The only way to destroy Trump is through a long series of viral propaganda documentaries.

Not good ones. Shittily produced ones that get hosted on Vimeo.

Idk, can’t we fantasize about how Thomas could be hung like a black man?

You must not be American. Everything here is better with cheese.

Eggs? Cheese.

Toast? Cheese.

Bacon? Cheese.

All of the above combined, you got a sammich.

Coffee? Cheese.

Gun? Cheese.

I think such a thing is like a lightsaber. Building your own is a rite of passage.

I think the problem is, if Dems do it first, they’re not better than the Republicans.

Unilateral dictatorships are unilateral dictatorships no matter who does it.

You can’t win in a game where one side insists on cheating and one side insists on following the rules. Our system of governance wasn’t designed for this level of factionhood. It should and could’ve been stopped the right way maybe 20 or 30 years ago. At the least, 8 years ago. And the very last chance was when Trump’s second impeachment made it to the Senate.

But now, there’s no chance.

It’s not even really “cheating” that the Republicans are doing. Most everything is getting a “legal” stamp of approval. Just in a shady way that clearly and defiantly goes against everything this country has ever been about.

Hey I know another politician who was pretty popular for his time that did the same thing. Bright young man with a funny mustache.

Yes but could you stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody?

Could you publicly ask a foreign adversary to hack and release a political opponents emails? Or ask a group of white supremacists to stand by?

Could you grab a lady by her vajayjay?

He doesn’t. Impeaching judges is the House’s job.

You know your house rep is up for election this year?

FL would’ve been a landslide and the courts wouldn’t have even been asked if the greens voted for Gore.

Not like they used to, mostly. They just replaced “contract” with “equipment payment plan”. Because $50/mo for 24 months is easier for a consumer to swallow than a lump payment of $1200, especially when the carrier is giving you a $10 or $20 (or more) “discount” on the phone.

But as long as the EPP is active, the phone is locked to that carrier. And I think that’s fair. No different than the bank holding the title while you finance a car.

The thing is that the plans that have these equipment deals are significantly more expensive than others. Namely big name plans like TMo or Verizon, compared to MVNO plans like Mint or Visible. So you end up paying more for the plan because you get “a deal” on your phone (but still end up ultimately paying more).

The Republican party wouldn’t exist if everybody voted. That is a straight up fact. As fucked as our election system is, they are far enough the minority that if everyone got out, the EC wouldn’t matter.

You want a “left light” and a “true left”, you aren’t going to get it by abstaining, or by voting for nonviable moonshot third-party candidates. You are going to get it by abolishing the far right party and making that tiny sliver of the whole population realize that their antiquated views aren’t welcome here.

They need to be crushed.

They only exist because people don’t want to vote for the lesser of two evils, so instead they just don’t vote. And what do you know, a -1 for the less evil is just as effective as a +1 for the more evil.

All of their success is brought on by feeding apathy in their opposition, making it more difficult to vote, destroying any faith in the system, and gerrymandering.

So yes, in my opinion, the far left refusing to hold their nose for a few minutes may as well be voting for the insurrectionist.

Detroit failed because of automation and off-shoring. Things that could have been repaired or prevented politically, sure. But not directly caused by policies based in bigotry and ignorance.

If any correlation can be made, it’s from white-flight. Which would be caused by Detroit’s massive loss of jobs and Florida’s massive loss of land. But white flight, imo, is the reaction, not the catalyst, of its downfall.

History has its eyes on them.

Florida woke and brown? Half the state literally needs to take a nap, and the only brown is in their Depends.

Pet peeve #209: implying DFW has a bigger furry scene than Austin. For some reason I doubt that.

If you give a mouse a cookie, he’s going to ask for a glass of milk.

If you save the cheerleader you save the world.

System76!

You mean to tell me, three days a week, they have to:

• wake up extra hours early
• pack a lunch or plan to pay for one
• put on hard pants
• drive their own vehicle in traffic, with their own gas and wear/tear
• pay for their own parking.
• do the exact same work in their designated space
• drive back home in traffic 9 hours later

All for the same pay and several hours away from my family, home, or bed?

No fucking thanks.

Going remote was the best fucking raise I ever got, and it didn’t cost them a dime.

I’ll start integrating the webhookers with Slack.

This is bad practice.

More accurately it should look something like this:

# Load sys library for exiting with status code
import sys

def sayHelloWorld(outPhrase: str="Hello World"):
    # Main function, print a phrase and return NoneType
    print(outPhrase)
    return None

if __name__=="__main__":
    # Provide output and exit cleanly when run from shell
    sayHelloWorld()
    sys.exit(0)
else:
    # Exit with rc!=0 when not run from shell
    sys.exit(1)
