Relieved of duties, but I guarantee it’s with full pay - and only off duty until they think the news has calmed down.

Become friends with some gay dudes. Just saying…

Fair enough. I mean, they’ll never not pay attention to whatever moves the money, of course. Brrr! Line most go up! But they’re so far up their own asses who really knows why they do what they do. Cause I’m pretty sure the only thing they’ve figured out is what their own farts smell like!

I actually doubt it will go that far. They’re far more concerned with those precious ad views, and the slowdown from encrypting/decrypting every feed everywhere would almost certainly cause a noticeable downward trend in those ad views.

Israel is always mad. That’s irrelevant.

A bit late for that. Without intervention, Palestine is pretty much already destroyed. Israel has been very clear they are annexing the Gaza strip, and violence in the West Bank has been increasing steadily.

Rather fucking cynical for all these countries to only be willing to recognize Palestine at this stage in the game.

So act. Sheesh, this crap is tiring.

Absolutely! And that’s why I won’t give up hope.

Morning I can do to help you there.

American citizens are inundated with propaganda. In fact, we always have been. The voters are given plenty of involuntary help to make sure they make the right decision.

Don’t get me wrong, the willful ignorance is infuriating. But focusing on that won’t do anything much to address the root issues, I’m afraid.

Edit: changed a word

Huh, don’t know what to tell you. Just tested the link and it worked for me.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This country has never been the place we were taught to believe it was. I think we started to come close to reshaping it into that image, though; this offended the parasitic ultra wealthy sociopaths, so they put Trump in power to remind us of “our proper place”.

No paywall

No, but your reply suggests that you might be a bigot.

Removed by mod

No

I meant what I said, to and frankly can do without the insulting tone.

Eh, Trump is absolute bottom of my list. Even if it’s by a barely measurable amount, I trust everyone more than Trump. No exceptions.

Well, not exactly.

The entire purpose of patriotism is the tribalism; honestly, I didn’t believe a government exists that doesn’t encourage “us vs them” thinking. Now, that’s not to say all nations are xenophobic; but just because it’s not taken to the extreme does not mean it doesn’t exist.

At the end of the day this is all part and parcel of the millennia old class war that has fucked up nearly every society on this planet in one way or another.

It’s not about actual cost; it’s about menu price. The markup on fountain drinks is insane.
