Nazi Germany killed just over 400,000 americans, well Germany and Japan of course. Donald Trump is responsible for 1.5 million American deaths, 4 million disabled Americans any cost more than 10 million their jobs because he is an incompetent fool. This is as accurate as it comes. And terrorists, they’ve only killed about 10,000 americans, and only a little over 3,000 of them were from Islamic terrorists, the rest are domestic conservative terrorists.
I wouldn’t blame Trump for ALL 1.5 million COVID deaths, but he does deserve “credit” for hundreds of thousands of them, through the politicization of mask wearing, and deliberate spread of COVID-related misinformation. Everything Trump touches dies.
You know what fuck it, for every 1k (or 500 if low enough notes) I will read ONE chapter of homestuck on the official website. If you somehow get past that I will read ONE chapter of a fancomic for every 5k extra notes.
UPDATE: I will give you until thanksgiving day to reach the goal of 1k notes or more. Also, to clarify, I will be counting every subact but not subsubacts unless we have more thousands in the notes for subacts but not enough for a fancomic.
Protégé. Trump has made it quite clear that he is an admirer of Hitler. His advisors had made it clear to him NOT to make public statements about that.
« In a country defined by the ongoing existential battle over whether this will be a white nationalist society or a multiracial democracy, the majority of people reject the idea of making America white again.

Republicans will use every trick they know to suppress the non-MAGA vote. In addition to legal methods such as restricting voting hours and making absentee voting more difficult, they will work with their partners in Russia to spread disinformation to discourage moderate and liberal voters from casting ballots.
We need to do more grassroots work to get out the vote. There’s no substitute for person to person contact to identify potential supporters and to make sure they vote. And the earlier we get started, the better.
At the very least, we need to be certain that like-minded people are properly registered. We should not be reticent about asking others whether they’re registered.
Because voting is highly geographic, it’s necessary to remind people that they need to register at their new address after they move. Even if you move across the street, you need to register at THAT address. After you’ve reminded the people who have moved, follow up two weeks later to make sure they’ve done so.
If friends think that voting is important to you, they are more likely to vote when the time comes.

NO PRESIDENT would have been better than Trump. In other words, if the office had been left vacant from 2017-2021, our country would have been left better off.
You know the Grimm version of Snow White makes more sense than most versions if only because in that version Snow White was like 7 years old.
Like imagine you find a 7 year old in the woods and she’s like my mom is gonna kill me because I’m prettier than her and she’s not kidding. You know this queen is that sort of person. So you and your roommates adopt the kid and tell her don’t talk to strangers. And she keeps talking to strangers and getting poison combs stuck in her hair and whatnot.
Like yeah that’s kinda stupid but also she’s seven. She likes apples.
Also imagine it from the hunter’s perspective. The queen tells you this bitch is prettier than me I need you to take her out in the woods and kill her. And then you see who you’re supposed to kill and it’s a 2nd grader. Like how are you supposed to react to that sort of situation? Kill a human child? No. Because you’re not a brainless evil minion you’re just some guy dealing with a cartoonishly evil monarch. Of course you let her go.
Bad look for the Prince of course. Even if she did age while she was in that glass case. He saw a dead woman and just decided to keep her. And once she stopped being dead he was like we’re married now
He did cause the evil queen to dance to death in red hot shoes though. That was kinda cool.
With the acknowledgement that I’m grasping at straws, is it ever directly confirmed that the Prince wasn’t also 7?
See, I think that still works.
You are the guardsman assigned to protect the eight-year-old Prince. You are currently in the middle of the forest because he absolutely had his heart set on “going hunting”, and the royal second-grader should definitely not be traipsing around the woods on his own. You let him go a little on ahead and he comes running back talking about how there’s a dead girl in the clearing and there’s no-one else around and he wants to take her home because she’s really pretty, Hans, and she’s all alone!
You let him drag you to said clearing and okay, that is one angelic-looking dead child alright, and on the one hand the quality of her clothes and the craftsmanship on the coffin (who builds a see-through coffin?) speak to potential Consequences if you simply carry her off, but also for the amount of vines that have grown on the coffin she looks extraordinarily un-decayed, so you should probably get the court alchemist’s opinion on that, and there’s no way he’s going to come all the way out here in his embroidered velvet curly-shoes. And also this kid is technically assigned by God as your natural superior, or something.
So fine. You hoist the coffin onto your shoulder (it’s not like the Prince can do it. He’s eight.) and head back toward the castle, Prince chattering blithely all the way. And then you turn your ankle on a rock and suddenly there’s a thump and a cough and a lot of shouting from inside the coffin and you have now become a key player in a tense political incident with the next kingdom over.
You should probably ask for a raise.
We are in favor of just about any fairy tale ending with “you should probably ask for a raise.”
“if you’re not angry you’re not paying attention” used to be such a powerful phrase but now it’s more accurate to say “if you’re not angry you’re probably exhausted by 5+ years of Panic Outrage Mode and are nearing the limit of your emotional range for reacting to this shit”
DNI if you are into cordyceps fetish lmao it’s so fucking vile!!!! like literally so insensitive to the infected and their loved ones. it’s not something to fuck around with either!! you losers need to be magnifying glassed

