Habit from the old BBSes I used… Can’t be having with this new fangled “mark down” at my age.

No I’ve seen this one before, the baby is actually standing on a stepladder and /that/ has been edited out.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I think it was desperation trying to avert Trump’s election. Not saying you’re wrong of course.

If they need to start thinking now they’re about a decade to late.

Ok but, awful as this is, “you should consider it” is funny, ngl
- Comment on Musk shares post that Hitler didn’t kill millions, public workers did. Union rages 2 weeks ago:
For a while I was holding on to sanity thinking “he’s an idiot and he’s just drawing attention to himself.” But now, to anyone that was still thinking “maybe he really is that clumsy, maybe he didn’t really mean it”, this is it. If you’re not getting it now you never will. He’s literally, in the literal sense of literally, a Nazi.

No, someone else is doing something worse than me so I’m absolved. I can do what I want.
- Comment on The System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster pages are on GOG & Steam 4 weeks ago:
One of my all time favorites. This looks like a real remaster rather than SS1’s remake. Either way looking forward to revisiting the Von Braun and the Rickenbacker.
- Comment on Bombshell report reveals staggering amount of government funds paid to Elon Musk 4 weeks ago:
I’m so shocked I can’t even tell you how much. Elon Musk? Grifting money from the government? I just don’t believe it.

But what if i need to commute 600 miles to work and back every day and on top of that once a year I drive a million miles to my vacation home? Checkmate!

- Like telling people they can’t be the sexuality they choose or that they can’t control their own uterus.
- Like when people tell you there’s scientific proof for the above
- Like when a guy in dress reads a picture book to some kids
- Like how invading the capitol is patriotic but kneeling during the national anthem is treason
- Comment on Jon Stewart says the media cried wolf with its 'fascist' attacks on Trump 5 weeks ago:
I think the main problem with shouting fascist is not that it’s wrong but that it’s ineffective. You have to address what he’s actually doing wrong and how you would do better. Of course it’s a big problem that he’s incredibly good at spreading disinformation and the Democrats are almost completely media illiterate these days.

If she’s 17 now she hasn’t aged a bit in the last 7 years, impressive. (picture from another thread)

I mean it’s absolutely news but why would you link Breitbart of all sites? It’s not like it’s not posted to real news sites.
- Comment on I liked Star Trek before it got woke. /s 1 month ago:
Can’t stomach McFarlane unfortunately. I’m told it gets better later on but his sense of humor is just like nails on a chalkboard to me. Couldn’t get myself to finish the first season.

I’d support a “you can eat all the meat you can catch and kill with your bare hands” diet.

Say what you want about TOS, it’s campy and silly but it’s not boring.

That’s fair, the cartoon is apparently not bad, just not my cup of tea.

I don’t know about woke but I liked Trek before it got boring and poorly written -_-
- Comment on He Did It: Trump Calls for Ending the Federal Income Tax! 1 month ago:
About damn time. And since there’ll be no money, just get rid of the FBI, CIA and the army. Who needs any of that? States can just raise their own local armies so they can finally have a real scrap.

And lose face the next time the internet goes out and they’re blowing on their cable like an idiot in front of everyone. Love it!
- Comment on Is there any way our of the US political spiral? 2 months ago:
Protest, absolutely. And possibly violent ones, could be. But until we get a good majority of people on our side we’re just going to be fighting our own while the oligarchs laugh. You want to start a fist fight with a conservative over pronouns? It sounds fun but it won’t accomplish anything.
I’m not saying we can get to where we need to be 100% nonviolently but it has to start there. You have to build a base before you can overthrow anything. You’re talking about skipping to the last step without taking all the necessary steps in between. The revolution part is always romanticized but all the hard work that goes into it is ignored. That’s how Occupy failed so miserably.
- Comment on Base-building survival game Necesse gets a big update and Free Weekend 2 months ago:
Well it’s a cute game but I’d hardly call it impressive. Let’s see what the update brings but it was pretty bare-bones in the past, especially if you compare it to actually impressive indies in the space like Core Keeper.
- Comment on Is there any way our of the US political spiral? 2 months ago:
There’s not going to be a public revolt or at least I wouldn’t hold my breath. And besides public revolts may feel cathartic but historically they don’t have the kind of outcome we’d hope for. Not to mention the civil war that’d likely ensue.
There’s no overnight solution to this problem. And you can’t start from the top if you’re not already a billionaire with a private social media network. But you can get people on your side or rather show that you’re on their side.
The real enemy is the same for both of us: the 0.01%. Trump supporters have just been brainwashed into thinking Trump is the man to solve that problem. And to be fair a lot of the left has been brainwashed into thinking the establishment Democrats are the only way forward.
But in the end it’s the extreme right that profits from us screaming insults at each other.
- Comment on Clarifying questions about the Musk salute 2 months ago:
He’s very aware. He’s posting jokes such as “You did nazi that coming” also he’s claiming it’s all nonsense left wing conspiracy and it was just a harmless wave. Your basic right wing gaslighting mixed with a bit of dog whistling.
- Comment on Is there any way our of the US political spiral? 2 months ago:
Grass-roots local freaking organization. People keep waiting for someone to save them not realizing: they’re someone. Get involved with whatever local org is trying to improve people’s lives. Address the problems that the right wing is lying about solving. Support whatever local candidate aligns with that view or hell become that candidate. Then get more people on board.
The extreme right flourishes because the establishment (left and right) has for decades ignored real people’s issues. You hears those interviews with Trump voters? They’re not talking about wanting to reinstate the Third Reich, they’re complaining about their real life hardships being ignored by politicians. And yeah Trump is obviously lying but desperate people will believe a lie if no one else is providing a better alternative.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
If it makes you (both) happy, just don’t overanalyze it. You can always dig to a deeper “why”, but what does it matter? If you really want to know, ask yourself (of course hypothetically) “if I left my husband afterwards, would I regret that I had it done?”
That said, something you should absolutely analyze in detail are the risks and physical discomfort and see if you’re OK with that.
