a demented rapist took control of the country and everyone fucking peaced out for a few days.

You . . say pizza and a Dr K? Rad. Cool, well uh yeah have a good time then um. I’ll be around, y’know, if y’all wanna y’know hangout or whatever. *cough*
I’ve infiltrated the European place of purveyance to negotiate the vending of some cheesey comestibles!
Right, but in real-life, not in producing a lighted color, just like looking: things are brown. A coffee stain, say.
Fortunately, it also appears to have gone undetected by many project maintainers, with only two imports of the backdoored version recorded – both by a single cryptocurrency project with just seven followers.
ha
Put the colors away, man, they’re callin’ the cops
lighted-display (like a monitor or TV) of brown is dark orange, yes.
In the actual, real, no the physical world, the one you wake up in before getting on the lighted rectangles, brown is a real color.
wokka wokka wokka wokka wokka wokka
Because AI doesn’t know what words mean.
Fuck the White House - Canada please go all 1812 on it.
The oligarchy will give you all $100,000 to change your opinions.
Because. Y’know. That’s how it works.
*cronch*
Mmfh - Yah, welp - mmm one sfec . . . mmmgk . . . Yes, ah well, salads are delicious and until David makes up his fucking mind, y’know?
*cronch* *monch*
Mmfh. Swo googh.
No, that’s German for “THE zombie Simpsons, THE”
Oh that’s always a good idea.
Cripes, I’m sorry Canada. I hope you can weather this attack.
I disagree, but if that is your belief, you’ll need to get to guillotining and . . luigi-ing. The longer you wait the harder it would be.
Like, here, on Lemmy, we have a media not controlled by them. And an actual, physical, elementary classroom is somewhat influenced by oligarchs in the form of government mandates, but it can also point out that influence and work against it.
in the 50 years that it was in effect the Democrats had the power necessary to put up a legislative firewall (see, e.g. Obamacare)
I don’t think the Democrats had the uncontested power to put up an amendment or any other pro-women’s-health legislation very often in those 50 years. The one time I can think of is the one you mentioned, and they decided to use that power to pass the ACA instead. They had lost the supermajority by the time that was done.
All that “chipping away” wouldn’t have made much of a difference if the SCOTUS hadn’t been obscenely hijacked and thrown to the Federalist nazis. And all of that was because the republiQans never wavered, never changed their commitment to depriving women of their rights.
In the case of Starmer vis-a-vis EU, I obviously don’t know the details very well, but I would think they’re not going to be able to have any kind of public discussion about rejoining anytime in the next 5-10 years at the earliest. I would expect there to be some backchannel discussion, but I can’t see any real headway being made. Certainly if I was the EU, I wouldn’t be interested in talking about it at all. I would think Labour would have enough on their plate just beginning to stem some of the damage that’s already been caused.
It’s not really a question of democracy as such, it’s a question of media literacy and policy.
Kids under 16 should not be on social media. Social Media should be required to expunge all their data every 30 days. Influence campaigns that we know russia and China run should be illegal, and punishable.
That’s for starters. Media theory for everyone. Explain how television works on television. Limit advertising. Limit demographic data for private interests, not much more for government interests.
The hole that we’re in isn’t because people have racist views (though they do) , or that the mechanisms of democracy are under attack (though they are) - it’s that we all stare at lighted rectangles all day. And what those rectangles are doing is grinding everyone’s discourse into mush.
Cat: Don’t make me come in there!!

Tiger 2: aww
