Wait... it’s “17 angry democrats”, now? I thought it was 13.

I should have said “nobody is moderating as a full-time job”. I think any moderation is coming from the authors of the articles.

We are rapidly moving into hyperrealism and Baudrillard’s nightmare predictions concerning the simulacra, where the symbol becomes more desirable than the object it represents. This trend will only accelerate as technology continues to advance, driven in part by this fetishization of the hyperreal - i.e. it’s…

Every outfit she wears is horrid.

I haven’t been carded for alcohol or cigarettes since my beard started graying. 

I’m not even sure there is anyone left moderating the kinja platform, which allows a lot of trolls to slip through the cracks by starring their sockpuppets.

Excuse me? That’s present perfect progressive, thank you very much!

Yeah, but you can get a burner ID at Walmart.

After trump was elected, some idiot staying in our house said he was glad because trump would “follow the constitution”, quickly followed by a diatribe about upholding the 2nd amendment. That’s the only part of the constitution they know or care about.

Oh, jeez. I’ve dealt with stupid clients for basic digital design-work... I can’t imagine how bad it would be doing that sort of stuff. Not just the content, but the complexity. So many opportunities for vague, unhelpful “requests”.

lol, that’s some regretsy-level shit.

Indeed. We’ve all seen plenty of evidence left proudly by them on social media.

And that the cybersecurity measures taken by our leaders were woefully inadequate compared to their state-funded hackers.

I probably should have paired that with “... for the sake of this comment.”

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed that dog-whistle.

All the corruption is out in the open. You used to have to do a little work to dig it up, but now they don’t even bother hiding it. They realized that there are no consequences, anymore.

That’s a common attitude among conservatives, and I don’t know why (aside from Barack being intelligent, well-spoken, and... black). It’s like he triggered their “uppity” sensors because he had the nerve to even be in the White House.

I literally laughed and said “WAT” out loud when I saw that. Things are not great, and when those tariffs really kick in you’ll see a downturn. Then, panic.
