Sadly, Trump’s Klan enthusiast father lived to 93.

In addition to Reagan effectively destroying the nation, he and his enabler wife Nancy kept his Alzheimer’s decline quiet so he could complete his second term to protect muh legacy. Being declared unfit requires your own cabinet turning on you, that requires appointing people of integrity to begin with.

Not only could we be governed by someone deep into senility. We already have.

Same reason the opinion of virtually every prominent US economist is antethetical to the interests of most Americans.

On top of the protected class bypass a required video provides, we all know where that fucked up question is going in our American corpo language.

“I just see a lifetime of adversity as an opportunity to work even harder for my economic betters, herp derp!”

I’ve had no problems with durability beyond the internal factory screen protector peeling up and needing replacement twice in 3 years. I know thats anecdotal and I case my phones, but I had no durability issues and the hinge felt solid after 3 years, I just felt the battery wasnt up to par anymore, the trade I credit was high, and a phone with moving parts probably won’t last forever.

But I had no real complaints on durability.

In My Place in my ass

As someone on their second foldable, fold 3 now fold 6, the crease is truly, I promise you, a non issue. Unless you’re doing detained drawing with the S-pen, not my use case, it has no meaningful effect on the experience. For single person consumption, you almost have to consciously try to position it in a way that’s visible when watching a video, for example.

I’d actually miss the crease, as it gives the screen a kind of magic book-esque quality. The biggest problem with foldables in my experience is the odd aspect ratio universal to all of them, something a tri fold design may actually mitigate.

I think such protections have to happen BEFORE the market capitalists are able to use their immense hoards of power, that’s what capital is at scale, to capture their own governments and regulators that were supposed to act as a firewall protecting regular citizens from them, as the market capitalists have in the United States for almost half a century.

Once that happens. Good fucking luck. Greed doesn’t let go of what it acquires.

I agree, this is just leftover momentum.

Reaganomics was a bullet to this nation’s brain stem. Citizens United was just the capitalists pissing on the long dead corpse for fun.

This place is just the command center for multinational oligarchs to wage war on the rest of humanity to increase short term profit expectations.

What an odd change.

This makes so much more sense.

A frightening liminal space between states of being. Not quite dead, not quite alive!

Promise?

Just kidding, his promises are worthless.

If a poor American with no resources condemns our rigged, crony market capitalist economy, “they should stop complaining because they’re just bitter.”

If a rich American with resources condemns our rigged, crony market capitalist economy, “they should stop complaining or they’re a hypocrite.”

Our oligarchs like the casino they’ve made just fine. Either compliment their work or you’re “free” to shut the hell up and get back to making them money. Of course this will be used against Walz for being a bad capitalist. As if how hard one capitalisms(exploits others) should be celebrated.

It just speaks to our backwards, inhuman, literally cancerous primary cultural value of greed first and only.

Modern self-proclaimed “conservatives” are incapable of shame. Its one of the requirements.

These are the people that tell scientists that the proven science they benefit from every day is bullshit because they feel that the reality is different, proudly, arrogantly, and with a straight face.

Humans play pretend we own the Earth, then get angry at each other while carving it up a little finer and finer, usually with blood or threats of blood.

The reality is, Earth owns us. Always has. We are subject to it.

We’ve been very, very naughty subjects.

Earth is in the process of handling us for that.

If you disagree with any of this, knock yourself out, the Earth doesn’t care. All the corporate and governmental attempts at ignoring/bribing/negotiating with physics for decades as they forcefeed a willfully ignorant populace microplastics has been gallows hilarious though. Should have been a better species. 🤷‍♂️

(On the bright side, the capitalists, fascists, and greed apologists will all get what’s coming to them, and the cultures that did live in homeostasis with the Earth, who were largely killed in the name of profit and conquest, may have been exterminated, but they will not have to experience the shame of watching the world end by their own greedy hands.)

I mean, to be fair, his base probably came watching him do it.

He enjoys it and it reassures the Republican base he’s their GodEmperorDaddu or whatever they’re calling him this week. The out in the open, practiced, enthusiastic hatred is what made him their guy to begin with.

He had to hire extras to attend his rallies in 2016 until he opined about wishing Republicans could “beat the shit” out of their political enemies, that moment basically stole the entire Republican party out from under their establishment that was just about manipulating Republicans and their hatreds using dog whistles for corporate profit.

We were too conservative in our estimates and other accelerating factors, like loss of the reflectivity of our arctic regions, have entered the game.

This stuff doesn’t go away on any human perceived timeframe even if we stopped entirely. Our beloved capitalists will be able protect themselves for a couple more decades beyond us peasants, but their luxury bunkers with ironically self-sustaining agricultural sections will effectively become the tombs of the families most responsible.

We were just smart enough to make technologies that helped us today and doomed us tomorrow, and still too bone dead stupid not to stop/drastically reduce using them upon discovering the consequences of their use.

🔥🤷🔥

Wait till accelerating climate change makes leisure flights a thing of the past in the next decade or so, along with tame weather and dependable agriculture.

Our species is done, thanks to mindsets like yours.
