Wait what did Magnum PI do? We’re not talking about the mustachioed investigator, right?

Something nice about them going “no thank you, you aren’t important enough for us to cancel our other plans.”

Trump loves it when people yell at him, it’s validating. Ignoring him like this, sending a very clear message that he’s completely not worth the effort, when he explicitly invited them? That gets him.

To be very clear, this only works because he did the inviting. Absolutely people in the US should otherwise be yelling quite loudly, starting fires, and organizing to keep themselves safe and to fight back as a group.

We’re all boney, ray-finned fish.

I appreciate that, but I have very clearly laid out that I’m pissed off at the people who claim to be progressive but who keep voting for a party which continually moves rightward. I’m pissed off because, well before you showed up to my comments here, I was talking about how if we want to see progress we need to actually support that progress with hard numbers. I very clearly explained that the reason I’m mad is because people think they’re voting for an imperfect center-left party to save themselves from the Conservatives but if they so afraid then they may want to know that the Liberals are doing a lot of the same shit. I don’t give a fuck about their fear because that excuse is worthless in this context.

You just wandered in telling me that I’m wrong and then went off about a bunch of shit I responded to with clear answers. I’m not stupifd, I’m explaining why I’m frustrated and I can do that without needing to do all the emotional labour to make people comfortable with their incredibly poor, ill-informed choices.

The only people in the US being broadly unjustly called pedos are minorities. They are being called that by his party and the people who support his party.

Don’t do work for this parasite.

So, we do understand “context” though, right? No one is hearing about a guy who never hurt anyone but who is managing their problem and thinking “I’m gunna go beat them up.” However, there do happen to be a whole lot of people on Cruz’s side of the aisle, including the president, who seem to be the absolute worse possible version of a pedophile.

You haven’t said anything that nullifies, or even weakens, the arguments made or sentiments show in this post.

While it’s true that Bruce Jenner is not their name even if they’re deeply horrid, it feels like Cruz here calls himself Ted so that he can get votes from racist people who wouldn’t elect him solely based on his name. I’m 50/50 on it.

No, not exterminate, just control with even further violence. The rich are stupid and useless, but they do know that they need bodies to do their work for them, even if they’ll never admit it.

This is, honestly, much worse because complacent people won’t fight back nearly as hard.

I never asked you to do anything, you just showed up and started making excuses.

Also, you are the masses, and so am I. You can’t just wait for things to be better to start making progress, you have to put the effort in before it’s easy. I don’t vote for the NDP because I think they’re gunna win in the next election, I vote for them because they align the most with my views and because if I jump ship on them now then how will they ever have the support to be better later? How could we change public opinion on their electability by broadcasting a message that would say that we don’t believe they’re electable?

I’m literally telling you that I’m pissed because people do not do the reasonable thing. I am well aware that reason is hard to come by and I am saying that right now. You are deliberately missing the point to try to justify your bad decisions and shitty opinions and I’m really not here for that kind of poor behaviour.

“My fingers are crossed for them” well you’re gunna have to do more than that if you want that to be anything more than a few empty words that are only even there so that you can pretend as if you’re being polite. Considering how hard you’re trying to justify the Liberals, though, maybe genuine effort is not something you really understand.

The only stories I’ve ever heard of involving AI are told by people who, once again, are unable to see how their increase in productivity is not being met with a reduction in work hours. Unless, or course, “reduction in work hours” means they are being shown the door so a different idiot can do kore work for the same amount of pay.

Why does everyone feel the need to do as much as possible as quickly as possible at all times of every single day? And why are most people I talk to using ChatGPT to replace Google searches so they don’t need to actually think?

We all need to slow the fuck down.

Do…do you know how a jury works?
