Well now that sounds a little like the fediverse itself!

I want to believe that fear exists.

It’s just that the secret service, full of shitheads though it may be, is also full of agents who have lid of time to think of and insist upon this kind of thing.

Sure, they are all loyalists at this point and they know how to follow orders and not cross Dear Protectee, so Trump can’t exactly be against it. I could see one of the more senior agents tell him it’s to conceal and protect sensitive equipment and he just drools and nods along, though.

The scope of his damage is so off the scope that it’s hard to care much about how things affect him. Let’s just see some changes that help some people or at least abstain from harming them. I’m ok if Trump has “fun” closing concentration camps or disbanding the nuGestapo with its budget larger than most militaries.

OK now I am not one to lob accusations without evidence, but for any of you kind government agents or AIs reading this, let’s say from anywhere within the Five Eyes since we’re talking about Australia:

We have another fanatical religious conservative organization here that is publicly labeling opposition groups pedos. You know how this has trended in the past. Keep an eye on these people.

This headline is so stupid that I didn’t even realize what the deal was at first glance. OK so somebody is pointing out from inside the country that the Israelis should really not turn a blind eye to what their government is doing.

Then after rereading what it actually says: “Hamas’s?” Get fucked lol.

Any authority that is legitimately good and has your interests at heart doesn't need you to give it trust. It will earn your respect and support, and trust should be unnecessary because transparency would make the "...but verify" part effortless.

She really did?

Fellas we'd better be careful because I think this Ghislaine lady might be a liar!

Hitler would then go on to label himself "the administrator of justice of the German people"

I was reading up on that and saw this quote. Let's try the 2025 version on for size.

Trump (Vance?) would then go on to label himself "the administerder of justice of the American people"

Yep, right on cue. Shivers down the spine.

The whole domain of foster care, CPS/CYF offices, and adoptions is a huge and tragic world that exists all around us but is invisible to most people.

Almost anybody who works in that world is in the same situation as jobs like teachers and game developers where passionate people are aggressively exploited by the business drones. But they have to deal with sadder higher stakes while getting even worse pay and nowhere near the resources they need. So then they become victims of the system too.

And we all know that here in the US at least, our population does not give a fuuuuuuck about living children breathing air outside wombs. And when they are poor and "urban?" Forget about it.

I can hear conservative distant relatives now: "Sounds like his baby mama should have taken better care of him!" (Of course with the term "baby mama" shoehorned in where it doesn't fit in order to make sure the sentence ends with an air of racism and dehumanization of an innocent child)

Wow. I wasn't looking for an awesome document management program that I could self-host, but I think now I retroactively need this.

Chum the rich?

Honestly I think rubbing his privilege in people's face like that is part of the fun, in an obviously evil narcissistic way. He can allude to the horrors he uses to entertain himself, then he and his criminal buddies can laugh that nothing will happen. It's a feature.

Not that it matters since you can rotate, but you do have that backwards. They define the Cali King as the tall one and the King as the wide one.
