Automation and job replacement is a good thing. The reason it feels bad is because we’ve tied the ability to satisfy our basic needs to employment. In an economic model that actually isn’t a dystopian hellscape, robots replacing jobs is something to celebrate.

And to switch our economic model to one in which a person can thrive without pissing the vast majority of our lives away on the grind; we just need to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps!

It’s very human.

One monitor straight ahead for games, 2nd monitor off to the side for discord or some media.

Or 2nd monitor for the map of the game in the first monitor (game devs!! Pretty please?!).

we need more kids, especially when raised by progressive people, because the fascists are having them too.

We’re not going to out-breed stupid or evil. Tbh, having a kid for the sake of shoving them into that death spiral is cruel as fuck.

…also kids aren’t their parents - you can do all the right steps in raising them and still wind up with a fucking Nazi once they leave the house, and now we’ve got a net loss on all fronts.

Vice versa is also true ofc, but please don’t crank out a baby just to use it as a footsoldier in a losing war on a dying planet.

Remember when that actually happened? There’s been so much bullshit since 2021 that I completely forgot about that time we set our ocean on fire until you mentioned it just now.

…but you’re not wrong, it is beautiful in its own terrifying kind of way.

Lol, he’s the admin.

Exercise is definitely a good “try this first” for mental health, but at the same time, no amount of jogging is going to fix something you need medication or therapy for, or the fact that you exist in a capitalist hellscape.

Hearing voices from people that aren’t real is a pretty serious mental condition. I’m convinced religion and all the evil committed on its behalf all just trace back to the root of shit mental healthcare.

Democratic Party struggling to find a new direction

Don’t be so dramatic, they just want to make sure your dog passed a mental health assessment and has completed a gun safety course. Guns are far too prevalent in dog culture for the government to just swoop on in and take them all. 🙄

…there are no bad dogs tho.

I took a concealed carry course ages ago, and it helped to instill a healthy level of paranoia about unintentional discharge.

My takeaways were:

• fuck semi-auto pistols. Many working parts means many points of failure; carrying with a round in the chamber is dangerous as fuck, especially combined with a hair trigger; even if you don’t think there’s one in the chamber, there’s no good way to verify visually without opening the chamber, and even then people tend to give themselves a false negative and carry hot thinking they’re carrying safely; if you don’t carry hot, you have an extra step to perform under panic-levels of anxiety, aka you fumble with a gun-shaped brick for a couple seconds while your assistant proceeds to murder you; and blocky shape = blocky imprint = you’ve made yourself a target before a potential altercation even begins.

• Revolvers are the way cuz ^that. And the imprint is more varied, making it conform better to your pudge and not stand out through your clothing. But even among revolvers, fuck any that have an external hammer, which can get snagged on clothing or something, pulled back partially, released, and strike a round causing it to fire without even touching the trigger.

• Internal hammer, double-action-only is the way, cuz ^that.

• Load one round fewer than the cylinder’s capacity, then close the cylinder with the empty chamber on top / in line with the barrel. Your gun is now only physically capable of firing by fully engaging the trigger. You can drop that fucker out of an airplane, and when it hits the ground it goes thud, not bang. Also, since the back of the casing seats further back than the back of the cylinder, there’s a gap that you can look into to visually assess whether or not there are any rounds loaded; and where or not the individual chamber in line with the barrel is loaded (hot).

Absolute safest way to carry. Only downside is you only have 4 shots to work with, but if you need more than that, you’re probably dead anyway.

I use duck duck go, it does the trick 99% of the time, especially if you use extensions to remove specified websites - like Pinterest - from the results.

Kinda redundant.

YES. My suggestion was to mark Trump as the Nazi he is - currency with Nazi iconography on it is not fit to be reissued. It’s a petty protest, but the point is to make the proposed new bills inconvenient and convey a clear message until they’re inevitably pulled.

Except by the wording of the specific law in question. o_O

I’m not seeing the disconnect here. Nor the need for the disconnect in the first place: the first post I made here was to encourage people to deface prints of Trump. If you disagree that there’s a legal barrier to doing so, then cool - all the more reason to deface our traitor in chief.

Why are you wrapping random words with quotation marks? It reads like it’s being spoken aloud by Dr. Evil. Anyway, gonna go with the wording of the law itself over a wiki article about it:

18 U.S. Code § 331 - Mutilation, diminution, and falsification of coins

This one’s specific to coins. Anecdotally I was always told they were legal because pennies are explicitly an exception to that law. So, it’s either that or it’s in j-walking territory where it may be illegal, but no one gives a shit enough to enforce it.

…also coins aren’t really relevant here anyway - the conversation is about defacing paper bills if they decide to soil them with Trump’s traitorous image.
