I have tendonitis because exercise is how I cope with the rise of fascism and I overdid it because, well, I think I now live in a dictatorship.

Now I can’t exercise. And camping season just started for me. I’m staring out the window longing for the woods and the deserts and the mountains of the PNW hoping it will all still be there in a few weeks when my body is healed.

Alan Wake 2 has great voice acting. I think the main character is just naturally more subdued and when compared with the theatricality of BG3 it just seems worse if you’re expecting that style.

This is not a shitpost. Politics need to stop leaking into shitposting and meme subs.

You have a point. I’ve been wondering just how senate Democrats could possibly approve all these wildly incompetent boobs to these powerful positions. Maybe they want the worst people possible in these positions so that this administration implodes on itself.

But that could be giving them too much credit. It would mean they weren’t entirely spineless…

I’m autistic and trying to figure out if autism is an at-risk minority group. It doesn’t help that I was extremely vocal on Reddit about how much I hate Trump and Musk. I deleted my account, but Reddit is now a fascist platform and would likely turn over my posts and email address to this administration without a second thought.

I’m not sure what to do. I’m not sure if I could even leave at all, with my debilitating anxiety and trauma.

Even their torches are cheap. I expected a capitalistic “our main products are cheap but we getcha on the extras” but was pleasantly surprised by their torches. Thanks!

I’ve never had a dry vaporizer before, so I’m looking to buy my first. Anyone have any suggestions for information resources or specific products I should be looking at? Someone mentioned the TinyMight 2, but it doesn’t really seem like an entry level model. But maybe I should just go for the best.

I tend to consume smaller amounts of cannabis at a time, so a model that has flexibility in terms of hit size would be ideal.

I was feeling all combative and shit because the title promised me plural owls and the post only contained owl. But the images in the comments have satiated me… for now.

Carry on. These are some high quality birds.

It took a moment for this delectable meta humor to register in my brain. Top notch.

Fair enough. I didn’t mean to imply that we’re as good as the French at protesting. I don’t think anyone is. They are the world champion protestors. I wonder what platform they use to organize.

Yes, I covered that in my comment.

Are you saying that if the people organizing the event aren’t members of Congress, that they will be targeted and vanish? That’s a scary thought. Perhaps the leaders should be kept anonymous.

I would argue that we are. 21,000 in Paris is very similar to 34,000 in Denver. The thing us Americans need to get better at is organizing ourselves. We shouldn’t require leaders like Bernie Sanders and AOC to get us to show up. The regular people of France are amazing at protesting on their own, and we desperately need that kind of energy.

This is one of those comments where I didn’t realize how badly I needed to read it until I did. This kind of support from the countries our dictator is actively alienating is extremely beneficial for morale. Thanks!

Deal with it? You mean, like, primary you and the 9 other simps who voted for this bill? Okay. That’s good advice, thanks Fetterman.

Last Week Tonight did a story about dollar stores:

Yeah, they’re as bad as you’d expect.

I hope you’re right. Zelenskyy not being a politician probably helped him win an election in a country with a history of corruption. People were sick of the status quo and picked an outsider in the hopes it would improve things. It would be great if that happened here. (I don’t consider Trump an outsider, that was just part of the grift)

Part of the reason it can be annoying when people keep suggesting Stewart run for office is that it distracts from actual candidates who are willing to run. And false optimism isn’t exactly a good strategy in times like these.

I would love to be proven wrong, though.

I do. It doesn’t change what he has said repeatedly: he has no interest in running for office.

The kind that is supposed to be an animal, but has successfully separated itself from nature through technology. Modern humans are plagued with anxiety and negativity bias, because those things kept our ancestors alive long enough to reproduce. The happy, anxiety-free people were careless and died before they could reproduce.

Why do people keep saying this about Jon Stewart? He’s a comedian, and he has said over and over and over and over and over that he will not run for public office, ever.
