Well, that sucks. Whether you've got a new vacuum to show off, a big loss to mourn, or simply encounter an inconvenience, put it here.

I hate that this meme and dog has become associated with crypto, Elon Musk and Republicans.

Digital cultural appropriation

[–] [email protected] 60 points 2 months ago

First they came for Pepe, but I didn't speak up cause I didn't post Pepe memes. Then they came for Twitter. But I didn't speak up cause I wasn't on Twitter. Then they came for my Doge, but there was no one left to speak for me.

Or some more smart joke like that.

Shiba Inus don't deserve to be associated with fascism.

We've come a long way since dogetipbot :( those were good times

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (6 children)

Heh. I found a comment that someone tipped me with that long long ago. It was worth less than half a cent at the time.

Still had it. Sold for $90 iirc a couple years back. Only crypto profit I ever had lol

Bro I don't even want to think about how much I had sitting on a wallet that's now in a landfill

Just the inevitable transition from the corporate oligarchy of late stage capitalism, to state-capitalist fascist dictatorship.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Not quite, Capitalism has long since turned to its Imperialist phase, but this is the long and drawn out death of the system. The US has been fascist for a long while.

I refused to believe it was real. It's real.

Jesus we're a joke

I’m planning on bringing this department up for discussion any time I talk with a ‘true conservative’ Republican.

Please explain how the best way to improve government efficiency is to establish and staff a new department and give it two leaders.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I forgot the name, but supposedly there's a department that essentially already exists that serves this function so it's extra stupid.

I mean the whole thing is stupid but your question isn't very hard to answer for them.

"DOGE will cut out more money and bureaucracy than it creates"

And it may well! But what they're gonna cut is the shit that's actually good for people...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Apparently Ramaswamy is bailing on DOGE to run for governor in Ohio, leaving Eldolf Muskler all by himself (which I'm not sure what's worse).

I think musk is getting off on the new throne from which to infuriate the wokerati. He's trolling. I suspect that this won't rate a blip on the list of shitte things this dept does.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Nothing more efficient than creating an entire quasi governmental branch of bureaucracy to oversee the bureaucracy

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The main whitehouse.gov site removed the Constitution page from it.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Constitution? Where we're going we don't need constitutions?

So much worse but also better to not shitstain the doggo

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

Gross, AI gen artwork

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

I guess using stolen AI slop for a logo is efficient

The level of cringe, I don't know if the world can handle it.

Have you seen the Spanish version?

https://www.whitehouse.gov/es/

Edit: nevermind they "fixed" it, it used to say Go Home

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Holy shit. Did you grab a screenshot before they changed it?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

It appears that, before they completely removed the Spanish translation the "Go to home page" button might have been still Spanish and read "Vete a casa"

I dunno if it's intentional or true but it would've been very on the fucking nose.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Joder.

“Go home” is even worse than

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not that I don't believe you, but I checked archive.org and unfortunately it's not there so hopefully you screen capped it. For me right now it just gives a 404

Genuinely embarrassed to be American.

[–] lena 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

How did they get this approved

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 months ago

They don’t need anyone’s approval. They’re in charge. This is a flex.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

Americas citizens voted them into the highest office in the land (either directly or passively).

There is no more 'get this approved'; just 'this is what I've decided, deal with it'.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So ironic. The site does nothing. There's nothing to click on. or any plans/goals. I don't get the joke.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

The efficiency is in being an ad for dogecoin on a site paid for by taxpayers!

They say history repeats itself but I don't remember hearing about Nero throwing gas on the fire between songs.
