Shut down the greed, and the religious extremism will mysteriously fade away with it. Zealots are useful idiots for certain types of powerful bastard, and they are often led by scammers anyway. Churches that want to meddle in politics are easily corrupted.

Absolutely not. More, if anything.

It’s fine. Some people think it’s gross, but it’s harmless. I swim the red sea regularly. The worst thing that has ever happened was that I looked like I killed someone with my dick, but I think it’s funny

You’d stay about the same, unless the gas you emit was substantially lighter or heavier than air. Methane should be lighter than air off the top of my head, but it’s not the only gas in the mix, so it’s hard to say without in-depth knowledge of the composition of farts, the subject’s diet, and ambient air temperature too, since the fart is gonna be at body temp but the atmosphere won’t.

The Steam Controller was perfection.

Paper towel. Don’t overthink it.

You’re operating under the assumption that Russia is winning now. Even with the USA trying not to fulfill its obligations to Ukraine as an ally, Russia is taking massive losses for minuscule gains and their economy is starting to fall apart.

I thought Ukraine was going to go under quickly at first, but quickly changed my mind when they didn’t. I don’t know the future, but I don’t think Russia is going to succeed in total invasion.

It is one of many viable avenues of resistance. You can also sabotage, disrupt, defund, harass, and scam the assholes.

I thought about buying about a thousand bitcoins when it would have costed me a hundred bucks. Never did though.

Solid contender for a Jabba the Hutt sentence again right here

It helps a lot that the assholes are not doing well. The Epstein thing has made it easier to breathe.

Going to protests helps too. The energy of the crowd really feels good and assures me that the people are on my side.

These days, most of the voices saying they’ll leave a centrist presidential candidate hanging are fake. BlueSky got brigaded by fake posters with this message for about five days a little bit ago.

I voted for Jill Stein in 2016 and regret it. I don’t think I’m the only one. I think that next time around, we’ll have a stronger primary strategy and fewer walkouts if we fail.

The real battle is in the primaries.
