  • Not much substance to this article other than saying it’s pretty much a ripoff of Chicago.

    Also, profiting off Mangione this way is about as American as it gets.

  • The beginning of enshittification.

    Prices will keep climbing, functionality reduced in favor of service tiers, and of course ads, ads, and ads.

  • Basic needs only? Still work so I can have money to do more than just basic things.

  • That’s not how it works at all.

    The person being addressed has an issue and reasonably has requested an accommodation that costs nothing.

    The other person says nah, can’t be bothered, I don’t care how you feel. Suck it.

    These are not the same thing.

    Edit: words.

  • “Nah”?

    “Nah” what?

    I don’t think you understood what I wrote or the context it was written.

  • Nothing he won’t take back in 5 minutes.

  • I’ve got a hard time glorifying potentially deadly sports. Hang on, I know the next comment is gonna be about something like F1 racing or something, but even F1 goes to great lengths to protect the drivers as much as reasonably possible. It’d be like going back to car racing in open air, no crashworthiness, no helmet, no HALO, etc. to compare to free climbing like this. This guy dies and people will idolize someone playing with suicide. Don’t particularly care if he dies doing it for himself, but the attention he gets could be done without.

  • Consider that surveys also indicate that 30-40% of the US are essentially “Trump No Matter What” people. Maybe some variation depending on the issue.

    So 60% isn’t too far off the mark for people not supporting everything trump does.

    E: 48.3% of registered voters voted for Harris. Maybe if that extra ~12% of Americans that are unhappy about Trump had gotten off their asses and voted we might be complaining about a crappy Neo-Liberal instead of a straight up fascist takeover.

  • No sane person who has been paying attention to global politics would make that mistake. I’ve been watching Canada’s elections with a lot of wary interest. It looks like they’ll be ok. For now.

  • Gotta love the hollow morality in telling users they’ve been psychologically manipulated this time but yet do nothing about the tens of thousands of bots doing the exact same thing 24/7 the rest of the time.

  • ~30% of the people seem to be the mark for “will actively vote for fascism to destroy the country because of my prejudice and hatreds.”

    It was 32% for us in the US.

    It was 33% for Hitler and the Nazis in ‘32.

  • So true

  • Huh, wonder it was a local variant? Either way, it’s a great saying.

  • So true

  • It’s a little less used these days. I have German family, they’re all older, so the saying may be out of style compared to their time. It’s usually “best sauce” but I’ve also heard “beste Koch” as well.

  • Need like twenty signs with just trump in the same format: Fraud, Domestic Abuser, Rape, Bribery, etc.

  • /checks to see if it’s Colorado Springs

    Of course it is.

    Right wing AF. I don’t think many people have a clue how insanely god-squad right wing the USAF Academy is. It’s cult-like.
