They really are. A few months ago it had some complainers about the sub being too "political" and then someone posted an Instagram post where Tim Robinson said "Fuck ICE" and the mood of the sub turned entirely to "fuck ICE/fuck MAGA."

It really is surprising people wouldn't know Robinson's politics leaned left after Detroiters.

I suppose you could add a loose rule to label a new boot post [New Boot Goofin]. Don't be harsh on it, but just a suggestion type rule? I'm not sure if Lemmy has actual "flair" options or not.

I feel like "New Boot Goofin" should be a required flair for posting new boots.

They had Ezra Klein out there glazing Charlie Kirk so I'm sure they'll have him glazing Trump's accomplishments soon.

When the pants shitting monkeys running America start nuking the fuck out of the rest of the planet indiscriminately, you might wish you had cared more about what was going on with those stupid fucks.

Since it seems you're asking a question in good faith I'll try to answer. I'm not the person you replied to but here...

I think the main thing that has changed is the disappearance of Elon Musk. Last time around there was what I consider to be valid concern that Musk would pay his flunkies out of pocket to keep working and tearing apart the Federal government during the shutdown. With most Federal employees going home during a shutdown, it would leave very few at the helm to be able to stop DOGE in their iteration at the time. Musk was making hay at the time of how they could do things on weekends because no one was there to stop them, and it was very reasonable to consider that he would personally pay his flunkies to tear shit apart while people were furloughed during a shutdown. As frustrating as it was, and as much as I fucking loathe the likes of Chuck Schumer and his corporate cock sucking ilk, I personally did see Musk as a legitimate threat if the shutdown occurred last time around. Musk is gone and there is no one to pay DOGE employees to keep working while everyone else goes home, so it stands to reason that you might actually maybe get these old chucklefucks on board for doing something right for once. Not making any promises, though, as I agree with another poster that characterized Schumer as a last minute pants pisser.

Google in the pocket of extremists and helping them wipe their sordid history from the internet.

Sexual repression do be like that.

I always knew the tactics of the US War On Terror would come home to roost. I'm honestly surprised it took as long as it did for it to happen. Anyway, this reeks of the same justifications they used to go to war in Iraq and their justifications for "extraordinary rendition" as well as "enhanced interrogation." No evidence, just vague justifications for what they need to do to "keep America safe." Saddam Hussein never had WMDs and the left isn't a terrorism network. They'll falsify evidence just like they did with Iraq and Saddam.

The good ol' imperial boomerang.

The future of the US.

He deserves it all if only for his masterwork in the criminally underrated Kind Hearts and Coronets.

He was an asshole before that though.

I am very likely to be one of those deaths when the Medicaid rules change on January 1st, 2027.

Washington state minimum wage is pretty high and increases based on cost of living every year. The income cutoff for Medicaid is pretty low.

I will have to be working at least 20 hours a week in 2027, and there's a significant chance that in doing so I will end up making more than the Medicaid limit and be forced to pay for health insurance that won't cover nearly as much of the $18k a month without insurance meds that I very likely may have to take for the rest of my life to stay alive.

To not have to do this I would need to give up working and apply for disability. Even though I have cancer I would need legal disability status to avoid the work requirements since I don't have children. Even though I am in my forties I am considered one of those "able bodied young men abusing Medicaid to stay home playing video games."

It's fucking sickening and I am furious about it.

Someone else reported that it's still on Paramount+. This seems much ado about nothing so far.

Man, I forgot all about their incredibly shitty take on safe spaces.

Then it hasn't actually been pulled.

Not enough love for the rich flavor of vanilla out there. Very sweet to grow your own.

Is there any evidence that it's gone from the Paramount+ site as well as their own website?

There's also always bittorrent. Most of the other episodes that have been pulled were over their depictions of the prophet Muhammad.

I wonder if things are about to change and we will see those episodes re-instated. You know, for Charlie, it's what he would have wanted.
