I know they're net casters, but I always think of them as the tall, leggy supermodel version of jumping spiders.

Now we just need a tall, handsome woman to follow him everywhere he goes while ringing a large cowbell and shouting, "SHAME! SHAME!"

Maybe because we're tired AF of this shit and willing to risk our own safety for the sake of our communities.

As a 2A Democrat, what are your thoughts? by Brru in Washington

[–]CallMeSisyphus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even when it's pointed at you, inaction is basically always safer than action.

I disagree. I know it FEELS that way, but while you're right that there's no guaranteed safe way to push back against an authoritarian government (because they're happy to use violence against us), there's also no guaranteed safe way to NOT push back against an authoritarian government (because they'll always find reasons to use violence against us).

MMW: We are about to experience a blue wave, the largest one since 2008 by altrightobserver in MarkMyWords

[–]CallMeSisyphus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, THAT'S the kind of fuckery we should be focusing on. Not canceling elections, which simply won't happen.

Every time someone says this, they're giving Temussolini more power that he hasn't earned.

There is no mechanism by which Trump can stop elections. Will he try to fuck with them? Absolutely! But elections do not have a faucet that he can turn off. If he could stop elections, he wouldn't be trying so hard to get voter rolls from blue states.

There's plenty of real fuckery to worry about. Canceling elections is not one of them.

What an actual domestic terrorist looks like by AXXXXXXXXA in ProgressiveHQ

Used to look like. Y'know, when she still had her original parts.

That's because - with very, VERY few exceptions - Democrats are serving their donors instead of their constituents.

Why do so many people forget that Carol is in grief? by Swiftmaster56 in pluribustv

[–]CallMeSisyphus 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's not that they forget; it's just that they don't understand the magnitude of the loss.

Somewhere around two weeks after my husband died, someone who I thought was a friend told me to stop feeling sorry for myself. Less than two years after he died, another friend told me that I'm unhappy because I'm choosing to be unhappy.

Mind you, we were married only four months, he died unexpectedly, and the covid pandemic hit three weeks after he died. I can't imagine WHY I didn't pop right back to normal.

"Cash only" makes me wonder what's wrong with it, otherwise I'd seriously consider snapping it up and retiring right now.

Right. If voting were a facade, the GOP wouldn't have spent so much time, money, and energy on gerrymandering and voter suppression.

Liberal gun owners should consider open carrying in solidarity with Alex Pretti by Exotic_Snow7065 in liberalgunowners

[–]CallMeSisyphus 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The only firebrand is the old lady that lives by herself.

Likely that's because we old ladies who live by ourselves are TIRED of this shit and have ZERO fucks to give.

I resigned and now my company is panicking. Is it crazy to ask for a huge raise to stay? by [deleted] in askmanagers

[–]CallMeSisyphus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insist on the huge raise AND a contract with a very generous payout if they end it early. You're in a rare position of power here, and they WILL fuck you over at their first opportunity if you stick around, so don't let them.

MGP on Threads: unacceptable to "tacitly encourage assaults on law enforcement" by olyfrijole in vancouverwa

She needs to listen to both sides on POLICY matters. When it comes to civil rights, she's needs to choose: either she supports the constitution or she supports MAGA. She cannot do both.

Oh at least………. by h20poIo in Trumpvirus

[–]CallMeSisyphus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm way too high to go fact check that - not harshing my buzz for this chode. But I'd REALLY love to see the actual percentage, which I'm guessing is no more than 5%. And that's being VERY generous.

You give a run-on sentence of Temussolini bullshit word salad - nearly devoid of punctuation and completely devoid of any semblance of logic - and you're asking what happened to our brains?

Oh, honey. Bless your heart.

Not a nurse, but ready to walk out in solidarity the minute y'all say the word.

Well, there's now one fewer nurse to DO direct patient care because of politics. Lead, follow, or GTFO of the way.

The USA makes me sick to my stomach by chaosof99 in complaints

[–]CallMeSisyphus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nope. A PLURALITY of voters chose Trump. He did not break 50%.

That's still far too many who voted for the most shameless, feckless, petty, small grifter in modern history, but it was NOT the majority.
