Don’t forget all the MAGA bootlickers parroting their lies.

I can see things are somewhat escalated here and I really hate to be that guy but…

I was telling you you’re comments were useless…

I think you mean “your”.

I couldn’t stomach the taste of whiskey for years but I had friends who were really into craft stuff and I felt like I was missing out so I found something that was basically vanilla extract and learned how to enjoy other whiskeys from there. Now I’m a big fan

Ah, I see what you mean now. Sadly, a significant chunk of Americans are all too willing to let a demagogue do the thinking for them.

You assume he’s not intentionally picking his words in order to manipulate his base for his own political benefit.

Because we do not live in a sane timeline

I quit Reddit when it killed 3rd party apps to force people onto their shitty app and shove ads down our throats. I intentionally took a break from scrolling but eventually joined Lemmy 6-months later when I didn’t notice any profound differences in my relationship with my phone/the internet.

Walz started the trend and it resonated with and energized the base so much to the point where he surged to the spotlight from relative obscurity in a very short amount of time and ended up getting picked as running mate by the Harris campaign.

But then Harris’s campaign almost immediately pivoted to the classic strategy of, “damn our base, they’re going to vote for us anyway so instead let’s appeal hard to the right”, despite that consistently being a losing strategy over the last decade or so.

So they told Walz to shut up, just stand there and look pretty and cut it out with the “weird” stuff, it’ll alienate voters on the right. Turns out instead they just killed all the momentum growing within their own base while at the same time failing to win the votes of the weirdo cult members wearing ear pads in solidarity with their God king.

Not with that attitude!

Looking at the Wikipedia page on firearm related homicide rates by country, between 2014-2020 Australia had an average rate of 0.117 gun-related deaths per-100k inhabitants. On the other hand, the USA during that same time period had an average rate of 3.181 gun-related deaths per-100k inhabitants.

When compared, the USA had on average 2715% more gun-related deaths per-capita than Australia between 2014-2020, that’s 27x. This should make it obvious that the tighter gun restriction policies of Australia make a significant difference in contrast to the USA’s very loose policies around gun ownership, a far cry from “doesn’t fucking work”.

I’m a white guy and I genuinely love searing mouth pain followed shortly by burning bowel movements and it takes a real effort to convince most restaurants that I can handle the heat.

Because it’s that blaringly fucking obvious

Yeah well I charge the CBP with being complete and total fuckwits because apparently we can just charge anybody with any old bullshit now. I’ve got a feeling my charges have a better shot at sticking.

Big Brother can suck my dick.

Ackshully, it’s racist against white people to celebrate holidays dedicated to black people!

They also said that their invasion of Ukraine would take only three days.

Back when I was a teenager, some old hippie went on an entirely unprompted rant about not killing flies to me and my friends for what seemed like the entirety of our 30 minute bus ride. He said killing harmful bugs is necessary but flies are just looking for nitrogen so don’t kill them.

Eventually, everything becomes obsolete given enough time. I recently heard the reason these kinds of batteries are still around is because lots of things use them and the reason things use them is because they’re widely available. In other words, these batteries won’t be going anywhere until it becomes cheaper or more viable to ship low-powered devices with their own batteries built-in.

Next he’ll be forcing us all to drink dihydrogen monoxide, a chemical that’s known to be fatal to humans under certain conditions!
