Fun Fact a cold war project the “big stick” (Nuclear powered, Nuclear ICBM) had a “problem” that it’s exhaust was radioactive. Then the military said, no, that’s bonus damage, it will spread radiation even over enemy cities it doesn’t target, and we can fly it over more places to take advantage of that.
I agree, people disagree, seriously, I don’t care about the tweering stuff, but, say I gather 20-50 people and hold a demonstration at what, city hall? State Capitol? My local, and stae government wont change. So what am I supposed to do? go to a republican state and cause aimless mayhem? Am I supposed to take a semester off from college and work with the funds I do not have to travel to D.C. and what call for him to step down? His impeachment? Better accountability? He wont, his party wont.
What’s needed is not a protests, not a demonstration, not even a riot could seemingly change this. Realistically it would need to be a revolution. and Realistically people living paycheck to paycheck are not highly motivated to throw away thier life so they can risk thier life to start a “revolution”
I think another point is hope, even if people start large protests, riots, etc. What can it achieve, who will achieve it? Short of a full revolution, will anything have an effect?
Trump wont step down even if the country is alight, with republicans in power in senate they wont impeach or muzzle trump.
Any sort of protests needs ro have a goal, something you can imagine it will achieve. If you cant picture anything postive coming from it, why would you want to?
1% or less.
They probably wont nullify the 2 term limit, can’t easily go back and after trump, will there be a democrat monarch?
He wants fame and wealth, he will burn everything to get it. In this term he will burn the most of the bridges with his backers.
His actions will accelerate the victory or death of his backers. Either his backers wont need him or cant back him, so he probably will get waning support.
He may not live until the end of his term, let alone a third.
He is too prideful, he wont bow to being a VP and will pull something that will sabotage the president on ticket.
U.S.A. or the world may be destroyed in the next 5 or so years.
He will try at least 1 coup this term, i’d be suprised if it wasn’t more. He will fail and/or drag the nation to civil war in the process. He doesn’t have the backing of the army and not all states are under him
For any of these reasons or a combination therof, makes him serving a third term highly, highly unlikely.
but they could pay thier workers and stimulate the economy, I mean that’s why they get the money, it’s called trickle down economics.
Do they do that, no.
Does it work…no.
(Sarcasm)
It went from bribery to “trickle down economics” and now I think they call it the cost of keeping business.
Gives me the idea to get a plate…I have a spot for a camelbak on my backpack, I could put in a plate and have yet another reason my backpack is called “wierd”.
This is toddler 101. If baby asks you for a treat, and you are going to give it to them, if they start throwing a tantrum over it, you can no lobger give it to them. You might have wanted to give them the treat, but once they start throwing a tantrum you need to not reinforce the tantrum.
100% on EU with this, don’t let toddlers think or act like thier tantrums work.
Reminds me that like the California roll, Philadelphia roll and ig using stuff like cream cheese, just wasn’t a thing in Japan, they are American things, but as Japense tourists came to america and had them, they started wanting them back home and some people are pissed Japense sushi is being “Americanized”
I think of it not as being right, or good, but truly just. Justice was never about being good or right, but a manifestation of karma. Like the 'ol “If a son shall strike is father, his hand will be cut off”.
If you hold responsibility for decisions that unjustly, for no good reason, killed people, death is a just punishment.
As the one of the oldest laws of justice, “An eye for an eye”.
peanut butter toast, simple, yummy, filling! People keep thinking i’m wired when I tell them about pb toast, glad to see others talk about it.
Why? and the What if?
Why did it fall? You pushed it. Why? I don’t know why you pushed it? Why did it fall down? Do you mean gravity? Why does gravity make things go down? and on and on
now some of them moving onto what if…
and I love this
I am scared, there might be a ghost. There is no ghost, we made sure there is no ghost. What happens if there is a ghost? IDK, maybe we could call ghostbus- Ghostbusters aren’t real. So glad I got called out then because I was ready to pull my hair out
Exactly I had difficulty finding content and any “guide” or anything I seemed to find was too confusing or not practical for me. I don’t use Twitter, blue sky, or mastadon regularly but when I checked them all out, blue sky was the best in all round; “Ease of use” and “easy to find content”
I was going to reply with this. This is exactly one of the problems. I didn’t have a Twitter, but I wanted to join mastadon. I had to find a way to access it, and an instance to sign up on. In theory it’s good but for a new user it can be difficult to sign up.
Then ofc the difficulty of finding content, there is content, but part of the no frills meant most of the stuff I saw wasn’t in English (I am a mon-english speaker) and it was tricky to figure out how to juat get English content let alone content I was interested in.
Thank you
I think its a gripen. I don’t know much of anything about jets but the only modern fighter I know with those foward wing things is the gripen.

Caption was before image so I had to wonder, who? Yeah, no country wants to admit thier wars or pay the price
But seriously we’ve had ups, fedex and amazon drivers deliver packages in ways that our front door or gate could not be opened. Kept complaining but one time we complained saying they could of killed us (Front door being blocked could kill someone in certain cases) poor cs rep trying to say no but uh yeah. I dunno what they put in our file but very rarely does it happen anymore. (and don’t get me started on USPS where we had to talk to the post master general to stop that BS)
There is an ICE facility in California thats thrived by bribing local officials and has been known to detain people that are not carrying I.D., with agents believed to be going around the local neighborhoods harassing people.
It’s not been about illegal immigration or violations of visas, ICE is corrupt and conducts itself in horrendous, morally heinous ways, to innocents and guilty alike.
