The Flintstones had it right.

If four years is not enough time, especially when we had years of material to work with beforehand, including two impeachments, then it was clearly never going to happen. This is the common strategy of doing things as slow as possible to show progress is being made, but it’s such small progress that it’s effectively at a standstill. It’s what democrats use to pretend they’re fighting for progress when in reality they’re just upholding the status quo until the next republican term. We’ve ping-ponged between republican and democratic party rule almost evenly, yet the country is becoming more and more fascist. There is a reason for that.

Because democrats are only interested in upholding the status quo. With the republicans only pushing the status quo to the right, you can see where this ends up.

No word on the attorney general who was hand-picked by democrats to sit with his thumbs up his ass for four years?

They got ignored by the people they petitioned for help.

Anti-genocide protesters did more than just pick up a phone and call. We all saw the result.

I might not agree with the moderation practices or even their opinions, but that doesn’t make them crazy.

I did, and still didn’t see the crazy. In fact, all it did was make me wonder why an instance with such little activity gets talked about so much.

Do you have any examples of this? Since world is defederated from that instance, I only end up visiting it when people like you come in and talk about how absolutely crazy it is over there, so occasionally I’ll take a curious peek. This time I see… a post about Indigenous rights, a post criticizing capitalism, a post dunking on musk, a post about FOSS… when do I start seeing the crazy?

Nobody fell in love with biden in 2020. He was crowned the nominee because they told everyone that somehow out of all candidates he was the best chance against trump and democrats fell in line, just like they did in 2016 for hillary.

Evil motherfuckers tend to live forever, unfortunately. It’s the pure concentrated hate that sustains them.

I’m glad Nintendo is finally starting to realize the potential of playable Zelda. Her style of gameplay will put a fresh new spin on the series. I also hope to see somewhere down the line a game where you can choose to play as either Zelda or Link and your choice will give you a different experience and cause puzzles to have different solutions, which would be good for a replay. Such a game would also have the potential for two-player co-op with vastly different abilities.

Most, if not all, of these books talking about how to get rich are how the authors get rich in the first place. While there may be some good advice in them, the real way to get rich is to sell others on the idea that they could be rich if they buy your products/services.

Thanks for admitting you have no response and instead rely on a thought-terminating cliché.

There is a big gap between auth-left and auth-right thought. Auth-right thought imposes violence as an inherent part of the ideology because it promotes the idea of racial supremacy, they have to actively commit violence to achieve their goals. Auth-left uses violence on perceived threats to their order, not based on features people are born with. I do not agree with China’s actions on Tiananmen Square or their treatment of Uyghurs, but these two things are definitely used by the US as a fulcrum to attack China.

Do you not find it odd how much importance is placed on Tiananmen Square after all these decades? Do you not find it odd how hard the US hammers the point of the Uyghur genocide while at the same time fully funding and supporting the genocide of Palestinians? The tactic is to flood communication channels with propaganda to achieve domination over the narrative and this is the sort of thing we’re seeing here with countless posts about tankies. Why are we supposed to take American narratives as gospel to shut down opposing narratives?

YSK: There are countless posts by “concerned” users shrieking about tankies. What is the point of these “informational” posts? Looking to stamp out opinions you don’t like so you can turn the fediverse into astroturfed-to-hell-and-back reddit 2.0?

I bought a Switch near launch, but I think I’ll opt to instead wait to emulate the Switch 2 to spite them.

Success or failure depends on the goal. Perhaps outside observers can see something as a failure or success, but that doesn’t matter since you set the goals. As for which Lemmy community to post this to, I dunno.

It took me a long time to cancel but I finally did because I’d been skipping for every month over the course of maybe two years. I had found out that the classic plan doesn’t even have an advantage anymore, so there was no point in me maintaining that.

That Amazing Hebereke game seems like a proto Power Stone.
