Once user trust is burned it’s not coming back.

There are no positive outcomes available now - it’s time to abandon Google.

Linux phones arriving sooner? Hopefully that’s the silver lining.

Ha you beat me to it!

Plot twist: Turmp announces $40bn Russia bailout. 😬

Damn for a moment I thought you were about to say “Feed his corpse to the pigs and set those pigs on fire!”

Which almost seemed reasonable given the circumstances and necessity of a thorough disposal.

Well who would have guessed… at any point in the last decade!? I’m shocked! You mean to say Turmp was deeply involved in an international pedophile sex trafficking business spanning decades? Servicing the rich? Laundering money? Blackmailing people? Lying about it? I’m shocked I say, shocked!! He never gave away even a tiny peep in all that time!!

I have four kids - thankfully I’m not in the USA. Trust me here? The meltdown isn’t about the cinnamon toast and neither do you have to buy it. Your own rage also isn’t about cinnamon toast, or your kid - these are the triggers not the cause.

Make sure you let your kids know that you love them and you care. Be on their side emotionally, even as you’re saying no to something. Direct your rage at predatory capitalism for your exhaustion, not your kid! They will forget the cinnamon toast but they won’t forget that you were angry with them if it happens a lot. Your relationship with your children is precious and delicate, and not worth wrecking for any amount of money.

Good luck, you are stronger than you know!

Reverse number the days and count them down until it’s finished? You’re almost done, hang in there!

“How did I just do that?” you may be asking!

Please, allow me to elaborate further:

Like this:

Satire does not require satire these days.

Sorry that’s too much effort!

This is the thing the fascist supporting members of the public need to understand: that everyone gets thrown under the fascist bus and nobody earns safety by cooperating with it. Not even the upper echelons of fascist leadership are safe. Fascism ultimately means that everybody is in great danger of death no matter who they are.

I am really sick of fascism! We haven’t learned the lessons and I’m not even sure we can any more. Human beings have probably been dealing with fascists forever and will need to remain vigilant until the end of time. This year has been educational and not in a good way.

I will die before I will be quiet about it, but we’re all on the list anyway so whatever.

The shitter is that Britain is a few years behind the USA. Tr*mp will be gone, but Britain will continue to elect fascists beyond that. We haven’t even started here yet and we’re the originators of the problem. Ugh!

It wouldn’t have required much effort to determine that effort does in fact require effort.

Unfortunately these things do require more than zero fucks.

Say Cancel now, or remain silent to confirm…

Purchase successful!

Anywhere touched by the British empire is still recovering from the experience. The East India Company were practising fascism “a merger of state and corporate power” [1] centuries before Mussolini even named it as such.

Fuck Britain, a nation of “excellent table manners and genocide” [2] we are the original fascist hellmouth and fascism has been our chief global export since forever.

I can’t apologise enough for this shitty nation, we are trying to sort it out.

Signed, A British Peasant

Quote refs: [1] Benito Mussolini: “Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.”

[2] Terence McKenna: “What was created by the era of the proper gentleman was excellent table manners and genocide over most of the surface of the planet.”

Thanks, I appreciate the catch up!

Much happier to hear the meme isn’t anything to do with creepy unfuckable dudes who imagine it’s only a matter of time until teenager pussy is theirs. Seems there’s a lot of those around in this timeline… mostly in the age bracket about 15-20 years older than me (I’m mid 40s) where I live, which makes it my turn (as it always fuckin was) to call them out.

Only this time I’m a dad of teenagers, and I’ve practised martial arts and being very firm with my words (when necessary) in my working life for decades.

Turns out these “men” are absolute cowards and the best action so far is seemingly to do almost nothing, as they preemptively out themselves by protesting too hard to completely uninvolved people in our local community. We shall see.

Anyway that’s been my year this year, helping my aunty-friend escape from one such shitty relationship full of lies and deception. So I’m particularly sensitive about this topic at the moment.

Glad to hear I totally didn’t get the context of the meme!

Right, time to touch grass. Cheers!

Names like that are not common here.

Besides their real family name is “Saxe-Coburg and Gotha” but it was changed to Windsor in 1917 due to WW1 resentment towards the Germans.

At least we got the following joke in (famous British TV series) Blackadder:

“Look, I’m as British as Queen Victoria!”

“So your father’s German, you’re half-German and you married a German?!”

Particularly as we’re probably planning to prosecute him ourselves in Britain. It’ll take a while but people here are pissed off that the “punishment” so far is to be stripped of some bullshit titles and get to live as an immensely wealthy member of the public. He’s going to prison because wealthy pedos are universally detested here and he can’t become president in order to dodge prosecution.

I was thinking that it was coming from a place of Linux “dudes by default” and hadn’t clocked that it’s apparently a Linux/trans meme.
