SARGE

I bought some supplies from a local business recently...

Then I found out after unpacking that some of the components were made from supplies by Kaiser Aluminum, a company that assists in genocide via military contracts.

Unfortunately I can't return the things I've used, but I will be informing the owner that I won't be making any more purchases specifically due to their ordering things from KA.

Who would have thought that putting a man-child wannabe (for now) openly fascist dictator child rapist con man in charge and letting them shit all over every document meant to put them in check while the other elected officials cheer him on, picking fights with other nations for no reason other than to make himself look strong to the weakest of people, targeting minorities in state-sanctioned terrorist actions, and generally acting like the Nazi regime was a how-to guide would make us look slightly more negative than usual?

Oh god I feel so old.

I genuinely don't know if this is satire or something that actually exists.

Yes, I could do some light searching and find out, but I'd rather be old and mildly scared about changing trends.

I've seen a reference to "Labubu" several days in a row now. Honestly it reminds me of one of those dime-a-dozen 3d printing brand names.

I remember a friend of mine whining about how my text bubble was a different color and it "made it weird" to text because of that.

By then I was already super over the whole tribalistic iphone/android bs from people I know when it wasn't being meme'd on, so I just told her "you can either get over it, or we can stop talking and being friends"

Wouldn't you know it, the color of a text bubble isn't enough to end a friendship over.

Ah, no true ~~scottsman~~ adult, then.

Why would you do this to me...

questioned whether there was sufficient evidence of uncontacted peoples in the area, saying the territory had been tied up for nearly two decades

"it's been 1/5 of a human lifespan, obviously nobody is still there since I haven't seen them."

As if they'd all have died off in 20 years or nobody contacting them somehow makes it fair game?

I can't wait to hear my coworkers or family members defend this after I say "shall not be infringed" and "all gun control is an infringement" or "gun bans don't work"

I've heard the same argument from all of them, for years, any time Biden or Obama "considered" something about firearms.

I'm a big believer in the 2nd Ammendment, including the "in keeping a well-regulated militia" aspect that everyone seems to forget about. However, any time a well-regulated militia pops up that isn't a bunch of religious white raging racist homophobic bigots, the alphabet squads get involved for "national security" reasons. Or they label the group a terrorist group. Just ask the black Panthers. Or anyone accused of being "members of antifa"

Arm yourselves, train with your firearms. Remember the 4 rules of firearm safety. The government you were taught would protect you is the very thing trying to eliminate you.

I don't enjoy side-scrollers.

But I DO enjoy supporting people in the things they create.

Who cares if it's not my cuppa. Who cares if there's 10,000 similar things out there? And who cares if it doesn't land on any "TOP TEN" lists?

Is hollow knight my thing? Nope.

But it's rad as hell.

A man who must insist he is king, is no king.

A entity that must assure everyone it's not committing genocide...

And this is why I keep telling my trans homies they need to arm themselves and offering to take them shooting away from gun nuts and Republicans.

Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

"well obviously he didn't mean that"

5 minutes earlier AND 5 minutes later

"we love him because he says it like it is and talks plainly"

Cognitive dissonance is a requirement for fascism. "the enemy is both strong and weak"
