What does it mean if it’s considered a lemon?
This is it.
People keep insisting that the populace would win a war of populace against state… maybe it would, I don’t know and it’s not the problem.
The problem is a war of half the populace against the state and the other half of the populace. Fascism is carried into power by popular demand, it’s not like one day they just appear on the levers of power and have to put up with a revolting population. They will have been put there by the population, and it will be the better armed half of the population.
Thank you for your service
Yes! Did you know that they can’t hear their own mating calls?
Torches! Torches and Pitchforks! Get your Pitchforks at the Pitchfork Emporium!
For every two Pitchforks sold you get a free torch! And not those silly tikki-torches either!
You could think about emigrating. We’d love to brain drain the US… more.

If I’m elected president, I will…

Bring on Donald Trump as my apprentice. When my presidential term is complete and he has obtained his black belt, or whichever comes first, he can buy the White House and of course rename it (to, what else, “The Trump House”).
Create new immigration legislation: to deport all liberals (then force them to listen to Bill O’ Reilly every day for five years, at which point they may return).
I remember you! From a discussion about people being barred from voting for certain criminal offenses.
Your username is very rememberable.
No, but the reason for it is one of safety, not morality:
Every bacteria, virus, fungus or other germ that can contaminate that lab and that meat is already adapted to hurt me, there is no species barrier. Nature generally abhors cannibalism because of this.
Now if you grow it in a lab, that might not be too much of a risk, but once you enter capitalist industrial production there are numerous incentives to cut corners and increase the risk of contamination.
Contamination also exists in factory farming, but at least there, there’s a species barrier and the impact of that cannot be overstated.
Alternatively, you’ll create a swamp of human meat factory farms that use huge amounts of antiviral, antifungal and antibiotic agents and just get soooooo much more effective in training multi-resistant germs, already adapted to human tissue.
Russia, over Ukraine, hand on their throat, continually punching a country that desperately tries to defend itself, red faced with rage shouting at the people standing around the fight and trying to help Ukraine from the sidelines:
“YOU DAMN WARMONGERS!” punch “ALL YOU WANT IS TO THREATEN ME!!” punch, punch crack “WHY CAN’T YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?!!1!” punch
Man, I’d love to see her as a beleaguered ruler struggling with questions of morality in a fantasy show. Just imagine seeing her wrestling with life-or-death decisions concerning hundreds if not thousands of her subjects.
This is it, it’s the perfect example of adaptation through sexual selection.
Oh Ukraine absolutely should be allowed to join NATO asap!
But the failure of many EU states to defend the rights of their citizens doesn’t mean we should let more people opposed to those rights join the Union. I firmly believe that the EU should be the shining beacon on the hill. That we come together to defend our rights, ensure peace and seek cooperation across the continent, but always, always in the pursuit of the lofty ideals of humanism, the enlightenment and social justice.
I am fighting the right at home, I have no intend to supply them with reinforcements.
If LGBTQ+ people serving to defend Ukraine don’t receive better legal standing than they have right now, I would be opposed to letting Ukraine join the EU after the war.
The supposed western values Zelensky claims Ukraine is defending imo. include equal rights for Gender, Romantic and Sexual Minorities (GRSM)
My support during the war though is independent of that. Let Putin eat shit.

Was ist denn mit der furchtbaren Wirtschaftspolitik der AfD? Der schrecklichen Außenpolitik? Der Spionage und der Propagandamühle für Russland? Der Europa-Feindlichkeit? Was ist mit der total verfehlten Verkehrspolitik? Mit der Einstellung der AfD zur Ungleichverteilung? Zu einer ausbeuterischen Arbeitspolitik die den Raubtierkapitalismus als Traumziel ausweist? Zu einer Kriminal-, Rechts- und Drogenpolitik die uns in die dunkle Zeit der 50er Jahre zurück führen will?
Ist ja nicht so dass die nur in wenigen Feldern Arschlöcher wären, die sind obendrein in allen Feldern gefährlich unfähig, verschwörungsbesessen, nationalistisch und hyperkapitalistisch.
Dafür können sie bald live miterleben wie die SPD europaweit die Chatkontrolle einführt! Yay…
I was very very lucky.
I turned 26 when I heard myself coughing like a 66 year old chainsmoker with cancerous lungs, found I was unable to run up stairs and out of breath after carrying groceries inside. I had to have a cig every morning so I would be able to have a shit at all, but if I did… that first drag sent me rushing to the bathroom, it got so bad, I had to light the first one while sitting on the loo, or i’d shit my pants.
That’s when I found myself disgusted with myself. I stopped, I simply stopped. From 38 cigarettes per day to 0. I am so happy it worked, because I am a very easily tempted personality and tend towards addiction in anything that gives my brain pleasure.
It took a year before I completely stopped coughing and two years before I could run up those stairs again, but one day I simply realized “Oh my! I’m not out of breath. What… what happened? Oh, yeah I quit smoking! Damn this feels nice!”
Thank you
