you guys are weird

you spelled Liquid Ass wrong.

the new one looks like shit.

hitler was a dictator, but trump is a dick tater.

It can be simply starboard and larboard.

That’s code speak for “STFU or we’ll release the pee tape.”

The spiraling deficit will just be something they ultimately blame the democrats for. The rubes will lap it up and vote them in again.

You summarize it perfectly. I am so disheartened by my fellow countrymen. So put off that I left the country and have no intention of ever returning there to live. When I see someone like Klepper interview maga, it is always driven home just how absolutely stupid and ignorant maga are. It’s really no wonder he got elected again. trump is indeed the symptom not the disease. I think the Leopards Ate My Face communities do a grave injustice because I see such communities giving people the false impresssion that maga is “realizing” something. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Many of my progressive friends are stuck in the “surely they’re all waking up”, “surely he wouldn’t try to do that”, “surely he wouldn’t get elected again” cycle.

I believe there is a third reason in addition to ignorance and hate: tribalism. whether it’s their religious tribe, or racial tribe, or sexuality tribe, conservatives tend to embrace tribalism more than anyone else. To them there are in groups and out groups. In groups that the law protects but does not bind, and out groups that the law binds but does not protect.

Ignorance, tribalism, hate, xenophobia, intolerance have always been able to take root in the minds of the weak. But when the oligarchs realized that the ignoranti could be a powerful tool, they became a product. Those millions of maga people you mention have been and are groomed continually to be tools for enabling the transfer of wealth. They are groomed with fear, misinformation, manipulation, appeals to tribalism, and appeals to uncertainty. They are groomed so effectively that they groom themselves and their own children.

Animaniacs huh? You’re in for a long celibate life. Put animaniacs in your tinder bio. The first rule of having cock-block hobbies and interests is to never discuss your cock block hobbies and interests. For every cock-block interest you need 3 desirable interests to balance it out. Take up guitar, hiking, and charity work to offset animaniacs. Then, mind the second rule of cock block hobbies.

Let me translate for you:

“This is the new pope.

His name is Robert Prevost.

He models Jesus in thought and action.

Maga have nothing good to look forward to.

Just another selfless caring individual in the Vatican.”

that’s what it sounds like to me and I’m an american

It’s amazing to me that companies still like to sprinkle the phrase “fast paced” into their job ads as if it is a job perk.

To me it’s just a big red flag. Instead of “Fast paced“ they should simply write “we cant retain enough staff, nobody knows what’s going on, and the whole place is a shitshow.”

Easy. Health insurers will pay top dollar for it

Well you can thank your fellow countrymen who voted for him and continue to support him. Trump is the symptom not the disease.

I get a chuckle with how in the US, physical violence is used as a metaphor for nearly everything

The problem with DDG is that when it doesnt find much it simply throws random shit at you. It’s infuriating.

Choo choo !

They cant just be buttons. They have to be well thought out buttons. My old toyota had 3 big round knobs for the heater controls. Could adjust it without even looking. My new Toyota has heater control buttons but they’re tiny and arrayed in a row like a tiny piano. There is no space between each button and they all have the identical tactile feel. Have to take my eyes off the road for a few seconds just to find what I need.

what trickled down was piss

Yes. Yes we are.
