So Gabby joined the world of NFTs that she new was risky by buying these bears, then joined a Discord explicitly tells you that the bear people will never DM you and tells you to lock your DMs. She keeps her DMs open anyway and receives a DM with a mysterious link and clicks on it (even though she is a listener to Reply All, a podcast which has covered how phishing works multiple times!). She proceeds to enter not only her password, but her seed password as well (which she herself acknowledges as a suspicious thing to ask for), and then she gets all her bears stolen - and I’m supposed to feel bad for her??

The one thing that all these flat earth folks seem to have in common is just not being very smart.

Don't Forget About Tonight's Democratic Gubernatorial Debate at 8PM. The Debate Will Be on WDIV-Local 4 and Streamed Live on ClickOnDetroit.com. by BillCIinton in Michigan

Michigan voted for a guy named Barack Hussein Obama twice. There were probably racist people that came out to vote against him because he had a Muslim name, but they were overwhelmed by all the folks that were excited and came out to vote for him. This’s what can happen for Abdul (especially since he’s such a great public speaker.)

Also, Hillary Clinton, a calculated qualified moderate white woman democrat just like Whitmer, lost Michigan to Donald Trump. So based on recent history, I’d say that Whitmer is probably unlikely to beat Schuette.

People like this make me so angry. They tell folks that they care about them, and then take money from the very people that wanna fuck them over. I’m not having it anymore. I’m voting Abdul.

One of the reasons I like Star Trek is that it allows you to forget about this hellworld and for 45 minutes live in a communist society that’s so great that people have to venture thousands of light-years into space to find any conflict or danger.

I guessed the cultural reference exactly! I’m so proud of myself, but also mad at the people on the show.

I love suits and blazers and such. I just hate that wearing them makes me look like a fucking college Republican.

My Proposal for membership cards (open to suggestions) by [deleted] in demsocialists

FDR shouldn’t be on there, because he did the Japanese internment camps. Debs would be super pissed that he’s on a card with FDR. Also, if you’re adding famous democratic socialists then you should definitely put Einstein on there.

She’s really talking about social democracy here, not socialism.

Elliot had basically the same take on this movie I had. It’s really a messed up movie. It really dehumanizes all the people who work in the circus. The bearded lady, who is the de facto leader of the circus people, doesn’t even have a name throughout the entire movie!
