Well, that sucks. Whether you've got a new vacuum to show off, a big loss to mourn, or simply encounter an inconvenience, put it here.

I hate that this meme and dog has become associated with crypto, Elon Musk and Republicans.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Digital cultural appropriation

[–] [email protected] 29 points 15 hours ago

First they came for Pepe, but I didn't speak up cause I didn't post Pepe memes. Then they came for Twitter. But I didn't speak up cause I wasn't on Twitter. Then they came for my Doge, but there was no one left to speak for me.

Or some more smart joke like that.

We've come a long way since dogetipbot :( those were good times

[–] [email protected] 4 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Heh. I found a comment that someone tipped me with that long long ago. It was worth less than half a cent at the time.

Still had it. Sold for $90 iirc a couple years back. Only crypto profit I ever had lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

Bro I don't even want to think about how much I had sitting on a wallet that's now in a landfill

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Huh, someone tipped me, too - worth $150 or so now. I accepted the tip back then, but the address linked looks empty. Can't figure out how I'd get access to the wallet anyhow. Oh well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

There was a whole drama years ago about the creator of dogetipbot running away with all the stored coins. Very sad story, I had around 150k stored at that time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Oh wow, I did not know that. Man, sorry for your lost coins.

Just the inevitable transition from the corporate oligarchy of late stage capitalism, to state-capitalist fascist dictatorship.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 14 hours ago

Not quite, Capitalism has long since turned to its Imperialist phase, but this is the long and drawn out death of the system. The US has been fascist for a long while.

Efficiency.

Gross, AI gen artwork

I refused to believe it was real. It's real.

Jesus we're a joke

[–] [email protected] 9 points 14 hours ago

I think musk is getting off on the new throne from which to infuriate the wokerati. He's trolling. I suspect that this won't rate a blip on the list of shitte things this dept does.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (4 children)

I’m planning on bringing this department up for discussion any time I talk with a ‘true conservative’ Republican.

Please explain how the best way to improve government efficiency is to establish and staff a new department and give it two leaders.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 16 hours ago

I mean the whole thing is stupid but your question isn't very hard to answer for them.

"DOGE will cut out more money and bureaucracy than it creates"

And it may well! But what they're gonna cut is the shit that's actually good for people...

[–] [email protected] 14 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I forgot the name, but supposedly there's a department that essentially already exists that serves this function so it's extra stupid.

It’s like an absurdity onion.

Apparently Ramaswamy is bailing on DOGE to run for governor in Ohio, leaving Eldolf Muskler all by himself (which I'm not sure what's worse).

The main whitehouse.gov site removed the Constitution page from it.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Constitution? Where we're going we don't need constitutions!

[–] [email protected] 35 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Nothing more efficient than creating an entire quasi governmental branch of bureaucracy to oversee the bureaucracy

[–] [email protected] 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Trump government. In no way shape or form is that a US government thing

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

America wanted this, you can say what you want but America wanted this. They voted him into power twice.

He won by far, and got the popular vote.

Have you seen the Spanish version?

https://www.whitehouse.gov/es/

Edit: nevermind they "fixed" it, it used to say Go Home

[–] [email protected] 7 points 16 hours ago

It appears that, before they completely removed the Spanish translation the "Go to home page" button might have been still Spanish and read "Vete a casa"

I dunno if it's intentional or true but it would've been very on the fucking nose.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 17 hours ago

Holy shit. Did you grab a screenshot before they changed it?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 18 hours ago

Joder.

“Go home” is even worse than

[–] [email protected] 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Not that I don't believe you, but I checked archive.org and unfortunately it's not there so hopefully you screen capped it. For me right now it just gives a 404

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

Unfortunately not, I'll try and find a source for it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

Now its a 404

[–] [email protected] 17 points 19 hours ago

The level of cringe, I don't know if the world can handle it.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 19 hours ago

Genuinely embarrassed to be American.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

How did they get this approved

[–] [email protected] 42 points 20 hours ago

They don’t need anyone’s approval. They’re in charge. This is a flex.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 19 hours ago

Americas citizens voted them into the highest office in the land (either directly or passively).

There is no more 'get this approved'; just 'this is what I've decided, deal with it'.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

So ironic. The site does nothing. There's nothing to click on. or any plans/goals. I don't get the joke.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 18 hours ago

The efficiency is in being an ad for dogecoin on a site paid for by taxpayers!
