This is the first time I’ve seen you break character. Hope you’re taking care of yourself in this challenging environment for satire.

It’s just like email (or Usenet on the chance you’re old) - you have an account on lemmy.world, you can only log in on lemmy.world, but you can read and reply to users and posts on fedia.io, mander.xyz, feddit.org, etc., et al

Oh, I see. They should have agreed to a ceasebomb instead.

I think there are many people who can’t handle 4 years of economic hardship. A lot of folks are barely making ends meet as-is.

“made in america” tends to mean “we imported a bunch of the components and did the final assembly in the US”

glissando on the first syllable of ‘marble’ works great in my head!

You’ve been hit by, You’ve been struck by, A smooth marble

Bonus points for the cedilla

In my experience joints typically either don’t have a filter or have a handmade filter. They’re delicate, and rolling it between your fingers can open up the end and spill things out. So it’s better to have a more precise grip on them.

You’re right. Let’s give his skeleton to Craig Ferguson so he can be more useful in death than he was in life

after he dies we should send his corpse to Mars and crucify it as a warning

They didn’t at first… and if it hadn’t gotten so much attention, who’s to say what could have happened?

Sometimes you want to just go to the grocery store without getting pummeled by dodgeballs

save some adjectives for the rest of us

a well-received congressional address (69% CNN approval, 76% CBS/YouGov)

I’m not usually the type for conspiratorial thinking, but can we really trust these numbers? There is a strong incentive to manipulate statistics of support here, and with all the other blatant corruption happening right now I don’t think it’d be unreasonable for the strings to be being pulled here

And then caught fire.

seriously - too many people see criticism of Israel’s government and read it as condemnation of all Jews. As if it’s the case that that government represents all Jewish people worldwide (or even all Jewish people in Israel…!)

It’s like people are thinking that wanting Israel to stop its genocide also means there should be another genocide targeting Jews?? Nuance beyond that sort of black-and-white polarized viewpoint seems to be increasingly dead.

Some of them are pretty stupid, just not stupid enough to be a self-resolving problem

They’ll be cooked alright

Tariffs aren’t external revenue. They’re paid by the importer/consumer of the foreign goods (i.e. within the United States.) For starters, the current and proposed tariffs come nowhere close to the amount of money needed to replace income taxes. In addition, if the tariffs successfully discourage American consumers from buying products that they apply to, the money generated by the tariffs also drops even further…

Really it doesn’t hold up to any scrutiny at all if you think about it even a little bit. To champion it like you’re doing… at best, you have no understanding of the mechanisms being discussed, and you’re believing their lies hook, line, and sinker. At worst, you are doing a poor job of trolling or are deliberately spreading propaganda. And given you know how to type, it’s very sad that you don’t know better, because you should.
