    I, a total stranger, was thinking of befriending your kid, but before I did, I thought I'd ask you, are they a boring, selfish jerk?

    It's fine if they are, I'm just really trying to find quality people to be friends with, so I thought I'd ask you, is your kid a dick?

    Wait, don't get offended! How are people supposed to know whether to hang out with your kid if you can't answer a simple question?!

    @pluralistic I dunno. Before I buy or read your book, can you check the following terms and conditions and also can it be read while in the bathtub or hammock? It’s really a straightforward question.

    Is this a good time to bring up my deeply held belief that people should be allowed to vote in elections even if they are convicted felons

    Catawu,
    @Catawu@mastodon.social avatar

    @mcc Can’t. They’re sobbing too loudly, saturating their Tree flags with tears of rage and “WHY???” They’ll be right back as soon as they receive their unified programming from the Billionaires’ spokesmodels.

    @Catawu@mastodon.social avatar

    @mcc I think they should vote even if they are in prison. That might bring attention to the overpopulation in prisons, and we might see improvements on how we treat humans we convict.

    Catawu,
    @Catawu@mastodon.social avatar

    @mcc exactly. Prison has become a political industry, and a tool of oppression. It needs to serve a higher purpose and with fewer inmates.

    It's important not to accidently write the sentence in this form: "Trump is appealing."

    Reminder:

    It is not a good idea to to respond to every bit of craziness in the news.

    By "crazy" I mean speculation.

    If we respond (click) all are encouraging craziness.

    People click, and the people spreading crazy get rich and they have an inventive to continue.

    Traditional news publishers learn that there is $$ in spreading crazy.

    In the past, people saw speculation, felt worried and asked me how things work.

    We are then part of the cycle.

    Let's not be part of the problem.

    The Right deliberately set out to sully the word “liberal” and succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. But the Left killed the word progressive all by itself by letting every random group, no matter how extreme, uncooperative, or just fucking nasty, to use it for their own ends.

    I think Andrea Mitchell is drinking again. She is mumbling and stumbling her way through a look at right wing conspiracy theorizing on Twitter and Fox, as if it’s all new to her. It could be.

    Anyone know a better bike derailleur tune up tutorial than this one? he’s good, but the videos just don’t get detailed enough to make it clear exactly what lines up with what.

    @shoq Have you tried searching the sites in England or Wales specifically? I have found their detailed instructions on everything from tune-ups to small appliance repairs, very detailed with very good camera work. Different YTs but just seems they are very much more detail oriented.

    @geonz We’re not done. A lot of lawyers have said from the start that the appeal will be based on 1 thing: Is the application of the law correct, using non-specific, unindicted crimes to be the thing being “covered-up” by the misdemeanor crimes. And he could win.

    And yet, no matter how structurally ignorant, immoral, and craven these Republican are, with distressing unanimity, we, the descendants of the Enlightenment seem utterly powerless to disempower them. They have an iron grip on the balls of our country, and much of our planet.

    Catawu,
    @Catawu@mastodon.social avatar

    @shoq @RaePatterson It’s the constant that runs through them all: The smart ones (rare but they exist) and the incredibly stupid, dull witted ones. They get their orders from a single source conservative tank, and they repeat it, mindlessly, like a hammer to the social psyche. Media monopolies need to divest if we are to begin to get free of the oppressive chronic messaging. Break up monopolies, we can begin to find a healthy balance. This process took decades. It will take decades to undo.

    “Old-fashioned shoe-leather reporting has been replaced by fake people who’ve never set foot in any of the neighborhoods they write about — because they don’t have feet,” says a former employee of a site that purports to do local journalism. Hoodline is a contemptible operation.

    Today, Gov. Sununu reversed himself, and he too will vote for Trump. You’d think the nepo-baby of one of the most craven Republicans who ever lived would have a little more backbone, right?

    Also to that asshole who was whining a few weeks back that it was the BIKE LANES causing traffic in South Boston/seaport, I ask: then explain these dipshits piled up in the clearly marked “Bus Only” lane (signs clearly visible on right and marked on road, which you can’t see because it’s covered with assholes)

    Catawu,
    @Catawu@mastodon.social avatar

    @Wraithe the cause of traffic jams is 2 fold: 1: Cars. 2: Lack of clean, fast accessible, practical rapid transit
