In a time of rampant and growing racism and racial inequality, Conservative America doubles down on enshrining racism and racial inequality.

It’s hardly surprising. A *SIGNIFICANT* amount of ‘ancestral’ wealth was built on 1) active slavery, where people were literally owned property, or 2) passive slavery, where people were forced to subject themselves slavery just to ‘earn’ the means to not starve to death in the streets. In either case, ‘enslaving’…
You could have saved yourself a lot of that drivel by just saying “I don’t get it.” Because you clearly didn’t. There are large, wealthy, and powerful groups with vested interests in sabotaging *ALL* of those programs (and others). They’re ‘run’ terribly because wealthy, powerful groups *WANT* them run that way. To…
The difference you’re not getting — medicare for all is for everyone, which makes it in everyone’s best interests, including the administrators, for the system to work well. That’s why the US Postal Service ran almost flawlessly for over a century. By comparison, VA benefits are only for veterans...which most often…
Yeah, it’s another layer in the shit-frosted cake that is the Reagan creed about how, “The government doesn’t work (we’ve made sure of it)!” The people complaining how some program or other ‘doesn’t work’ are almost always the *REASON* why whatever it is they’re complaining about ‘doesn’t work.’ Like, no shit it’s not…
So your solution to an exploitative business’s price gouging practices is to give your money to an even more exploitative business that price gouges even worse and also actively undermines and destroys its competition....
Privacy, like accountability and transparency, has always been anathema to US ‘law’ enforcement. But instead of looking inside and addressing the structural issues that cause privacy, transparency, and accountability to be at odds with ‘law’ enforcement, it instead attacks anything that even remotely resembles…
These types of games would be really well served by incorporating some of the tool tech that Spore was built on — the creature creator, building creator, etc. If you’ve ever browsed Spore’s library of ‘things,’ you know how massive that selection can be and how addicting it is to ‘make’ things with its tools — its got…
It’s exactly D3's seasonal rebirth that got me to start participating in seasons — it allowed me to keep the ‘playtime accomplishments’ while still starting the character over from level 1. Deleting an existing character to make a new one means that existing character loses everything you’ve done with them, whether…
Oh, they’re ‘motivated.’ Just for all the wrong things and wrong reasons.
So, like most ‘CEOs’, he’s another ‘promoted beyond the level of his incompetence’ clown who cannot see the forest for the trees, nor the trees for the forest. He has no meaningful skills or knowledge, and is relying on the status quo of an atrophied ‘profession’ that is easily the least important job, with the lowest…
Former Senator Shelby would like to remind you just how much power one corrupt politician from a single gerrymandered shithole state can wield to harm the entire country and industries. That’s how we got the DOA ‘Senate’ Launch System crammed down everyone’s throats, despite nobody wanting it except the politicians,…
Well, unless they decide to show what the most realistic version of Jesus was really like (if any such person ever existed). You know the type. We’ve seen plenty of them. The kind of person who nearly all cult-following figures are like: high-functioning psychopaths with a pathological need to be the center of…
The Starship part of the Starship LM that SpaceX promised NASA should probably undergo more independent testing for its space-worthiness while its superheavy-booster companion is still going through its growing pains. SpaceX can’t be so hard up for resources and manpower that they don’t have the people necessary to…
It’s ‘fascinating’ how the only kind of people who care about another person’s sexuality are the kind of people who only care because they want a reason to hate someone they don’t know, and should stop being a horrible person instead or, at the very least, fuck right the hell off.
I *REALLY* want someone to put up a legitimate challenge to SpaceX while there’s still time to maintain the disrupted marketspace. The last thing anyone should want is for space launch services to atrophy again, with King Douche Elon Musk in charge of the only real provider (and everyone fights over the scraps).
They’re tools. Nothing more. Nothing less. Like every tool, they can be used for good or ill. They can be a tool for information and education. They can be a tool for entertainment. They can be a tool for self-exploration or just exploration. They can be a tool for healing. They can be a tool for harm. They can be a…
But then they might be exposed to ideas that, you know, might make them ‘go gay’ or whatever bogeyman they’ve been conditioned to fight without question or thought. Also, you presume these people can read proficiently enough to understand complex ideas. Or that they can read at all. Illiteracy isn’t exactly an…
