It’s probably set up by the utility company to monitor either electric or water usage.

I refuse to cave to the newspeak demands of our social media overboards.
Censored posts will not be getting my vote.

This is where we are.
It’s no longer
“I didn’t speak’ and there was no one left to speak for me”. It’s now “I spoke’ so I ended up in a concentration camp in Central America”.

My parents would call me in tomorrow if the could, they already hate me because I’m the"stupid socialist"

Honestly I prefer it to Reddit because it’s smaller and more civil.
But I won’t lie, I’ve quit Lemmy for a few days when there’s a huge news story.
I’ll go over there because there’s more engagement and updates seem to happen more frequently.
But in general I prefer it here, and I’m happy most of the people stay over there, I don’t want most of them here anyway.

I can’t imagine why 🤷‍♂️

If only that dickhead in Butler knew to aim for the center of mass…
But no, the idiot needed his headshot.
He wanted to be Lee Harvey Oswald but ended up John Schrank

I know America deserves all the shit we’re getting right now.
But I feel like like people in other countries are being a bit cavalier about the fact that they’re locked in a room with America and it’s got a loaded gun.
Trump may be an idiot, but he has the world’s largest army and a nuclear arsenal at his fingertips.

Is it a world war yet?
We have Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, The US, The UK, The EU, Canada, Australia, and even Argentina involved in the war in some way now.

Idiocracy was a utopia.
They wanted the smart people to be in charge, President Camacho even resigned when he realized Joe was more qualified as a leader than him.

Idiocracy is a terrible comparison to the shit show we’re actually living in.

A human centipede but made of weasels

Every time I have taken a job that I hated and told myself that I would only stay for a few months, I ended up trapped in it for years.
Sometimes it’s not viable to wait for something that you like though, bills need paid and mouths need fed.

The Dems are a minority in both the House and the Senate at the moment, they’re literally powerless.
The best time to criticize them would have been over the last two years, when they actually could have done something about the mess.

I wish.
In Idiocracy the public wanted the smart people in charge, President Camacho even stepped aside when he knew he was unqualified compared to Joe.
In whatever the hell this is, the public demonizes intelligence.

But Musk is one of the many bad things Trump has done, in fact things like renaming the Gulf of Mexico, Fort Liberty, and mount Denali and other stupid ass executive orders coming out of the oval office are specifically designed to outrage us and keep us distracted from Musk dismantling the government behind the scenes.

They won’t though, Elon dismantling our government gives them a daily breaking news headline and that’s good for profits.

Chase routinely flags my phone bill that I’ve been paying to the same company for 5+ years as “potentially fraudulent” and doesn’t allow the purchase to go through.
However, they didn’t flag a $900 purchase on Chipotle gift cards on the other side of the country as potentially fraudulent and I had to file with them and wait for them to complete an investigation.

My Grandfather.
He was a drunk and a a wife beater.
One night starting at about 10 pm he beat my grandma to the brink of death with anything he could find.
He broke the walnut coat tree over her head, beat her with the radio, whipped her with his belt, broke her hands, tired her up behind his car and drug her up and down the gravel road, burned her clothes, and left her outside in February and kept dumping water on her trying to wake her up.
He finally stopped around 5 am when he called my mom because she wouldn’t wake up.
My mom and aunt took her to the hospital and sent the cops after him.
He tried to say she did it to herself and then charged his story to say that she ran off with “a bunch of n*ggers to do cocaine”.
She was in a coma and was pronounced brain dead 4 days after it happened.

There were belt marks on her back and stomach and you could clearly read his name from his belt buckle.
I vividly remember sitting though the court hearings and testifying at 12 years old.

He went to prison, we had to fight his parole every 5 years to keep him in, because he would have killed all of us for putting him in there, for 20 years.
In 2020 he died a slow and horrible death in the prison infirmary of Covid, he suffered for weeks and not one of his children or grandchildren went to visit him in his final days.
