I don’t think you should be downvoted for your genuine ignorance to the situation. But now that you have been educated to the reality you should really work harder to educate yourself as to the mechanisms of propaganda that have embedded themselves in the institutions we have been conditioned to believe are the representatives of journalistic integrity which supposedly stand to speak truth to power as we enter into an obvious age of technocratic fascism masquerading as (neo)liberal democracy. A sham form of democracy has never been democratic since liberal democracy fights tooth and nail against economic democracy making it a de-facto class dictatorship nothing more, nothing less.

Hes probably the most left leaning pope the Vatican has ever seen. It is a slight shame but he is still a figure of an institution that has amassed a hoard of wealth keeping it from those who need it most while manipulating history and the public narrative in their interests all while covering up for child predators within their ranks to protect their wealth/interests. What little good Francis has done is unfortunately obfuscated by the awful nature of the institutional monolith he has represented
I love megadeth and pantera. It sucks that those artists have sich disgusting contemptible views. I went to a lamb of god/megadeth concert a couple years back and had to sit through mustaines bullshit right wing ramblings but i made sure to loudly yell out “free palestine” during a breif moment of silence.
I think the right word to use here is “defined”
The same website that posted an article yesterday calling luigi mangione supporters sick for lining up to see a killer they idolize right in the title of the “article” ? its a fucking neo lib conservative corporate turd cutter tongue punching rag. Fuck the dm. Fuck 90% of corporate owned propaganda outlets out there. Ever since regan and then bush senior killed the fairness in media doctrine journalism has almost entirely evaporated and been replaced with boot licking shills cosplaying as journalists
Fascism lite is still fascism, fighting to support a controlled opposition group is fighting against your own self interests. Ballot box socialism/ ballot box activism is a fools errand. We are behind a point where the system will be repaired through the mechanisms of the system itself. The democratic party actively sabotages democracy to ensure class dictatorship continues at all costs.
I am one of those less stable than yourself. I have no job, i live in an old drafty rv and struggle to care for the pets i love and my partner and i. I think those who are too comfortable or comfortable enough think allowing things to continue and fighting to preserve the lesser of two evils is the best option but allowing things to continue when things are already awful we already have a fascist totalitarian police state where wage slavery is the norm where millennials like myself and the younger generations wont have the luxury of owning homes or having a retirement or even social safety nets like social security st this point. I might end up having to survive off canned food and moldy bread from food banks if trump cuts food stamps more than theyve already been cut considering inflation and rising food costs/ corporate price gouging.
Any shade of fascism is unacceptable. Voting for a slightly less awful form of fascism and blaming people who didn't vote or voted for jill stein / delacruz is like shooting yourself in the foot because it wouldn't let you walk off a cliff on purpose.
We are in an age where a majority of what we see is manipulated propaganda that works to silence anyone with my opinion. Look at the reaction to the extrajudicial execution of Brian Thompson / support for luigi mangione. Every social media outlet silenced users who want to see revolution. We get chastised by the “ViOlEnCe iS nEvEr ThE aNsWeR” by the same society that brought you kent state and countless other extrajudicial police state murders. If non violence were so successful then those in power wouldn't have a need for wars or militarized police or the death penalty. These are scared hypocrites who will and can do anythinf possible to maintain their power and present the illusion that what we are seeing and interpreting is a fair and level representation of reality and not a heavily manipulated propaganda filled control mechanism.
Everyone always says its better to have that still point within the ratcheting mechanism to build resistance but its impossible And naive to believe this because the democratic party and the state/ class dictatorship actively subverts and sabotages any movement left and manufacturing the consent of the populace to accept their system and play by their rigged rules.
They can be to an extent. My girl raisin does better she is spayed but her husbun/son felix is intersex and still has his cashews so he still sprays(mostly our cat) and leaves territorial droppings around. But bunny droppngs arent gross like cat/dog / human feces. They are just compressed balls of digested hay and veggies and are mostly dry. A little moist when fresh but after a day they are dried out. If i had felix fixed he would likely not spray our cat and leave droppings in places other than the box. But they do tend to leave droppings where they sleep/nap even if they are fixed so you'll have a nice pile of 100 or so cocoa puffs to pick up when they are done napping. I just am afraid to have felix fixed since he might need invasive surgery if he has any internal female sex organs and he has such an interesting personality i dont want him to loose his spunky attitude after surgery or even worse, its not uncommon for rabbits to have adverse reactions to anesthetics and not make it through surgery. But spaying female rabbits is different since they have a very high 90%+ chance of reproductive organ cancer in old age.
