  • Unfortunately, it is not even slightly difficult to imagine a situation where he becomes president. The GOP nominates him because they don’t give a fuck, then 75 million people vote for him because they don’t give a fuck, then the Supreme Court upholds the results of the election and swears him in because they don’t give a fuck.

    My gut feeling is that he won’t want to bother with it because his current strategy is working fine. But good god how different the world could look in 5-10 years. Or months.







  • Sure, but the people who need to see this message are the ones who fell all over themselves to vote for the convicted felon on pre-sentencing release who tried to overthrow the government after the last election.

    Asking them to form a sensible opinion based on hundreds of pages describing how they’re going to fuck over anybody who isn’t a rich white man — it just feels orders of magnitude more complicated and subtle than whether it makes sense to vote for the criminal who has betrayed the country and insulted service members multiple times.


  • Gates was the guy nerds were supposed to hate decades ago because Microsoft and billionaire. But that feels fun and innocent compared with today where the billionaires are actively trying to destroy society and ruin people’s lives as opposed to just exploiting them for their labor.




  • Gotta love when the conspiracy is so stupid that it’s the people who dedicated their lives to building and spreading human knowledge are the ones keeping the knowledge away from Joe public.

    You know how Trump has been called the poor person’s idea of a rich person? I’m trying to think of the caricature they use for “scientist” in their minds. Maybe a woke Joe Rogan?


  • If you want a baby that’s relatively healthy, adoption can be an absolute nightmare. If anybody ever says to adoptive parents that they got their kid the “easy way,” it made them sound profoundly ignorant. It’s one of those life experiences where you learn about a whole shitty world that exists right under the surface that most people are blissfully unaware of. That includes adoption, fostering, child protective services, and all that crap.

    The only reason my wife and I have a biological kid is because the adoption process drove us to give it one more try with a new doctor in parallel. If we happened to adopt AND conceive, then fine. Instant family.

    But here we are with a 7 year old only child that’s biologically ours, not adopted. We might start fostering in the next few years though.

    Well of course they don’t say that. They have negative sounding terms like the old “bleeding heart liberal,” because as every good conservative knows it is weakness and foolishness to give a shit about other people.

    I guess today they would just go for woke. It’s short and meaningless, but it started out being used by minorities so again every good conservative knows it’s a bad thing and a killer insult.
