But my founding daddys!

This is why you all need to vote. If we had blue judges in the Supreme Court this would have never happened. As long as you vote we will have democracy back in about 300 years.

I lack the “competitive spirit”. I used to play sports a lot and was above average in the group I played I played with. While I think competition in sports can be and is generally healthy, I always saw it as an extension and normalisation of the zero-sum attitude that my capitalist neoliberal political economy is plagued with. India doing well in international cricket is always intricately tied to the self-worth of the nation while children beg on the streets. Competitive entrance exams to colleges after high school are seen as some sort of test of merit while the ratio of applicants to those who pass these exams is about 10:1. Meanwhile, job prospects are not guaranteed to be good for those who pass, and for those who don’t pass the job prospects are pretty much non-existent. With the background of India’s massive structural unemployment and underemployment problem, ten children are made to sit in cutthroat exams. 9 are then told that whatever misery befalls upon them is a result of their own inadequacy. This doesn’t even take into account the innumberable children who do not get the opportunity to take these exams.

I just checked out of this shit. I am privileged because of which I have been able to. But this shit never seemed right to me even when I was a baby-brained child. Just watching colleagues trying to do numerous small dances to increase their job prospects and make their linkedin profile more attractive tires me.

The situation around voting in the sham election always involves terminal turboliberals guilt-tripping abstainers. You have to be delusional to think that a nebulous cohort of tankies is hounding you to not vote for Biden.

Won’t help as much as chucking this dipshit into an active volcano

Yeah. It’s not a case like how Truss and Sunak became British prime ministers.

I’m more interested in the headline about Trump lying during the debate. Not that I doubt it. But more about how the sum total of the response to it is basically “ah well nevertheless”.

This is supposed to not only be a democracy, but also THE democracy and all other democracies that are not this democracy are not democracies. Meanwhile a dude just gets on a podium, spews bullshit on national televison debate and gets off scott free. How do western chauvinists live with this.

I envy the fact that your parent is, to some extent unknown to me, grounded in reality.

I just saw a picture of this guy and I have to say he looks so cringe. Jesus christ man it’s tough to look at.

Regarding him being a paedophile it’s not the least bit surprising sadly.

They are trying to summon Yakub and you all are laughing

Link?

Linkin Park is underrated

Bazingaboys on Hacker News say that it is only a tech demo so I guess it was shit.

A good time as any to ask. What the hell is open source intelligence?

I don’t know about this. Can you tell more?

Cmon man. Mainstream press has been nonstop talking about how Biden is upset at Netanyahu, how he gave him a stern talking to, how Rafah invasion would have been a red line, how he is trying to broker a peace deal (that Hamas put forth and Israel outright rejected), etc. etc. while Biden is giving Israel god knows how many tonnes of bombs per day. If you think Biden is getting the heat he deserves for perpetrating a genocide then you are off your rockers. If it wasn’t for the multitude brave protestors the media would have probably even cheered for Biden’s role in this brutal ethnic cleansing.

I think even the “(he/him) ♥️🌈” connotations are pretty charitable. Biden himself does not seem very LGBT friendly. The Dems on the whole on the other hand just let the Republicans do the witch hunts rather than participating themselves.

The overall number of people experiencing homelessness in San Francisco increased 7% to more than 8,300 people since the last count in 2022, according to data released Thursday. (Probably a huge undercount.)

An estimated 40,458 homes and condos are sitting vacant in San Francisco, and that number could potentially go down if the city were to introduce a vacancy tax that would fine homeowners who leave their properties empty, a new report released Monday by the city’s budget and legislative analyst said.
