I fucking despise this kind of gaslighting. YouTube does it too, with their “experiencing interruptions?” popup that then takes you right to the FAQ section telling you to disable your adblocker and that it may cause problems. no, you drooling fucking simpletons, you are causing problems deliberately, problems I will circumvent without disabling anything out of pure spite.

Welcome to the Vibe Economy. Just nobody sneeze, and the market will be okay.

authentic first-hand piss drinking experience, the kind of content that only lemmy could deliver. excellent

Right? I’m just saying, the chart is clearly incomplete, we can make this funnier.

Needs to have a photo of Vanilla Ice on there somewhere, maybe Ice Cube too

I’ve had people tell me Reagan, and other people tell me we’ve sucked since FDR died. I’m tempted to believe them, with what history I know.

The more they alter, the more chance it is they fuck it up somewhere.

this is the dumbest timeline

this has been the dumbest possible timeline for longer than you or I can probably remember. I remember noticing the difference between pre-2015 and post-2015, but I’ve been assured things have been imploding consistently since at least 9/11 and definitely by the 2008 financial crisis.

In other words, it is entirely possible, yes.

there is no possible way “100% democrats in the files” just goes without any pushback, so yeah either they’re totally unredacted and unaltered (likely, comes with its own set of problems) or the democrats absolutely will ratfuck the others.

personally I think the most likely outcome is that Trump’s name appears far fewer times than we expect (after they’ve, yanno, had their way with the files). Maybe a couple instances to satisfy the public that he was a skeezy fuck, but anything that implicates him in something serious will be changed to point to someone else’s name. Usually a Democrat, maybe sometimes the RINO of the week. You’d then just have to make sure every document agreed with every other document – say, dozens of people working in teams for a few months could get that done. Say, weren’t a team of FBI agents doing exactly that not too long ago? Sorting through all the files, looking for every instance of Trump’s name? Wonder what’s up with that.

That would be the smartest way to alter the files. Leave everything else untouched, just make sure the golden orange boy old fuck isn’t smeared. Are they smart enough to do that? Possibly. Maybe. Hopefully not, because the “100% democrats” shitshow would be hilarious to watch

“No, I don’t want ads. No, I don’t want cookies. No, I don’t want to even be asked about cookies, or subscribing to your newsletter, or to sign up for access to this article. Fuck off.”

I genuinely wish I had a property large enough to justify the installation of three decorative wells along one edge of the property, just to make that joke.

the fact that “what has bill clinton done with his penis” has been a relevant, current-events political topic twice in thirty years is what kills me.

“…but I don’t want to throw out capitalism.”

you should always tip the housekeeper, but I’d never consider tipping quite as much as I would for that

Ubisoft fans should be accustomed to being incredibly disappointed by now, surely.

Journalists should be funded by the public, as they perform a public service, while simultaneously they should not be required to report favorably upon the state. We just fail to do so because it’s more profitable for the old money that own the current media empires (and Larry Ellison), with the added benefit that the general public are treated like mushrooms – feed them shit and keep them in the dark.

yeah, truth is only something those who can afford to pay should have, better that the poors get their news from Facebook posts as God intended
