I seed all my torrents to a ratio of 1.10 and I’m on Mullvad, so clearly someone out there is benefitting.

The president was asked by a reporter on Wednesday if he had spoken with Xi Jinping, the Chinese president, about the tariffs that have sparked a potentially costly trade war between the countries, and have led to predictions of empty shelves before the end of the year as imports dry up.

Trump said he had not, and offered his own prediction as to how Christmas might look for American families.

“Somebody said, ‘Oh, the shelves are gonna be open.’ Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls,” he said.

“So maybe the two dolls will cost a couple bucks more than they would normally.”

Some real “let them eat cake”/“it’s one banana, Michael” vibes. Like the average American family has been buying “30 dolls” for their kids for Christmas for years. And people thought Biden and Kamala were out of touch with the economy?

destroy your device by… having to reboot it. the horror! The pain! The financial loss of downtime!

you can’t make me

sleep is for the weak and the dead

him being a shitty human being is something his supporters like and admire, but even really terrible people prefer a leader that has some idea of what they’re going to do as a leader.

I, almost for certain, thought that (along with the rest of that debate) was the end of him at the time. Entire political careers have lived and died on sub-10-second sound bites, and there is no way to spin that to make him sound like he knows what he’s doing.

More than that, Trump isn’t in the middle of actively fighting a fucking war, and a funeral has one single, solitary wardrobe expectation: wear black.*

Even if not for that utter dumpster fire of a press conference, I also remember the fuss made about Obama’s tan suit that he just happened to wear during a televised event (which was not a funeral). On every level, this clown deserves mockery.

sorry but if the choice is between “going quietly with the men from the government” for being an undesirable, and just ending it there and then, I’m choosing the gun. I’ve suffered enough where I am.

I’m in the middle of a bout of heavy depression right now, I just want to live long enough to outlive my close family, namely my parents. They shouldn’t have to sit through my funeral.

Being gay and neurodivergent, though, I don’t think I have that long in this country. And I have no method to escape.

I’ve resisted, all this time, getting a gun because I have a history of depression and I didn’t want one in the house

however, given I have the blessing of castle doctrine in my state I’m really starting to think getting one might be the smarter decision. at least I might get to go out on my own terms.

The Canadians would also find no shortage of Americans willing to help them, as well.

my god it really is like the Nazi high command eating each other because “fuck that guy and his ambitions, I’ve got my own”

this would be positively hilarious to watch if I weren’t American, neurodivergent, and gay.

Also, frozen pizza is a thing. Yeah, it can suck, but not all of it sucks equally – and you can always add your own toppings to make it suck much less. You got options when your pizza joint of choice is closed, if you keep one of those in the freezer for rainy days.

it’s a post-truth era, friend, best get used to it.

IT’S SPHERICAL

SPHERICAL

Needs more blur. Maybe something fancy. Eloquent. Gaussian.

first of all you’re not shittymorph, and second of all, I believe we prefer meta shitposts about beans around these parts

totally tubular comment, dude
