The bank app is telling me to "tap & pay like a boss😏" and "rally my crew". I am 37 years old and you are the bank. Don't talk to me this way.

I like this, reminds me of old book covers from the school library

We spend billions to do this and somehow no one cares
Nooo my precious pool and it's lifestyle accoutrements
this is a watto if it was Paulie from the sopranos
Yeah, what happened to fuck your feelings?
This is so embarrassing. Trans rights are a winning issue obfuscated by misinformation. I have seen trans people advocate for themselves and win over Republicans. If your argument is "but it's hard" then you ain't shit, and will never be shit, and you should go home
DO NOT PUT CHILDREN ON TV TALKING ABOUT A SHOOTING THEY JUST LIVED THROUGH The media who do this are heartless bastards
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
They do defend the constitution, just the constitution that they plan to write once they fully takeover the country

Pretty cool how the richest people in the world just keep adding to the Jenga tower knowing it will eventually collapse, but don't really care because they figure they have the right people in government to make sure the average consumer covers the cost of a crash
We’ve all spent the last decade not doing things because it will “help Trump” and look at how successful that strategy has been!
"Any court that follows the law" Oh, so we're fucked lol
There it is again, that funny feeling
Jeffries Word Salad vs. "He's planning a countrywide Jan 6th to make himself a dictator"
I still see Tyrell Wellick every time I look at Gavin Newsom, so I unfortunately cannot get on the hype train, but you know, good for them for trying stuff. We've had a severe drought of actually trying stuff
This bypasses nostalgia and goes straight to "Move to San Junipero; embrace the sweet release of death" territory.
Thinking about how every time the left and center of left folks cannibalize each other over shit like this, Rupert Murdoch grins and thinks "I love it when a plan comes together"
Babe wake up it's 2007 again
RIP to this man, who I can only assume worked for Dr. Evil
People have gotten their ass blasted raw in the Senate Judiciary hearing room, I'm sure the Criterion Closet happens REGULARLY
Hearing lots of complaints, but all I care about is that Ms Now is single
It's now public knowledge that Sally Rooney will donate royalties to Palestine Action. So anyone buying her books is knowingly supporting a terrorist organisation in the eyes of the UK Labour government. Will they arrest people in book shops? Demand Amazon turn over customer lists? What a farce.
My name is Ghislaine Maxwell and if I die, incriminating evidence against the president will be made available to the press

