And if all your friends are hyper focused on tech and decentralization and open source software, they should have no problem switching!
If, on the other hand, you have friends who fall into the rest of the 99.9% of society, they will react like you suggested they replace all their meals with raw potatoes.
Wrong info, my bad
This shit is exactly how things were reported in the runup to the 2024 election. Even if they don’t fuck with the elections, I am confidently predicting the midterms are not going to be a blowout like people are hoping.
The Dems might, might, barely squeeze out a majority in the House. And then starts the age old game of having to capitulate to the 2-3 congresspeople who say they’re Dems but vote with the GOP every time.
Not a snowballs chance in hell of Dems winning the Senate.
People are going to be hit with a truck of reality come the mid terms. Not that they’ll learn anything. Next election will be the same shit of “we’re totally going to win guys!” before fizzling into nothing.
If you are hoping for the midterms for justice to be served against this administration, keep dreaming. It’s not going to happen. Ever. Trump will die before he ever sees the inside of a courtroom regarding Epstein. No matter who the next leadership is, they’ll choose to move on without giving any consequences in the name of “unity”.
And the people will grumble, and ultimately do absolutely nothing about it.
Did you ever watch parks and rec? Do you remember the episode where Ben is working on a senatorial campaign and the Senator is essentially a robot? He comes out, makes some generic statements on camera, says a few scripted lines to the people around him “stay cool, it’s a scorcher out there!”, and then goes into a room and stares blankly at a wall until they need him for something else.
That is essentially what a good portion of our politicians are like. They make no decisions. They have no opinions or thoughts of their own. They are surrounded by handlers every day who tell them what to wear, where to go, what to say, and how to vote. They have zero autonomy of their own. And unfortunately, this is far more apparent on the left rather than the right. I don’t get why people are surprised that the Dem leadership has been so ineffectual; it’s essentially just a collection of cardboard cutouts with voice recorders going “When they go low, we go high!”
Why would someone be humiliated that their money laundering scheme is laundering money?
You people don’t honestly believe she gives a shit, right? And you certainly must recognize this movie as just being a grift, and that it wasn’t made with the intention or expectation of being successful, right?
Please tell me you all aren’t that fucking blind.
People suspected fox or pig urine and I just don’t understand. Who would plan out an attack, knowing they will go to jail for it, just to spray some pee on someone with a syringe? Like I know we aren’t dealing with the sharpest tool in the shed here, but damn…
Your title originally left off the part about it just being a judges order and simply said he was to appear in court.
Change your title. You make this seem like it’s definitely going to happen, when that is far from the case.
Not only has Todd Lyons given no indication he will comply with this order, but the Judge even gave him an out. If they release a guy who was already ordered to be released on the 15th, Lyons doesn’t have to appear.
I doubt that Lyons ever winds up in the same room as this judge, let alone a courtroom.
Edit: Title previously stated “ICE Chief to appear in court…”
“How can we trick the public into thinking we’re pushing for change while not actually doing anything AND getting kickbacks for ourselves?”
If things continue the way they’ve been going, you’ll be dead either way.
Yea, I’d agree with 7th and 8th. 13-14 year olds are old enough to be relatively smart and know what things can hurt others, but young enough that most haven’t fully developed a sense of empathy. While most kids are relatively good, more than a handful will exhibit literal psychopathic tendencies that would get any adult labeled as highly dangerous or criminally insane. And they locked us all inside with them.
I’m not exaggerating when I say those were the darkest days of my life. High school wasn’t much better, but holy shit middle school was definitely responsible for the majority of my childhood trauma at the hands of my peers.
Your cynical take is far more optimistic than mine. I am more of the opinion that these incidents will be treated like the race massacres from post-civil war reconstruction: almost entirely forgotten and barely talked about. Actually, it will be even more forgotten than those. People died in those incidents by the thousands. No one is going to remember a few protests with a handful of injuries.
You also don’t need a parks pass to visit the national parks… It’s not even all that economical.
Sounds like a great way for the parks department to lose even more funding.

DO. NOT. TRUST. POLLS.
This feels like a fucking repeat of the 2024 election. The internet naively believing they know the outcome, because certainly people can’t be that ignorant and shitty, can they?
They can.
They are.
Go talk to people in the real world, instead of reading articles written by fellow shut-ins, and realize that the narrative is FAR different for the average person. You people are setting yourselves up for disappointment. Again.
My prediction is the Dems will pick up just barely enough seats to take back control of the House. Not a snowballs chance in hell of taking back the Senate.
And off to Fox News to be a pundit, still making millions of dollars per year.
I’m still of the VERY strong opinion that Hillary and Kamala didn’t lose because they were women, but because they were Hillary and Kamala.
I don’t know, but maybe we shouldn’t base our gender litmus test off of literally the most unlikeable women the DNC could have picked.
If we’re going by US population (or most western countries population) women are not a minority. There are slightly more women than men, about 98 men per 100 women according to the 2024 census.
Sure it’s a technicality, but you claimed the opposite was a technicality, so I figured it was important to clarify that your technicality is technically false.
Because, shockingly, Discords user base is not made up of people hyper focused on tech and decentralization and open source software. It’s mostly people who just want to play video games with their friends.
