As a US resident, watching Trump fuck around with the tariffs meant pc prices were going to skyrocket. During the election I worked OT to save money and was able to buy an upgrade to a gtx4060, (I had a 1060,) and a processor that’s from a chipset made within the past 2 years. Bought my new one in March. Seemed like a no brainer if the prices of things inside the country were going to go up $300-500. The average person in the US can’t afford to upgrade their machines every year when a new card comes out. I make a living wage and I go 5-7 years before I upgrade. I’d bet that the uptick is being caused by financial uncertainty, and the people that have been wanting to upgrade realized that it would be financially better to upgrade ASAP before what was already on the shelves dried up, and getting hit with the tariff by waiting a few months later for the next round of imports. Couple this with AAA makers raising game prices and chopping the full game up into DLC to squeeze more out of us, plenty of people are moving to PC so they can raise the black flag, or play multiplayer games without having to pay a god damned subscription fee to the console makers. I convinced my g/f to buy a PC this past year and she loves it. I went PC after the PS3/Xbox 360 gen of consoles and never looked back. Edit: I also forgot that windows 11 was released, and may people do not have chipsets that will support win11, my old PC was one of them.

Gillibrand turned into an absolute corporate shill.

For me the point I want to make is that none of us are safe. We need to protect due process for everyone. Yes there are a subset of people that don’t care about the gov. deporting non citizens. If they see it’s happening to citizens, maybe they will start to care, maybe they will see how wrong it is to violate the rights of immigrants. I dunno. Like how do you reach these people to show them how wrong it all is?

This was a separate incident from the lady detained while walking to her office building.

Every projection is a confession. Gestures vaguely at ice gestapo, deportations of people to countries that aren’t their origin, deportations to prisons outside the US, and the constitution allowing slavery as punishment of a crime.

Remember when the Democrats cock blocked AOC from the oversight committee in favor of a 75 year old with esophageal cancer, that ended up dying anyway? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Rep Paul Tonko is one of the NY reps that voted no to impeach. I work 2 blocks from his office and plan to spend my lunch hour every day demonstrating in front of his Albany office. I already called his office to bitch. I’ve got printed letters that say, “Congratulations, you’re a fascist collaborator.” Going to be stuffing those in envelopes with glitter and putting one in the mail every single day. Give me your best for my protest signs.

Have you heard about the dangers of dihydrogenoxide?

Watching anything that fElon fail sparks joy.

Are we sure it was an ectopic pregnancy, and not gallstones caused by her diet?

For those not in the know, covenant house is a homeless shelter for kids based in NYC. They house homeless children up to age 21. I emancipated myself when I was 16 and started college. Stupid me didn’t realize that the dorms closed during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other holidays. Going back home for the holidays was out of the question because my mother let my rapist back into the house to live with her, (the reason why I emancipated myself in the first place.) I spent every holiday my freshman year of college at covenant house. I slept on a mat in a room with a bunch of other kids, but it was better than being on the streets and I didn’t go hungry. I learned my lesson after that year and rented a room sophomore-senior instead of deciding to live in dorm housing. For anyone that knows any homeless children that need help, they have a crisis line called the 9 line. 1-800-999-9999.

This happens to me no matter what I drink.

Canada, please boycott, ridicule, and fuck the USA over harder. As a NYer I apologize for the absolute vile creature our population elected into office. We deserve consequences. Invest in the military and secure your borders. Once this fascist is done with his campaign of terror on his own citizens, expect him to attempt and invasion. Stay strong. Many of us are doing all we can to resist. Please pray for us.

Alternatively: And put them on Trump

Incest is best!

We have enough of that bullshit down here in the states. Maybe relocate them to Mars?

My bad. I saw this image and assumed it was satire. I did find a real CL gig post, but have no way to determine if it’s a real job posting or if it was put up as satire. The joke about Trump never paying his debts went over my head, and in that case it is not satire. I’m sorry I misunderstood.

The image I posted has NOTHING to do with the military.com article. The military.com article relates to national guard troops being dispatched to LA and not being paid. The image I posted is a call for actors to be paid stand ins/seat fillers at the trump parade.

After some digging, I actually found the craigs list posting exists: https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/tlg/d/washington-seat-fillers-needed-june/7857143452.html

However, no way to know if the CL posting leads to real jobs or if it’s just a joke.

However, the fact that Trump never pays his debts is not satire. That is correct.

I edited the title to tag it as satire. Every day brings new absurdity. We are on a memes forum, but I could totally imagine people seeing this and thinking it’s real because the zone is so flooded with bullshit.

I’ll never forget the day when I signed off, “Kind retards,” instead of, “Kind Regards.”
