Everyone up in arms over this clearly just didnt grow up with ren and stimpy cartoons.
This is beautiful
On the other hand, that comm is like a spam folder for political bullshit. It’s all about “Chuck Schumer SLAMS Trump” or “What AOC Did At The Democrat Dinner Will Shock You!”
No disagreement that it's a trash community with trash content, but it might be worth asking if the community is shit because the moderator is making it shit
Mamdani is a fucking wizard. I heard some of this press conference - trump was actually defending mamdani against both liberal press and fox news questions
I want so badly to have been a fly on the wall for that meeting. But ultimately it does kind of make sense: they are both "anti-establishment" candidates in their own ways, and trump desperately needs a popularity boost.
Did you know that it's illegal to say, "I wish someone would kill the president of the united states"?
Im not saying it, im just letting you know that it's illegal. Like a public service announcement.
I had my energy company remove their LVTC smart meter this week after they started using it to shut off our condenser unit during our 100 degree days
The fact that it exists at all is bad enough, but they were doing this at a time when our AC was already malfunctioning due to low refrigerant. On the day they first shut it off, our house reached 94 degrees.
The program that the previous owner signed up for that enabled them to do this gave them a fucking two dollar a month discount.
I use a smart thermostat to optimize my home conditioning - having a second meter fucking with my schedule ends up making us all miserable. Energy providers need to stop fucking around and just build out their infrastructure to handle worst case peak loads, and enable customers to install solar to reduce peak loading to begin with.
The other thing that kills me about this is that our provider administers our city's solar electric subsidy program themselves. When i had them come out to give us a quote, they inflated their price by more than 100% because they knew what our electricity bill was. All they did was take our average monthly bill and multiplied it by the repayment period. I could have been providing them more energy to the grid at their peak load if they hadn't tried scamming me.
FUCK private energy providers.
Calling for the dissolution of Israel, or calling for a one-state solution without specifying equal rights for all people; Jewish in particular
This part floored me. As if it wasnt Israel that was currently denying equal rights to Palestinians and not the other way around... this is just the zionist version of 'all lives matter' bullshit.
Democrats are gonna blow it on a fucking centrist again
WHY IS THIS MAN STILL IN OFFICE
Between this and the other story earlier this week, its crystal fucking clear that he is not well. Does nobody close to him care about his clear brain damage from his stroke? It's like the entire federal government is weekend at bernie's and the whole thing is being run by staffers
You don't understand, their support of lesser fascism is necessary to avoid the greater fascism, so by opposing them you're actually supporting the greater fascism
My favorite moment as a camp counselor for twice exceptional kids was when an autistic camper got into an argument with another counselor about the historical/mythological accuracy of this movie (camper insisted it was a terrible movie in mythological terms), and eventually the counselor got frustrated and said "fine, go write me a paper on it" and the camper went off to bed
About an hour later the kid pops his head out his door and asked how long he wanted the paper.
The same kid ended up eating a laundry pod later that summer.
Just for the record, this is what democrats always do, and it's why they keep fucking losing.
Democrats would rather have trump than have a social-democratic platform, and it shows every time they have the opportunity to fight him and chose to capitulate instead. The democrats aren't a left-wing party, certainly not now, and arguably not since FDR.
I thought i was on c/shitposting for a second
