And why not? Isn’t that where the US gets theirs?

Exactly. The media DID run lots of segments about Trump’s illegal activities - in 2015, in 2020, in 2024. Fucking Americans voted for him anyway - god-damned 79 million amoral imbeciles. Another 85 million pieces of shit sat on their asses and did nothing while he got re-elected. Now he is persecuting his critics. Can you blame the press? Why report on Trump’s crimes if you can be jailed or murdered by one of his goons just so millions of cretinous Americans vote for him anyway?

When the people elect a criminal to do criminal things, the press has no responsibility to catalogue his crimes. Trump’s crimes aren’t news - they are his public record as president. America asked for this - for the first time in 250 years, the USA has the president it truly deserves. People say Trump is a liar - what a fucking laugh! He is maybe the most honest politician I have ever seen. “Vote for me and you will never have to vote again.” He told you exactly what to expect. Don’t act outraged now.

Downtown Toronto. I already live here, I’m mostly solo, I’m already broke, I’m already surviving. This game is easy.

When I was being encouraged to use Copilot at work, MS made it clear that their product was intended for “entertainment purposes only.” I was sooooooooooo entertained.

Imagine how entertaining it would be to get medical advice from an LLM instead of advice on how to do the job I did just fine for 10 years before LLMs were invented. Very, very entertaining.

Christian dudes going to an all-male gym? Oh, you better believe they be lusting.

Nice!

I always hated that I only get to pay for my computer once.

We should hire Trump’s pool guy and pay him $5M to say that he took care of it. Problem solved, for cheap.

Go ahead Mr. Fetterman: improve the Democratic party.

I think the importance to Americans of a murdered person’s immigration status says a lot about the country.

Reading glasses. Both he and Trump just turned 40.

Oh no, the boycott we initiated with the explicit intention of causing DEVASTATING HARM is causing devastating harm. Fie on intended consequences!!!

This is actually Iran taking the high road. They aren’t threatening women, children, or even American soldiers. Only America’s talking asshole.

USA outclassed again by a backwards theocratic autocracy.

This article makes it sound like we have a traditional stock market where people buy shares in companies they expect to make a profit. In fact, this is a speculation market, where people buy shares in companies they expect to become more valuable on the speculation market. Everyone is just trying to outguess the herd - they tell themselves, “if I time MY sale right, I can get out before the crash.” The whole thing is a game of chicken. Nobody expects these companies to turn a profit proportional to their spending.

Yarrr, it be a good shitpost. Stupid, provocative …

To be fair, incompetently painting it WAS vandalism, so Trump has spoken the truth.

Oh no!

RFK is now Anthony Fauci without the charm, education, intelligence, humanity, and experience - a sort of MAGA-fauci!

Hey republicans: you know that idiot that everyone said was an idiot and that we all warned you was an idiot? Turns out he’s an idiot.

And a liar. And a diddler.

I upvoted this comment even though i have experimented with mushrooms extensively. i used to think they were fun. i still do, but they are also sacred and occasionally terrifying. there are real health risks.

i would never tell someone, ‘don’t’. However, i would say, ‘don’t unless you have a reason’. i treat shrooms like prescription drugs now.

Ok, so i was treated really bad in school. I know what the other kids did to me was fucked up but years of mistreatment alters your self-perception. I had never managed to shake the idea that i deserved what i got.

One time i did so many mushrooms that i just lay gibbering on the couch, staring at the ceiling. Wave after wave of dancing mandalas erupted from the bare drywall. This gave way to a million images that flashed one after another and seemed to change faster than the eye can possibly perceive; of course, i was not seeing with my eyes. It was such an incredible experience i later searched the Internet for a word to describe it (that word is phantasmagoria).

Among the images were recognizable glimpses of places i had been, toys that i had forgotten i had ever owned, scenes i had only witnessed in dreams…

The visions were composed in the way abstract paintings might be: occasionally symmetrical, always balanced, and delightful to behold. i am not embarrassed to admit that i cried, it was so beautiful. Like, i am choking up right now just remembering.

Here is my big realization: the visions did not come from the mushrooms! The mushrooms were just the key. The visions were me - my brain, displayed in gorgeous tableaux for my viewing pleasure.

I saw myself, and it was fucking beautiful.
