God I hope the MAGAts all just eat each other and completely implode.

Yeah but the Chinese market absolutely flooded it with votes.

Sucks to be you, bro, but that's not a universal experience.

I grew up when cell phones weren't common, then flip phones were the thing. I didn't get my first smartphone until I was already out of high school. My life was improved immensely. Not just the connection that allows me multiple vectors of communication to the people who matter to me, and the ability to plausibly ignore communications from those who don't, but the absolute plethora of utilities now at my fingertips.

Do you even know how to balance a checkbook? Have you ever had to do it? In less than a minute I can see not only my bank balance, but all transactions going back months.

My teachers all told me I wouldn't have a calculator with me all the time. Turns out that was not to be.

If I need to know something, anything, ever, I have a device on my person that allows me immediate access to the sum total of human knowledge. Whether it's a question of what time the hardware store opens, how to fix a cracked pipe, or what rocket fuel the Saturn V used, the information is right at my fingertips.

I don't ever have to be lost again. First time in a city? I can get directions to anywhere, from anywhere, any time I want.

I even have a freakin flashlight at all times.

Yeah, it sucks that some people get stuck in a narcissistic spiral on facebook or obsessively doomscroll to the detriment of their own health, but that's not the smartphone's fault any more than it is just the invention of electricity's fault.

There is one thing I'd like to see them accomplish in the MAGA civil war, and that is the absolute and utter destruction of the MAGA klans.

Hints? That orange shitbucket has been pretty clear that he has every intention of weaponizing the justice system against everyone who opposed him.

He couldn't even invent a vaguely clever ploy. That fucking brainlet just took the resources available to him and assembled the most basic bitch plan ever, "Hur dur fake account, but add voice changer." Further proof that Elon Musk is a fucking idiot who couldn't invent his way out of a wet paper bag.

Yep. They're getting exactly what they voted for, whether they like it or not. They might not have liked Harris' limp wristed attempts at encouraging moderation and restraint, but Trump's plan was to "Finish the problem" and will not just enable, but actively encourage genocide.

Because there are only two viable choices with any chance at winning in a general election, one was "not good enough" and one wants to actively disband unions. You're the one assuming I thought Harris would be "Good" for Unions, but even you can't seriously think Trump won't be objectively worse for them.

I donated to Wikipedia for the first time because fuck that guy.

If you honestly believe Trump is better for Unions, or for just about any normal people, you're not paying attention.

I'm sure the alternative will be much better for unions, right guys? After all, demolishing the foundations of the country is fine as long as it teaches that one politician that she could have been better!

No shit. I'm sure he won't use his first report to try to move all space launches over to exclusively the company he owns, he'll probably at least wait till the second or third.

So what you're saying is Trump is probably going to pardon at least 2 of them.

Just because my house can burn down, doesn't mean it will, so fire extinguishers and smoke detectors are just a waste of money.

It's obvious why they're suddenly obsessed with Raw Milk. It's the same reason they were suddenly Anti-Vax, anti-Mask, and anti-plague-control.

Democrats said a thing, Republicans immediately reply with the opposite.

Democrats said Vaccines prevent disease, Republicans declared vaccines are poison. Democrats said wearing a mask can reduce the transmission of airborne pathogens, Republicans said masks will kill you and are illegal now. Democrats said "Don't drink raw milk, it can transmit deadly diseases." Republicans declare "You can take the raw milk from my cold dead hands."

I honestly expect that if Democrats released a PSA against jumping off cliffs onto jagged rocks, because the fall could be dangerous, Republicans would immediately start taking picture standing on the edges of cliffs with the caption of "Don't tell me what to do."

Fortunately I absolutely get to refuse service to anyone giving me that kind of condescending attitude.

Hotel.

I plan to go to work like it's any other day, including not getting any holiday pay. I will try not to roll my eyes as customers tell me it sucks I have to work, even while they themselves are the reason I have to work.

Okay but this one time I did exactly that thing I'm not supposed to and exactly what was expected happened so obviously cast iron bad?

When you come own again you should reread that word salad.
