Patents on software shouldn't exist!

YES! I used to work for the payment card industry. They're parasites! They serve no real purpose anymore in the age of the Internet. There's no reason for them to exist.

They're still charging transaction fees that were created in the time when everything had to be processed by hand.

Transaction fees should not exist!

Oh? Does he really want to set a legal precedent that a sitting president can undo the pardons of prior presidents?

Perhaps he's on to something! 🤣

Let's look at the logic here: If we don't expect troops to defy illegal orders, that means some commanding officer could order his troops to kill the president 🤔

That's illegal but... The Trump administration thinks orders should be followed no matter what.

It's easier to walk through the eye of a needle than convince religious people they're being scammed.

Linux users: "See what we mean?"

Windows users: "La la la! I can't hear you! Losing my data is clearly better than having to learn something new!"

support policies that promote childbearing.

...like making abortion legal in all 50 states again? Like comprehensive sex education in schools? Like treating women as people and not property?

The most effective way for the Southern Baptists to promote childbearing would be for them to stay the fuck out of politics!

Make no mistake: This is the world conservatives want! This is the desired outcome. This is their law. They were warned things like this would happen. They didn't care.

Reminder: The Bill of Rights applies to all persons living or residing in the United States. Whether or not you're a citizen is irrelevant. Green card, visa, no visa, etc doesn't matter.

Everyone gets freedom of speech in the US. Everyone.

This isn't as big a deal in South Korea as it is in the US... In the US they're bought with dollars but in SK they're won.

...and Happy 30th Birthday "New Technology" File System!

I wasn't expecting to be joining a LotR meme community when I started this journey but I must say it does feel like you are my people. Maybe some day we will draw swords together.
