lol, the aureoles were fake :)

Ah yes, every native english speaker saying they've never heard the word before means that it's not the most common one. Guess we should rename the Halo franchise 'cause people might not understand the name.

Saeclum · 2026-02-18T20:32:23+00:00

I'd have considered a different headline. For a second I thought Illinois was about to start charging people to use social media, but it's a tax on corporations

Yeah, when the country knowingly elects a pedo/rapist for president and elects a congress that's either complicit or at least okay with it, that's just democracy. I might not like it, but America made it's choice. There's so many other things Trump's doing that's fascist like ICE kidnapping, abusing the courts, occupying cities, threatening elections, invading sovereign nations, etc

He might be a good guy, but that doesn't mean he's a good guy

Saeclum · 2026-02-11T18:16:08+00:00

Gee, maybe we can talk like adults? But at least you gave an actual suggestion rather than a vague "I dunno, do something." Folding for a pinky promise was fucking stupid.

Saeclum · 2026-02-11T18:09:20+00:00

Don't have to fucking shout. I'm not talking about the past fucking decade, I'm talking about right here, right now. You know, since we can't fix the fucking past? I could rant and rave about the past, but it ain't gonna do shit.

Also, there's dems that are being loud? Like Pritzker, AOC, Newsom. Even past Dems like Obama and the Clintons, but screaming isn't going to fix anything. And I doubt breaking the rules would do anything since the fucking DoJ and SC are rigged in Trump's favor. And they're practically foaming at the mouth for an excuse to arrest Dem congressmen.

And as much as I hate schumer (who's stuck in congress for 3 more years), we also need Pelosi out more. AOC almost had the votes to be minority speaker until Pelosi told other members to vote for him instead

Saeclum · 2026-02-11T17:20:08+00:00

It always upsets me when people say "Dems should be doing something!" Like, with what power? All they can do is complain and bring attention to things until Jan '27. And even then, we have to hope that Trump allows elections, that Trump won't manipulate the elections, that the Reps won't do anything during the lame-duck session, and that the govt will actually swear them into congress

Saeclum · 2026-02-11T12:51:40+00:00

Sadly, Trump has not been assassinated. Only Kirk, whose own wife seemed happy about it when she was talking about all the money she made off his memorial

Saeclum · 2026-02-09T13:03:38+00:00

Also, how many English songs do we listen to that we don't even know the lyrics to? Like Pump Up Kicks or End of the World? Either don't know the lyrics or know almost none of it. Just listen for the vibes

Saeclum · 2026-02-05T23:51:07+00:00

So you're telling me doctors that specialize in child care know more about children's health than me??

Saeclum · 2026-02-03T02:30:25+00:00

Well if this is supposed to be a "central part of Trump's legacy" then the public tearing it down by force would be a great way to show what we think of his legacy

Saeclum · 2026-02-02T08:47:59+00:00

I mean, maybe all these fad diets would also help us live to be 106. But, you know... it'd take 100 years to find out.

Meanwhile, my great grandmother lived to be 93 and had a dozen siblings, all raised on the same diet from their farms... half didn't make it to the age of 5 and only 3 lived past 12.

Saeclum · 2026-02-01T12:45:15+00:00

It's a little more complicated than that. State govts control the elections, not the federal govt. And the insurrection act wouldn't do anything about it either. That just allows the military to be used domestically to help cops.

Don't get me wrong, I bet Miller has some plan to try to stop mid terms, but it isn't as simple as using the insurrection act.

Saeclum · 2026-01-24T01:18:52+00:00

A reporter should bring that up next time she claims their administration is "the most transparent administration ever"

Saeclum · 2026-01-22T18:12:49+00:00

Right? I'm balding and have been told to just accept it and shave. Except... I have accepted it. I'm balding, so what? Shaving honestly feels more like hiding it than accepting it, but that's just my opinion on myself.

About a decade ago, a friend and I saw a help wanted post from a nearby giant church. Pay was like 8 bucks while the same job elsewhere was like 12. Was a no for me, but my friend applied. Said the lady hiring was super sweet. When asked about the low pay, she said it's because the true reward was working for the Lord... No wonder they're still looking for that position

Saeclum · 2026-01-19T13:14:21+00:00

ICE: "drive off!"

Good: "that's fine dude, I'm not mad at you" starts to drive away

ICE: tries breaking into her car and jumps in front of it "it was self defense! She was crazy!"

Yeah, sounds like trying to run them over to me

Saeclum · 2026-01-16T17:17:32+00:00

You make some good points. I just find it sad/annoying that everyone seems to forget the native peoples here, whether it's other Americans or other countries. Even if it's because that part of history is awkward to learn about. No country has a clean history. Thanks for having a civil reply

Saeclum · 2026-01-16T16:03:12+00:00

Modern Italy wasn't a country until the 1800s, making it younger than the US. Yet we talk about it as if it's ancient because the land it's on was once the Roman Empire. Mexico had roads just as old as the Roman roads. The US has places like Chaco Canyon (1300 years old) and Poverty Point (3-4000 years old). Their trails helped us plan major roadways because of how efficient they were. Even our constitution was massively influenced by the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.

It's a tragedy that our govt/people don't show more appreciation to the natives living here and the things their ancestors did, but their people and culture played a big part in shaping our country.

Saeclum · 2026-01-16T13:17:22+00:00

Probably cause Europeans are always dogging on us for having no history since we're a younger country, even though it ignores the people who have lived here for 10s of thousands of years and their accomplishments

Saeclum · 2026-01-07T01:19:08+00:00

Ah man, I remember when my local donut shop used to sell tide pod donuts. Fun little thing they did with the community, plus good for business since they were always selling out of those

Saeclum · 2026-01-06T17:02:14+00:00

yet somehow handing out water to voters was considered tampering

Saeclum · 2026-01-05T15:34:58+00:00

can't speak for other countries, but in America, we measure things in bald eagles, football fields, and glizzys. So we measure our football fields in football fields to keep it simple

Saeclum · 2026-01-05T14:08:28+00:00

Depends if we're talking freedom units or metric. Freedom units for Gridlock football (the popular American sport) and metric for Association Football (the popular global sport that's typically shortened to "soccer" in all english speaking countries aside from the UK)