In January and February I took you to Lappland for the first time. @brilliantyears and I like to spend part of the winter there and you loved it of course, after all you are a Finnish Lapphund.
Later in February and early March we were in the South of France and drove up the Atlantic coast to Carcassonne and La Rochelle.
We went to Norway and Sweden in summer and spend the long days hiking and meeting friends we hadn’t seen in a long time.
We spent time at both the German North Sea and Baltic coast and of course you braced every day life with me in Berlin.
I couldn’t have done it without you.
Thanks for being at my side. I love you my sweet girl ❤️
What animal is it? Why the great Canadian luncheon.
Do you have occasion? We have card.
Be bold your foot chariot.
ah yes
the prophesied flops flip
this takes me back. When I was little my autism swag was so huge that I used to ask my mom to buy as many no name objects as possible so that I could turn the shopping cart into a kind of yellow tetris
Stop doing everything. Don’t say anything or be anything. Get as small as you possibly can without disappearing. Don’t exist. Or keep existing, but differently than before.
Remember: criticism is the same thing as wholesale condemnation and also murder, so react accordingly.
Apologize, but don’t really mean it, and plant a seed of secret resentment so deep in your own heart that years later you can’t even remember that you’re the one who nurtured it and made it grow, it seems that much like a native part of you.
Sink into a hole so deep that no one can ever find you.
No. No. No. No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no NO. NO.
JUST DIE. JUST GET SICK AND DIE AND THEN YOU’LL FEEL TERRIBLE YOU EVER SAID THOSE THINGS BECAUSE I’LL BE DEAD AND YOU’LL BE SO SO SO SORRY AND YOU’LL WISH YOU COULD BRING ME BACK BUT YOU CAN’T.
Give up on all of your goals immediately.
Tell everyone you know about the criticism, but in a way that makes it clear that you expect them to publicly find it ridiculous and assure you there’s not a shred of truth to it. Do this repeatedly, first while sober, then later after several glasses of wine on a Wednesday afternoon when no one else is really drinking except for you. “Can you believe it?” Ask them that repeatedly. “Can you believe that? About me?” Ask until no one will meet your eyes.
Remember that life is a rich tapestry.
Become so rich and strong and tall that you’re a giant made out of gold and nobody can hurt you and everything you do is perfect and you can use your laser diamond eyes to melt the lungs of your enemies.
Dwell on it.
You can either be perfect or the biggest piece of shit who ever existed but not both, so if the criticism is right, you are the biggest piece of shit who ever existed. If it is not right, you are perfect and everyone else is wrong.
Fall in love with whoever criticized you. Don’t walk away until you’ve ruined their marriage.
Whisper their criticism every night to yourself until you have it memorized, word for word. Remember it forever. Have the words stitched into the shroud that covers your body before you’re lowered into the tomb so you and your criticism can embrace one another for eternity.
Do not rise above it. Never rise above anything. The sky is no place for a human.
Be sure not to separate the tone of the criticism from the content. If it was said ungracefully, it cannot be true. If it was said reasonably, it cannot be false.
Send an email explaining why you don’t deserve to be criticized, then another six emails after that, each one explaining the last, like a set of Russian nesting dolls that don’t think it’s your fault.
Set fire to something that was once beautiful.
Run into a cave and break your ankle so that people have to come find you and they see you lying at the bottom of this beautiful cave and maybe there’s a waterfall and the light from the crystals makes you look really beautiful and they say “Are you okay?” and you say “I think so” and they say “oh my God have you been here alone this whole time with a broken ankle” and you say “it’s okay” and they say “you’re so brave” and you are brave and you look so beautiful surrounded by cave crystals and everyone stands over you and says “oh wow” and “you poor beautiful thing” and “I’m so sorry we let you run into the cave but I’m so glad we found you” and let them carry you home and promise to be your best friends forever and that everything’s their fault and also they named the cave after you and you’re prettier than all of your enemies and your enemies all died of jealousy while you were in the cave.
Remember that there are only two kinds of people in the world: fans and haters. No true fan would ever express a criticism of you or your work; conversely no hater could ever seek to engage in a good-faith debate about something you said or did they disagree with. Dismiss everything everyone has to say about you.
Move away.
If it’s a close friend, say “Thank you for being so honest with me,” and then never talk to them again.
Do something with your feelings right away. It doesn’t matter what. Lash out, make a sculpture, whatever.
Log into YouTube and call someone “living Hitler” and “a waste of skin” until you feel better about yourself.
Remember, if someone doesn’t like your work, that means they don’t like you, and they wish that you had never been born, so just lay down in the road and die.

