Absolutely. There will be a fat donation, and then the EPA will mandate its ongoing use on all crops at 150% volume going forward. The Department of Health will issue guidance that it’s super not linked to cancer and safe to drink straight (bonus: this also cures the measles, which is good because they’re back “somehow”!) to intentionally undermine any lawsuits, and the USDA will cut off farm subsidies to anyone who doesn’t comply in practice.

Isn’t crony fascism grand?

I don’t think your mom has value. Guess I get to execute her if I want, and she doesn’t get to whine about it.

I hated this, too for…tangential reasons. Bad things don’t just happen, see, they happen because the protagonist, the antagonists, and basically everyone in the entire book the author bother to give a name takes every available opportunity to fumble around and fuck things up.

If you’ve ever heard of “competence porn”, just imagine the exact opposite and you pretty much get the gist.

Then it may be time to go shopping while you still can.

God damn right.

No, it’s absolutely correct as you broaden it to consider the average adult costs vs the average child.

The real reason you see this is that your employer gets a SUBSTANTIAL subsidy for YOUR insurance via a payroll tax credit. They do not get this for your spouse, so you see the true cost for them.

Gonna be donated to the dumpster out back, more like.

Hell no, people can finally spell it.

Uh huh. Sure. Just like Epstein. We all believe you, just another convenient coincidence…

And then not release a single game built for or exclusive to it until 2035. Hard pass.

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted for this. I’ve SEEN real tankies, doing odd things like cheering for BRICS to rise up or Russia to defeat NATO in Ukraine because late stage capitalist oligarchy counts as communism if it’s Russian or something, I don’t know?

But the VAST majority of the time I see it used is by neoliberals as an excuse to dismiss literally anyone anywhere on the actual political left out of hand.

1850s, maybe.

Came here to post The Thing. Glad someone beat me to it.

So the most intelligent, thoughtful, empathetic person on the planet is now President? The entire government is filled with caring, diligent, honest people?

Finally some good luck. I’ll probably be fine, figuring my own shit out won’t be too bad.

Yeah, imagine having a real, functioning government.

Must be nice. As an American millennial, sadly not something I ever really got to experience.

I don’t know, I have a damn hard time stopping to show this much consideration for those who have repeatedly proved they would never bother to do the same for me or mine.

Got burned alive for being a sadistic corrupt fascist living in luxury while the people starved? Sucks to suck, maybe the next one will think twice.

Fascists get what fascists earn.

I think that apparently capitalists won’t be happy until the literal entirety of 1984 is brought into being and every final vestige of joy is driven out of life.

And I say that as someone who mostly likes things like Impossible burgers.

Seriously. Did they find a significant chunk of a carrier group to tag along? Because otherwise it’s going to end the exact same way…unless it ends much, much worse.

Absofuckinglutely.
