I’ll expect my free credit score check sometime in the next 2 years.

Hopefully it will stay that way.

They don’t know what happened to Pretti’s phone that he was recording ICE with.

They don’t know what happened to Pretti’s gun.

Blender is safe.

Nothing is impossible to fuck up when you have enough money and/or lawyers.

You’re not wrong. Just have to be selective which brand printer you buy - and I say that with the awareness that a company can enshittify an online printer capable of monitoring cartridge use/ID at their whim. BS Proprietary cartridges that know when they’ve been used up and tattle someone’s refilled them and refuse to work (looking at you, HP).

All the presidents combined for the last century have only amassed $40 million in wealth while in office despite the whining and complaining by the right about the Clintons or Obama. All of them, combined, a century’s worth…$40 million

Trump has stuffed his pockets with $3 billion in since he got elected. In one year.

Vanity project that nobody wanted.

They’re cosplaytriots fighting people that are unwilling to fight back. There’s no price for being boot camp dropouts with a badge.

How about never.

Shitty president = more sadistic tools put in their place. It’s not going to get better.

Not sure what the markets have to do with anything but the DJIA has been down pretty much for 5 days straight. The USD as well, brief spike but down steadily over the last ~week.

So yeah, dollar weaker with a market decline.

That’s true. He wanted to pay Americans less so we could compete with low-wage manufacturing countries like China and slash environmental regs so we could pillage the landscape for resources. Nevermind how much it would wildly increase disparity and fuck the average person.

Yet, as usual, his supporters couldn’t think past tossing brown people in cages and pissing off the libs, so here we are.

He’ll leave the US completely bankrupt and walk away with the billions he grifted on office.

The point being a person with a few billion will still be able to buy pretty much whatever they want while everyone else struggles.

Not the actual worth of the currency.

And if you’re a rich person it affects your finances essentially zero while hurting consumers far worse.

You should actually read the book, or at least that part of the chapter.

Edit: you can read the context, and the entirety of the book, for free here or at Project Gutenberg.

I’m getting a lot of miles out of Orwell these days.

This process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound-tracks, cartoons, photographs – to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance. Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct, nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary.

Just another politician doing the wrong thing and then acting like they didn’t understand it later. Because there aren’t any consequences.

“They don’t believe us? Uh oh, now what do we do?”

I’d be careful with this. The NRA blamed Walz for essentially inciting the shooting. I don’t have much hope that republicans calling for investigations would not try to spin it to blame democratic officials.

You can say whatever you want on social media, they don’t control what you see! - Lemmy, complaining about censored w*rds in social media copypasta here.
