TIL I’m a koala! I also feel mentally harmed if I have to deal with people all day, instead of sleeping 20 hours a day.

…or, maybe I’m just depressed?

You eliminated the parts that explain why it’s being banned. Why can’t I snuggle the koalas???

Oh, I wasn’t accusing you of lying. I was just saying it’s such a strange name for a charge that has a legitimate purpose, but is named in a way that has nothing to do with that purpose.

Kinda like if you took an uber, and they charged you for the “poopy diaper charge”. And you say nobody on your trip even wore a diaper. So the driver tells you it’s so he can refill his gas in the car.

What a strange name if thats the purpose.

Its amazing how the colonists were basically just “Lets be Englishmen…but over there instead. And we’ll do all the same stuff, but also totally different.”

And John Adams said “Will there be alchohol?”

And then George Washington said “One day we’ll even name a beer after you.”

Then Benjamin Franklin went off to France to get laid a whole bunch. It was pretty easy to get laid in France in the 1770s if you just showed up, and said you’re leading a revolution against the British, and overthrowing monarchy power. Just tons of pusspuss and fine wine to go around.

…what were we talking about?

My favorite one is when half my brain was thinking I was hungry, and my mouth was asking my friend if he wanted to drive to the baseball game, or use public transportation.

What came out of my mouth was “Do you want to drive the hot dog to the game? Or should we take the bus?”

My friend looked at me like a confused puppy tilting their head hoping to see things from a new perspective. Finally he just blurts out “Do you think I have access to the Oscar-Meyer Weinermobile???”

Me, not realizing I said “hot dog” instead of “jeep” was quite confused. So I had no idea why he was bringing up the Oscar-Mayer Weinermobile, just asked “…wha…do you? DO you have access to the Oscar-Meyer Weinermobile?”

“NO!!!”

“Then why’d you bring it up?”

Oops. I meant to type conservatives, but, my fingers typed progressives. Just like last week when I meant to type “got him” and my fingers typed “gotton” which isn’t a word.

And progressives conservatived will say “We’re wasting all that money giving it to Ukraine”, not realizing we’re not giving Ukraine straight cash. We’re giving them American manufactured weapons and ammunition. In the begining it was just giving them old leftover backstock to clear out warehouses.

By now I’m sure those have been depleated, and now we’re giving Ukraine weapons and ammunition based on government contracts, that progressives conservatives were the ones that decades ago advocated for.

So America basically just gave American companies 2.3bn in cash, to produce weapons and ammunition, and then gave those weapons and ammunition to Ukraine.

Now, if those progressives conservatives DON’T want us to do that, we’ll STOP giving money to the American war machine, and the next time we’re at war, we’ll be behind in tech. All in an effort to lower taxes for billionaires who wouldn’t even notice.

Edit: oopsie! I typed “progressives” when I was thinking of “conservatives”. It’s hot, I’m gonna blame it on my brain being fried.

Soooooo, either he should get the money, as the victim, or the charge is basically police charging victims money for being victims.

…I feel like I’m missing something here.

Your first sentence was right. This ISN’T democrat vs republican issue.

But the rest of your message is straight hot garbage.

This is a “united states as it always has operated, republican or democrat, or other parties that existed in the past” vs “united states becoming facist” issue.

What about if the president wants to be a naughty boy, but doesn’t want any of those pesky consequences?

I’m not worried about it from now until January. And in November I’ll know if I need to worry in January, or in 2029.

But it IS worrying that at some point we’ll have a republican president, trump or otherwise, and then all bets are off.

victim surcharge of £154.

WHAT VICTIM??? The article says nothing of him doing anything to others. To my knowledge he didn’t attack anyone. There’s no victim!

In the UK?

I know what Lemmy.ml is, but I don’t know what Lemmygrad is. It sounds like if Lemmy were a cold war era city in the soviet union.

…how? Most of the time when they say fucked up dumb shit, I can follow the logic to point out why it’s flawed logic.

This logic is so dumb I don’t even get how they expect it to work.

Especially when their dad doesn’t even love them.

“Donald Trump Jr claims…”

Sorry, I stopped paying attention. But also, I’m not sorry.

There’s this british band, that dabble in many different styles. Not many people heard of them. Probably because they haven’t released any new music in a while, and it feels like they haven’t toured in FOREVER!!!

But it’s this little niche band, called The Beatles.

I forgot about that. That was…a start.
