Definitely fewer eels than that, comrade. Here's a screenshot. This store, town, and even zip code don't exist, setting aside all of the other obvious tells.
Post showing fake receipts from a fake store in a fake place for propaganda purposes, which is unnecessary because the truth is worse.

Probably. Just as likely that the format and imagery were ripped from other AI-generated stuff.
Basically the same image, but it's talking about "Global Warming. Two choices. one planet. choose wisely"

Sign says "Don't" - as in "Do not flip out!" rather than "Do not just flip out!" or "You should both flip out and . . ."

what a peculiar title for an article that appears to be about how you can change your personality by changing personality-wise
Screencap from the Atlantic's Facebook page for an article titled "Want to Change Your Personality? Have a Baby."  The text at the end of the Facebook post says "'Your personality might change not immediately after an event like childbirth, but through a long process that the event sets in motion. It’s not the cry you hear in the delivery room that changes you; it’s the many years of researching child care and soothing boo-boos that gradually turn you into someone new,' Khazan writes. 'To change, you have to take steps every day to do so. Having a baby won’t make you a better person. Behaving like a better person for your baby will.'"

Under news that First Lady Melania Trump urges Congress to provide Epstein victims with public hearing, a separate post by Daniel Kibblesmith asks "Sorry did we know she was gonna do that . . . or why she did that." then "It's always something with these people" and then "This is about my kid eating an oreo off the floor of the car"

You could also read the article for this info
Text of the article says "The law does not apply if a weapon is stored in a manner that a reasonable person would believe to be secure from a minor"

That's not right. What you're suggesting makes the culpable behavior owning the gun since it doesn't require negligence or any other mens rea. Have you ever read Bennie's law? The crime committed in this article was NEGLIGENT storage of the weapon.

I specifically asked who you're talking about and whether they're a monolith in this thread. You pointed at a specific group of 5 million you said were leftists/progressives that didn't vote because of Gaza and showed me numbers suggesting that they represent a fully responsible swing vote

Doesn't matter how much you say in defense of the Party or whether it used to pay your salary. The moment you say something too far left of center or criticize the status quo, you're an "Anti-Dem Activist." Welcome to the Big Tent. We're cooked.

A gigantic problem with all of the hardware being consolidated in data farms is that, when the AI bubble does pop (it will), the only way to be productive with existing software will be to rent from the neo-feudalists that now own everything. Consumer hardware supply chains and inventory are gone

This is apparently the new trolling meta. They can't say anything meaningful to you, so they add you to a List named for people you obviously don't agree with just to piss you off

Shut the fuck up
resident Donald Trump, bipartisan unifier? The idea may seem far-fetched, but one of his least discussed yet arguably most important reforms is finding support across the political spectrum.

The action is simple: The administration is finally allowing states to restrict the purchase of soda, sugary snacks and other junk food with the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), more commonly known as food stamps.

It's both interesting and very telling that many, many people on this platform would rather just block you when they realize they're wrong instead of admitting it or engaging in good faith.
Will Aegis responds to a now blocked poster: "Might be good to go back through the whole thread and re-read if you're confused. My only ask in this thread was that we Dems be willing to actually answer instead of being defensive or acting like there's nothing we can do when asked what we're doing."

Frankly, I’m flabbergasted. Waging trade war on a China that definitely doesn’t need us didn’t soften him up? I would have thought the fact bilateral tariffs incentivized Chinese companies to just find and establish customer bases that were previously less profitable elsewhere would’ve done it.

Hey, proponents of science. The reason nobody listens to you is because you say ridiculous stuff like this. Real science involves reasonable disagreement, and if you actually think you’re right, it shouldn’t be that hard to explain why.
