It's children whining about how life is unfair but instead of actually trying to do something about it now, they'd rather feel smugly superior as they do fuckall and "wait for the revolution" or whatever.

Do I believe positive change is quick or easy? Fuck no. It's hard work and it takes a ton of us working together. I harbor no illusions that my own singular voice will ever matter on a large scale, and I will happily take up my arms to defend the rights of those whose only crime is existing while lgbtq+/poc/whatever, but I'm gonna vote and campaign and everything I can do in the meantime.

Whether we're headed for a cliff as a species or not is irrelevant, I don't feel the need to hit the gas or sit back while mocking the people who are trying to stop the bus.

Even if I combined all my extended family, close friends, my in-laws, my friend's pepper dad, AND every armed leftist I know into one stockpile, I wouldn't come close to 250k.

This dude was his own logistics depot.

A dozen wasps.

Level of aliveness is irrelevant.

My sister in law with 8 children is "against it as a contraceptive" which I'm not convinced has been a thing for more than a handful of people that wasn't due to lack of proper contraceptive access and education, or mental disorder.

However she AND her religious husband have been "reconsidering" purely from the goodness of their hearts and surely not because the majority of their children are girls, the oldest of which is soon to be a teenager, I'm sure. Definitely not because now it affects their family directly...

And because I'm sure someone will get a giggle out of this anecdote, they forbid any sleepovers with BOYS because they don't want anyone "making purple", but) and completely dismiss the fact that their girls could decide they would rather make pinker pink.

Everett true began in the early 1900s as in 1900-1909.

Nobody had decided to co-opt it for their shitty ideals yet.

Smh my head, it's so obvious now!

Construction companies hate this one weird trick for quick jobs!

Well my days of not taking lemmy comments seriously are certainly coming to a middle

As chonglibloodsport said, it's a numbers game.

When you have enough enemies, and keep making more, you're going to keep getting people who have had enough and don't care about the risk.

If it weren't for the "Russian suicide", putin would have been black bagged long ago by someone who WOULD.

What's insane to me is that someone clearly looked for a list of people to find a REAL name, but didn't bother checking if the owner of that name was still alive and able to say "hey that isn't me, they're lying about being me"

Damn, crazy how they had so many lined up like that and perfectly timed the demolitions for this shot.

That must have taken at least five full minutes of preparation!

Guy with glasses here, no problem reading any of it.

Perhaps it's time to schedule an optometry appointment?

Either way, rude and unnecessary. You do your username a disservice. Not shiny at all. When Mal is rude, it's deserved.
