Yes I'm aware. But those things don't come from nowhere. Cutting off a revenue stream would do more than this.

This is paving the way for American military to be deployed in your country. That's my whole point.
Yes it would do more to limit them than declaring them terrorists. For starters because it's an action based in material action. It wouldn't make the cartels disappear but again, neither does declaring them terrorists.
American soilders killing people.
Do you not think that's what this is laying the path for?
Looking at the past I just don't think American intervention is gonna make anything better. They'd do more by just legalizing cocaine
Easily the worst way to go about this
Seems like you've gotten your own misanthropy confused with some kind of political analysis. Which, is kinda sad.
God forbid you hold people with power accountable. Much better to castigate all the ungrateful plebs.
Crunchyroll revoked their Library Outreach Program which allowed public libraries to access their streaming library for free, destroying anime clubs across the country.
Boo this man!!!
Fucking sigh.
I know it’s all bad faith bs BUT I keep thinking about how the whole “reason” we apparently can’t pass any effective gun control legislation to prevent mass shootings is the idea that we need an armed populace in case the federal government decides to invade our cities and towns. Like??????????
Hey man, can you think of anything happening right now in the US that's a direct consequence of decades of unchecked and unquestioned police overfunding and narratives of needing more and more police everywhere? Anything at all?
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.
Guy whose friends are all wild animals: they should invent a friend who doesn't give me rabies or eviscerate me with their tusks
Reskeeting with alt text Yeah this is part of why digital conservation is so important especially in games Alot of companies don't care to hold onto old data and it's fans that keep games alive
You are two thumb gestures away from a vertical video that gives you a cognitive version of The Ring
So much of fucking society being fucked is people no longer being able to find a just cause for their fists
Just a heads up to anyone using Firefox:
Law of Attraction conclusively debunked. Mass recall demanded for The Secret
It would be pretty neat if it's true
People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.
Smiler ass motherfucker
This seems normal and good. No way this could ever get fucked up and bad.
This dosent change the fact that you gave a significant chunk of your life you to an evil and cruel organization.
Lol. Lmao even. And you imagine yourself a serious person eh?
we’d love to turn off the machine that convinces children to kill themselves, but we can’t really justify losing our ability to lay off customer service agents, now can we?
I vaguely remember reading an essay that mentioned that the research shows one or two people telling a bully to knock it off almost always works, but people don't because they think they will be the target of reprisals even though that dosent happen very often.
My first thought, upon seeing this, is that any company out there needs to start using this tool right away or else they’ll get left behind
I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO CHALLENGE THE CAPCHA TO PROVE WHAT, IF ANY, RIGHT IT HAS TO COME INTO MY HOUSE AND QUESTION MY INTENTIONS.
One thing I like about historians as scientists is they never try to do that clinical detached observer hands off prime directive bullshit anymore and absolutely do start yelling and screaming NO NO STOP STOP when they see people making too much history
"I know your doing good work but sitting down just dosent send the right message in a workplace" I'm gonna burn your house down.
"let's circle back" is actually a reference to how project managers will never escape samsara
About half of the dog owners I personally know have a problem with consent and respecting personal space About half of the cat owners I know have a problem with following through and asking for help All the bird owners I know commited at least one federal crime they were never charged for
I have had at least a dozen conversations this year with otherwise intelligent people who say they know the genocide in Occupied Palestine isn't a genocide because "if it was, it wouldn't be allowed."
Being a lawyer for corporate landlords
It's not that I'm waiting for a perfect politician. My perfect politician would be running on Indigenous sovereignty and Landback, reparations for chattel slavery and imperialism, requiring companies to be owned by their employees, defunding the police, a 100% wealth tax above $100 million,
I am literally begging anyone who does any kind of journalism to spend an hour in an eviction courtroom every week for a month. Please. The eviction crisis in this country is downplayed at best and ignored at worst. It's racialized state violence that hearkens back to the worst of Jim Crow,
We support the accused, even if they're innocent.
Things I learned from *The A-Team* and other 80s shows and should have taken more seriously:
The reason Newsom is being magnified and not these others is because Newsom is a fascist collaborator. He's as willing to throw trans people, homeless, and other marginalized people under the bus with glee. The media outlets run by billionaires happily amplify him because he serves their agenda too.
They took my imp licence for breaking the code. How am I supposed to feed my family now?
I'd watch that.
You are devoid of a moral center.
ONLINE LEFTIST: what if we tried to find a candidate that's good ONLINE LIBERAL: congratulations your attitude just killed us all. we're dead. hope you're happy. we could've just had trans people be dead but nooooo you and your purity tests put a gun to our heads and squeezed. enjoy the camps homo 🖕
Your a spineless shit heel.
Establishment democrats and their true blue voters aren’t sorrowfully throwing trans folks to the wolves in the name of strategy — they’re genuinely happy they get to do so.
there are people who claim that Terry Pratchett would have been a TERF if he was still alive to them I say two things: 1. are you fucking serious 2. go fuck yourselves
I've talked to artists from Europe and it's so wild, they'll be like yeah I just got the grant that pays me a year's full living expenses to write a novel, I'm very lucky, the government only gives out 100,000 of those a year.
we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light
Just spitballin' here...how many more times do we have to see the absolutely concrete evidence that an infusion of cash assistance--be it UBI, rental assistance, or some other scheme--lowers homelessness rates, raises productivity and overall health, etc., before we just...do the thing
Your a despicable piece of shit. Your heart is so broken you don't even see the hatred you've cloaked yourself in. Genuinely pathetic.
I gave my life to christ in the cracker barrel parking lot
I do agree that there is SOMETHING in the conservative brain that keeps them unable to care about others except their people, but I would prefer we don’t call it a disability. For a lot of reasons.
