court order is irrelevant - fascist ideology does not permit the autocracy to admit defeat or allow their absolute rule to be challenged.

It’s so simple and yet so damn infuriating. Why are people still under this spell even after everything that has happened?

If the sole reason you have a Costco membership is for the hotdogs, then I would agree, but for the vast majority of people the reason they shop at Costco is to buy items in bulk and save money compared to buying the same amount at the local chain grocery store.

It’s not even because the hotdog itself is particularly good. It’s your standard beef frankfurter and a fountain soda. There’s no magic with the item from a culinary standpoint. It’s the fact that they still haven’t raised the price on it when they almost certainly could have done so silently a long time ago and nobody would have noticed or cared. It’s the one act of upper management bothering to think about their customers for a change rather than just gouging every single cent they can get out of their members because some math formula told them that it was possible.

If they claim they know that these boats have drugs on them, they could just apprehend them when they made port.

But then they would have to actually find said drugs to use as evidence to prosecute them.

This is just extrajudicial murder, plain and simple. I hope Trump and everyone who is involved with this dies an excruciatingly painful death.
