Clearly she’ll only be accepting presents from Stein and de la Cruz voters.

But how will we get more source material for YTPs?

Nah, I fully believe that some Western “journalists” are just that braindead.

From a Vox article titled "Why Ukraine thinks it can still win over Donald Trump":

But Trump has also expressed some grudging admiration for Zelenskyy, a fellow TV star-turned-politician who has demonstrated he knows how to close a deal. “I think Zelenskyy is the greatest salesman in history — every time he comes into the country, he walks away with $60 billion,” Trump said at a rally in September.

That's not admiration Vox, that's a criticism him suckering the US out of billions of dollars.

Semi-related reminder that DeJoy is still head of the post office. A majority of the board that appoints (and can fire) him is now Biden appointees and they've done nothing.

As funny as it would be if someone actually did this, it feels kind of

blacks-rule

Who would write “fent”? Right-wingers fearmonger about fentanyl but no one on the left cares (because the fearmongering bullshit).

And “Elon 4 President” is just a little confusing. Why would you write that as graffiti on a bazingamobile and also alongside “Fuk Trump”?

Plus conveniently the driver’s side window and windshield are left clear.

"Middle class" is a term tailor-made to get workers thinking "well I'm not in the same boat as those people" and primed to punch down or pull the ladder up.

That's basically what I said in my last sentence, but at the same time you can't discount from a leftist perspective that some working class are poor and barely getting by while some working class are rather comfortable, and that those two groups have somewhat different material interests despite both being part of the working class. Of course that fact is definitely used to pit those two sections of the working class against each other to the benefit of the owning class.

The middle class is part of the working class ("upper middle" is arguable, but many are still workers not owners afaik, just high paying jobs). Obviously not all of it, but depending on the definition it's the same amount or more people than the lower class.

That of course doesn't change the fact that 1) they're basically saying they don't care about the lower class and 2) the contents of that plan are definitely some neoliberal bullshit that barely if at all helps most of the middle class. And of course the distinction between lower and middle class purposefully exists to stifle consideration of the reality that it's actually a working class vs an owning class.

tbf the latter looks like a much more accurate portrayal of a fascist eugenicist.

Ehh, whatever it takes to abolish NATO.

How have we taken the most autistic job and tacked a stupid, worthless, autistic unfriendly process on to it? (the answer of course is capitalism)

I want to quit but I can't get another job and even if I could it would just be more of this shit.

 

I wanted to block Google's shitty AI results. Ok it looks like I can add &udm=14 to the url to do that.

Let me just add a custom search engine in Firefox... oh wait apparently you can't add custom search engines anymore. You have to install an extension for that.

Ok I found an extension that does it but it makes Firefox say "search with [extension name]" instead of "search with Google" and the icon is different which is annoying.

Should be an easy fix, just download the extension's source and modify the manifest.json to name it "Google" and change the icon to Google's.

Alright now let's install it and... "This add-on could not be installed because it has not been verified." Wtf I have to sign my own add-ons just to use locally?

Fine whatever download the shitty npm program to sign the add-on (it downloaded 400 dependencies btw). Oh wait I need an API key to sign the add-on to use it locally. I'm not getting a fucking API key to run local code.

Oh good there's actually an about:config setting to disable add-on signing... and it doesn't work anymore.

screm-a AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Is there a good Firefox fork that undoes this bullshit but otherwise keeps up with the main codebase and isn't a pain to switch to?

 

Damn disposable vapes are a huge waste.
