Your government's plan to deal with the guaranteed, inevitable disruptions that come from climate change are the same as my government's plan.
1. Double down on anti-trans legislation
2. Attack gay marriage
3. Attack immigrants.
4. Do you have a local flavour of religion or language? Promote those.
5. Go after the insufficiently patriotic
6. Racisms
The floods, storms, or damage? The evacuation and housing and feeding of everyone from every major coastal city? The farm collapse? 1/2

The first Beatitude is the worst. Who are the poor in spirit? You go check out the mainline flavours of Big Jesus and they'll tell you something that does not at all what those words mean.
"poor in spirit are those who are humble, those who depend upon God completely for every good, bodily and spiritual." Catholic.
"to recognize clearly that one has nothing which he has not received from God" Greek Orthodox.
Hopeless? Spiritually poor? Not big believers? Depressed? That makes more sense.

3. I like Winter.

I think what disturbs me most about politics is that people who seem like they aren't stupid beyond imagining, people who I call friends, pick a politician or party and go all in on it.
No, your politician is shit. They aren't a good person. They aren't trying. Stop. No benefit of the doubt.
I do not understand how we can look at the past three hundred years and not treat the political class as vicious, conniving thugs who need to be merely tolerated and constantly harassed to do better.

It's wild that picking on Biden for his age got more traction than picking on him for his decades of appalling voting record, or his ghoulish policies, ever did.

Let me get this straight.
To stop a right wing president from using their newfound immunity from [legalized crime], you have to vote for Biden this round. Then Democrats forever. And nobody is going to take any steps to fix the underlying cause, even though Biden could, with his presidential immunity.
Do you think the Democrats are going to run anyone on *fixing* this or will just keep *fundraising* for this?

The book starts with an event like that in India, killing millions of people. That sets things in motion because India then realizes nobody is going to slow down what they are doing and they will lose millions more people before long.

I always laugh when the #Catholic Church denies blessings to people in same sex couplings (and I am not even talking the blessing of the coupling).
But it won't deny blessings to someone who believe children should have school lunch debts or people who renovict tenants from affordable housing or businessmen who will lay off thousands, taking away their health care in the process, so they have a few more dollars of dividends on their stocks.

2024-05-27 01:54:49

You could solve school lunch debt by finding like-minded concerned citizens, digging a hole, and drowning the kind of people who like school lunch debts in human piss. If God judges you for this, maybe He should have helped more.

I hate cleaning up dishes and tools for meal preparation. I hate it so much that I basically live on disposal plates and cutlery, like a monster. I hate it so much I will prepare mostly just *slops* to eat from one pot or something so I don't have to do anything.
If it takes longer to plan, get, make, and clean up after than it does to eat I don't want any part of it at all.

Note: They burned anyone who they accused and who confessed. Which is everyone, because all you need to do to make anyone confess to any crime at all is to sleep deprive them for two days.

Immigration is such an easy win for every right wing party in the world.
Everyone knows our birth rates are dropping off, and there's no way to save them. Which means immigrants are necessary. Which means people will always try to bring them in, which means you always have something to fight.
Lie and exaggerate about for your base.
Which means you can take from that base everything and give them nothing.

A friendly reminder that God kills fertilized embryos at an astounding rate. If abortion is run of the mill murder, let me tell you, friends, God's doing it on a Pol Pot scale.
60 to 70 percent of fertilized eggs do not make it to birth, and thankfully most women don't know they miscarry.
The cosmic joke is that if you wanted to stop the death of babies, #Alabama style, the only ethical way to do so would be to stop all sex, especially the kind that aims for reproduction.

@npub1rc6…g7hx Counterpoint: Botanical Gardens are just going to be places where the homeless go, and their budget can more easily be spent on having extra police officers.
Hurrah for the worst world we could have.

You can watch Ilya Muromets for free, all legal like, over on Youtube. It's a 1950s epic fantasy story and it feels just plain weird to watch.
I can't describe why it makes me feel that way. It just does. Other than being very Russian, I think it's just a style of acting that fell out of favour here and I suppose in the East? I can't nail down whatever my brain is thinking.
It's still a pretty good time.

@npub1ke3…xcva I am just so used to not considering that as an option, for big reasons out here on the Live Feeds on .social, that it really impresses me how useful it is for places that haven't turned in into a terrible nightmare of bots and spam.

@npub1sac…apc0 Anyone who has ever worked as an oil lobbyist is the kind of garbage that should be put down a mine shaft, forever.
Somehow that crime against humanity isn't a crime. Shrug.

Hello Mastodon.
I am once again looking for some fun accounts to follow from Australia and New Zealand. I am often up late and my Home Feed just dies a miserable death.
Having some people who are up at that time would be good for me.
Give me your recommendations.

@npub1gmx…atcq The sad, cynical part of my brain is saying that this is optics and that nothing will come of it. That it is merely a way for Israel to do what it wants and America to say, "Hey, we tried. What else could we do?"
Then the status quo continues.
I hope I live in a better world than my brain thinks is here.

@npub1mmf…eknq It's weird that you can go down for saying something as simple as, hey, maybe cutting off gas and electricity and food and water to two million people is a bad thing without saying except if Israel is doing it, then it's okay somehow.

One of life's greatest jokes is that my parents were worried about what video games were doing to me, when they should have been much more concerned about what cable news was doing to their brains.

@npub1su4…a0dw The question about Switch 2 is this: Does it have backward compatibility or am I just going to stick with Steamdeck from now on?
