All this insecurity about tariffs has me hoping he have a Boston Tea Party situation. If I recall the story correctly, they threw the expensive British Tea overboard to protest the tax.

Similarly, I also recall a sugar tax, and either an ink or paper one: basically, I hope I can see something similar to see there's still a small piece of American values from our ancestors (not the twisted Conservative heaven MAGA wants, but on the American dream of freedom, liberty, and justice for ALL.)

No Taxation Without Representation!

Guys, I'm starting to think Trump isn't meant to run a country.

I wonder what it'll take for for us to kick him to the curb by hand instead of waiting for the justic system to....not do justice against those who deserve it.

Then why the fuck do we not revolutionize and impose a 3rd party? I swear, I have to go down to DC myself to make people realize WE NEED TO GO OUT AND ACT!!! If NO ONE is happy with either party, we should be able to decline either candidate until we can all agree we found a compitent one. God, does anyone know of any revolutionary groups? I know the founding fathers didn't just declare independency and establish governmemt. They actually met up and planned how to knock these rich assholes off their thrones.

Call me insensitive, but shouldn't we be more worried about the terrorists on our home soil before fighting foreign lands. As in, every idiot who thought Jan 6 was a good idea. Because I can already picture the unhappy voters reaction whether Dems or MAGA wins.

2 have been fired at Trump, and they're investigating for Kamala.

And the worst part is: I STILL don't know who the bad guy is. Israel? Palestine? How should I know, I can barely process the legislation and corruption that was alllowed to pass on our home soil.

Anyway I hope to become more informed on this issue now, seeing as our leader HAS to know a solution. Even though one candidate shouldn't even be able to walk freely. And I hope everyone else does as well

Honestly, I wish he was shot down. He would've died, not as a mortar for MAGA that they were right, but as a mortar for democracy that citizens will use blood if their voices aren't heard. We need more harsh reality checks and protests demanding he faces justice

From what I remember, more republicans committed voter fraud last election over anyone else to ensure their "unbeatable god" wins

Literally. As far as I can tell, our country isn't in the grandest state either, so why don't we spend the time improving it instead of meddling with other countries conflicts? Lives are are at stake, and here we are debating and commenting about it like it's another meme on Lemmy. I don't care which side is the bad guy, but we're not helping if the country is about to split in half over our political views.

If it really boils down to this, how can one fight back? I don't wanna sit here and see these sad articles blow by, what can I do to tell Disney to fuck off. I did not sign up for this, I wanted to watch funny cartoons and superheroes like a normal person, and this is my reward? If suing them is futile, is storming their office and yelling at their corporate head about this any better? I'm pissed, and I can't sit here and wait for other legal heads to shut this stupid clause down.

I think my brain's inside voice has gone hoarse, anyone got any water?

Oh, I actually remembered an innovation they have done, make the cars bigger. Because for some reason, people will keep paying 1000$ monthly payments as long as their pickup slowly becomes a monster truck

I watched a video that basically points this out. People have already figured out how to make the most optimum vehicle about 10 years ago, hell probably before, but because we live in a capitalistic society, manufacturers have to keep "innovating" and raising prices and adding useless features that create more problems than convenience. Touchsreens in cars are a perfect example: 1 - At first they were used to display radio and connect to gps, but are now overglorofied phones that have basic car features buried behind menus and laggy screens 2 - Distracted driving was already a problem with texting and driving. So lets put a giant screen on the dash where you can watch Netflix (while I doubt you can while driving, the fact I still gotta look at a screen to turn my wipers on in a flash of rain is a major flaw) 3 - Its a new source of revanue, you'd be stupid NOT to put a screen in your car. All that juicy data, waiting to be collected and sold. If Watch_Dogs taught me anything, its that making our world smarter only makes us more vulnerable. 4 - We were able to get around WITHOUT a screen in our car. A phone mount, a bluetooth adapter, and a dashcam make my 2012 mini cooper feel like a 2025 modern smartcar. Sure it sucks that I had to buy the external upgrades, but I've still got modern conveniences like seat warmers, AC, cruise control, traction control. (The only feature I can give Tesla is Self-Driving mode, which is still in beta, so you're more of a test subject and not a paying customer) 5 - (This is a personal rant) A screen looks fancy, until you realize its actually cheaper to call it a software problem, rather than manufacturing dedicated switches. Making it even harder to repair, since your mechanic now has to learn to code, alnogside manual labor if a part is broken.

The only benefit I see in buying the latest car is if you're worried about the car being overworked. Aka its legit old and undrivable, but the way I see it, its cheaper to fix your old car over breaking your brand new cybertruck before its off the lot.

YES! YES! YES! THIS IS LITERALLY WHY I'M ANGRY. I DON'T CARE THAT THERE'S FASCISTS!!! WHEN ARE WE FIGHTING BACK? I WANT TO FIGHT BACK!

Based

I think thats the reason I chose black. Its somehow the brightest color

I'm in this pic and I don't like it

I think microsoft picked, "games (umlimited games), but no games"

I think today might be the day. I'm tired of every piece of tech's infuriatingly enshittification of things. I wanted to google something normal only for the AI to spout nonhelpful, sponsored links. I'm sick of it ALL!!! I wanna burn silicon valley down and start fresh at this point
