Barry Goldwater, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Newt Gingerich, Mitch McConnell, and now Trump (and arguably many others along the way) have been choosing self over country and intentionally breaking safeguards for longer than most of us on Lemmy have been alive. It's indirect violence. But it's violence regardless. And they've gotten away with it so far.

Cardi B was terrible when she was poor too. Used to legit fuck dudes and then rob them.

Neither are my parents

LOL guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Remember when they complained about gratuitous violence too?

Yeah me neither. They just bitch about the fun stuff.

Most people liked Katy Perry and the shark costume. That's the only one that comes to mind. No clue how long ago that was, and maybe a bunch of people were mad about that one too.

You seem to not understand the deterrent effect of being the target of a murder while somehow fully understanding the deterrent effect of being the target of a murder trial.

I'm having a hard time interpreting that position as anything but a bad faith argument.

Luigi's supporters want to make an example out of Thompson so the next suit that fills his role thinks twice before choosing profit over healthcare.

If the legal consequences are minimal, then it encourages future actions by others or at least supports the semi-unspoken threat that it is likely to happen again if the ruling class keeps fucking around.

Same. Also. Now I'm hungry.

We have many options for people who just want to drink a bunch of cheap beer. Bud Light, Miller Light, Coors Light, Natural Light, Milwaukee's Best Light, the list goes on. Most agree the stuff you can buy in a 24 pack at Walmart isn't good quality beer.

But places like Dogfish Head, Ardent, Foothills, Bell's, Cigar City, Oskar Blues, Three Notched, Flying Dog, Elysian, Anchor, Lagunitas and many others produce some great beers.

My cousin said the exact same thing.

They don't know shit, but they still vote with such confidence. It's maddening.

A little bit yeah. Really just all food is a lot more expensive.

I used to not have to check my bank account. Now my savings account is slowly shrinking. And it's almost entirely because of the cost of food.

Inflation sent me from adding to savings each month to pulling from it instead. Just hope my wife or I get a decent promotion before the savings run out I guess.