Calling that Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros song one of the worst of all time is a reaction to the time and place it symbolizes. Obama-era art is cringe because the idea of being hopeful for a better future is cringe. That’s why Bush-era divorced Dad rock is becoming popular again.
Interesting! Let's check back on this later this year to see how things turned out
Kim Davis? I thought that was something Steve Oedekerk was working on, my bad
Yes, you can blame a lot on Dems, but also what the fuck are we doing as citizens. It's very easy to just blame everything on Hillary, but we let it happen. You want normie Dems out of office? Start having difficult conversations with your friends and family about why they are supporting evil things
I just watched The Voyage Home for the first time and I think the secret with sequels is to make them about whales, idk
It’s so wild that Elizabeth Holmes is the only tech grifter in prison. Everything she did seems paltry in comparison to this stuff.
I think he's being too kind, because some of the most blatantly accepted racism I've seen over the past few years has been towards Asian and Indian people. It's so weird to see people just like, not notice this, or argue it's not a big deal.
accidentally fell asleep with two pillows under my head instead of one and now I need physical therapy
Axios headline "Trump's D.C. crime claims don't match the data" OAN headline "Joe Biden is lying about immigration so he can steal your kids and drink their blood" Perhaps there's a reason why one party has been more successful than the other, idk!
behooves us to think with great clarity about the forcing upon society of a tool that—whatever else it does—definitely triggers dissociation, at a time when that country is set to embark on a huge wave of psychiatric confinements + work camps for the neurodiverse, unhoused, & otherwise inconvenient
Highly recommend embracing despair and listening to Dust Bowl by Ethel Cain while walking around your neighborhood at night
I keep hearing about the supposed midterms coming up and I feel like I'm the only one who remembers Jan 6 and that they just do whatever they want now
Some days I feel like this.
What if there were already some sort of contest where people were able to choose between them, I wonder how that would go
Wishing every ICE agent a happy brain aneurysm
Friendly reminder that this would have never been allowed had Kamala won, and even more suffering and death will occur because we allowed Trump to get into office. This is exactly why people who refused to vote for Kamala because of Israel are full of shit.
I mean, how do you know it's not fucking up the transcript though
Working? Is it hard to just not do it? Lmao
my understanding of the way these meetings work is there’s coffee and everyone in the circle takes turns speaking
Bro just log off, no one believes that you actually want this shit, you just love arguing online and it's pathetic lmao
Unless you absolutely have to out of immediate self defense, murdering people is fucking psychotic. It's normal to want to get revenge, but to act on it or even take joy in it? Your soul is gone at the point, you are just a shell pretending to fight for something
I watched The Conversation for the first time today. Cool movie about a jazz musician who gets a little too into another side hobby. Lesson learned, stick to jazz
Damn, I wonder how well you could have seen this from the roof of the Rockefeller Hewitt building, probably a direct line of sight or something
Exactly why Democrats simultaneously get way more flack then they deserve, and not even close to enough flack. No one understands how anything works, so voters just keep complaining about the same bullshit thinking no one is listening, but they won't vote for change if it's incremental
So you’re telling me the Wizard of Oz presented itself as a towering force of overwhelming technology, only to be unmasked as just some guy, off-screen?
Well, I'll be sure to keep you updated on the progress, since I know you care so much
Okay, good to know. Is that it?
Happy to disappoint you! Anything else or are you done?
Whatever makes you feel like you're a smart guy I guess lol
Whatever you say friend-o lol
Because I don't really care what you have been saying this entire time, so I'm not mad about it lol
At least I know I'm in your head now lol
Those poor pixel people, you set their house on fire!
I think the effort it takes to explain the difference between good communism and bad communism to a Western audience is not worth the return on investment, in terms of what is achievable towards the end goal of equality. I think the Bernie Sanders style of messaging is more likely to win people
Because in order to grant the workers control, you must first have an army capable of seizing it from the wealthy. And that army typically is not willing to give back the power, once they have seized. Good idea in theory, harder to accomplish in reality
You're a nice person, I like you and believe the sincerity of what you're saying
You're getting it anyway!
Nope, I iz an ig no ray moose, you got me chief, I'll see myself to the gulag
No, because ad hominem is where you say someone is wrong *because* they are an idiot. I'm saying you're wrong and also idiot
Lol okay, whatever you say bud
Okay, well congratulations on trying I guess? I'm not sure what you want me to say here
I believe basically the same as Bernie Sanders, that we can improve the current system by increasing taxes on the wealthy and using that money to help people in need, while also more closely regulating the treatment of workers. I do not believe private property should be abolished which is communism
Okay, then stop commenting and go help people my guy
I'm a socialist! I am not a communist. Again, missing the whole point of the post, congratulations
Sure bud, whatever you say.
Yes, because the initial post, which you chose to respond to, is attempting to prove this point. So thanks for living up to the stereotype of annoying online leftist guy lol
Nah, I don't need to prove anything to you, just proving the point that your ilk would rather argue until their face falls off than actually do anything of substance or value in the real world
Oh well I guess if it's just that simple, we should get to work doing that! Why didn't anyone else think of building institutions we directly control???
I think I know more than you, and you are the one who is making false conflations based on abstract concepts instead of how these ideas will be applied in practice
I would argue one is definitely more important than the other lol. But by all means, continue to argue with people online who already agree with you on 90% of things
I'm not the one who claims to be a revolutionary bud lol. Grow up.
I got news for ya bud: Arguing with strangers online about abstract concepts you're never going to do anything about doesn't make you a revolutionary either
Is private property allowed under Communism?
Great, and what happened next lol
Interesting! Well good luck creating your army I guess
No, I'm advocating for something smarter than "let's have the military take all the money and promise they'll give it back to us"
Okay, well, if you succeed in a revolution, and now your military leaders are sitting on trillions in wealth and resources, what's to stop them from taking it all themselves and pretending as though they are redistributing it fairly?
I agree with this! But the socialization must be democratic and not controlled by the army, and that's usually where the trouble starts with communism. The people who fought and won the revolution tend to disagree with the military leaders who now control the wealth that has been seized
^Bingo. And that's exactly who will be controlling the wealth, once it has been seized.
Yes! And I want that to stop! Not happen again with a new group of people who call themselves Communists this time
We are talking about communism, not socialism. I've already established that I support socialism.
Nope! I'm just not a gullible moron who believes that all this can be accomplished without giving an armed group massive authority to make arrests and take what isn't theirs
I do see and question that, and that's exactly why I don't like communism. The exact same shit will happen. You end up with the same result: A small group of people controlling everything and deciding who gets fed or not
No small group except those empowered by the State or Vanguard party to seize private property and wealth, correct? Or who will be doing the seizing?
So then you agree that a State would need to be empowered to seize private property or settle disputes on private property versus personal possessions?
And what if my seas disagrees with your sea?
Okay, well perhaps if it's so abstract, you don't even need to call it communism
My apologies, let me rephrase the question for your gigantic brain: Who enforces the difference between private and personal property?
