I say they’re basically the same because one party allows the other to apparently undermine the US Constitution to a pretty far degree. The Dems aren’t pushing back against the Pubs on their batshit insane abortion laws, child labor law regressions, and whatever the fuck DeSantis is doing in Florida - they’re just sort of going along with it. “Oh, it’s just them being far-right - that’s just the silly old Republicans!” The two US parties are, at best, far-right and center-right - so they ultimately have some of the same interests of keeping businesses and corporate lobbyists happy.

Hell, it’s ultimately not a right-or-left thing - it’s a class thing. Both the Dems and the Pubs now are the rich “aristocracy” being bribed left and right by the fucking corporate owners, while they all fuck over the rest of us working class people for a quick buck. Remember when people were blasting Republicans for taking PPP loans for either their own personal business or literally just for profit? Turns out Dems were doing it too, but because Dems feed just the right amount of bullshit and the Republicans were (and still are) saying and doing some insane shit, we let it slide. So I say they are the same because they both do some shady shit for corporate lobbyists and want to personally benefit whenever they can - if the Dems truly cared about being more left, then they would have let Bernie be the presidential candidate instead of Hillary, and they would be more accepting of AOC instead of weirdly ostracizing her.

Which has nothing to do with anything I said, but aight. In fact, the fact you had to defend your sexuality in a first-world country like the US is what’s so fucked up in the first place. The Netherlands were basically the first to make gay marriage legal in the 2000s, and a decent chunk of Europe also showed more support towards the LGTBQ community long before the US legalized gay marriage in all the states in 2015. Keep in mind that the places I mentioned tend to be actually left-leaning to a degree.

My point is that the two US parties are more concerned with making sure the corporate owners get their way without too much hassle from the general populace - the far-right one just says the quiet parts out loud, while the center-right party gives you verbal support but most of the time doesn’t do shit because they like money, too. I mean, look at this actual topic here - building a border wall for Mexico has been a popular topic for Republicans… but suddenly the Democratic president can’t say no to this even though building this would bypass 26 different laws, which in other words, are 26 different reasons to not fucking do it if they didn’t want to like the president claims?

Democrats want to keep the status quo and placate people with just enough bullshit (which, I’ll be honest, I 100% think they would be fine with not supporting LGTBQ communities if we, the people, would not fucking riot and oust them for stuff that should’ve been fine from the get-go decades ago), and the Republicans are now just trying to see how far they can push corpofascism before we, the people, decide to put a stop to that shit.

A computer is just a really hot pile of sand.

Don’t forget, Dems and Pubs are basically on the same team: greedy fucks who benefit from having their hands in corporate money and corruption.

So wouldn’t be surprised if this is one if those times where somehow, by a miracle the Dems and Pubs agree on something and decide it’s okay to build a huge fuck-off wall that probably won’t work long-term anyways.

THE SITUATION HAS ONLY BEEN MADE WORSE BY THE ADDITION OF YET MORE BEES!

Any of the PS1-era Crash Bandicoot games.

My dad, my older brother, and I would spend hours playing those games with each other. Dad wasn’t the greatest gamer, but he was always patient enough to get my brother and I a ton of lives so we all could play without worrying too much :) Still got those discs in good condition too, just played them again with my dad a few months back for the first time in forever!

Never forget the infamous NCIS co-op hacking on a keyboard scene.

“ermahgerd i can’t wait to post something BAD and HORRIBLE about Elongated Muskrat! imma post to fediverse for some sick internet points.”

Seriously, touch grass. I hate Elongated Muskrat as much as the next person, but sometimes a bad thing is a bad thing regardless of the owner. Actually make an opinion on the topic instead of immediately trying to ride the karma train.

Idk if I like this. Wouldn’t having big famous Hollywood actors and actresses screw over the industry for a lot of people? Which sucks because just because they’re actors, it doesn’t mean they can voice act - Megan Fox did a character in the new Mortal Kombat and she gave the most wooden performance in recent memory; Keanu Reeves in Cyberpunk 2077 was kind of odd at times, but it was still okay.

I just don’t want these big names invading a space that’s already hard to compete in, and then taking all the jobs because of star power and not their actual talent.

You can accurately say that you have single-handedly doubled the amount of Lemmy posts since posting your comics

I can’t wait to get Bored Ape-flavored Coke on the blockchain!

This is a bunch of greedy politicians helping out their donors corporate sponsors. You’ll probably have some Dems be like “oh noooo that’s bad”, but they ultimately do not give a shit because they still take money from corporate interests and anything that will actually affect the rich is a Very Bad Thing (tm).

This is practically class warfare.

Holy fuck my sides are going into orbit lmao, you’re just slinging schoolyard insults without explaining yourself.

Neither are you, considering your posts.

So please, elaborate on how @bleistift2 is not very smart so people can have a discussion versus just you going “lmao gottem”.

oooooo you gottem with a sick burn bro, what a big chungus chad redditor moment /s

Seriously, go touch grass.

I feel like having a recruit panic and wipe out your whole squad is a rite of passage for XCOM players

Meanwhile, Baldur’s Gate 3 be like “any% sex speedrun WR 2:18”

In IT, it’s sometimes hilarious. You’ll see some people asking for 10+ years experience in a software that’s not even been out for 5 years.

All the years of experience is just arbitrary because HR people just put something down that sounds good rather than exploring the merits of each candidate.
