Man, how can they face down this kind of public humiliation routinely like it’s nothing? I would completely delete all social media if I made this big of an ass out of myself using my real name. It’s like they are completely shame free.
Ah yes, famous free speech absolutist wants to sue people who use their free speech to write about his shithole website. Publishing facts that don’t conform to his warped worldview apparently do not meet the standard for free speech.
Mastodon, as a whole, never claimed to be free speech haven, did it? They have rules like twitter used to have. I’ve never seen Mastodon’s lord and owner (oh snap they don’t have one) claiming to be a ‘free speech absolutist’. You’re obviously salty because you got banned for breaking the rules. Why don’t you fuck off back to twitter?
The first amendment hasn’t changed. It’s the same as it always was. So if you think it’s “mangled” you would have hated it two hundred years ago just as much as you hate it today. A national religion has always been anathema to everything America stands for. And if you don’t like that you can go fuck yourself.

Taco Bell isn’t that cheap anymore. I ate there not long ago for the first time in years and it was over 10$ for the basic taco combo, not even Supreme. And they sucked. They were almost completely devoid of fillings. They are on my eternal shit list now.
I’m just wondering what the title asks: do you organize your groceries in the order you will check them out, if doing self-checkout, or arrange them on the belt/counter in a standard checkout line, in the hope that they’ll be bagged in a specific way?...
I don’t organize them with a mind as to how they’ll be bagged, but I usually put vegetables down first as they take the longest individually to process and put fragile things like eggs last.
What I do wonder is if the cashier is judging me as to the quality of my purchases. Like if it’s all fresh vegetables and grains do I get an A? If I add in a frozen pizza does the score drop to a B-? If it’s just trash like chips and processed junk do I get a D?
Those people have always been around. They want to be a part of the current conversation. And that’s cool. There are plenty of people who wait years to play games until the ultimate version with all DLC goes on sale for 50% off. I’m one of those people. But I also don’t care about being a part of the conversation. I’m just a patient gamer who never spends more than 15$ for a game.
Of course they are. Twitter was bought by a thin skinned fascist and this is all expected behavior. It’s fine to post there for initial awareness, but post your info on other sites as well. Musk can’t delete threads on mastodon.
This person is doing it all wrong. You don’t ask. You demand. “I’ll have the big wet daddy burger”. Don’t apologize for your choice. No please. No thanks. Stare the cashier down as you make your order.
Guys, I have a private message from our cool older bro Andrew. It says… he’s totally going to flee the Romaine. He’s totally going to succeed too. Like who could stop him? Yeah, he’s going to try to flee Rogaine. He told me last night. He sent me an email. It says he’s going to try to flee punishment for his crimes. Guys, he sent me an email. How cool am I?
It really is a bizarre document. I could understand a wishlist or even a future tense fantasy, but the way they wrote it in past tense from a future vantage is just bonkers. It’s so weird.
But looking at the dates it was published a couple days before the actual Brexit vote, which they expected to lose, so I think this was meant as a tantalizing fantasy to use to chide people once the vote failed. But then it didn’t.
Do they care though? For some reason they really want the world to end so they can hang with Jesus, and if they need an antichrist to fuck stuff up first, they’ll be right there voting for him to hasten their doomsday timeline.
Yeah, but they still need to be elected and can’t piss off the trump cult. Pence is almost 65 and after his dismal showing in the primaries has probably decided to quit politics. So he has a little more leeway to speak out.
They’re the same people for the most part. They’ve just been incrementally radicalized over the past few decades. Rush Limbaugh -> Fox News -> Tea Party -> Facebook Conspiracies -> Trumpism -> Q Nonsense -> White/Christian Nationalism.
They sit on the issues wherever they’re told to sit. If Trump says mail in voting is bad they will cheer as it gets gutted even if it inconveniences them personally.
The value of labor was wrecked because Reagan crushed the unions and factory jobs were outsourced to third world countries, not because more women entered the workforce. That was a symptom, not a cause.
State legislators from Florida to Arizona are seeking to ban meat grown from animal cells in labs, citing a “war on our ranching” and a need to protect the agriculture industry from efforts to reduce the consumption of animal protein, thereby reducing the high volume of climate-warming methane emissions the sector emits.
The same reason that they hate solar energy and other alternatives to oil. It’s a “war” on oil sector profits. The environment be damned.
House Republicans are launching a vast re-investigation of the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, seeking to push the blame away from Donald Trump who has been indicted over his actions or his supporters in the mob siege trying to overturn the 2020 election....
Why even bother? Trumpzombies already believe he’s innocent of anything and everything bad that has ever happened and everyone else knows Congressional Republicans are corrupt and full of shit. I guess there’s a few dumbass fence sitters they might sway.
What level of verification is required? Do you have to opt in to watch porn with your ISP? Is a credit card enough? Send them a copy of your birth certificate?
I’m curious if companies will comply or just cut Texas off completely. That may take care of the big paysites and Pornhub, but there hundreds of rehost steam sites and torrent sites that will just ignore it. In which case Texas will have to build their own great firewall.

He wanted to show off that big daddy Tate had written him personal messages and couldn’t wait to show off. What kind of dumbass reads criminal conspiracies on a public stream? A simp dumbass, that’s who.
