Google the company doesn’t deserve to be a verb

And making sure to tell the USA how stupid they are at the same time.

A bit hypocritical, eh?

I legitimately thought David Copperfield was dead. Didn’t he die during an escape stunt?

Or was that someone else?

You’d just have the religious nutjobs get the thing shut down in the name of “saving the children.”

I don’t know what the Baghdad citizen would do though.

(In case this goes over people’s heads, I’m calling the Mississippians the religious nutjobs)

Crap, that sounds amazing! Any good resources you’d suggest for getting started with doing that?

Looks like 86" to play Untitled Goose Game.

The game with the least reason to play widescreen.

Fucking Tropic Thunder is such an untalked-about masterpiece.

Here’s the document:

AT LEAST READ THE FOREWARD. It very meticulously lays out their 4 goals:

1. Restore the family as the centerpiece of American life and protect our children.

2. Dismantle the administrative state and return self-governance to the American people.

3. Defend our nation’s sovereignty, borders, and bounty against global threats.

4. Secure our God-given individual rights to live freely—what our Constitution calls “the Blessings of Liberty

In plain language they want to:

1. Effectively make LGBTQ+ persons illegal, unable to marry, adopt, or even exist openly, nationally ban abortion, ban education about black history and systemic racism;
2. hamstring or eliminate a bunch of government agencies like the Department of Education, the EPA, the DOJ, Department of Homeland Security, and to eliminate many positions within the federal government or install loyal puppets;
3. close our borders completely, pull out of NATO and the UN, invest heavily in oil, coal, and natural gas while divesting in renewable energy and removing environmental regulations, and exert extreme control over tech companies and universities;
4. create school voucher programs which very much are to allow parents to segregate their children and use tax dollars to fund conservative, religious, private schools at k-12 levels, and eliminate social welfare programs. Also includes the contradiction of “champion the dynamic genius of free enterprise” and “include antitrust enforcement against corporate monopolies.”

The whole thing is full of conservative buzz words, “anti-woke” rhetoric, and contradictions about free enterprise while wanting to exert control over people and “big tech.”

But it’s also dangerous because they’re going to attempt to consolidate power to the next Republican president. There are complicated and far-reaching consequences to the things they’re proposing that would take an academic paper to get into. For example, Ron DeSantis just signed a bill making lab-grown meat illegal because of the “global elite.” It doesn’t make any sense, but it’s part of the reactionary, anti-leftist, culture war bullshit the Republicans are on right now.

That summary should be enough to show why this is so dangerous.

It’s so wild to me that the same people who espouse the second amendment to the constitution completely ignore the first part, where freedom of speech and freedom of assembly are.

If you love the constitution so much, why aren’t you supporting those who are actually exercising their rights?

Fucking right? We’re at risk of a president declaring himself Emperor of the United States and he’s not dead yet?

We’re at the precipice of becoming Russia where “democracy” is nothing but a veneer, where the people don’t have a real choice in their leaders.

Don’t. It’s people that are out of the loop (people that work too much, don’t care, people with busy lives, etc) who are at risk of falling for Republican propaganda about how bad Biden is and how good Trump is.

An informed populace is always for the best. It’s why Republicans attack education and freedom of information so hard.

Be thankful to be informed and thankful you can actually act on it. For now.

Oh my god, helping people! How political!

They’re banning VPNs. I have no idea why, but reddit is unusable at this point.

War is hell, but great for profits.

People don’t use these things as primary income. It’s an incentive to keep swiping because they’ll say to themselves “just a couple more and I can get a $5 gift card. I’m here anyway.”

And so they just keep swiping. They become addicted.

In medicine, finding out what doesn’t work is nearly as valuable as finding what does. Because finding out why it doesn’t work can lead to you the solution and perhaps even solutions for things you weren’t even looking for.

It’s already shit. They got rid of the ability to generate images with people in them over a month ago and still haven’t brought it back.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they insert advertising into it within the next year

When a fictional series becomes a documentary.

It’s fine for writing the President or your grandmother, but I’d avoid it for anything business-related.

I really wish sites with those stupid restricted complexity requirements would just say what they are on the login screen.

“We only allow ‘&#@!()’ because we don’t understand password security, you’re welcome.”
