These lunatics will kill us all for their rapture fantasies.

Can we start calling their theology mental illness yet? They clearly need help.

Oh shit, who knew the Amish had such a presence here and post so frequently?

Thanks, subscribed.

Trump must have a death grip on this guy, considering he’s such a yuge pussy.

I’m interested to know if this was the case.

Totally secondhand info, but I used to have an ex-Amish friend who told me they often have a small shared outbuilding at the edge of their community that has a phone and a computer with Internet they can use in emergencies. She said some in the community were more liberal about the word ‘emergency’ than others.

(I’m a doofus who literally typed out ‘can any Amish on Lemmy confirm this’ then deleted it, though, so take my words with some salt.)

My loaf is stale. Is there something I can do, or shall I bin it?

That’s true, but trump is transactional. He and Giuliani were selling them for 2 million a pop. How many military regulars can afford one? Why should trump care to pardon them if they can’t give him something?

If I was rank-and-file, I wouldn’t take that bet.

Hilariously, many of these companies already fired staff because their execs and upper management drank the Flavor-Aid. Now they need to spend even more rehiring in local markets where word has got round.

I’m so sad for them. Look, I’m crying 😂

Ha. Asking a fascist to resign for fascist action in a fascist government. I mean, worth a try, right?

Wish in one hand…

I hitchhiked around the southern US for a while in the late ‘80s and, as a small blonde-haired, blue-eyed white girl, you wouldn’t believe what southern white guys were willing to say in front of me. It was appalling.

Ever since trump started gaining popularity, it’s all been very familiar. ‘Oh, you call everyone you don’t like racist’ – no, I call racists racist, and if this offends you, fucking check yourself. It’s not hard to respect people, and it’s not hard to not be a bigot. Just respect people, simple as.

Is it hurting you that people are gay? No. Does it impact your life that someone you’ve not even met is trans? No. So shut the fuck up and mind your own. Lord knows your own house could use some intellectual maintenance. Maybe attend to that before throwing shit at others.

He does, but anyone following illegal orders doesn’t. Sure, he could pardon them, but only after a long, expensive, and potentially life-changing legal battle after which they’re convicted.

That doesn’t sound like a fight most regular troops should want to gamble on.

Oh little buddy, it’s too late now. You’ve made your bed with Nazis, and it’s full of piss and shit, but now you have to lie in it.

If you’re not rich or powerful enough to float to the top – and you’re not – you’re going to have to deal with the Nazi filth. Too bad absolutely nobody warned you. Oh well.

Like in Pennsylvania, perhaps, where he all but admitted to fucking with the voting machines.

They fully believed nobody would call them on it, partly because of the path they’d laid with the media. And they were right.

And even:

Yes, Trump said Musk knows vote-counting computers ‘better than anybody’

He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide.

The idiot can’t keep his mouth shut and basically blabbed exactly what they were doing, yet nobody really listened.

It will never cease to astound me.

Hey man, they’re your rats, not mine.

Either start charging them rent or give me a discount for their upkeep. My rental agreement didn’t include a whole colony of roommates.

surprise wild rats

Found my new band name.

Punching Nazis is always self defence, since being a Nazi in public is an act of violence.

Tbf, some other countries are schizophrenic about it, too. The UK uses miles for some distances and km for others, metres for anything more than about a body-length, when it might switch to feet depending on context or location. That doesn’t even broach other (sometimes overlapping) units. Humans are* remarkably inconsistent considering how universally we talk about things relying on measurement.

That’s done intentionally to obfuscate the quantity, since most Americans can more easily estimate a half-gallon. It’s to encourage consumption.

Wait, your right or my right?
