You know what would be absolutely hilarious for a week or two? Appointing Obama as Speaker of the House and watching Trump have an aneurysm and/or stroke.

Kegsbreath is a civilian now - Secretary of Defence is a civilian position, no matter how much he wants to cosplay being military.

You could always try using “sudo dpkg -r --force-all apt” instead. It won’t clean up the dependencies, admittedly.

Covid helped Trump by masking the effects of his economic policies. I’d say that Biden won despite Covid rather than because of it. Did you mean “because of Trump’s failure of a response to Covid”? Because that I could get behind.

“1500W”.

Riverbed, deathbed, we’re not overly picky.

Gotta be careful agreeing with crazy people online on lemmy today.

We’d just be omitting the implied “Doesn’t” from the middle.

I’m not sure how that would fly in the states of Al Obama and Flo Rida.

I feel bad for the guy’s existence. Is that close enough?

There’s plenty of use in a dumpster, after all.

It wasn’t always on fire. And when it was you could usually find at least someone willing to piss on it to try (and fail) to put it out. Hell, often when it wasn’t on fire, even.

Violence isn’t the answer. Yet.

Dinner, when lunch, is not tea, but may well include tea.

Looks like someone upvoted the first and downvoted the second when they saw he’d posted the same comment twice. I sometimes do that too.

They hooked some scientists up to some electrodes, picked the ones that glowed the brightest, and then made them take an IQ test. The AI scored higher. Some have suggested the scientists may have scored higher if they were removed from the electrodes first.

Gross profits. Because they can absolutely manipulate the net. And do.

I hear there may be better methods of destroying orphan crushing machines than clogging them with orphans.

There’s a reason voting is generally recognised as the least effective method of civic engagement. If you’re not doing more to promote and support the candidates who stand for the values you have, you’re probably not going to get the results you would prefer.

Just remember that the least effective method is still an effective method. Not voting is what “they” want you to do.

Pay attention in the lead-up to the primaries as well, perhaps?
