Two-time Art School Survivor Former Clerk Pittsburgh C̶a̶b̶b̶i̶e̶ Uber Driver Theoretical Designer Aspiring Tony Stark All my memes are OC, so I take credit for any questionable post. -------------------- Ah, beans. If you're here, you're probably mad about something I said. I do that. I'm sorry. I promise I'm not a troll, and I promise if we met in real life, you'd probably like me. Here's a rundown of the stuff I say that gets me downvotes. 1. America isn't as broken or bad as Imgur wants to make it out to be. It's a great place full of lovely people. Not perfect, but defendably decent. 2. Guns are tools. Nothing more. What scares me is that all the wanna be fascist are the only ones with them, & they know it. That's a major problem. If you want the right-wingers to back gun control, get your liberal asses to the range and learn to shoot. It'll terrify them into background checks by the end of the month. Nothing would undermine the NRA like a bunch of Rainbow AR-15s being open carried at a Pride Parade. 3. I'm not a Republican, nor a conservative. But around here I'm practically right of Nixon it seems. In reality, I've voted for all major parties, & several minor parties. I don't vote against people, and as such if you think my vote for a Libertarian is siding with the Republicans, that means you think my vote would have been for the Dems if the Libertarians weren't an option. That is not true. I liked Andrew Yang's policies a whole lot. Which directly contradicts my Libertarian mindset. I don't get it either. 4. I'm a process nerd. America moves slow. Culture wars move fast, because anger can only burn for so long. Which is why America moves slow. If you're worked up about possible laws, you don't understand our system. Any idiot can propose any law, especially for performance, recently. Almost none of them get through the process. Instead of screaming about the start of the legislative process, move to the end of it. It will make you significantly more calm. 5. Capitalism is the worst economic system, except for all the others. Raging against Capitalism on your private for profit network connected cellphone on a private for profit company's website makes you look fucking silly. It's like yelling about junk food while having dinner at McDonalds. Stop it. It ain't going anywhere. The people who want it to have no power to do that, & are far fewer than you think. You are free to move to a non-capitalist country if you so choose.
They're all so horny for Trump to finally get got that they don't pay attention to the reality of the situation. I went all in on the Russia thing for a year and then read the whole Mueller Report and ...it was nothing. We gotta calm down. This doesn't help.
Yeah, an none of them know more than you or me. And we're clearly fucking idiots. So yet again, if we're going to start from the idea that "Trump is about to be indicted for espionage".... sauce.
Your proof is a blog post that the author has since reversed his stance on. Got anything else?
Guy in November: Trumps definitely going down within 6 months. Guy in January: Nm. You in April: READ NOVEMBER!!! The legal case for espionage is incredibly difficult. Merrick Garland has yet to prove he can do difficult.
Live in a fever dream?
The same guy 2 months later: https://verdict.justia.com/2023/01/18/neither-biden-nor-trump-will-be-charged-with-any-unlawful-conduct-resulting-from-their-possession-of-classified-documents-but-for-very-different-reasons
I'm gonna need a sauce on this espionage indictment.
companies don't spend money on regulations that *might* happen.
My counter offer is banning Twitter screenshots and tiktok gifs in exchange for more explicit content. Make Imgur Imgur again!
The company was only kept afloat by r/WallStreetBets ...they were failing and the powers that be are scraping out the horrific investments of the Memestock crowd. This should have happened 3 years ago, but at smaller scale. Instead idiots pumped it and funded a bigger payday for these dickbags.
So your Republican boogie men are the NeoLiberals. Gotcha.
RUNS ON SOULS
Ok. So how do you regulate amazon so that it's customers go back to Bed Bath and Beyond? I would love to hear this.
And that applies here.... how?
You have far more faith in the Republicans than I do.
I clicked 2 buttons on my key fob. I don't give a shit about his intentions. He had his 15 seconds of fame. I responded by burning oil. Fuck him and fuuuuuuuuuuck you.
The company has not been fine for a long time. They peaked about a decade ago, and only got a financial lifeline in the stimmy check fueled WallStreetBets insanity.
I mean, that's how time works. By this logic it's all Columbus's fault for coming here in the first place.
That's the business Romney built. Bain Capital.
How do you regulate "compete better with amazon"
They have been hemorrhaging stores for years. They aren't' a sound business. This wasn't a hostel takeover. It was a meme stock that was barely hanging on. Fondue sets and My Pillows ain't cutting it, even with their 25% off coupons.
The best kind. The company failed. It the people who were running it were competent, they would still have their company.
Distressed buyouts in private equity aren't trickle down economics. Also not Regan. That's Mitt Romney.
Imgur has decided that their earnings problem is clearly images that no one can see without a link. It's not that when I recently asked a mod if we were ever getting Albums back they scoffed at me and said Never again. So. Ya know. It's clearly the invisible images and not the lack of understanding your community.
WHERE WAS I TO GET THE INFORMATION YOU ARE REFERENCING IN THIS PROTEST?!?! Please for the love of god answer the question.
Where in this protest was I supposed to get that information?
I'm sorry. I didn't clearly understand the orange dust. That's clearly on me.
Why would you need a sex swing with that much swing?!? I was under the impression the most you would need is a back and forth of a couple of inches.
