There seem to be no pictures of his stupid face where he isn’t pulling some stupid face with his stupid, unpleasant, and malignant face

Superman rescued cats from trees, threw nukes into the sun, and rebuilt the Great Wall of China with his mighty eye beams, but to save Lois Lane he would reverse time itself¹. To be with her he’d abandon his great gifts. He always priortized himself and those he cared about. It’s kind of relatable though, he’s ultimately a guy from Kansas who wants to be just like everyone else. The world frequently benefits from his actions. But he is American, first and foremost. If he did abdicate responsibility, pull a Dr. Manhattan basically, the world would have to grow up a little and tackle its problems entirely on its own. On the upside, it wouldn’t have to argue about whose side Superman is really on, or complain when he doesn’t show up every once in a while for their specific crisis. Of course, America isn’t as principled as her fictional savior, so… milage may vary.

That’s so weird because I expected the rapid onset of a dystopian hellscape so I don’t know, Jennifer, what do you think went wrong?

The Egg Roll […] has long been privately funded without taxpayer dollars, largely through the American Egg Board, which also provides tens of thousands of eggs for the occasion.

Naturally, in the middle of a literal egg shortage, maga is gonna steamroll through this event with corporate flags waving.

In an alternate universe, the CDC is working to contain the bird flu epidemic, we’re buying eggs from our bestie neighbors in Canada, and the Easter Eggs at the White House this year are made of pine wood.

Takes a special kind of dipshit asshole to fail to recognize the entire reason they are as wealthy and powerful and beyond consequence is that they operate out of a runaway, uncontrolled, corrupt capitalist society and if they Fuck Around outside that box, they may rapidly and dramatically Find Out.

Burned at the stake, hanged, crushed, or drowned. Plenty of options.

Jocks all the way. Can’t stand all the material grabbing and creeping and all that. Just need to protect and support the sensitive bits.

Topic is about Lemmy as a whole, and I’m responding with my impression of that. Your re-interpretation of my impression doesn’t really make sense to me. I’m sure others have different experiences with their own usage of Lemmy but mine does not revolve around my instance enough for me to even form an impression of it. It certainly doesn’t dominate my user experience.

I do appreciate the responses here hinting that I’m wrong about my experience on Lemmy but I had a 13 year old Reddit account that I nuked after the API debacle and I remember the monoculture that developed. Lemmy is not Reddit even if a few instances have their own subcultures. Doesn’t invalidate my impression.

Thanks for pointing out how my opinion is wrong though.

That it doesn’t feel like a culture at all, that you have to adopt. There’s genuine discussion, not just a few top meme-comments and a sea of ignored participation.

You can buy liquor from Costco without a membership, and it isn’t packaged in bulk. Prices are most likely cheaper than liquor or grocery stores.

KS brands are made for Costco typically in the same places the name brands are and quality is very decent.

Just started getting into her music last year. Talented artist. Even more respect.

I don’t think they’ve ever given a fuck about praise from progressives. This is just a reset back their default position facilitated by the election of a fascist pos. Protections have always been lip service at best. They’ll soak up the praise as long as it’s profitable to do so and not a moment longer.

Don’t hear much about that when Florida gets butt fucked by a hurricane, I wonder where they are hiding

They only found six?

Given what a shit state the world is in and seemingly headed for worse, I’d wager you’re far from alone in having family that believes in absolute rubbish.
