The MAGAts are a bunch of weak willed, emotional snowflakes.

So connect 4, but he can’t count that high…
Imagine playing Connect 4, or any game for that matter, against him; halfway through the game he’d yell “STOP THE STEAL!!!”
Stop counting your points! Keep counting mine!
Connect 4 is still played in two dimensions tho…
That’s what THEY want you to think! Wake up sheeple!!!
I need this meme format. I am willing to invest $.
My b, here ya go.
Silly question for the lemmy brain trust: what happens when most people are priced out of commuting?
Seems like that would inadvertently bring about a general strike.
Unlikely. Lemmy is, like, 50% doomers who think everything in their lives is hanging by a thread at any moment and that everyone else is the same.
The reality is that even the doomers have far more slack in their lives and options for alternatives than they realize. People will tighten their belts, bike or take transit, carpool, start private transit businesses, move closer to work, get jobs closer to home, move in with family/roommates, etc.
Oh please. Don’t you see they always keep you squeezed just enough so the hopeless balance of inaction is protected?
Once again the American people have decided to/tacitly accepted to invade, murder and pillage another society far away. Once again many Americans will doom themselves to Hell, where they rightfully belong. And the only way to make a Burger oppose this new human tragedy is to tell him the gas prices are up, lol. I have to laugh not to cry at how ridiculously vicious and inhumane that is… but this IS America. 😔🤷
“I am quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think vainly, flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.” -John Brown
The war isn’t just with those in power, who as someone else pointed out are far beyond the reach of the average American, it’s with our neighbors and family members that support these leaders and policies. This administration is the fruit of a rotten tree, remove it without addressing the roots and it will just grow back in some new form, maybe next year, maybe next decade. Our elected officials that oppose this admin on paper do nothing with their power to stop it. Our courts either rubber stamp it or when they do rule against it get ignored because law enforcement is complicit.
A lone wolf might strike back here and there but such actions don’t make a difference because they are quickly neutralized, their targets are easily replaceable and elevated to martyrs.
Until the opposition has some semblance of unity, leadership, and the resolve to see through what is started to the brutal, bloody, bitter end; this is America. We’ll either keep telling ourselves “next election, next release of files, next court ruling, next protest will change this” and live under perpetual disappointment and tyranny (at home and abroad), or we’ll accept violence and gamble on which side has a better resolve. Gonna get real ugly once that Rubicon is crossed, and we all know it so that’s why nobody wants to be the first. Just ask true American hero John Brown.
Ok, so, what is your suggestion? The people who are directly perpetrating this war are hiding behind armed guards. Have you noticed that no rightwing politician in the US has done an interview outside since September 10th of last year?
It’s easy to sit at your keyboard and suggest people on the other side of the ocean fight and die for your conscience. It’s harder and more time consuming to build parallel systems to support those who are against the regime.
You probably think the media is telling you what’s happening over here, don’t you?
Wait. So the president do control gas prices? It’s so much different this time!
I hope gas goes up $10 a gallon. You oil dependent suckers.
Get a bike
Except then you’ll end up paying more for everything else too.
Good
A lot less good for my disabled ass but go off I guess.
I don’t know why you are getting down voted. It is a harsh reality that yeah cars suck, but if there is a near instant harsh transition away from cars that will directly harm the more susceptible groups like disabled, elderly, and very low income families far far worse than the people who are the actual problem. I feel for you and hope you do alright in this shitty future.
I want $15. Let’s price everyone out of commuting.
I wish it were that simple. Unfortunately we still get screwed even if we don’t drive, how else would food and supplies get delivered to shops? It’s all dependent on fossil fuels… Everything is going to be more expensive. I guess this is what Trump supporters think “owning the libs” is.
That assumes the market just sits still when oil prices rise. It doesn’t.
Yes, higher fuel prices can raise shipping costs in the short term. But they also create strong incentives to shift to cheaper alternatives. When oil becomes expensive, companies move freight to rail, electrify delivery fleets, source goods more locally, and invest in more efficient logistics. Higher oil prices don’t just make everything permanently expensive. They change the market.
Price pressure pushes businesses toward transportation methods that use less or no fossil fuel, which becomes more competitive over time.
Markets adapt. That’s how price signals work.
You get it
I just walk mostly
It kinda is / getting closer in Europe, people still drive a lot though… And my city has decent public transport.
Topped off the tanks yesterday. Since I mostly bike each tank lasts a month or more depending on how many times I have to shuttle kids.
I’d love for gas to go to $10 a gallon. I5 would be a ghost town. No traffic, save the environment (kind of). Oh yeah!
3D version of 52 pickup is more like it.
So throwing the cards down a set of stairs, or maybe into some dense bushes.
The thing is that it’s really just regular 52 pickup except that people are tricked into it by preposterous claims of it being “the best card game in history, maybe ever.”
The cost of filling 52 pick-ups would be astronomical!

“I DID FACT CHECK! IT SAYS ‘30 CHECKERS’ RIGHT THAR”
Someone showing me this meme as justification for their position, somehow

We need “Thanks sleepy Don” stickers on every gas pump stat!
Its on. I have one hundred A4 sticker sheets. To the gas pumps.
You can order the premade ones on aliexpress by the hundreds really cheap even with the illegal tariffs.
laughing from my desk job at a Fortune 500 O&G company
I kind of forgot about this angle. That rich libs in the middle classes are affected less than the lower classes that were duped. It’s all really shitty honestly.
That’s an ambitious perspective for a stick figure artist. I respect the effort.
Perhaps, but maybe he shouldn’t be using Skittles to play it.
Or human lives.
