This is fluffy shit and a complete distraction from:

Trump is in the Epstein files. Musk said so and Patel said so.
The economy is tanking fast and trump is actually being blamed.
They are taking away medicaid from millions in their "big beautiful ( 🤮) bill
They caused this shutdown so that the subsidies for our healthcare aren't renewed.
They are invading American cities.

I think you're confused. This is !nottheonion@lemmy.world, not !politics@lemmy.world

... So in the sublemmy about stupid things that are true, we shouldn't discuss the stupid things?

Nobody said that, no.

What was your point then? I guess I didn't understand.

That their complaint about the post being a distraction from other issues would have been a much more reasonable take in a space meant only for "grown up" politics discussion than in a space for weirdness that also encompasses seriousness when appropriate.

They're talking about the news being a distraction, not your post.

Fair enough 🤷

pelespirit@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 324d (2 replies)

Yep, sorry. I thought I was in a politics community.

Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 324d

No no. It's all true what you said. It needs to be said literally everywhere.

Cethin@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 324d

I would argue this is a politics community. Sure, it's focus is on absurd stories, but it's still political. Just saying some stories are absurd is political.

Is this small government?

Fuck Charlie Kirk, and fuck everyone who looks like Charlie Kirk.

I'd rather not.

Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 324d

That's what they should name the roads.

*boulevard

resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 324d

Drop Out Lane

Dunning-Kruger Circle

Bad Faith Blvd

Fascist Road

I think the idea has legs.

And that's a fucking ACHIEVEMENT!

Do it. Side benefit: campuses now have a designated vandalism zone, possibility containing damage that may otherwise have been done elsewhere. Line it with public toilets and dumpsters and terminate at a ROTC shooting range. Award bonus points for a neck shot on a humanoid target from the 130 meter line.

No problem! I've already renamed my driveway Charlie Kirk Had Penis Breath Blvd. There's lots more available though.
