dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Don't do Amtrak dirty like that. They've been trying so hard, even though Congress keeps neglecting the fuck out of them

At the end of the day, though, it shouldn't be up to a private company to keep up a country's rail system.

Not saying you're saying that, but we should still see it as a terrible sign.

dont you understand? it would be COMMUNISM not to make everyone drive in their metal box whose safety, comfort, and efficiency are entirely dependent on how much you can pay and which must be a core part of your consumer identity. Also, if you want, you can buy a metal box that is big and heavy enough to kill anyone and anything you hit with it in a collision.

I want to die the way I lived. Driving my car to work in the morning.

I think if Sir Elon buys Amtrak and renames it to Amdoge, give each passenger their own personal carriage to control, and make the speed limit be either 69 MPH or 420 MPH, then it would generate a profit and more people would want to ride it
