I think that this is the thing that's starting to really get me about this crowd. The pure unashamed hypocrisy and contradictions, accompanied by zero self reflection or awareness.
"I love freedom of speech and expression! Now shut up and get out of my sight, gay people."
"I care so much about the kids, so I'm supporting politicians that want to marry and fuck them."
"I can't stand these feminazis acting like all men are ok with rape, now excuse me while I listen to the latest sermon from Andrew Tate."
"I'm sick of DEI ruining my precious meritocracy. That's why I'm voting for an ex reality TV star to be my president and why I'll defend him putting a news reader in charge of the military."
I feel like I could actually go on and on and on with more examples of this if I really tried. And I know that we're supposed to be kinder to these people or some shit, so that they don't crap in their nappies and their temper tantrums and vote for even bigger pieces of shit next time. But at this point, tell me, how does one view these people as anything other than cruel, profoundly fucking stupid hypocrites?
Some anti-vaxx, conspiracy nut with a dead worm in his head that died eating part of his brain, who likes to do weird shit with roadkill. Aka the USA's top healthcare guy.
Tankies showing us how close to right wing conservatives they really are. How unusual /s. Makes one look at this particular crowd's big push to not vote in elections against a wannabe bigot fascist a little differently..
Beehaw users and communities always give me good vibes. Even before I looked the instance up and saw that good vibes are its thing. And if that entire instance left Lemmy, I think that would be pretty sad because we need all of the good vibes and good people around here that we can get.
That's actually a great point about magic users. We saw what she did with the Illuminati, she probably would've just made mince meat out of any non magic user Avengers too. In fact, even Dr. Strange was barely a match for her. So there probably wasn't anyone that could've realistically taken her on anyway.
For me the big issue with whatever happened between WandaVision and MoM is that she was just left to keep doing her own thing and grow in power after WandaVision. Apparently the Avengers will just forgive and forget about someone enslaving and torturing an entire town for 3 years, as long as that person was / is also an Avenger. Sure, her story was sad but also she's kind of a monster.
They obviously knew exactly where she was the whole time, considering that Dr. Strange just strolled up to have a chat with her. So basically they just let this unhinged and immensely powerful individual just walk away from that and live her life in peace in her apple meadow.
Haha I'll believe it when I see it. Pretty sure he said something similar a couple of Stardew Valley updates ago. This seems to be his number one love and obsession and one of these days while working on Haunted Chocolatier again, he's gonna think "hmmm that would actually go nicely in Stardew Valley" and start working on SV again.
Just FYI I'm not complaining or anything. I think it's funny and relatable. But I'm not gonna hold my breath for this game until it's actually out.
Sega Mega Drive for me. We had knock off NES consoles in my country with 100 in 1 cartridges but we just called those "TV games". Nintendo never bothered with any non first world country back then, so pirates picked up the slack. I don't think I even knew of the 'Nintendo' brand when I was a little kid until I started using the internet and collecting magazines.
But Sega wasn't quite as stiff upper lip and exclusive as Nintendo and had no problem with lowering themselves and selling their goods to us plebs in the 3rd world. So Sega was the premium brand here and "TV games" were just cheap shit in comparison in my eyes.
We had a knock off NES when I was a little kid (called a Pegasus) but my first actual legit name brand console was the Sega Mega Drive.
Wish I still had it. When I was about 13, I went through a really dumb phase for about 1 month total where I decided I was too grown up for this stuff and I sold my Mega Drive and comics for enough money to buy one CD, probably of a band that I don't even listen to anymore. Regret it to this day.
Did Trump actually have any concrete plans for the economy or did he just look "unbeatable" because he said "I'll make eggs cheap and great again! Very bigly!" jerks off two dicks
I mean, I guess that's an unbeatable platform if you're a nation of illiterate bigots that swap reason for blind fanaticism.
Yup. Trump and co haven't been sneaky and deceptive. They've been loud and clear this whole time. These voters weren't tricked. They voted for their trans neighbours to be dehumanized and made to suffer. They voted for their wives and mothers and daughters to be controlled and owned. They voted for their workforce to be plucked off the street by masked government grunts and shipped to a maximum security prison in another country for life. Personally, I would never be able to look this fucking scum in the eyes again without my hatred of them being visible.
group of 100 men came over immediately and encircled me
Wow check out these alpha chads over here. How brave and heroic of them to mob assault an individual woman for having a scarf on her face. What fine people to share a society with.
I think that says more about his cult than him. I know that I'm not sitting here thinking "oh poor people, if only they could break free from Trump's stunning charisma and dashing good looks." I'm actually sitting here thinking that there's a lot more ignorant, illiterate, inbred, hateful fucking morons on this planet than I previously thought. And even if they all suddenly turn into Democrats, my impression of them as ignorant, illiterate, inbred, hateful fucking morons is never going to change again.
I think that "woke" (as it used now by right wing mouth breathers) is a combination of "PC" and "satanic". Because from what I remember in my childhood, "satanic" was the word of choice for right wingers to use when they didn't like something. "PC" was used in an insulting way by certain people but it was far more popular at the time to just accuse anything they didn't like of being devil worship.
"Woke" is the exact same shit as that. Just repackaged so that edgelord teenagers also think it's cool to call everything "woke". And instead of the devil, it's the LGBTQ+ community, which is probably the same thing to them anyway. But it's all spear headed by the same fucking people or types of people, along with their legion of useful idiots this time.
