There’s not a bad thing about it!!

Thief 2 would be awesome!!

So much for the “freedom of speech not freedom from consequence” crowd.

It’s only ever bad when the consequences hit someone that you judge is in the right.

Fool!! You’ve activated my trap card!!

When your base doesn’t care about anything but checking boxes, leadership does just that.

Not serious?

I’m sorry that you have been made to believe that an expensive 3 day hospital visit is the one and only way that a human can give birth, but the fact is: that’s just the most comfortable and convenient way of giving birth. That’s why it’s so expensive.

I would label the person who believes there is no way that a human can give birth to another human without recent medical advancements as “not serious”.

How has this species survived for so long?

Pretty sure a human can birth a child for free.

Oh, you mean in a fancy hospital with modern conveniences developed by scientists to make the process as comfortable and hassle-free as possible?

Again, humans have been procreating, WILLINGLY, in conditions worse than anything you have or will ever experience because they WANT a child. They WANT to procreate.

Not wanting that is fine. Just stop blaming others.

It’s always fun to see the many similarities between “progressives” and far right conservatives.

You guys are becoming regular SovCits!

realizing I’ll never be able to afford them

realizing I’ll never be able to afford them without sacrificing the slightest inch of my current lifestyle

FTFY

I don’t fault you. You do you. Just stop blaming the economy.

People have been willingly having children through times tougher than anything you have or ever will experience.

You just don’t want kids. And that’s fine.

Just stop scapegoating the economy.

There it is!

You can always assume what kind of person brings dogs into establishments.

“I’m a paying customer, fuck you!! I’ll do what I fucking want!!”, is their mantra.

I believe that Take Off Your Pants and Jacket was released with 6 different secret songs (in the US anyway). Each album came with 2 of the 6, so you had to see if your friends got the other ones on their albums.

It was a good time!

Yeah!! Spend your money on a completely pointless lawsuit!! Fill some lawyers pockets instead of helping your citizens!!

Remember: the most important thing to professional politicians is optics! It’s what fools the morons into thinking you are doing something good!

They used to be the superior form of bread stick.

Olive Garden’s quality (like most corporate chains) has nose dived in the last 15 years.

Shittier food = more profit!!

Of course not. Not anyone that doesn’t have any dependents.

You all get to do almost nothing all day (except post weak takes on Lemmy) and act like you are carrying the economy on your back.

Fuck off. The adults have people who depend on them.

I mean…it technically fits the macros.

California? You mean the state owned by the tech oligarchy that is (according to you) the current ruling class of the entire country?

🤣 You people crave an enemy so much, you can’t keep your stories straight!

In solidarity, I’m going to start wearing latex shorts that clearly outline my pen…and I’m arrested immediately.

Either sexuality is taboo or it’s not. Unfortunately, it is still taboo.

So your argument is “NO YOU!!”?

Many small collectives in the US adopt communist values, like Menenites, Mormons or Amish.

My proof is that, despite the overall majority of social media users stating that communism is the way, it hasn’t been adopted country wide because the actual majority of people don’t want it, aka a difference in ideology, aka non homogeneous population.

So saying that every single person in the USA that doesn’t subscribe to the same ideology based on their own personal experiences and surroundings isn’t just a personal political identity, it’s racism?

Says historical accounts of communism being “gently forced” onto a non homogeneous population.

I see that you are just one of those people that thinks everything is tied to race. Saying a population is non homogeneous is not racist. You are putting that spin on it based on your own preconceived ideas.

Ok, I misspoke.

Sure, Communism can work at small scales where there is a culturally homogeneous population. Which is why cities and municipalities have the freedom to adopt communist ideals.

The USA in total is far too large and diverse to make it work country wide. We are, by design, neither culturally, politically, or geographically homogeneous.

It would take an all powerful small ruling class forcing compliance in order to make it work on such a large scale. Now we are back to Totalitarianism operating under the guise of “the good of the people!!”

Even at the small scale, we have examples of this not working. CHAZ/CHOP were taken over by opportunists that wanted to benefit themselves at the expense of all others in the community. There is simply too much diversity of thought in the USA to make it work.

TikTok. Yet people are begging for someone to spy on them if it means feeding their addiction to short form content.
