How in the actual fuck are you all surviving down there? Are you like hunting down the kangaroos for sustenance?

It's purposeful. The system is collapsing and the only option they have is to lie to people to convince them to continue participating.

The planet could see 2 degrees Celsius of warming by the end of the decade.

Welcome to the wonderful world of post-9/11 authoritarianism. Remember, it's all to protect you from terrorists so they're justified in doing anything they want to you

Someone made a laundry list of evidence demonstrating it'll very likely be an actual thing but I can't find it anywhere. When I do, I'll post it

EDIT: AHA! I FOUND IT! It's a Reddit comment, but so it goes. Blatantly ripping off here:

It's not just the insurrection act.

It includes:

1-Argue that Article 2 of the Constitution gives the president power to do whatever he wants.

2-Fire the civil service and replace it with Trump loyalists.

3-Use the DoJ to target critics

4-Weaken the election security agency

5-Reject climate change

6-Remove all LGBTQ+ protections

7-Bring the Bible into government

For reference, they're talking about this monstrosity of a plan Trump has set up for if he takes power in November. Don't actually vote against Biden even if you support Palestine. Shit's unreal. Shit's very clear and obvious .50 cal territory.

At least 1,201 people were killed in 2022 by law enforcement officers, about 100 deaths a month, according to Mapping Police Violence, a nonprofit research group that tracks police killings. ProPublica examined the 101 deaths that occurred in June 2022, a time frame chosen because enough time had elapsed that investigations could reasonably be expected to have concluded. The cases involved 131 law enforcement agencies in 34 states.

In 79 of those deaths, ProPublica confirmed that body-worn camera video exists. But more than a year later, authorities or victims’ families had released the footage of only 33 incidents.

Philadelphia signed a $12.5 million contract in 2017 to equip its entire police force with cameras. Since then, at least 27 people have been killed by Philadelphia police, according to Mapping Police Violence, but in only two cases has body-camera video been released to the public.

ProPublica’s review shows that withholding body-worn camera footage from the public has become so entrenched in some cities that even pleas from victims’ families don’t serve to shake the video loose.

Here's the kicker: a substantial number of Americans actually want a dictatorships run by him or someone like him, and they've wanted it since the end of the Civil War. That's why Trump is openly promoting it: he knows it's what will get him elected.

The left badly needs to realize that other people do not think like them or have the same priorities, goals or worldview as they do.

The right simply are not our countrymen and you all need to stop pretending they are before they fucking kill you all.

Those are mobile restaurants run by kitsune who cross dimensions to serve a variety of clientele. You just happened to have stumbled inside on the night before they left to another realm. Consider thyself lucky, mortal, for their food is god-tier

Because you won't do anything to hurt their bottom line, basically.

Stop eating at Taco Bell and make your own damn tacos at home. Better yet, go buy some from a family-owned taco truck instead.

Because they were looking for him and murdered him on purpose.

Anytime you all want to band together and do something about those motherfuckers

Anytime

That didn't stop you from making cartoons, did it?

The death of all the coral in Florida.

It was front-page news where I live a few days ago but not a blip of it could be seen anywhere else.

It’s easily the most important news of the past two months and will negatively affect life on the planet anywhere but fuck all if humans outside of a local area could bring themselves to give a shit.