So its a bit more complex than training a cat to use a litterbox. Its probably a little more difficult than even training a cat to use a human toilet with one of those toilet insert training liter boxes you can get.
With bnnnuy comes lots of cocoa puffs. Sometimes youll find them in your jacket or pants pocket, they chew your charging cords (spicy hay) and dig ar your clothes and shirts while you nap. But its all worth it. Youll find hay and bnnuy poops all over the place and just smile because they are too damn cute!
I think many people here are missing the real point underneath all of this. All the Americans who are still so delusional they believe democracy in the usa is functioning are the ones blaming voters who’s conscious wont allow them to vote for an obvious controlled opposition party. Here is the reality. Neo liberal democracy is a farce and always has been. You can not have true democracy without economic democracy. What you actually have in that case is class dictatorship.
We have a ratcheting political system. The right moves in and takes power and leverages everything as far right as they can get away with as quickly as possible, meanwhile the center right which masquerades as a “left party” with their milquetoast virtue signaling of waving pride flags and blm signaling while still supporting the main factor that allows racist ideology to flourish within policing agencies, global drug prohibition and the militarized police and surveillance state that has risen from it, while in power they make every excuse not to move the dial to the left and thus the pawl of the ratchet locks and only allows rightward movement.
The 14 traits of fascism are present in both parties. Albeit more prominently so in the maga right but its still there in the center right democrat party. Both sides are owned by the same exact wall street military and prison industry profiteers this is an undisputable fact. The only one of the 14 traits they can claim plausible deniability in regards to is fraudulent elections however there is more than enough evidence to say that the us presidential election is rigged and has been since reagan and maybe even since kenedy considering the deal that was made with the mafia to get JFK in the white house.
Now we have elon musk buying trumps election in broad daylight and star link satellite systems were connected to tabulation machines in multiple precincts but lets ignore the cybersecurity experts who have claimed that there is legitimate evidence the 2024 election was stolen. The only half truth trump may ever have told is that the 2020 election was stolen but he didn't complain when it was rigged in his favor in 2016 because he doesn't give a fuck about election integrity so long as he benefits from it.
It is obvious to anyone paying attention that nothing in the US will change without a revolution. The democrats fight leftward movement at every opportunity. They disenfranchised sanders voters in 2 primaries and forced tired status quo bullshit onto us and blamed us for the dnc leaks sinking Clinton and then called it Russian propaganda. This all goes back to the thirties and the wall street putsch business plot and then nixon, then Reagan killing the fairness in reporting doctrine and bush also ensuring that was not codified into law. Now we have right wing fascist apologia rags masquerading as true unbiased journalism. 90% of the media we consume all owned by 6 major corporations all circularly owned by blackrock, vangaurd state street and blackstone. Democracy in the usa is dead. If you think it’s still functioning you are naive.
My bad. You’re probably correct considering its been 8 years since I've cut any keys. But i did have about a decade and a half of key cutting experience. I used to be able to cut 3 keys at a time if the chuck would open wide enough mostly just with the wr-1/kw-1/ar-1 and sc-1 blanks. I don't miss finding those damn brass shards in my feet after work though
I did clarify in another comment that it did look like an assa key after this comment. Sometimes those little round keys for special cylinder locks and po boxes were the hardest to figure out.
If its just a friendly convo yeah one parry would def be a dick to share that text dialogue but if you’re involved in a contentious dispute you should just assume your chat is going to be used against you. Single party consent is what allows us to put police and corporations in their place when they are doing shady shit being opposed to it just makes you look like you have something to hide. I know drag is a troll but banning him for posting dm screenshots is just shitty. And then pointing fingers as to who started what and who deserves what after the fact is also shitty. But what evs
Ask your doctor about cocaine today!
And new from the producers of cocaine comes… amphetamine! Youll get so much done in 48 hours your finger tips will bleed while you restlessly stare at your ceiling at 3 am wishing you could sleep!
And from the distributors of cocaine and amphetamines, for that pesky stimulant induced insomnia comes…. Alazropam!!!
Ask your doctor about cocaine, amphetamines and xannax today!!!! Unless you’re poor then they’ll just consider you a drug seeking degenerate and you’ll never be able to get any effective medications prescribed to you ever again! Because nothing fixes the problem of black market drug distribution like cutting people off of a pharmaceutically regulated clean supply and forcing them to procure narcotics on the street!! But look on the bright side at leas prison industry profits are at an all time High and all that cheap slave labor is a boon for the stock market!
