  • Which is perfect, because they are weird and don't actually understand what normal people think is weird.

    So now they are weird and desperate, desperately claiming everything is weird - except it's only weird to them, which confirms that they are weird, which makes them even more desperate to not be perceived as weird, and continues to push them into even weirder territory.

    A normal response to being called weird when doing something relatively normal is generally indifference/acceptance - but aggressively pushing back (their only play) simply confirms the accusation has merits.

    Drown these weirdos in their weird behaviour, weird understanding of relationships, and their weird perception of the world.

    The party of "Us VS Them" is slipping into "them" territory because the "Us" group will never own that label, and there is nothing they can do about it, because it's objectively true.

  • DOJ should go after right wing media for intentionally espousing disinformation.

    Pull a scientology and file individual lawsuits for every instance of lies, disinformation, false narratives, inciting violence, pushing agendas of enemy states etc.

    The biggest problem isn't police, it's that entire government's and media apparatus are solely focused on destroying America and are getting away with it consequence free.

    Once we drain the swamp, the police rats won't have full political and media support for hiding their crimes and we can start making federal police reforms that actually have teeth for going after all these bad apples.

    Throwing some Rapey, murdery police in jail is a start, but the national corruption runs way way deeper, and until that cancer is removed, real progress cannot be made as there will just be another game of musical chairs shuffling the problems around.

  • I really really really wanted to like this game.

    Very bad.

    Did not like much of anything but the atmosphere which was fairly deadspacey and what I really wanted - but it failed everything else pretty spectacularly.

    Maybe the PS4 pro just couldn't keep up, this game really wants you to melee but is also shooter based which makes combat for both suffer. The melee is extremely repetitive and entirely forced, and your shooting gets affected by the games desire for melee.

    Also, the maps are incredibly linear and annoying to navigate but not in a challenging or fun way.

    It's free so no danger of wasting money, but I always gotta shit on this game when I see it in the wild

  • Didn't they March in with victory day parade attire in their backpacks instead of a second round of ammunition, or rations?

    Said or unsaid, even if the war was going exactly as planned, it's a shit war that's executed poorly and will destroy the Russian economy and likely end up losing everything they took, even Crimea.

  • While I wish Biden did more, he did get a ton of fantastic policy through.

    Anything that helped the people too much was stymied by Manchin and Sinema (arguably the list would continue with centrists peeling off from Democrats) and the supreme court.

    Hopefully a landslide win happens and meaningful legislation is quickly passed. Bringing gov't programs up to speed for helping the middle class would probably cement democratic leadership for at least a decade

  • Honestly, that's a much more respectable sum than what politicians usually get bought for, especially considering how profitable the payout for bought politicians are.

    Still absolutely vile that it's legal, or that people can be bought without consequence. But finding out they were bought for a couple grand donation is saddening.

  • What a stupid comment.

    OP was illustrating the effect of total media control and propaganda, the local culture it generated with the loss of local resources, poisoned land, and jobs shipped overseas.

    Yes, it's sad that people were able to be brainwashed over generations with 100% captured media giving people a false culture built on lies and deceit.

    It's also sad that people who come to a revelation that they have been taken for a ride, they no only have to accept they were wrong for a large part of their life, responsible for voting to make it worse, and would likely lose their friends/family by rejecting the false narrative that's been embraced locally.

    Even if you hate these people for their situation, you'll still have to deal with them as voters and members of the population. Hating/confronting them will only push them further right.

    We really need to bring the country together, and remove the us VS them mentality the wealthy use to divide us.

    You are coping out by literally writing off half your country, refusing to understand the problem, don't want to address the root causes, and have no interest in resolving the issue.

    Do you have any kind of plan aside from blaming the others for all the problems? Because that's exactly how the wealthy maintain the status quo.

  • I get the initiative to help red states, but democracy also works where if your an asshole shithead who makes sure their state is run by asshole shitheads, then you live in an asshole shithead state.

    If blue state voters want their tax dollars educating red states, yay democracy!

    If blue states want to spend that money on themselves and watch as Red states become horrible places to live, yay democracy!

    The only downside is that federal budgets will continue to help red states. We need someone at the top willing to play the Republicans game and deny red states everything until they come crawling back, or use all those private business tax free profits to replace the shortfall.

  • I quite like chicory in my coffee, but I find it also upsets my stomach a bit

    Otherwise, I enjoy it in my instant coffee!

    I also pretty much only drink instant coffee so don't take my opinion too seriously 😅

  • Less chat bots on Lemmy, and they seem to be easily identifiable and ignored/reported.

    Lemmy isn't quite at that sweet spot where there are enough daily users to get niche content and information from a group of knowledgeable people - but some communities seem to be quite active and helpful already.

    I'd love to get to the point where we have a big science/history community and get some non-celebrity AMA's that have genuine interaction.

    I'm more than happy for Lemmy to stay "underground" for a good while, slowly building communities. Once things hit a critical mass and wind up on corporate radar, lemmy will get swarmed and another migration will happen with the same core groups that joined lemmy early.
