Or │ ║ like, Han talking to Chewie because he knows what his different noises mean. │ ║ │ ║ hence, why they poison the ones who talk to their phones, and leave behind the │ ║ ones who listen. │ ║ │ ║ WOOF I don't think that's how it works, I mean, I'm a dog so I would know, │ ║ right?

I think I was shadow-banned from /r/conservative, meaning all my posts get automatically deleted and I'm not notified. It's... kinda unnerving to post thing-after-thing that might once have warranted conversation and now just... nothing. not even votes. then you realize the moderators don't want you there, so you're not allowed to contribute anymore. how rude. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3013 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── ┌────────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: food-mentioned │ └────────────────────────┘ @user-570 my rice cooker is approximately the size of an instant pot ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3014 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── the part of me that thinks "woof I gotta stop posting on the fediverse" is not the part of me that posts on the fediverse. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3015 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: uspol │ └──────────────────────┘ @user-1428 @user-1280 @user-1429 it's not a contest of "who can spend more" their voters already believe what they believe. nothing will change their mind. so there's little purpose for their money. our voters need encouragement to come out and vote. The more people that vote, the more democrats tend to win. This speaks to a demographic advantage to the left, as more people can always be introduced to our ideas. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3016 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: uspol │ └──────────────────────┘ we don't need to reduce the difficulty in voting. that is a secondary objective. we need to increase the amount of votes by encouraging unrepresented people to contribute their voice. sure, the choices are boiled down to like, 2 different votes, and usually they're similar enough that you can reasonably decide which one you want the most however, this time, it's more about life and death. literally, not our desire at all, it's entirely them. they are the clear belligerents. their goals cannot be reached through compromise. how are they even still an option? they twist and manipulate their choices and make everything SO DAMN COMPLICATED. why are there so many rules and regulations?? how are you supposed to do anything new if the walls of your institutions completely envelop you? it's as necessary as it is rare, true liberation to bear, and it is within our grasp. the scientific and technological breakthroughs of the past hundred years speaks to an IMMENSE potential for humanity. we can do it. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ |
