Not could, will. The cat’s outta the bag and nobody views us as a trustworthy trading partner now.

You can’t unfuck this, it’s Donald’s baby now. He can try to abort it all he wants but the damage is done.

Yeah, I have never had a reason to love this racist shithole country that has always glorified and rewarded snake oil salesmen and conmen while hurting the good, kind, compassionate people.

How can this happen when it makes no sense? And that people should understand were are in one-person rule in the United States. Our political system is in a state of collapse. What President Trump did is an emergency decree. Everything he does is an emergency decree. … Because he’s King. Those powers are not invested in the President of the United States, they’re invested in the Congress. … But the U.S. starting in 1945 after World War II became a military state to a large extent and so it sprinkled in it’s legislation emergency emergency emergency and Trump doesn’t have prove anything’s an emergency, he just has to say something’s an emergency. So suddenly the trade deficit became an emergency and on that basis he issues a one-person rule, even his aides don’t know what he is doing.

Cut out a few bits that were just him referencing evidence (denoted by … ). It’s so fucking important that he is calling out this as something that has been going on since the end of World War II. He is making clear that this is not just an indictment of Trump, but of our entire political system which has slowly ceded power to the Executive for going on 80 years now.

He deserved a standing fucking ovation for these statements and the silence after he speaks is deafening.

This is well worth the watch. Hell, you can even just put it on in the background and listen, you don’t really need to see him.

That moment when you realize Kermit might be a better singer than David Byrne.

You can’t just upload pictures of me to the internet like that.

Or do you just mean something like an ISP cooperative group?

Yeah something more like this.

The real issue is lack of community-run ISPs. We can self-host all we want, but we’re still using the network paths of major providers when data is in transit.

More community run mesh networks. More community run fiber networks. Generally, just more community, less business.

Excel is the one thing LibreOffice still falls behind on. It’s really hard to compete with Excel, specifically.

LibreOffice only really became better after Microsoft started pushing Office365 which made standard MS Office a lot worse. They were on par with each other until then.

The others 100% were always better.

Okay, sure, that’s all valid, but that means nothing when it comes to endless articles wishcasting about the current price. I’ve seen these articles for almost two months now, when Tesla hit its lowest point in 2025 on March 10th. Sure, this could be a dead cat bounce, but until it actually starts crashing, it isn’t anything other than wishcasting.

I’ll give a damn when it drops lower than its lowest point in January of 2023 at $113. It’s got a loooong way to drop before it passes that point. Below that is when the stock will potentially become terminal. Tesla is rigged and being floated by foreign interests, and it’s going to take a lot for it (and the rest of the market, frankly) to come back down to reality. Talking about the reality of how useless Tesla is has almost fuck-nothing to do with how the market acts anymore.

What’s that saying? “The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.”

Lowest it was in 2025 was on March 10th and it’s been slowly creeping back up since then.

Still $100 above what it was a year ago, this is more bullshit wishcasting. It was $157 this time last year. Sits at $254 right now.

What even are these articles?

I fucking hate Tesla but I hate living in a fantasy land when your oppressors “are just about to get their just desserts… it’s just around the corner… we promise.” It’s a joke of a fantasy preying on people who justifiably want to see these power hungry morons suffer as much as all the people they purposefully hurt.

Jesus fake job postings now I’m competing with fake fucking job candidates.

When will this fucking nightmare end?

As if there weren’t enough reasons for a general strike already.

Every ten years, now even less.

1990 - Oil Price Shock / End of Cold War, reduction in defense spending

2000 - Dotcom bust

2008 - Housing Market crash

2020 - COVID

2025 - Trump just being a fucking dumbshit who wants to tear down everything other people built

Four Times a Lifetime, to the tune of Three Times a Lady.

Millennials:

Anyone who thinks the Supremes are going to stop any of this nonsense are in for a bad time.

The majority of them are also fascists. This is what they want, even if it means losing their own legitimacy as a court. They’ll have gotten what they wanted out of it. They don’t care about the future of the Supreme Court as an institution, they are in “got mine, fuck you” mode.

Only Amy Coney-Barrett seems to see the writing on the wall, and that may very well be simply because she’s a woman waking up to what is going to happen to women. She also seems like she is torn between this realization and her own upbringing in the cult that told her this is what she wanted, too.

Precisely why I said that he should do it for himself because it is fun. It’s also why I consider it third date material. Not something you bring up spontaneously, but more that they’ve come back to your apartment and see the photo hanging on your fridge. A casual introduction to it, not forced. It’s hanging on your fridge because it’s genuinely something you had fun doing, not because you wanted to use it to get women.

But, agreed, if the core of the reason for doing it is to attract women, it’s going to backfire spectacularly.

Dating website: probably way too soon to share, just looks cringe.

First date: too soon to share, painfully obvious ploy for attention/trying to stand out.

Second date: getting closer, almost there.

Third date: probably safe to share as something endearing and silly.

My suggestion is to do it for yourself because it is fun, because trying to use it as a token to stand out from other men will be seen as a desperate attempt to be funny/quirky, if you bring it out to early.

You don’t use it to initially capture their attention, you use it to seal the deal.
