Yes I’m aware we have had some amendments. Ending slavery. Allowing women to vote. Direct election of Senators.

What about gerrymandering? Cap in the house leading to bad representation? The senate? I mean the senate still exists. States aren’t people like people pretended they were. So much has not changed.

Even Jefferson surmised it should be radically updated every few decades. I think he’d and many others would be pissed to realized we’re all held hostage by compromises that barely made sense at the time.

Man. Woman. TV. Camera.

Blue Curaçao and sprite

Definitely to be on the next iteration of this meme.

I welcome our new alien butt lords

If she can win ~5 states I think she gets to make certain demands at the convention. Such as giving a speech or requiring a platform be written.

No Haley fan, but I am interested to see what or if her plan here is.

To pull it full circle: you average atheist does NOT want to commit genocides or ban churches or tell religious people not to teach their kids.

These are some broad brush strokes, dude.

I agree that modern and western atheism is sort of a dialectal to western religion and so perpetually tied to it in a way, that westerners don’t often see.

I agree that atheism as commonly portrayed online (actively and by its detractors alike) is militantly against Islam, all religions, etc.

But lots of atheists are actually humanists and not militantly out to root out all religion entirely.

Inside the US we are plagued by a religious fascism that yes, sadly, colors a looot of the online conversation about faith and atheism.

Atheists are not generally for eradicating all religions on the planet.

Remember when Barbie didn’t end with Will Farrells head in the guillotine?

Do I need more pixels? Or am I just missing Elon’s planes, the oil companies, the Koch family planes, the military industrial complex, the car industry,

I’m more just talking about how the COOOL NEW THING attracts a lot of attention. Then an ungodly amount of investor money. And then dies. I don’t like podcasts and I don’t know a whole lot about their distribution, but the fact that they get funded like super bowl ads definitely means another shoe is about to drop.

It seems they are about to have their bubble burst. It’s probably the next wave of enshittification.

Yeah I agree that there is a TAKE vs a SHARE.

Some of the reason cultural appropriation is a bad thing is due to capitalism. Taking something, even symbolically, for profit, is different than learning, experiencing and sharing.

Needs a good bottom text: am I a joke to you

My favorite stage of Quora is when the monetized asking questions. Around this time I had too much time on my hands and showed up to help. When I realized I was making fractions of a penny, I turned to trolling the power users.

These guys were so insecure. They’d whine in their answers about how Quora should pay for good answers, not for questions that bring traffic. Nice try, but every tech bro is online and dying to give an opinion, so sorry, “good” answers is not worth paying for.

And when you would try to correct them or report their answers as incorrect they would lose their shit and try and report me 😂

Fun times. Like a dolphin watching a ship sink.

Which week are we talking about? Lol

To be fair to the morons, the elitists are paying the weak and the thugs to do their Big Bad Communist Bidding, according to your average flyover uncle. “Fage CEO is paying the Clinton’s to import refugees to steal our jobs and vote in our elections”, something my dad suggested in 2019 or so.

Even common Lemmy/reddit talking points are that rich corporate interests pay stooges like DeSantis and McConnell to keep the rubes voting for oligarchy.

Any political party is going to be a coalition, to a degree.

But yes I do agree to an extent with the meme that the average conservative armchair theorist doesn’t really see how their theories fit together.

What the fuck did I just read