BREAKING: death of anti-ICE protester in Los Angeles @lapublicpress.bsky.social is reporting Skid Row resident Adrienne Villa was found dead in her jail cell while in LASD custody at the courthouse, hours after pleading not guilty to over a dozen charges of alleged assault/battery on a cop.
I'm sorry WHY DID YOU ALL COME BACK??? YOU KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!!!! YOU COULD HAVE JUST STAYED GONE MOREOVER, ICE MUST BE DESTROYED
WILD situation in Texas right now: The House Speaker has required Dems, who just returned from their out-of-state quorum break, to have police escorts once they leave the chamber. One Dem is refusing to leave the House floor with escort, and GOP leaders have blocked press access to the chamber.
I'm gonna keep it a buck. I really do not give a **** if people are stealing baby formula. If you want people to have babies so bad, you should be giving them free formula anyway.
America please don’t make Gavin Newsome president. Please.
e.g.
Every single person who lectures you about "purity politics" or "wanting a pony" lives in a world as divorced from reality as the most terminal Qanon adherent, waiting for the day of reckoning when everyone will have to apologize for making fun of them on the internet
Discworld QOTD, from Unseen Academicals “The Librarian was not familiar with love, which had always struck him as a bit ethereal and soppy, but kindness, on the other hand, was practical. You knew where you were with kindness, especially if you were holding a pie it had just given you.”
None of this AI shit would be happening if you all had posted this on Facebook like we told you to
if you are outsourcing any kind of serious decision-making to a chatbot at this juncture - i think you have lost perspective on your own self worth & importantly, on how flawed the outputs are from these tools no matter what your prompts are.
When a cat is grooming itself and sticks a paw out for balance I like to hi five the paw and say "hi five," it always confuses them
Wonder if they vibe with mountains are trees guys.
YOU - …I don't want to masturbate on the street, okay? ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Whatever, coward.
sorry boss, can't come in today, yeah 2 jabronis in funko pop ass mascot outfits are making me eat blank room soup, yeah boss, whole room's white, soup's probably made of dead guy or something, yeah, yeah, tell the guys i'll probably be back on the jobsite tomorrow, thanks boss, soup's not bad btw
peak respectability bullshit. Doesn’t matter who you’re talking to or what they’ve done or how many lives they pledge to destroy, if you’re anything but nice and polite, you’re just as bad as them. Like getting sent to timeout for getting your ass kicked. guess we’re operating on middle school rules
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo." "Nevertheless," said Gandalf "we must throw our support behind Saruman, for he is the lesser evil"
I feel this but now I'm imagining the version of Lord of the Rings where Gandalf, Elrond, Aragorn, and Galadriel join Saruman and try to convince the Hobbits that they're overreacting
Well fuck.Now I want a town based isekai webnovel.
A pasty is a sandwich and what is a fragmentation grenade if not an explosive and wire pasty?
The absolute cowardice of the fascist mind.
Reporters should all carry bricks and be imbued the legal authority to use them when someone says shit like this

Clearly the answer is Hellraiser. Then you solve the puzzle, rendering money meaningless as you are introduced to new and unfathomable wonders.
We're bringing it back!
Interviewer: Do you have any questions? Me: Truth or dare? I: M: I:.. Dare M: I dare you to give me this job I:(under breath) Damn she's good
i was crying, missing a tooth, could not walk, had an eye swollen shut, & a broken nose, & the cop told me if i didn’t stop leaning on his car & getting blood on his shoes & his stuff he’d charge *me* with assault, so i stepped back & fell over & he laughed & no they never found the guys who did it.
just some advice for the future don't say "i did it" or any variation thereof while being booked
Slamming an essay down people's throats when they say simple and obvious things isnt having a conversation.
Free him.
And even with these measures(assuming they are followed or enforced of course) the conditions are still nightmarish.
Ah that should be fine then. Since the trump administration is so super respectful of court rulings.
Christ you built up a strawman and then wrote that scarecrow a whole ass book where you said absolutely nothing of substance.
The bar is in literal hell
Wired: Give Ilhan Omar a Gundam Inspired: Give Zohran Mamdani a Train with Guns on It
It’s such a fucked up little company man. Just countless guys being like “ok we are selling the patent for perpetual motion we secured in 1979 to a Taiwanese firm to shore up our next project: those little water toys you mainly see in the waiting room for the dentist”
it’s honestly astonishing how many peoples politics amounts to “i became fascist because i was made aware of gender in call of duty”
FEDERAL AGENT PULLED FROM THE FINAL STAGES OF A TEN YEAR INVESTIGATION TO CAPTURE THE KILLER RESPONSIBLE FOR THE "HOUSTON HATCHETMAN" SERIAL MURDERS TO PATROL TOURISTS ON THE NATIONAL MALL: hey. you can't vape there
Hey, remember when a bunch of people were like "how dare you be mad at small indie storefront itch dot io, there's no way they could have seen all this coming and responded in time!!!" anyway here's the site's creator back in 2023 responding to that exact issue by blaming creators
If you only stand for something when it costs you nothing, you don't have beliefs, you have preferences
Once again, to all of my Canadian followers, this is INCREDIBLY ILLEGAL here. No private company can discriminate against LGBT content in any way. It is enshrined in federal law. Call and ask stripe why they're breaking Canadian hate crime laws. Call your local NDP or Liberal party rep and ask them.
This is a pretty good bit.
#SaveSpeech Stripe's phone operators have been sounding much more aggressive the past few days, and every time i call they give me a different excuse for who the "real" reason theyre pressuring Itch etc. Some days they say its govt regulations (they wont say which) others they say Visa/MC
