The unit of "drink" is not very specific. That martini or Rusty Nail is just as harmful as a 2% cider I guess. How about those 5 liter beer boots?

I got shadow banned (seemingly site-wide) after pointing out that the Biden and the Democrats’ messaging shifted from “Trump is a fascist” to “we have to think about unity!” after Trump got shot in the ear, which proved to me Biden et al. were either allied with fascists by protecting them from harm or never believed Trump was a fascist to begin with, which pointed to Biden (and his team and the whole democratic news media) being more closely aligned with Trump than they wanted people to know.

The tipping point for me was probably the line “if Biden actually thought Trump was a fascist and had an actual problem with that, he would’ve shot him on stage”

You’ve already hinted that you desire to or plan on leaving, so why do you care if someone carrying out white supremacy through military action beats out someone carrying out white supremacy through legislative action by voting to ensure the person who carried out white supremacy through military action newfound access to legislative power? Both deserve [redacted], not a vote.

Liberals when they shield their delicate eyes from clear and actionable items to make the world a better place and resort to vaguely rephrasing and omitting things until it is meaningless to them.

“I keep going to this same restaurant, so realistically all I’m ever going to eat is what they have on the menu”

Go organize. This isn’t the same as joining an angry parade. Talk to your local PSL. Standing outside the restaurant telling them to make better food won’t work since theirs is the only restaurant in town.

I’m not saying not to vote, but I’m also trying to get you to understand that getting stuck in the situation where you feel like voting is your only option doesn’t change the system at all- it changes yourself. Over time, it erodes your values until you are what you would’ve detested 20 years ago. One day, you’ll develop a liking for DDT pesticides because the alternative is nuclear waste.

You’re only forced to vote for the nazi because you would rather do that than organize for an alternative system. Voting for a Nazi is easy. Organizing and changing this system entirely isn’t.

I’m trying to change restaurants, but renouncing citizenship and leaving is easier said than done.

I'm not telling you to change restaurants. Other restaurants likely have the same issues you want to leave this one for. I'm telling you to be the restaurant. And just to be doubly clear, I'm not telling you to run for office. I don't want you to be an option for other people to pick from. I want you to work with an international community of chefs to build the best fuckin sandwich we've ever had.

So long as you’re depending on other people preparing food for you, you’re going to eat the most palatable thing available even if it’s bad. Even if it’s labeled much more appetizing than it ends up tasting. This isn’t even mentioning the fact that, while annoying for you personally to have to pick something you don’t want, it is a decision that has terrible and near irrevocable harm to the global south.

Theres a whole group of people learning how to cook for themselves and teaching others to cook as well. If you don’t like what’s being served, don’t keep going to the restaurant serving DDT pesticides and McDonald’s burgers.

I have this novelty decimal watch by Svalbard. I like it a lot.

It's that Demitri Martin quote

"There's a small but important difference between peeing in the pool and peeing into the pool"

I have a bag of Lane Limited 1-Q around just for the aroma even though I don’t smoke. It’s such a nice smell when it’s not burning.

Teleporting doesn’t teleport your clothes. If you save their lives, they see your gross naked body.

How dare they purity test my vote blue no matter who?! I swear it’s like they don’t want the lesser evil candidate to win. They’re essentially helping fascism win by saying anything negative about her when her opponent is actively pro-genocide. Etc etc

If liberals had any sort of consistency to their logic, they wouldn’t be liberal anymore.
