They also can’t amend the constitution via executive order or deport US citizens, but watch them try it anyway

I love it when my government jails me and then ships me to a foreign country for my prison sentence, far from the nearest US court

I’m sure El Salvador has a wonderful prison system totally free from corruption… Oh. Oh no.

Just a reminder that if you live in the US, the 2nd amendment exists for exactly this reason, and it is woefully easy to exercise. And if you’re a communist, Marx agrees, you should be armed. “Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempts to disarm the workers should be frustrated, by force if necessary.”

Obligatory “this isn’t even satire” observation

That aside, of course Republicans were offended by an actual Christian. They hate the bible. Donald Trump Jr. literally said out loud with his mouth that following its teachings has “gotten us nothing.”

But hey, he was only talking about that one woke verse, and obviously God doesn’t want us taking everything Jesus said seriously!

My current wallpaper is Hornet from Hollow Knight, but it cycles between around 150 pictures

My favorite is this fanart of Phos from Land of the Lustrous

I managed to fat finger wrong reply to two different comments in this thread, fml

Wish I could actually delete these comments so there wasn’t a permanent reminder of my incompetence

Famously the hardest logic puzzle in the world: Blue Eyes

https://xkcd.com/blue_eyes.html

A group of people with assorted eye colors live on an island. They are all perfect logicians – if a conclusion can be logically deduced, they will do it instantly. No one knows the color of their eyes. Every night at midnight, a ferry stops at the island. Any islanders who have figured out the color of their own eyes then leave the island, and the rest stay. Everyone can see everyone else at all times and keeps a count of the number of people they see with each eye color (excluding themselves), but they cannot otherwise communicate. Everyone on the island knows all the rules in this paragraph.

On this island there are 100 blue-eyed people, 100 brown-eyed people, and the Guru (she happens to have green eyes). So any given blue-eyed person can see 100 people with brown eyes and 99 people with blue eyes (and one with green), but that does not tell him his own eye color; as far as he knows the totals could be 101 brown and 99 blue. Or 100 brown, 99 blue, and he could have red eyes.

The Guru is allowed to speak once (let’s say at noon), on one day in all their endless years on the island. Standing before the islanders, she says the following:

“I can see someone who has blue eyes.”

Who leaves the island, and on what night?

There are no mirrors or reflecting surfaces, nothing dumb. It is not a trick question, and the answer is logical. It doesn’t depend on tricky wording or anyone lying or guessing, and it doesn’t involve people doing something silly like creating a sign language or doing genetics. The Guru is not making eye contact with anyone in particular; she’s simply saying “I count at least one blue-eyed person on this island who isn’t me.”

And lastly, the answer is not “no one leaves.”

My worst one was expressing doubt about all information we get regarding the Israel/Palestine conflict because it is definitely being used as a wedge to divide Americans and make us easier to manipulate. Context: the IDF found Super Evil Battle Plans on dead Hamas soldiers, instructing them to kill civilians. Because they need to be reminded that that’s their mission I guess.

My second worst one was saying that we shouldn’t euthanize every pit bull. Context: a pit bull attacked someone, and everyone in the thread thought the right move was to euthanize the whole breed.

My third worst one was saying that the Fahrenheit temperature scale is more useful for average people than Celsius. Context: shitpost about fahrenheit being a bad temperature scale

I’m not being pedantic at all. The entire premise of your question was them “wanting” to ruin their company. There’s no other way to interpret that

If you want to rephrase what you said to clear up the confusion, I’m all ears

But when did they say they wanted to do that? They just said they imagined it. I’ve imagined ways to screw over my workplace as well, it doesn’t mean I want to

When did they say they wanted to ruin their company?

It would be really cool seeing a monarch get guillotined in the 21st century

How tf am I supposed to know when it’s 1 past midnight without the damn clock

Basically my feelings. I don’t take any neopronouns too seriously, but it costs nothing to use them and is one of the fun quirks of the fediverse. I’ve seen people assert that drag is both a cis man and a cis woman in this thread, so apparently it isn’t that obvious that they’re trolling

USB-C somehow managed to be the worst “standard.” Hopefully the next big USB port doesn’t allow for so much variance. I don’t see why a specific wattage and data transfer rate isn’t included in the specification. I can scarcely believe they managed to standardize it so well that I can plug the wrong cord into a port and break something.

Kansan here. It’s pronounced “double-you,” but my mouth tends to skip past the L so it sounds more like “dub-you” or “dub-yə”

Genuinely curious what you think they should have done differently. You said that voting got us into this mess, but also that it wouldn’t have changed anything. What should they do?

I mean, violent revolution is the answer, but that isn’t mutually exclusive to voting

Yeah, it would have been a lot better if leftists people simply hadn’t voted in the first place. Having a Republican in his seat instead would surely have improved things

Imagine holding the title of “CEO of the healthcare company whose CEO got fucking iced last week”
