So when are republicans changing the plaque on the Statue of Liberty to say
“Get out you tired, you poor,
You huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to El Salvador,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
because the current one is way to woke and liberal?
The wine? No idea since I’m in Japan, but they do export uite a lot, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s at least one or two importers in the US. Not sure about the price though, with all the psychotic tariffs being applied and taken back and reapplied seemingly every week…
We’ll all have to make a conscious decision as to whether we will resist, collaborate, leave or just try to keep our heads down until it’s over.
I’m not particularly optimistic about which option most (or even just enough) Americans will choose…
Haven’t done extensive research on it, but the lifetime guarantee on Darn Tough socks has made me their loyal fan and I recommend them to others too. I feel like they stand behind their product I stead of trying to constantly find new ways to nickel and dime me.
Another one is an Italian winemaker, Podere Pradarolo (https://www.poderepradarolo.com/). They make table wines, are not ashamed of it, don’t try to position themselves as premium wine producers, and the owner refuses to raise the prices beyond the bare minimum that allows him to keep operating. They’re not in it for profit, and it shows in their wines - they are fantastic for what they are and I always have a couple bottles at home.
True. At the same time, this magnitude of opsec fuckups can, and often does, result in people dying, which is fucking sad and infuriating…
It’s going to make it SO much easier to add correct people to secret group chats when their usernames and profiles are anonymized! Fucking morons as far as the eye can see, holy shit…
Same way they “solved” COVID before - the number of infections will not rise if we stop counting!
To people with self awareness, a sense of shame and at least a bit of integrity it sure would be!
Was he a drag queen? No? Damn, those child molesting drag queens are super sneaky, aren’t they? How do they molest all them kids without ever getting caught? /s
Consequences? As in, sequences of cons? Because I’ve seen a lot of those already - Trump’s whole damn life is a con sequence…
Doesn’t even have to be an actual war - this government showed that they can redefine words to mean whatever they want (see them invoking a wartime law recently), so they might as well define drag queens as an invasive species, declare war on them and implement martial law/suspend elections because who’s gonna stop them?
Department of Obvious Grift and Extortion perhaps?
Do they also require us to keep our doors unlocked and blinds open, so they can lawfully check on us whenever they please? Or perhaps they want to also install cameras in bathrooms and shower rooms too? All lawful of course, and for our own good…
Haha, it was a prank bro! A social experiment bro! Totally for real bro, I was just testing you bro! Bro!
Just the web interface for me - it does everything I want, so I have an instance of Firefox on my phone dedicated to social media, with always open tabs for Lemmy, Discuit, Tildes and Pixelfed.
Resembling? Yeah, sure. He also engaged in rhythmical chest expansions resembling breathing, and arrived at the podium by putting one foot in front of the other, in a manner that might be interpreted as walking in some circles…
For fuck’s sake, the word mincing is driving me fucking insane…
True, and you’re right of course. I just wish there were at least SOME consequences for at least some of this shit…
Or a manager of a china (as in porcelain) shop. “Yeah, I’m the president of China… and fine dining utensils incorporated in Chattanooga Tennessee”