Protégé. Trump has made it quite clear that he is an admirer of Hitler. His advisors had made it clear to him NOT to make public statements about that.
I didn’t hear this mentioned on the (CBS) national news tonight (13NOV23).
WASHINGTON, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Donald Trump, if re-elected in 2024, would expand his first-term immigration crackdown to include sweeping roundups of people who would be held in large camps to await deportation, the New York Times reported on Saturday.
The report was based on interviews with several advisers, including Stephen Miller, who oversaw Trump’s first-term immigration policies, the Times said.
It described Trump’s plans as “an assault on immigration on a scale unseen in modern American history” and said it aimed to deport millions of people every year, including those who have been settled in the United States for decades. […]
It isn’t just authoritarian. It’s fascist. Say the word.
A new study has found that your car likely knows more about you than your mom. That is disconcerting, but what’s even more so is what is being done with your information. It’s all about the Benjamins. Our private information is being collected and sold.
The Mozilla Foundation, a non-profit that studies internet and privacy issues, studied 25 car manufacturers. And it found every manufacturer sold in America poses a greater risk to your privacy than any device, app or social media platform.
Our cars are rolling computers, many of which are connected to the internet collecting information about how you drive and where. New cars also have microphones and sensors that give you safety features like automatic braking and drowsy driver detection. Those systems are also providing information. Got GPS or satellite radio? Then your car likely knows your habits, musical and political preferences.
Did you download your car’s app which gives you access to even more features? Well that also gives your car access to your phone and all the information on it.
The study found that of the 25 car brands, 84% say they sell your personal data.
And what they collect is astounding.
One example the study sites is KIA’s privacy policy. It indicates the company collects information about your sexual activity. I initially didn’t believe it until I pulled KIA’s privacy policy and read it. And it’s right there in black and white. It says it collects information about your “ethnicity, religious, philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, sex life, or political opinions.
And it says it can keep your info for “as long as is necessary for the legitimate business purpose set out in this privacy notice.”
Translation: Nissan can keep your information as long as they want to. And more than half of the manufacturers (56%) say they will share your information with law enforcement if asked.

I think there’s just a contingent of people who think stuff on the internet should be Free and don’t understand that all these services exist on physical servers that someone ultimately has to pay rent and utility bills on.
And that’s not even getting in to the labor required to maintain them!
(1.) Everything seems to get more toxic. Every minor inconvenience online is now ornamented with death threats.
(2.) Corporations are governments. Besides the usual lobbying, the power that corporations have over our lives goes beyond legal and monetary. Corporations define culture, they adopt it, change it, and then bleed it dry. Wait for the next trend, co-opt it, repeat the cycle. Want to be offline? There’s an app for that.
(3.) If you were ever in doubt, corporations now define (i.e. limit) free speech. Your legal protections of what free speech is and isn’t is close to meaningless if you will not be given a platform.
Political allegiances of social network megacorps will therefore shape what content is available - what is allowed, what is shown/visible (shadowbanned), what is promoted, what is demonetized. Your opinions, more than ever, are up for sale to the highest bidder. Your mood is now a commodity too.
(4.) As Spotify showed, small creators don’t matter at all. For all they care, you can literally die. Literally. They don’t care. Their bottom line doesn’t depend on you in any meaningful way once enshittification is complete. They only needed you to monopolize the market and drive the competition into mergers or bankruptcy. You can starve, you can get an office job, you can give up on your dreams; what really matters is other corporate overlords and celebrities (Sony BMG, Sailor Twift etc).
(5.) Influencers are just temporarily glorified employees. The money well will dry up, the markets will consolidate. See points 3 and 4. They don’t care about you.
when I was a young kid I put on my dog’s collar because I thought it was funny and my dad told me to take it off because it was “a sex thing” and I knew nothing about sex except that it somehow involved dog collars until I was like 11. unsure how this affected my psychosexual development exactly but it definitely did something
Hey, so if you have Windows 11 installed and have been losing your mind over the fact that you can’t find your own files because Windows is now prioritizing internet search results first, you can fix it by following this guide:
As someone with over 900 GB of intentionally and properly named files on her computer (I do a lot of digital art and digital media work that requires high-volume files that function off of dependencies), this feature was making me furious. I followed the above instructions and can confirm that the method outlined solves the problem.
