  • He gave aid and comfort to the insurrectionists by delaying sending in additional police, by calling them good people while they were beating cops to death, by targeting Mike Pence with his rhetoric while the capitol is being stormed, by telling them he loved them, by telling them he’ll pardon them if re-elected. This played out in real time, on TV and on Twitter. These facts are not in dispute by any objective observer.

    Now re-read the 14th amendment. Might also be a good idea to read the Jan 6 Commission report.

    Pretty fucking cut and dry.

  • I never once said anything about “control the population.” Clearly you are doing exactly what idiot conservatives do — make shit up. Have fun living in the bubble of nonsense and intellectual mediocrity.

  • Proof that the Linux kernel is the Debil!

  • The fact that you think that image accurately depicts liberal ideology is enough to dismiss this out of hand. A moment-in-time choice of vote is as indicative of an ideology as comparing weather to climate. And equating the vote against literal fascists, openly and with pride working to dismantle the republic and install an autocracy, as being a scare tactic just to stay in power is as small-minded as I seem to, disappointingly, expect from the internet.

    But I understand all that if you’re spoon-fed that from your choice of news outlets, it gives you less to think about and more to “meme” about.

  • Generally speaking, people are selfish assholes. But on occasion, a person will surprise me by being genuinely nice and it really lightens my day.

    An example just from today…

    Driving to Best Buy, I had to watch as someone swerved in and out of a lane, with zero regard to their surroundings, as if they didn’t know where to go, just for them to go to the Best Buy.

    I went to park, and no less than three cars were over the lines making it difficult to park next to them.

    Then in Best Buy, I had to dodge numerous people walking down the aisles with their head down staring at their phones instead of watching where they were going.

    At the end of the experience, we were checked out by an amazingly nice and cheerful person who paid attention and interacted with respect and interest. While I understand it’s part of their job to be nice, I feel this person went above and beyond and just spoke to us like a cool human being.

    So now my day feels good simply because of that one person. It’s sad that so many are the complete opposite. And to be fair, I’m a grouch a lot, so I am being hypocritical in what I say here. It’s so tough for me to be bright and cheerful when surrounded by such immense hostility, obliviousness, and rudeness.

  • Yes except his character flaws make him a terrible fucking human. But you can keep trying to justify his behavior and beliefs just because you happen to like SpaceX or Tesla or whatever. Won’t fly with many of us.

  • The problem is that they aren’t legally required to do that. They should be. And thus tipping would not be as necessary. Of course some servers like tipping, and I get that, but if they were paid effectively the same as a proper salary then they wouldn’t have to hope for a busy night or hope people are generous on any given night. Whether any given server likes the notion of tipping, it is a stress they have to endure — and in my opinion, an unnecessary stress.

  • That objective facts must be rooted in evidence. Billions of people in this world seem to not share that view.

  • Or…maybe if the restaurants paid a good living wage to servers then tipping wouldn’t be necessary. In my experience, my opinion here goes against the grain in the US :)

  • The inevitable result of an egregiously rich man-baby trying to stick it to the “woke”. I left Twitter the moment that idiot took over. Twitter is a cesspool and a joke now. Time to move on.

  • My friend was at their show last night at MSG. He said it was awesome.

  • Ripping off some Republican Congressman’s mother. 😄

  • Any neighbor whose beliefs and views lead them to look at Trump and say “yeah give me more of that!” can fuck right off.

  • Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise?

  • We should add colons to everything!

  • Happy? No no no. The use of := should die a horrible death. I… I may have some PTSD from my time in college.

  • Thank goodness I haven't used Evernote since... checks notes in Sublime Text... 2010.

  • Sure, it’s capitalism — where the workers consistently get screwed. Lol.

  • So idiots who run the company tried to screw over developers, and it’s employees who pay the price. Capitalism, I guess.

  • Oh I did that the moment I was able :) I just have too many devices for entertainment (first world problem, I know).
