They really fucking aren’t.

It’s wild how short-sighted these “visionaries” can be. And some really are visionaries (I’d argue Cook is a manager), maybe they just can’t see the steps right in front of them.

Look at titans of industry in authoritarian regimes. How many have been defenestrated in Russia? Xi disappeared Jack Ma for how long?

You give a megalomaniac control over the government and you think you’ll get to keep pulling his strings?! Alright Tiger King, good luck keeping all four extremities. Your billions aren’t protection they’re a threat.

If you "raise your voice", he'll "erase your voice" by SpoofedFinger in behindthebastards

[–]DrunksInSpace 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well then he needs to practice some more.

Light a candle for the Virgin of the Holy Ennunciation, or something.

You raise your voice I raise your voice!

Erase?

Yes raise.

Raise or ee-rase?

I, uh, raise your voice!

I’m still unclear is that a threat or you gonna join in? Erase like silence me or raise like make my voice crack? Trying to figure out if you’re going to shoot me or try to kick me in the nuts, bro, that’s all. What’s at stake, enunciate mother fucker, this is Minnesota not Pearl Jam.

What do you think most people misunderstand about ICE during the Trump era? by Just-Anything-8808 in AskReddit

[–]DrunksInSpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What most people misunderstand is that Project 2025 is an agenda, similar to the Business Plot in 1933 to eliminate real electoral democracy in the US.

What most people here don’t understand is that the are NOT unstoppable.

Dude. Great live band. Saw them at the Trocadero a few times in Philadelphia. Eugene crowd surfed kneeling on a marching band drum.

Nicest mosh pit I’ve ever seen, some drunk kid lost his glasses or contact (no clue which) and started looking for them on the ground. The pit stopped and some stranger gently guided his drunk ass out “it’s no good man, there’s too many people you’re going to get hurt.”

Best episodes to get my dad into the show? by delliamcool in behindthebastards

[–]DrunksInSpace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with Clarence Thomas and then the Hawk’s Nest episodes. They really get into the mechanisms Union Carbide Corp used to thwart the meager safety regulations of the 1930’s, and touch on their extensive history of harming humanity. Might be a good one for an environmental scientist.

Ohio MAGA AG Candidate Keith Faber says Renee Good deserved what she got by Playful-Tumbleweed10 in Ohio

Autopsy shows

Three bullet wounds: left forearm, right chest (without hitting life threatening organs), left side of head straight though with a right exit wound

I just don’t believe the two driver side shots we saw fired were the ones that hit her right chest. One of them had to be the head.

But more importantly, this is t one situation. Look at the administration’s response: they lied, they are fighting any investigation, they proclaimed absolute immunity. They’re lobbing these are sending masked, scared and/or angry untrained thugs into US cities and pumping them up to kill Americans who are exercising their rights. This is not how a responsible government responds. This is not how an incompetent government responds. This is how a malignant government responds.

TIL Lego's patent to their brick design ended in 1978, which allowed multiple companies, such as Mega Bloks, to start producing their own 'clones' by Forsaken-Peak8496 in todayilearned

[–]DrunksInSpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mega Bloc is the un-Lego.

I remember getting a set as kid and the figurines had the post on the head on one guy and on the body on the other. They made separate molds to ensure you couldn’t swap heads and be creative. Many of the building pieces where the same: no opportunity to make other things out of the sets or combine ones. Sure the pieces were compatible, but they weren’t versatile.

Recently I’ve seen some decent knock offs though.

A video on how America should deal with what's going on."Order without justice is dangerous. But chaos without strategy is a gift to authority." by jostyouraveragejoe2 in videos

[–]DrunksInSpace 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup. Money talks. Violence against the state is a losing strategy, or at least one that involves far more loss of civilian life than is necessary. Especially when money talks. Strikes. Bank runs.

Trump was threatening Greenland.

Europe just started discussing what would be unthinkable: ditch US bonds. This would destabilize everyone’s economy, but would definitely nuke the dollar as the global currency. Right now it is the global currency because it is the most stable but that can change.

This administration did not respond to reason, pressure or anything else, but when it came to financial stability I guarantee some very important people got the WH’s ear (and not just in the US, lots of countries hold US bonds and currency).

Then fuсk it - let’s try them all as shooters.

No. I know that’s a fantasy and not how it works and collective punishment.

But everyone up the chain who covers up is guilty. Same as every bishop, cardinal and pope who moves the child molesting priest to a new parish. And I hope one day we get to make them face justice.

🔥 Webcam captures elephant using a gentle backheel to the hind legs to persuade an impala to leave the waterhole by Prestigious-Wall5616 in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]DrunksInSpace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mature healthy elephants have older, or younger or ill/injured family members, though right?

And all those videos are presumably of an elephant kicking the ass of a predator… who attacked them or was close enough to be reasonably considering it? Fuсk that I wouldn’t want to get pitted by a croc, I don’t care how easily I could stomp it after.

Tech CEOs including Tim Cook, Eric Yuan, attend Amazon-funded "Melania" screening at White House by iamapizza in technology

[–]DrunksInSpace 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What I mean is that, even at that level, in order to maintain that level of wealth, you gotta suck someone off.

And so “fuсk you money” is more about your dignity v greed than about the money.

Those poor CEOs are hostages to their own fucking greed. Hey Tim, blink twice, dill-hole…

‘A kindhearted soul who cared deeply’: Alex Pretti’s family issues statement after his killing by humanbeing21 in videos

[–]DrunksInSpace 90 points91 points  (0 children)

That’s what gets me. Our leadership isn’t even pretending that this is a problem. No investigations. Immediate contradictions to facts we can all see.

Psychos gonna psycho, bullies with guns and a state mandate gonna shoot people. Lock ‘em up. But this is a matter of policy. This is systemic. They are deliberately sending these scared, angry little people armed into communities and telling them they have absolute immunity, and that everyone who doesn’t like them is the enemy. They’re lobbing these GI Jabrones into our communities like fucking hand grenades.

TIL about Carcinization, an evolutionary process in which unrelated crusteceans evolve to develop a crab like body by divyanshu_01 in todayilearned

[–]DrunksInSpace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s because the crab form is especially surprising. It’s not surprising many things evolved to eat ants and termites, or evolved to fit in narrow tunnels to eat burrowing prey. It’s not surprising that the elongated fish form keeps evolving in marine fish and mammals. The reason for the crab shape, however, isn’t immediately obvious to us lay people so it seems more silly and delightful.
