  • I think art can also just exist, and doesn’t need a message behind it.

    Absolutely, that's why I posted the video of Jackson Pollock. His art looks like a mess until you see him painting it. He's kind of dancing or meditating. It can just be the experience of doing the art that is the intent.

  • I think you should try it then, see how much fun it is.

  • We get trolled a lot, that's mostly what you're seeing. They seem to be off schedule lately or the admins are handling them better, not sure which. I agree with being better commenters though, it would help the atmosphere.

  • Protestors gathered on the other side of the police tape, shouting at officers and questioning why Minneapolis police — whose leaders swore wouldn’t assist federal agencies in civil immigration enforcement — stood alongside ICE agents as officers searched the building.

    Five years ago, this stretch of Lake Street was filled with protestors, who clashed with police following the murder of George Floyd. Today, protestors tossed traffic cones and trash cans in the way of law enforcement vehicles as they drove away from the scene, and shouted at the officers to go home, or quit their jobs.

  • I almost joined you. Thank you for all you did and I'm sad to see you go. I guess there's a reason why it's not that toxic on Lemmy, you guys were/are taking the brunt of it.

  • Maybe? Question though, your girlfriend may want the kids and housewife and shit at first, but what if she changes her mind or you have trouble conceiving? Your reaction will determine if you're misogynistic or not. Life sometimes happens to you without your input or regards for your preferences.

  • There was another article that said 1 out 4 Americans have a disability. I couldn't find a source to back that up. That is a shit ton of people.

    Why we have a government and taxes:

    • To take care of the least among us
    • To make sure that people aren't being taken advantage of; robbed, killed, manipulated, etc.

    Why the Republicans think we have a government and taxes right now:

    • So they can have more money
    • To be racist af and keep anyone that isn't white, out of the country.
    • To make everyone a christian
  • Biden admitted that Garland was his biggest mistake.

    Charges need to be pressed more severely.

    I'm not really sure what that means.

  • If/when we have a dem president again, we need to actually press charges for this shit.

    Do you remember all of the impeachments? They tried and didn't have the votes or billionaires behind that move. Just like Republicans are not monoliths even though it seems that way on the surface, neither are Democrats.

    Impeachments are pressing charges and so was what Jack Smith was doing.

  • This is horrific. They murdered their dog and then murdered Joss. I can't tell you how embarrassed I am for our country. These people did nothing wrong. I consider these cops as bad as the Uvalde cops. They are cowards and full of hate.

    I have found my friends that are LGBTQ+ people are very supportive of each other. I hope they and allies step up for this man.

  • Is it a conspiracy when they said they did it? Don't make me pull out receipts.

  • Trump and the other Republicans cheated in 2020, but didn't quite do it right. They got it right in 2024. Trump got a lot of legit votes, too many, but he cheated as well. He might have won anyway, but we'll never know for sure.

  • They say "stop resisting" while the woman is sobbing. This is not a good look for the police officers.

    I'm not sure what the end game is here:

    The episode was recorded by someone who was sitting in Mr. Nadler’s office. In the video, an officer with the Federal Protective Service, part of the Department of Homeland Security, is shown demanding access to a private area inside the office. The video was obtained by Gothamist, which earlier reported the confrontation.

    “You’re harboring rioters in the office,” the federal agent, whose name tag and officer number are not visible in the video, says to a member of Mr. Nadler’s staff.

    There were no riots reported on Wednesday at the federal building on Varick Street, though protesters and immigrant rights advocates gathered inside and outside the building earlier in the day. The immigration court is on the fifth floor and Mr. Nadler’s office is on the sixth.

  • The US is one of the wealthiest, if not the wealthiest, in the world. The issue is that there are very few people that represent that wealth.

  • This might be the one time I'm okay with this. It's too hard on the humans that did this. I hope the AI won't "learn" to be cruel from this though, and I don't trust Meta to handle this gracefully.

  • Wtf is that headline?

    A US appeals court continues to block Trump and Republicans from mass layoffs and restructuring of government agencies

  • I thought Gen Z aren't really into drinking or drugs. I hope they do this. Make holes in your resume the norm so they can't hold anything against you. I have friends that did/do this and they got it out of their system. They're pretty happy with their lives.

  • lmao, this is so to the point. I've had a Jehovah Witness try and convince me through scripture in the bible and he couldn't wrap his head around that the bible holds no weight in my mind.
