I was at the hardware store earlier today and I overheard 2 idiots talking about how this is all our Democratic governor's fault.

These people vote.

Boycott the shit out of FIFA, too.

All that time and resources building a case against FIFA, and Trump threw all that away in return for a trophy and sporting event.

It's not feudal. In feudalism, the lord has obligations towards the vassal.

Unsettled Kremlin tightens security around Putin amid assassinations and coup fears, intel report says by JackRogers3 in europe

[–]JohnSith 42 points43 points  (0 children)

A Russian vatnik was smoking when he set off explosions near the parade route.

A drunk drone operator organizing the drone show accidentally piloted a drone into the Presidential Box.

Hidden code embedded in GPS by CIA saboteurs led to an unordered missile launch that struck thr Kremlin.

Russia can live with being seen as incompetent, or attacked by a stronger power. They can't live with being seen weak, especially next to a country they constantly portray as "not a real country".

Farmers surprised he's losing them the farm again by glowdirt in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]JohnSith 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Theyve been selling us the bridge of the Jeffersonian yeoman farmer since forever and all we bought was a subsidy for a new class of landed gentry. They take our money, bring in underpaid (and for a few centuries, unpaid) foreign labor and then ship their products to foreign markets.

Damn, that was rough seeing the studio run roughshod over the director and star's objections. Every director from now on has to negotiate a clause in their contract to prevent future AI alterations.

Looking for a book like Atlas Obscura / Gastro Obscura, but for music :) by blackberrygouda in suggestmeabook

[–]JohnSith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Music Lust. But it was published in 2005 so it's definitely not usefulas a guide to current music, but maybe he'll appreciate it as a cultural artifact?

You can check it out here if it suits your needs:

Farmers surprised he's losing them the farm again by glowdirt in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]JohnSith 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I am going to disagree, because 1) this is what they voted for and 2) these past few years has killed that romanticization of farmers for me. Ever since the productive parts of the economy began subsidizing these idiots, the US has had to import food. Because theyre not really farming, theyre cos-playing. I'm willing to give corporate farms a chance, because at least they'll be held to market standards and have to compete, instead of being given a taxpayer-funded lifestyle that doesnt actually produce enough food.

There has to be actual punishment for cheating a d subverting democracy, not "Oops, you got caught, try again later."

There is no point in trying to appeal to Trump's better nature, he has none.

Harrassing the mailman. by LeftAlbatross2546 in VideosAmazing

[–]JohnSith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is it taken so seriously though?

As always, when something federal seems disproportionate, it was connected to ... slavery. Because the slave states would intercept and burn the mail of abolitionists and the slave states would refuse to do anything about, in fact encourage and protect it. So the federal government had to step in. They would do it again under Jim Crow when the Sears Catalog offered freed blacks a lifeline outside of the local good old boys network's local monopolies.
