this is usually the case anywhere in the US I feel like. I’ve lived multiple states and had it happen

“i don’t want to hear about politics even though it will affect 100% of my life somehow” lmao

that’s wild if i had a screenshot of myself being (nicely) dumped by a chatbot I would not post that shit online for everyone to mock

where the fuck is my ass then

“I want to do a bunch of extrajudicial killings but god I could really use a sensei who can teach me and the country run by bloodthirsty career war criminals how to do this…”

“Mr. Trump I heard you are looking for a sensei…I have a proposal for you. Send your best team to kidnap me and my wife from Venezuela, think of it as a test to see how prepared your subordinates really are to carry out extrajudicial affairs…once I arrive in the United States, your training will begin.”

how the average liberal mind works I guess

make that into a hexagon emoji that looks decent i dare you i tried

Actually I do think Saturn is the worst one out of the set despite having a literal hexagon in its atmosphere. I wanted the rings visible and WAS gonna try for a top-view for the hex but none of the images I could find worked ideally with a hexagonal crop

you have inspired me i will be submitting this next

Earth was the last one I did and I actually had to take a minute to make a choice between the Western Hemisphere (which is what pops up first if you look on Wikimedia or like NASA’s image search for ‘Earth’) and the Eastern Hemisphere and part of me went “I will get dogpiled for being an American treatlerite if I dare even consider uploading an emoji that prominently has North America displayed…plus the majority of the world’s population is contained within the other hemisphere…” and immediately downloaded the png of the Eastern Hemisphere.

2mb is what the overlords get since they asked for the source image and I had to crop some giant ass 4500x4500 hubble image

I’m getting rate limited by the fascist Hexbear servers they don’t want me posting the rest of the Hex Solar System so quickly

don’t ask me how long it took me to realize we do not have an earth emote, i swear we had one that was like sister to

"Wait, it’s just sanctions all the way down?"

anti-megathread action!!! if you are for the megathreads, you’re against me

we can have our own polycule of twinks only

Klippenstein is a journalist not a substack author. I was talking more like Matt Taibbi, Matthew Yglesias, et al. Neither of whom are anywhere close to being ‘leftist’, mainly because they already had brainworms long before it was a thing, but the platform itself certainly doesn’t help. Case in point: the msot popular political/journalism substack is Bari Weiss’

i think we’ve all collectively just gotta stop giving these dumb Breadtube fucks the attention they crave. My quality of life is vastly improved anytime I haven’t recently thought about any dumbass cracker Breadtuber. This goes for 99% of them and I’ll even lump in streamers (Hasan), social media personalities (pick your favorite ‘leftist’ on twitter or tiktok), and every substack author in with them.

Goes against the spirit of the comm but I prefer my slop to at least be novel and not attention seeking. Place your bets now on when she will inevitably either deactivate her account again within a week or otherwise just double down on whatever dumbass reactionary bullshit she’s trying to peddle.

23,958 Paid members on Patreon by the way. Assuming all 24,000 of those paid members is only shelling out $2.00/month for the cheapest membership tier Natalie offers, that’s $47,916/month, which is like 8k more than I make a year after taxes. $574k/year. If we assume half of those 24,000 pay $5/month for Contrapoint’s ‘outtakes’ and ‘behind the scenes’ videos, that’s $59,485/month or $718k/year. If you assume the other half of those 24,000 are still cheap bastards paying $2/month, that’s still $23,985/month or $287k/year - which means, if we’re being realistic - Natalie Wynn probably pulls close to a million dollars a year before taxes for…posting shit takes on twitter occasionally.

She’s on my Cask of Amontillado list.
