On the one hand that’s super fair, and I totally understand that. The fact that I’m open to this prospect isn’t me saying that the government shutting down is a good thing unto itself in the same way that being open to chemotherapy as a treatment for cancer isn’t me saying that cytotoxins rule and I love how they make my body feel.
Another Trump term means a bare minimum of four years where not only is actually important government work not getting done, but its efforts are actively redirected toward harmful ends. (And as we’ve seen from his fascist rhetoric, this likely ends up being much more than four years; even if he does leave office at the end of that term, the US government would spend decades recovering from his fuckery.) The GOP shooting themselves in the foot by making it more likely to get Harris into office and make Congress bluer than it would’ve been would mean that whatever issues the government shutdown would create would be vastly outweighed by the benefits of a functioning government and the avoidance of a second Trump term. It’s not a guarantee, but Harris really needs all the help she can get right now, as this race is still too close for comfort.
Yeah, uBlock Origin not working would take me from liking YouTube a fair bit to making it unusable.
YouTube is far and away the biggest means by which I interact with Google, and that falls off a cliff if I’m forced to interact with a mess of their ridiculously shitty ads every time I have to use it. uBO has likely saved hundreds of hours of watching ads over my lifetime (and probably thousands of dollars from not being subconsciously influenced by ads), and I’m not paying a subscription fee to such an unethical company to get rid of the ads. This would bring me from YouTube as a timewaster to YouTube only as strictly necessary. Even though I don’t support them directly through ads, I do support them by supporting creators I like monetarily, by sharing links and maintaining the network effect, and by giving them plenty of metadata by interacting with their service. If they do this, they ensure that I continue to monetarily support competitors like Nebula and permanently lose a grip they’ve had on me since I was a kid.
For once, I’m begging the GOP to shut down the government. God that would be so fucking funny if they sealed the deal for Harris.
Robot clearly never watched the ending of Fallout 3 about letting the humans do it instead.
Oh, what’s that watermark at the bottom right? Oh, the site whose bread and butter is unsubstantiated, pseudoscientific conspiracy theories? Wow, I’m so surprised. I guess astrophysics journals aren’t credible now either because some shitty flat Earth website says they’re all secretly controlled by NASA.
Can confirm that /c/vegan officially endorses the Trump/Vance ticket.
Hi, MBFC bot, you forgot to account for the fact that this is a wire story from the Agence France-Presse, one of the best, most credible news agencies in the world. As usual, you’re less than worthless.
When people ask me why we put so much money into space research, I’ll point out that cosmologists might find a way to treat Laura Loomer’s bipolar if they ever find where all the missing lithium went.
The phone only had a concept of a data plan, though, so it didn’t work.
Ayy 🏳️⚧️⚕️👽⛓️ lmao
He’s going to hurt your pocketbook*
Let’s be real here.
“I was totally going to ace that test until the crooked, very unfair professor told me I couldn’t look at my neighbor’s answer sheet.”
MBFC calls both The Guardian and Breitbart “MIXED” in their factual accuracy. For Breitbart? It’s because they’re an alt-right disinformation factory which as a policy denies fundamental and provably true scientific facts like climate change, spreads baseless, trivially disproven conspiratorial nonsense, and intentionally misleads readers left and right. For The Guardian? Well they’ve failed five fact checks in the last five years, and these fact checks are as robust as, umm…
“Private renting is making millions of people ill.”
“Private renting is making millions of people ill, but maybe this happens with other housing situations too, we don’t know, so we rate this as false.”
MBFC is a joke, and this bot is a pathetic sham.

Is there such a community here? Maybe you could start one.
“Air Canada believes there is still time to reach an agreement with our pilot group, provided ALPA moderates its wage demands which far exceed average Canadian wage increases,” CEO Michael Rousseau said on Monday.
Petulant little bitch who’s getting their airline shut down says what?
I blame both, much in the same way that I’d blame a quack doctor and parents bringing their kids to the quack doctor.
Yeah, I was gonna say, Gen IX Pokémon looks like some of the clunkiest, most repetitive shit imaginable.
