  • On the other hand, newcomers tend to… totally ruin the thing you’ve loved for decades.

    This is one of the most gatekeeping thing I've heard in a while. You don't want new people to discover something you like because they might like it differently.

    So let’s all hope this doesn’t lead to watered down cash grabs

    You mean more than the mobile game and Fallout 76?

  • They won't. They got shown up by New Vegas and even had that stupid bonus scheme to cheat Obsidian out of pay. Neither company would agree to do that again.

    Also someone would have to use Bethesda's ass engine yet again and no one wants those ugly models and awful performance.

  • Cutting Social Security is also known as killing retirees.

  • I've been thinking along the same lines for a while. If I call 911 and submit a knowingly false report, I get charged with a crime. If I submit knowingly false paperwork to the government, I can be charged with a crime or at least infraction and fined.

    But these people we elect who have entire staffs that are for making sure they always have enough information are submitting blatantly unconstitutional laws just to get them passed through a majority congress to be again and again shot down at the judicial level should really face consequences.

    Though I don't know what that would be without it being used to easily punish political opponents. If there's a law that does this and gives the judiciary more power, how will it be used when conservatives control those 2 branches?

  • Any service member who supports Trump is indeed a "sucker and loser". You pretty much have to be to that that kind of abuse and still support him.

  • This is it. And it's because tap water can be really different from locale to locale. If you're not used to it, it can taste quite bad. And room temperature water from the tap can enhance the flavor. So people put ice in it to cover it up.

  • -3 feels like cheating.

  • Yeah, that's probably right.

    And then the Satanic Temple comes in with a lawsuit forcing Tennessee to "recognize" their literature as well for equality under the law.

  • Blatantly unconstitutional.

    U.S. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black famously stated in Everson v. Board of Education that “[t]he First Amendment has erected a wall between church and state,” and “[t]hat wall must be kept high and impregnable.”

    Government may not adopt or ban instances of religion.

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

  • If traveling is an option for these people why ban it at all? Oh right, because only privileged people should have the ability to get healthcare. The poors are slaves and get what their masters give them, right Lake?

  • Holy shit those movements are disturbing.

  • What the fuck? Who wants to be competing in sex and romance? I mean that's the dating scene and a LOT of people hate that shit. Once you get into a relationship, who still wants to do that? Especially in a polyamory relationship: I thought one of the points of polyamory was that each individual was free to love each member in their own way and there wasn't any real competition and struggle for affection (or as little as possible).

    Someone clearly thinks they are going to be at the "top" of their polycule and wants to lord it over people for some pathetic amount of power.

  • I always come up with one answer. Just in case the party is having a brain fart and can't figure anything out. It's rarely an easy answer though.

    But then I wait for them to come up with something plausible. Or sometimes brute force it, that's fun too.

  • Yeah. Commenting is important. I look at my feed under Hot and I see a bunch of new posts over the last few hours and they all have 0 comments. Lemmy w/o comments is just a community-driven RSS feed. I comment first when I actually have something to add but it's just as important as posting new links.

  • Wouldn't the offspring of either be a billionaire as soon as either father gave her a billion? Or gave her control of a company that was going to earn her that much? Seems like an easy ask for the 2 richest people.

  • GenAI generally can't spell worth a shit. It doesn't actually know how, it just predicts words and sentences.

  • At least in previous history, Soloman was probably involved. /s

  • You're right. It has to due with being able to call up a militia. I don't see any of these gun stores asking for militia papers before selling.
