You sound like MAGA to me.


That is the joke, yes. It's a thin allegory about MAGA support for things that they were supposedly against, now that their candidate is doing them.

Interestingly, I think that article came out before the attack on Venezuela, which would be the most literal "blowing up". The actual attack kinda steps on the joke.


Bombing a country and kidnapping their president is a declaration of war (constitutionally an exclusively congressional action).

Running another country.... We can't run our own.

Allowing oil companies, "to be involved in" Venezuelan oil is theft.

You can justify this however you'd like, it is still wrong


Multiple 100 megapixel images from Nunavut and Nunavik, Canada. I have the prints, just not the source. Bummer


Looking forward to EU, Britain and Canada barring a multitude of current US administration


You may have to wait indefinitely. The EU, Britain and Canada do the the same thing to their own citizens when it suits them.

Canada is memorable for freezing the bank accounts of truckers who objected to Covid vaccinations.

With Britain you can look up the case of Nigel Farage who got debanked.

In the case of the EU here are few interesting ones.

I've seen America's slowing over the last few decades and expected it to continue. I did not expect the rate to 10x because of a few people. Wow. Not a great time to be an American


I've self hosted my email on DO for over 10 years on the same IP address. I am registered with Gmail so they don't block. I sometimes get blocked by major sites from whom I receive spam. I am not a fan of group punishment which is what you advocate.


Sounds a bit like Portland IRL.


Based on … Fox News?


Yes, my wife left a school because it was being run by a drunk woman; I did not accept a job at a _defense_ contractor (Lockheed)because they could not assure me my work would only be for defensive efforts


Isn't defence just a euphemism for war? I don't think many people assume they actually mean strict defensive efforts when countries talk about Defence Forces etc.


Sometimes, war happens to you even if you don't want it. Having no defenses doesn't mean you and your family are safe.


That's kind of weird. Everyone knows the best defense is a good offense...

Is this an, "Accept apartheid or death" question?


Continued working with my team to grow my granddaughter who at 15 months handles a spoon and fork to feed herself at each meal; drinks from a cup without assistance; can clean her face and understand everything she is told or asked (though sometimes with a devious smile makes what an adult might consider a poor choice.... She is testing her boundaries like she is supposed to do). I have learned how to and produced 6 different embroidery patterns on various pieces of infant clothing. I combined multiple web based directions to create a Wi-Fi enabled USB (from a raspberry pi W 2) to enable a link from my computer to my embroidery machine. I made cookies and shared them with others creating a lot of joy I'm visiting with my grandson in another state, modeling good parenting and offering help where I can.


Good job! You sound like a great grand parent and your grand child sounds like they're doing really well too.

No, this is what Actual Life looks like once you get past 30.


> No, this is what Actual Life looks like once you get past 30.

This made me chuckle.


GP inserted single new lines instead of double ones.


An absolute word salad. Dead internet theory


"being a grand dad"

is his answer. and he colored it. it's not that deep so as to upset you. darklake just practicing his creative writing.


Colored it a corporate beige.

Who the heck is so brain broken as to talk about their grandchild as a startup project and their family as a frigging team.

I have to almost need to see this as AI in order to maintain sanity because there’s no way an actual human being talked about a child—their human grandchild like he was a product.


You’re calling someone “brain broken” for writing a comment in a cute manner to make it sound like product development. It’s time to take a step back and relax.


It's clearly a joke. You've never heard people make corporate inspired comments about normal activities? Never had friends talk about sending them a calendar invite for dinner?


I don't talk about spending time with my children, friends, and family like they're a job, no.

Is it that much work in your mind to be social with the people you care about or are you just unable to drop the corpo think at home?


you're telling on yourself, highlighting that you're so humorless that you couldn't tell it was an intentional parody of corporate double speak, contrasting one of the most human experiences with one of the least human. It's ironic that you tried to call him brain broken lol


You're telling on yourself by admitting to, apparently, not considering that I COULD tell it was intentional parody, found the ironic humor in it, and STILL found it tasteless enough to call them out for talking about a child like they're a product.


Her answer - the poster can be female.


At first I thought it was meant to be funny but yeah, this has to be some AI slop surely.


Nah, no shade on the poster but AI slop would be better written, more saccharine and emphatic. You have to provide an AI generator very specific writing style prompts to come up with the same thing.
