Wasn’t a big part of Katrina’s destruction from the hurricane effectively stalling over the southern US which caused prolonged and massive local damage?

Not trying to discount either event, mostly worried about the time we get a stalled Helene sized hurricane

Third parties in the US are almost exclusively tools for siphoning votes off the main parties.

But if you still think government runs the show you are out to lunch. Corporations have been dictating policy for a long long time in the US, and the laws are only making it easier for corporations to directly own politicians.

The only one who will change this is if a huge amount of voters organizing and demanding change. Like current levels Republican stochastic terrorism, but for things like healthcare, education, workers rights, consumer rights etc.

Corporations spend a lot of time and money taking these things away from us, and we’ve been generally watching the middle class disappear for decades.

It will take sustained, active, pressure, and vigilance from the people to make corporate money is not worth it and politicians make decisions based on benefitting their constituents.

Unfortunately, nowadays most constituents only care about making life difficult for others instead of better for everyone including themselves.

The cross alignment with the background is killing me.

Blue swoops in way lower on the left.

Isn’t carpentry like, his thing?? Come now.

I don’t particularly think his supporters matter, as they are mostly sheep and not one of the main facisim roots.

It’s the fact that more than half of America’s entire media apparatus is entirely behind Trump.

They dominate airwaves and have entire control over several local information ecosystems allowing them to brainwash entire populations with wall-to-wall propaganda that is completely aligned in its message of refuting and obfuscation of reality.

Regardless if the people are racist, scared, simple minded, trained to blindly accept specific authority or whatever, is mostly irrelevant in a society with journalistic integrity, and a non-corporate/private interest owned media.

It’s no surprise that some people believe outrageous, impossible, contradictory, claims when every reality authority available to you exclusively tells you coordinated lies.

Yeah, but you put a quarter in their shopping carts guys! What an organized and crime free society guys.

Their subway is super clean guys we can’t compete with freedom like that guys.

Guys, Tucker said groceries are cheaper than America, guys. We’ve been duped into thinking life is OK guys. But also lowering prices in America is also communism guys. Russia has literally the least communist history guys, America is the real Marxist guys.

Trust me guys, American freedom has nothing on Ruzzian freedom guys. All of the benefits with literally 0 drawbacks guys, it’s insane how little consequences there are to living in Ruzzia guys.

There’s nothing more free than a brutally oppressive police state run by a dictator guys, it’s the secret recipe for freedom guys. Trust me bro.

Right?

Going after Google AND Visa?!

Even if it’s all theatrics, the Justice department hasn’t really showed up to work in recent memory and this is a refreshing change from the void abyss DOJ usually haunts

More weird than strange if you ask me.

That fascist sure group is a really weird bunch!

GOP//Facisim Playbook dictates that You ALWAYS accuse others of what you are guilty.

Every accusation is a confession.

Yeah, but I assume the entire plane isn’t running the original 24 year old parts.

You can install new shit correctly, but if that shit was made by Boeing, then every time shit got replaced it likely got replaced with worse shit.

Eventually all the good Boeing shit gets replaced by okay shit and that gets maintained with mediocre shit.

Eventually some shit breaks and the backup shit is also shit so the shitty redundancies don’t actually do shit because Boeing has been non-stop shitting for decades, and then all the shit finally hits the fan and that is currently where Boeing is at.

There’s a ton of shit and a lot of fans, so we’ll be seeing this same stories play out for a long time

They’re ensuring their money keeps flowing. This isn’t about altruism - it’s just their Greed incidentally benefits us.

ISPs are trying to mitigate exposure to lawsuits, prevent costly tracking and tracing responsibilities, and make sure customers can keep paying instead of losing their internet privileges (and their internet bills!)

That peasants like us find this favorable is an unintended bonus.

Fair enough, I assumed you gamed on both and stopped for PS5 because they made PSN mandatory and I somehow was unaware.

Can’t justify a gaming PC when PS4 pro was pretty cheap and my gaming hours are not what they used to be

I can justify a not so new console every 5 or so years as they hit my value for money sweet spot, and reduced gaming hours due to life

But the upfront cost for a decent rig to replace consoles entirely is not what I want to use my money for (for now!)

Can’t wait to finally make the jump though!

Damn, if I didn’t know any better, the teamsters union hate the idea of being led by a woman.

Unless Kamala has a teamsters specific, anti-union agenda completely unique from Joe Biden I’m not aware of?

I’d love to be proven wrong, but Trump has only gotten worse and Kamala is significantly better than Biden - so what’s up??

I’ve had my PS4 pro for years and never had paid PSN, is it required for PS5?

Or just for online play, which I do not care for

I’ve always done protein powder first, then add liquid and doing it the other way around sounds like blasphemy.

Never get any clumps either!

Dry powder on top of a liquid is pure insanity, next you’ll tell me you add milk to a bowl of cereal before the cereal

But from there, there is actually much debate about which order of combining is best. Some say that adding dry into wet leads to clumps of dry ingredients floating in the batter, while others say that actually the opposite, adding wet to dry, leads to, well, clumps.

It would appear that the jury is still out, and everyone despises clumps. But one thing is definitely true: It’s much harder to successfully add dry ingredients into wet ingredients neatly. That order tends to lead to a giant puff of flour wafting toward the ceiling, and settling all over the counters, while a steady, viscous stream of wet ingredients will instead narrowly ribbon its way down into the bowl containing dry ingredients, and nowhere else.

Fuck John McEntee and anyone who had anything to do with project 2025

Insane how we’re forced to be distracted with news media focusing on lies about immigrants eating pets instead of hammering Republicans about project 2025.

They are 100% full steam ahead, end running on all fronts relentlessly as we speak.

Weird how Ohio is into it, since he’s their guy and all.

1/3 of people get forced to eat shit because 1/3 of people want everyone but themselves to have to eat shit because they wrongly think they will never have to eat the shit they are voting to have literally everyone eat.

Worst of all, 1/3 of people like having their head in the sand, being unable to develop an opinion on if being force fed shit is good or bad.

Completely depends on the shrooms. Like 100%.

I recommend 1 gram increments every hour if you’ve never tried the bag before. Once you know how strong they are, you’ll know how much you need for the trip you want.

I’ve taken 3.5 grams and been fully in control with minimal visual and the biggest experience was mild time dilation.

I’ve taken 2 grams and been unable to use my phone because the screen looks bottomless for several hours, and I’m barely keeping whole thoughts processing.

Blindly advising someone you don’t know to munch 7 grams of random shrooms is a terrible idea. You are correct that anxiety meds can blunt shrooms, but even then 7g is a massive dose.

Joy Division Vance will absolutely do everything he can to make sure that women’s existence is for the exclusive civic purpose of brood mare sex slavery.

Fun fact, every Curry on earth smells infinitely better than the aroma of Diaper Don balls deep in McDonald’s Hamberder.

Just because you can accurately attack someone’s integrity in an exposing and indefensible way doesn’t mean you’ll change anyone’s mind who doesn’t care.

I’m sure the golden diaper wearing mental health crisis voting bloc is one Trump attack ad away from revelation tho

Kinda silly to expect an “Ah-ha!” moment for more than a small handful of people this late in the game

Elon being creepy to TSwizz probably did more to help Dems than anything Trump could do to negatively affect Republican votes
