Your example hinges on the implication that 100 America Street (ie the Republican Party) is stable and unable to cause further harm. In reality, 100 America Street is a blazing inferno, has billionaires in white hoods tossing cans of gasoline at it, and houses tons of high explosives that will absolutely level the entire neighborhood if/when it goes off.

Ignoring 100 to piss on 102 is only going to make a bad situation much, much, much worse. And at this point in time, one can't help but wonder whether anyone distracting from 100 America Street is doing so out of ignorance or malice.

But the first step is Dem voters having higher standards than "not a Republican".

The prerequisite to that is to dismantle the NRA and purge the Republican party from power by vote or by force so they can't ever back another Hitler wannabe again. Then we can talk policy.

Texas state government attempts to annex Mexico out of nowhere, fails miserably, and is subsequently taken back by mexico.

They can have it if they want it

Nope, a hundred miles apart

I have a day job that pays the bills (many of us do) because the only money in art is money laundering, but I do perform fairly often, and occasionally produce. Of course it varies on the season, some months are slow for everyone. My day job is a grind.

Also how was the bifurcation process?

Painful

I'm a sideshow circus performer. My specialty is fire performance, but I have other talents as well as a split tongue. My friends are the kinda people who like to swing from meat hooks and swallow swords. Freak show type stuff. We do it live on stage.

Unsurprisingly, I've also performed in haunted houses.

As a horror performer who sees (and does) absolutely horrifying shit on a normal basis, fuck this shit in particular

tiefling , to Ask Lemmy in What's the last thing you bounced back from?

Got severe food poisoning and ended up in the ER after eating a tainted wrap from a deli

This was the second time

tiefling , (edited ) to Ask Lemmy in How far in advance do you usually plan vacations?

I planned my end of July weekend vacation around February. We have a senior dog who needs special attention, so it's often hard to find someone to watch her.

tiefling , to General Discussion in Any lemmies that are politically neutral?

You repeating "I don't hate them" over and over while at the same time attacking trans people at their core sounds a lot like you're either in denial, or you're aware that your position is an unpopular one. Either way, it sounds like you need to do some self discovery.

That's like, 90% of it

Kinda the same in the US. I'm literally a circus performer in NY. You know what capitalists hate more than anything else? Weird circus people with more passion than money who embrace diversity and deviants

In my corner, a massive corporation is trying to get approval to build a casino on historic Coney Island. The company (Thor Equities) previously bought two disjoint historical blocks and let the buildings rot until they had to be demolished for safety reasons. Their plan has them taking over two more and engulfing our historic theater, a Sideshow museum, bumper cars, and a small music venue. Our theater is also home to the nonprofit that hosts all the cool events there. None of it matters to capitalists.

tiefling , to Ask Lemmy in Older women, women with weight changes or visible disabilities, or transfolk of Lemmy - how has the male gaze changed for you?

Probably around 2 years in or so. It's not a light switch, it's more like a dimmer.

I'm a trans woman, have been transitioning for 10 years. It's really hit or miss whether or not people can clock me. I've had friends know me for two years without knowing I was trans.

Men ogle and catcall me frequently, it's annoying as fuck since I'm not even straight. It's flattering when queer women hit on me though. I've been both catcalled and misgendered within the same block. I also tend to have a strong social presence which is both a blessing and a curse.

Also, men cannot take no as an answer. I often pretend I have a boyfriend since creeps are more respectful of imaginary men than real women.
