This timeline is so fucking stupid I have difficulty believing it sometimes
If we do live in a simulation, can I be taken out by a corrupt memory allocation, please?
Earth.exe is causing excessive crashes, please save your work and restart.
I'd like to load a backup save please
Best we can do is unplug it.
Then plug it back in again.
Plug.exe is not working. Check for a working internet connection
internet connection not found. please reinstall aol
internet connection not found. please reinstall aol
Sorry, this is a hardcore run. No save scumming.
New game+, dlc is extra
Hmm, well when is the last time you tested those backups to ensure they aren't corrupt?
I knew it was somehow windows fault. We should obviously be running Debian.
COSMIC BIT FLIP 2028!
well someone crapped my pants i would like a reinstall please
Fascists were killed to fucking death 80 years ago. And I'll remind us all, the men who fought were around 20 then. The youngest would be 100 now.
The Smoot-Hawley Act was 95 years ago, exacerbated the Great Depression. Not to mention the stock market greed and lack of government controls that started it. Today no one remembers what that kind of poverty was like in America.
Everyone who remembers is dead. This is simply history, we do this again and again. Our turn!
Why stop there? Shell out a purple heart! Hell, make it two! Make him look like one of these old officers from dictatorships!
Ughh, I mean we are just handing military rank over to Palantir employees, so why not?
General Big Balls🎖️got his ass kicked by high schoolers while betraying his country.
What a ridiculous country you have going on over there
Thanks, we all love it and want this to be happening.
Well if you don't drop everything and singlehandedly bring it all to a screeching halt i won't respect you and even if you try I'll find other reasons to criticize you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is the first time I've laughed at something related to our political situation in a long time. Good job on this thread guys. I appreciate it
It's pretty fucked up, that's for sure.
Release the Trump/Epstein files
placing him in the company of luminaries such as Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr. and Mother Teresa
One of these persons is not like the others...
Even so, Christopher Hitchens is not rolling in his grave.
This country is a fucking joke.
Of course. These people would give literal Hitler the presidential medal of freedom if he were around to give it to. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they award him something posthumously
George Tenet got one for roping us into an illegal war in Iraq.
The PMoF is meaningless.
It is now
It has been for 20 years. At least.
This is not unprecedented.
Is this the same award that Kissinger received?
Yep. Ford gave him one.
Probably. I don't know offhand.
Not gonna say it hasn't been a parade of celebrity and yah yah bs, but, Jose' Andre's. I'm good with that.
holy shit nobody cares. stop being caught off guard by low effort outrage sideshows. next one drops in 12 hours or so, can we grow up enough to handle it?
placing him in the company of luminaries such as Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr. and Mother Teresa.
The medal's reputation has already been tarnished, then, might as well add him.
There are infinitely many loathsome people who have gotten it, so care about this I could not less.
Imagine being the person who has to inscribe a medal of freedom to “big balls”
Anything Epstein's best buddy hands out will be noted as a total farce and those receiving them should be ridiculed relentlessly. Cue South Park.
That's exactly it. He will forever have to say, it was awarded by Donald Trump, instantly loses all meaning. People will probably think he bought or bribed it from, DT.
if someone were to shoot him will they give him a posthumous promotion? that would be cool
Balls not so big if a gun is pointed in his stupid face.
Yeah. We're armed to the fucking teeth and no one is challenging these fascists.
MAGA neighbor came stomping down the street after I called him a fascist and his wife a fat fucking Nazi. Bring it.
I calmly walked inside for my Colt .45, left the door and curtains open, awaited his arrival. He had the sense to turn the fuck around or his wife would be a widow and his daughter lacking a father. Stand your ground state!
These people never get fucking challenged. Never. They're in their echo chamber thinking everyone is on the same page. Fuck with them. Put violence on the table, make it personal.
I'm a middle-aged white guy, easy for me to say, I know. And that privilege is exactly why I push back. I can fight the fight for those less privileged. And yes, I've made my peace with dying if it comes to that. That is not a new thought to me.
Ban in 3, 2, 1...
You won't get banned for exercising your legal right to self defense against Nazis. Nor for advocating other fight fascist violence using their legal rights.
You and me. Same page.
While I typically frown on violence, it'd be a just world if after receiving said medal, BB got his ass beat on a weekly basis.
