Gross weirdos, too fragile to even have a conversation without making rational arguments illegal.

Power, they wish to conserve any power they can for themselves and their in-group at all costs to maintain the order of using the government to privilege nepotistic wealth concentrated to as few individuals as possible at the top of a socioeconomic hierarchy.

Historically though, before the Trump cult and the reactionary neoconservatives, conservatism was to preserve the authority of hierarchies under traditionalism and started around the time of the French and American revolutions.

Company stooges seems a more appropriate department title than human resources, also who the fuck wants to be called a resource I'm a human being not a number.

Sharon Slater, president of Family Watch International, an Arizona-based conservative lobby group ... spent the past quarter-century working with officials from Africa, Europe and the Middle East to oppose abortion, gay marriage and sex education not centered on abstinence ... She said Family Watch has never supported anti-LGBTQ legislation in African countries and wasn’t “responsible for the treatment of homosexuals under African laws.”

Get the fuck out of here, advocating against human rights and brothers & sisters in humanity for decades has consequences!?

If you put a mirror in front of Musk do you think he'd be able to recognize himself, or would he just start making threatening gestures thinking it was another male ape invading his space?

When my insurance carrier stopped mailing cards they added a request to send the updated cards, pain in the ass but pretty sure most insurers are doing that now to cut corners because they aren't legally required to send them.

I prefer voice controls to either, but don't have a strong preference between physical or digital because I end up looking either way. Subscriptions on the other hand can fuck right off.

I had a friend who got pantsed in middle school on a field trip, pretty sure this is for him.

Citizen initiated ballot measure for a bipartisan drawn district map has helped fix that in other states. Definitely not easy but fixable.

Comer is really good at falling for lies by Russian operatives as the complete grounding for his sham impeachment of Biden and spreading those lies to the American citizens.

 

Been listening to a few lately, a few John Carpenter's, Mayhem was pretty out there, looking for more that are interesting or wildly off topic or entertaining.

 

"In these times of darkness and hopelessness, we wish to share a strong message of solidarity and recognition to those Palestinian journalists who are covering this crisis in such dramatic circumstances. As humanity, we have a huge debt to their courage and commitment to freedom of expression," said Mauricio Weibel, Chair of the International Jury of Media Professionals.

 

Just trying to live with as little advertising as possible and curious what tips or tricks the community has aside from moving out to a cabin in the woods.

I can't really get away from road side advertising for now. Public sporting events are completely infected, and for the ads I am forced to see I try to make a conscious effort not to buy their goods or services. I won't subscribe to a streaming service if they have a sub+ad tier, if they're separate free with ads or sub no ads I'll support it.

Not really for any moral stance, but ad blockers are good at avoiding malware and some services are basically broken if you have to wait for an ad network, and I just feel mentally healthier in general without the extra propaganda.
