The DNC does not have the peoples’ best interests in mind. Not to say they aren’t the same as the GOP (not by a wide margin), but they are the political extension of their corporate donors. This is the reason why they don’t push forward with universal healthcare, why they’re cowards regarding Israel, and why not much meaningful legislation makes it through the gamut that puts the populace first. This is what conservative voters are done with, and many Democrats are fed up with as well. The GOP, for all their evil faults, actually do execute on the issues that their base cares about, though those action tend to be reprehensible.

Any mainstream Democrat candidate will NOT put forth or affirmatively vote for legislation or policy that goes against their donors’ wishes. The GOP are the same way, but at least they’re up front about it. But it hasn’t been just this election cycle, they’ve been this way for a long time. This is why many call them spineless, but it’s not about that; they aren’t paid to represent the people, they paid to pretend to care while preserving the status quo (their corporate “donations” far outweigh their salaries for the “right” politicians). Everyone and their mom has been screaming corporate greed for the last four years, yet not a single political committee has put forth an honest effort to go after corporations for price gouging, because they’d lose their campaign donations, similar to how any candidate that goes against Israel would get financially throttled.

Honestly it wouldn’t surprise me if they keep porn alive in a limited fashion to “track the deviants” as it were

It’s better than that, they’ve let other countries have their go at it over the last century, and took detailed notes along the way. The benefit they have now is the widespread plethora and availability of networked technology that they absolutely will leverage in their quest for control.

Beware of the brownshirts in your local community.

My wife and I have considered shoring up in Baja. We have quite a few friends in a well insulated community down there, and it’s a 12 hour drive from where we’re at, assuming they don’t lock the border from the inside (which they probably will at some point).

If they get the supermajority with the house, it’s game over. They’ll spend the next two years shoring up their power to where they won’t need elections anymore.

Regarding Elon, it’s even better than that: he’s probably getting a cabinet post. Say goodbye to the free and open internet where people are mean to him and daddy Trump. Goodbye encryption, and the “unauthorized” websites/web services. Hello tracking, dynamic pricing, and compulsive service use designed to drain your wallet.

Americans chose fuck around, and now we get to find out.

It seems like in almost every thread, there are at least one or two cranky individuals that just downvote for the hell of it.

Didn’t you know? You’re now required to carry your govt issues personal tracking device cellphone with you at all times for the government to know your location at all times in the event they decide to deem you a threat to their safety reasons.

Any time a store asks for a phone number, I use the local area code followed by 867-5309, and 9/10 times it works

I’d be curious to see what the effects are after a bad trip. You see it with mushrooms and acid, where someone benefits from a good trip but can have lingering side effects from a bad one.

Pop goes the weasel?

The key is to have that infinite money glitch, aka be born rich and have parents that stay rich

I’ve been in construction for many years, and the norm is working straight through till lunch then straight till the end of the day. Usually no one bats an eye if you take a few minutes to catch your breath or smoke if you bust ass, but yeah there typically isn’t a designated 10-15 all stop. That and most guys usually take 20 min to take a shit, so I guess it tends to balance out.

Most jobs I’ve had will schedule 8-430/9-530/etc, so that you work a full 8 hours but you have a 30min mandatory unpaid lunch break. The two 15 min breaks are paid, but they were also “discouraged.”

Awesome, thank you!

I’ll be that guy, where do I find this?

Indeed. I haven’t had a McDonald’s burger in probably 15 years, last I had one was the same deal. I’ll eat Carl’s Jr in a pinch, but that’s about it, and even then I feel pretty crappy afterwards.

Alcohol was my big one, especially as I get older. Quality of meat makes a big difference too, I found there’s a huge contrast between fast food burgers and quality steak in terms of red meat.
