Its also necessary. Americans made this shitstorm of a litigious society themselves.

They paid for their insurance, why wouldnt they use it and protect themselves?

This makes perfect sense. The city will have insurance for accidents. They bill him, he sues, the city refers it to their insurer and the insurance pays the suit and costs.

It only sounds ridiculous on the surface.

Hate to break it to you, we’re still near the top of the heap.

Honestly him getting re-elected is the first time in my life where I felt the absolute gravity of “Oh, THIS is white privilege” like theres no fuckin nuance to this. I’m straight, white and middle aged. If I say the right things I’ll probably be fine, not much is going to change for me.

I cant say the same for a lot of other people.

Generally yes, but sometimes…

The Martian was a great book and a GREAT movie. Ridley Scott made visuals better than my imagination.

It was Martin Prince vs Bart Simpson.

She ran a traditional campaign on issues, Trump got them chanting “More asbestos” difference is they voted.

The Dems need to realise that this is now a popularity contest and you have to fight a cult of personality with a cult of personality.

This is probably the most showerthought showerthought I have seen in a long time.

I think if he loses theres a good chance that the people behind him will knock him off.

You know what works better than a hero? A martyr.

Yeah thats kind of the whole point of social media. You post, people comment.

I see more reposted memes about the song than times I hear it.

If people shut the fuck about it, Nobody would care.

I like the styling too, its got a wicked 80s cyberpunk/Delorian/Tron vibe. I dislike… everything else. I get why a lot of people wouldnt like it, its a love it or hate it deal.

But now that Musk is such a polarising figure and the truck is such a polarising design I think a lot of people cant or wont separate the two.

Its not as bad as the overpriced clothing store “Bazaar Boutique Emporium”

Which is basically all white linen clothing.

Theres a hairdressers near me that is “Bespoke hair artistry” or some other pretentious bullshit.

I sometimes say “I could care less, but not by much”

Getting windmill dunked on by 50 Cent.

Theres something enormously satisfying about asking the question “And are you willing to give me that in writing?”

Then watching them squirm as something in their brain goes full Ackbar “ITS A TRAP!”

IMO the guy kind of has a point but mostly not.

Take website builders like Squarespace and stuff like that, you can be super good at using the tools to generate an excellent looking page and do it in a fraction of the time it might take someone else. Sure its a skill, one you probably spent time and effort developing, but it doesnt make you a web developer and if someone uses the tools to exactly copy your work pretty much exactly, yeah that sucks but your just using someone elses tools.

Or building a really cool and “unique” car using off the shelf aftermarket parts. Theres literally nothing stopping someone else just doing the same thing using your car as a template.

I get the “why” he is upset, but… I dont care.

Good Evening Sir, Welcome to Lemmy. We dont do escapism or banter here. Please feel free to enjoy any of our flavours of outrage. The “software privacy” is quite popular, we are quite well known for billionaires and capitalism, of course we do a range of modern outrage classics including American politics, environmental issues and American healthcare which let me assure you isnt just for our American customers.

The specials board currently contains a lovely selection of Shit Israel has done, Shit Musk has done and Companies making money off advertisements hate you blocking advertisements.

Can I start you off with some I dont own games I buy on Steam! or perhaps some advice on why Linux is superior to literally everything.

Great, now he and I have something in common.

Edit: her looks are about the least offensive thing about her, sorry. The terrible person is pretty hot. If it helps I’ll wipe my dick on the curtains and give her a fake number.

Id love to do it.

Where did I leave my grinder?

I hope he lives long enough to lose the election fair and square.
