Republicans despise working-class Americans, it couldn’t be more obvious.

Fired Fed jobs have been reinstated because of court orders, what made them follow those?

Apparently Kentucky has a history of voting blue governors and red everything else.

I think it’s sub-conscious self-hatred projected onto others. They are fractured, damaged people, that, from an early age were told that their vulnerabilities were weaknesses. Their inability to accept themselves as they are causes them to wreak havoc on the world searching for enough tangible reasons (power, fame, money) so that they finally can. But it’s never enough, because no amount of outer wealth will fill the void of inner poverty.

tldr: these people hate themselves

Yeah I think I just naively didn’t notice until recently. I hate that the departure feels so political, because I mostly followed really chill subreddits. I don’t see as much active discussion here on Lemmy yet, but I love the fediverse concept and am here for seeing this place flourish.

At ease soldier! Thanks for fighting the good fight. Are bots not so much a problem on Lemmy?

I had an 11-year old Reddit account permabanned and they didn’t even give me a reason. Feels bad man

Because seeing people actually fighting for us builds coalitions, and energizes people to take action. Seeing limpdick democrats do literally nothing has the exact opposite effect.

Durbin was one of the 10 that recently voted Yes on the Republican spending bill, so yeah Democrat In Name Only

You also need to be clueless about off-road and towing capabilities. I see an odd similarity to this car as the Hummer brand in the 2000s. It represented some sort of gluttonous American superiority at the time. Whereas the Hummer alluded to a military superiority, the Cybertruck now alludes to a BigTech superiority. It’s all the attempt to buy yourself an identity.

They can’t pass legislation, this is the most effective thing they can be doing right now. Ideally it will rile up GOP voters to ditch their representatives if they feel ignored and abandoned by them. At the least it will put pressure on GOP reps to be more accountable to their constituents.

It seems the point is to show just how well many aspects of our government were actually working for us before a band of malicious idiots began damaging it.

Bowling Alone by Robert Putnam. Community has been on a slow decline in America since 1965. The combination of an increasingly isolated population and a 24-hour propaganda news cycle aimed to pit you against your neighbor has been a wild success.

If you watch it and it moves

With this fucking timeline I just assumed this was real

If I hand a child a battery with leaky acid and it burns their hands, why should I be responsible? It’s not my battery!!

Silicon Valley is just a scam. They’ve made billions off selling your data, and selling targeted ads with your own data to be shoved back into your face. Social media has ruined society. Every “innovation” has been some way of stealing from you, whether it’s your data, your attention, or now, the entirety of documented humanity.

/end yelling at clouds

Damn you and your thoughtfully written nuance!

Super Mario World, though its caked with nostalgia for me so I haven’t played it in ages.

The answer that will get me shot? Paper Mario Sticker Star on 3DS. I just found it absolutely charming, from the music to the visuals to the humor. I have still yet to play TTYD which I’ve heard is a masterpiece, so I came into Sticker Star blind to the Paper Mario franchise.
