2008 libertarian to 2012 socialist curious, started frequenting the Chapo sub in 2017 and came over here when it was banned.

I’ve stayed because y'all are way funnier than anyone on Reddit and your hearts are always in the right place… seriously, there’s like a utopian level of kindness here. Oh and no ads!!!

Plus someone here introduced me to Black Dresses so I consider you taste makers as well.

2019 libs yelling at Bernie for saying post revolution gains in Cuban literacy were a good thing.

“What the return of Trump means for sales of my next airport book.”

Wouldn’t want to waste the rest of his political capital…

Both of them are on a shelf reserved for pickup by this guy who reserves tons of shit and never picks any of it up. No I can’t remove it and sell it to you, my boss has been very clear about that.

NGL, money pythons sound pretty scary.

I log out for 14 hours and suddenly the references are completely indecipherable. Hexbear is a cultural vanguard.

Welcome back. Big fan of your early work.

It’s my lib coworkers favorite subject so I’d have to call out to avoid knowing

Same. Your animal brain wants to survive and your analytical brain has clocked that at some point that is impossible. Your animal brain may panic as it looks in vain for a solution. It’s future tripping over an unsolvable problem so I try not to think about it much. I am going to take the suggestion below to try meditation.

“It’s a matter of life and death, literally,” said Stacie Quigley Cormier, who penned the open letter signed by 48 patients and family members. “They can be saving lives potentially and so it is inexcusable that they’re not moving forward to find solutions.”

Neoliberalism is an uncaring god.

Haven’t heard that name in many years.

Weren’t they turning away anyone they thought looked Arab a few months ago at rallies too? For some reason my brain wants to say there was an incident at a Vegas rally?

but at what cost

I love John Brown but will shamefully admit some of it comes from a vestigial West Wing brain compartment that reads all his letters and speeches and feels intoxicated by the illusion of them powerfully moving people to change. I’ll still enjoy them as a treat but I’m trying to kill my inner Aaron Sorkin.

Didn’t Andrew do some shady groomer shit or something?

I love this place not just for its awesome people and good politics, but also because it isn’t designed by tech bros trying to shove ads down our throats or increasingly taking away basic features to sell them back at a premium tier. We get to loiter here and exist for free.

Aww I enjoyed the movie. Yes it was telegraphing its morals so hard it came off like a kid movie at times and some of the internal logic is incredibly silly, but they got a bunch of dumb American meat heads to watch a movie where America was unequivocally the bad guy and they showed what these horrifying conflicts look like from the perspective of regular people just trying to survive

Thanks to neoliberal regulatory capture this stoppage probably just means VIS gets to send some of their staff home and keep all of the FEMA money.
