Comment on Does anyone have "Neopets revival" on their 2024 bingo card?

I mean, it’s legitimately a bright spot.
But with November of this year likely heralding the legitimacy of fascism in the US, it’s incumbent upon us to try enjoy the silly shit before that comes along.

You speak as if it’s already decided. It’s incumbent upon us to enjoy the silly shit and do our damnedest to prevent the fascist rise.
Go play some Neopets, and stop listening to news orgs for a while (you’ve likely already decided who you’re supporting, anyway), especially the ones who trade in the 24h News Cycle; they have a vested interest in selling rage, not nuanced journalism. Hope eats into their profit margins.

I think it is. Trump won in 2016 because people were largely impoverished and Democrats didn’t do anything about it. The impoverishment is worse now.
BUT, that does make it more important to enjoy the silly shit. Absolutely.

I think Trump won, because people underestimated him and thought it was somebody else’s problem to go vote.
We will have to agree to disagree, plus, I don’t want to derail this Gaming community into a political debate. Enjoy your games! If you see a golden Shoyru, it might be mine.

Fair enough. Enjoy your awesome Neopet!
