  Why are there still 10s of any users on that hellwash of a platform?

  White Castle was — until that movie — largely unknown in many areas of the U.S. So yes, until the scene in which they finally reach White Castle, I held out hope that it would indeed be worth the trip.

  The fact that it was, well, just a White Castle made it wholly relatable to anyone who ever had those late-night cravings, though.

  Not quite over, but the chances of establishing a majority large enough to effect change are fairly overwhelming. The U.S. needs a pretty big education campaign to teach folks how democracy is actually SUPPOSED to work, but those in power certainly won’t be the ones to initiate it.

  You are right in that’s not how democracy works. Unfortunately, due to gerrymandering and Citizens United, it’s how the U.S.’s bastardized version of it “works.” Thanks to gerrymandering in my state (which is a test bed for much of the nonsense we’re now seeing at the federal level), I have absolutely no voice in our state legislature, which has recently decided to neuter the other two (actually democratically elected) branches of government here.

  The U.S. government does not speak for the majority of its citizens. It speaks for one man and his handlers.

  I recently deleted my active, 16-year-old, account after being told I was inciting violence simply by commenting that a particular GOP senator had himself to blame for an issue he was trying to pin on others.

  Be real careful. We thought we were turning the corner a few years ago, too. Seems so long ago.

  Krita is very, very good indeed. It deserves all the praise it gets.

  Biden has never worn his pants up to his throat vagina, though.

  The problem is the tech is no longer addressing and solving existing problems. It is only being inserted into working systems to collect data and fees, breaking the processes.
