Most people want to want for nothing…

But once that happens, then you start wanting the extra shit.

And humans are wired to never stop wanting extra shit, like through pretty much all of recorded history it has always taken a lot of work for someone to get to the point of wanting nothing once basic needs are met.

It’s something people devote literal lifetimes too, and still might not truly pull off.

Even if you meant it in a hyper pedantic way like seconds before death, they’d still all either want to live or want to die, the slice that truly wouldn’t care would be statistically insignificant

They seem like good folks. Probably owned by a conglomerate though

It’s way more confusing than I thought it would be…

But basically, yeah. Although some dude that’s been in the beer industry a couple decades put it all together and seems to be preventing them from fucking it up.

Kind of rescued the brand even. They had sold and moved to LA, but under current ownership they’ve moved back to Minnesota. Apparently “the good old days” I was thinking of, have all been under current ownership.

Still not as good as an independent brewer

I’ll drink PBR

Instead of a direct advertising budget, PBR just sponsors random shit.

Club sports, events, random shit like that.

I think that’s the whole reason they’ll stick around. It builds actual brand loyalty instead of random forgettable ads that just burn money.

It popped up on YouTube auto play the first time I saw it and I died laughing

You’re seriously underestimating how beneficial even just annual blood work is…

Maintenance is better and cheaper than repair. People without access to healthcare aren’t doing that, or seeing a doctor till they start having heart attacks and strokes.

if you don’t know you’re sick, you won’t seek treatment. And the earlier the diagnosis the better

If penguins are still dinosaurs, then earth is still solely inhabited by single cell organisms and we’re clearly not.

Eh, I disagree on both parts.

Lots of information out there, but it’s the equivalent of a Forrest full of virtually identical berries, 90% of which are poisonous.

And people are broke as fuck these days, you need wisdom to survive like that, and you earn it the hard way.

It’s just that when they have to devote so much energy to meeting their base needs, they can’t be assed to think about more abstract things.

Which is why the wealthy are never happy unless everyone else has nothing. When we’re comfortable enough to think ahead, we start asking why there’s any oligarchs to begin with. And their propaganda pitting us against each other isn’t as effective.

People are wise, you’re just judging fish by how well they can climb trees

You know what else helps?

Access to medical care…

I just hate how we keep comparing America to other countries and trying to find anything but the obvious reason for why Americans as a demographic are so unhealthy.

You don’t understand…

Someone on the internet disagrees with them

I don’t think you understand what “Lemmy” is…

You came to one instance, to complain about another, neither of which are the instance you’re actually on.

There’s lots of communities where only the mod can post, and they just copy reddit. It’s stupid and annoying, but why does it matter?

Just block what you don’t like and you won’t see it anymore.

What you’re trying to do here just has zero chance of working.

Don’t ever trust that UFO blog for anything

I legitimately don’t know why it’s not blacklisted from communities about actual science.

Even if they’re trying to talk about a real thing, absolutely none of the details or many extrapolations will ever be accurate.

It is worth mentioning that a big reason we keep “over performing” is the current DNC took the giant dragon hoard “victory fund” and has been making it rain on state parties that money was stolen from.

Money doesn’t win elections alone, but it’s allowing all the state Dem.parties to already be operating at campaign levels for the next four years instead of just a few months every other year.

Not trying to distract from the candidates winning, just pointing out that the real reason is deeper than any single candidate and it a reasonable expectation for this trend to continue.

The media won’t talk about it, because they’re fucking pissed they lost one of the only two options.

Kat Abughazaleh

I meant to post her new ad somewhere but never did.

It’s hilarious

The only reason they post this shit is as a distraction.

So the only question reporters should ask is:

Why would trump post such hateful racist shit as a federal employee except to distract from the Epstein files?

Calling him “federal employee” would really piss him off too

Stop fucking calling racist propaganda “memes”

Like, it’s just handing them the “just a joke bro” because they don’t have the shame to even say it when called out anymore.

Racism is about the only part of Trump’s platform his voters still like, that’s why he’s going back to the same old well.

I highly doubt she said that…

And I don’t understand why there’s indigenous people there like she was saying it to them.

The tribe whose ancestral land she lives on thanked her for her comments and bringing attention to the matter…

Did you just see this on Facebook or 4chan and you don’t act know what’s happening?

Edit:

As far as I can tell “EF news” doesn’t even exist, someone just picked two random fucking letters. Probably the name of a Twitter account or something equally stupid.

General strikes are effective…

But if they cancel/rig elections then it’s not gonna be enough. If that happens, we really only have one box left.

No, lots of them openly want this…

Why do you think a bunch of Christian white supremacists are so fucking set on the Jewish people controlling Israel?

It’s because in their fairy tale book, armegeddan starts in a Jewish controlled Israel.

Like, it’s a crazy plan, but how anyone in 2026 can think that means it’s not someone’s plan…

Edit:

Nevermind

Dude is also the singer of a band that is pretty open about what we should do to fascists, and before all this worked backstage on RuPaul’s drag race.

So major props to him not reacting when this happened and he was in character, although it would have been an understandable moment to break kayfab
