5-10 consecutive record breaking hot summers, each of which accompanied by headlines examining that scientists knew it would be bad, but not this bad!

…also some orchestrated drama to act as an excuse to initiate martial law, also acting as the justification to initiate Trump’s 3rd and 4th terms.

I’ve seen studies claiming that toilet seats are among the cleanest spots in a public restroom, and that slamming your bare ass cheeks down on those things is perfectly safe.

I also work in an operating room, where we routinely chop condyloma off of people’s ass cheeks… albeit less commonly the cheeks than the hole, but enough times to showcase the fact that the cheeks are prone to spreading and contracting contact dependent pathogens.

Those studies are bullshit - always build that toilet-paper-bird’s-nest on the public toilet seat.

There is no such thing as an ethical billionaire. She may be among the least malignant of that group, but they’re all cancer.

Yeah. Again, it’s a spectrum. Very few of them are 100% stupid or 100% evil.

Some are more on the stupid end and don’t realize they’re shooting themselves in the foot; others are more on the evil end and even though they understand that they’re shooting themselves in the foot, they decide it’s worth it because they’re okay with their suffering if it means certain other people are dragged into suffering with them.

I suspect a lot of the stupid we see is just a veneer to make the evil easier to sell. Look at Trump - we’ve given him the village idiot pass countless times… If he actually acted competently, the damage he’s doing would be way more obviously intentional, but so long as he plays a convincing enough dumbass, we’ll continue treating him like -just- a dumbass.

We’re living the Darth Jar Jar theory and I fucking hate it.

Not all of them are stupid. The ones who live in the Fox fantasy world where leftists spend their nights communing with demons and drinking baby puree smoothies, and that opposing those leftists is doing good: those are stupid.

Many of them understand the evil they’re committing by supporting traitors like Trump, and they revel in it. They don’t give a shit about the US or any kind of morals, they just want to hurt brown people, or trans people, or women, etc.

So… the Nazis all fall onto more of a spectrum of stupid on one end and evil on the other. Living in the south, I honestly don’t see a ton of genuine idiots (seriously). I do see a lot of Nazis… so to finally answer your question, not that stupid. It’s the other side of the spectrum that’s somehow growing in popularity.

I hadn’t come across it or heard of Eichmann until just now. It’s shitty that it doesn’t use a better namesake to represent what it’s trying to describe; but that description is one that’s absolutely happening. Hence OP’s meme.

The vast majority of us, self included, are stuck in that trap; and having a label for that trap is an important step to challenging it.

So… I can 100% understand the opposition to it, but what do you recommend in its stead?

There’s a distinction to point out between “absolutely no business getting made” vs “the final product turned out to be shit”. I can’t really think of anything that belongs to the former… I haven’t actually seen most of the films mentioned here so far, except the SW sequels… which turned out to be shit, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have made SW sequels at all: they just shouldn’t have made them shit.

Until then, join me in just reveling in the headline for a while.

Part of me’s right there with you; part of me fucking hates that. We keep seeing the justice system shake its fists at these fuckers, gets our hopes up that they’ll be held accountable, and then they almost never actually are. It just stagnates for a while until it’s left the public’s attention span, then fizzles.

That isn’t justice.

…fuck, my coffee habit by itself is probably responsible for a solid 0.01 *C global temperature increase.

Sorry all… I didn’t know.

You don’t have to say it twice…

doctors

How’s the demand for nurses? I’ll be finishing up nursing school in less than a year! :D

Or support staff? I’m a surgical tech now, and some of my coworkers (other techs, schedulers - bottom of the medical food chain, but still with specialty experience) feel trapped here by their lack of higher education.

I was smart once! OMW!!

He knows. His goal is to weaken the US - the things that fuck us the hardest are followed by a too-little-too-late backstep probably to feed his base some plausible deniability, but his actions are pretty clear to anyone who isn’t already either lying to themselves or delighting in the evil.

He is a domestic enemy of the US.

It’s relative to the country - you expatriate from your country of origin, and become an immigrant to a new host country.

Expatriate and emigrate are more or less synonyms.

ex patriot

That’s what I became when the Nazis took over as a result of being overwhelming popular to US voters. Turns out it’s not just a handful of powerful fuckers taking advantage of the rest of us: ‘we the people’ are, for the most part, just evil.

Working in the OR, it’s a loooong night on call.

Dat paycheck tho…

Dang, you mean to tell me that animal refuse blended into mush and saturated with salt is bad for us?!

Creating God - Avenged Sevenfold

…I think it’s actually about AI, but this is about as theistic as it gets on my personal playlist.

Shockingly prophetic for something from 2016 - as far as our usage goes, it nailed it.

But we already have RL ad blockers.

Iirc the legal term is “vandalism”. The stakes are higher, but the perk is that one user can block an ad for every user, so think of it as a community effort.

Trump deserves a grave

Graves are to honor the dead. Trump deserves to have his corpse cast into the reservoir of the nearest outhouse and left to rot with the rest of the sewage.
