Demagogue is pretty close.

The mistake we made was thinking they want to return to the 1950s.

Projection 2025.

Harambe died so the orange-tan could go apeshit

If they have to explain the nickname, the strategy is working.

Let go of user count; return to quality.

I see nothing wrong with your logic. Acceptance of death is in some peoples opinion the main function of religion.

Oh look, a Joe Jackson survivor is going to mecca.

Hey George… the ocean called.

Death is the only correct answer. We’ve been singularly focused on avoiding it since we were single-cellular. Any other fear presented here represents a “what if” hypothesis about what’s on the other side of it.

Gasoline + styOfoam = naPalm. We can all play with words but the aggressor has been planning to use it for a long time.

There is no wrong answer but the right answer is Proxmox.

I agree with Techdirt’s ultimate opposition to the no fakes act. But in a world where Trump and the GOP are taken seriously, this is NOT obvious satire.

Remember when he hailed all the world’s Nazis from an inauguration ceremony?

We’ve got a bit of an alcohol oligarchy problem in society.

I love learning about RFK Jr’s progenitors.

With age comes wisdom comes the understanding that control does not work with humans. It sacrifices part of them to get an outcome the parent wants. But the job of parenting never ends. In your 80s you will still want someone older who can show you what to do next. A parent that learns to support without controlling the kid will find themselves always able to parent their kid because the kid will always come to them for help.

All the “good” ideas this administration has are precedents to authoritarian mandates. They promote healthy eating so they can deny insurance claims etc. if you indicate (or if they suspect) you’re not doing it.

The fundamental flaw in the premise is you cannot know what you’re doing “wrong” to not get it. If you’re not literally the other person, you can’t observe every string of thought that goes through their head. If they know how much you rely on their approval, their brain will automatically consolidate power over you, issuing approval and disapproval alternately based on how it will force you to maneuver in the course of getting their own needs met. The only thing a person can successfully control in a healthy way is themselves. So you’ll end up getting disapproval when they are tired or cranky or whatever without them necessarily even realizing what they are doing. No human other than yourself can be the never-ending source of approval you desire.

If this is happening, it’s likely you’re locked in a toxic codependent relationship in which the other person is getting a LOT more out of the relationship than you.

If this is about a boss (and this is where it gets exciting) you’re being managed in an oligarchy. You’re not allowed to be happy and feel constant approval because they are controlling you.

I could not be more sincere when I say: help us Europe; you’re our only hope.
