    As soon as Biden got in "the left" went to fucking sleep and refused to pressure Biden on anything. It was "too soon". Then it was
    "the parliamentarianfunkadelican said we can't do that" shrug. That transitioned into "being mad at Biden only helps republicans" because it's always fucking campaign season. The only thing they are good for is getting less evil judges in power, and they fucking suck at that too.

  • New poll has an independent populist upending the Senate with a Nebraska upset
  • If he wins, democrats will say it's a fluke and his success can't be replicated elsewhere.

    If he loses, even if it's by a less than 1%, the democrats will site his example as the reason they can't run on his issues, and then continue to run openAI neoliberal corporate hedge fund managers and lose by 20 points for eternity.

    Democrats have to tack as close to republicans as possible because their major donors agree with 99% of republican policy when it comes to economic matters, and will switch their support if they deviate too much from republicans.

  • Majority of Americans Feel Worse Off Than Four Years Ago
  • The Democrats declared victory over covid and took away all the progressive policies enacted because of the pandemic. That immediately took healthcare away from tons of people, and plunged many more back into poverty. They did this after taking a victory lap for lifting so many people out of poverty in the pandemic response.

    Covid isnt killing as many people but it's still a pandemic virus with unpredictable worldwide waves, but now everyone "middle class" and under are poorer and struggling with inflation. They are also getting sick a lot more often by something that can't be covid, because covid is over, right?

    Great job!

    What the fuck is up with Black Myth: Wukong discourse?

    Game looks cool. Watched a couple of reviews. Now youtube is recommending me rage-baiting gaming weirdos whining about DEI and attacking a reviewer for saying it isn't diverse enough.

    And then the developers have this clause reviewers have to agree to get a review copy of the game:

    >Do NOT include politics, violence, nudity, feminist propaganda, fetishization and other content that instigates negative discourse

    So chuds are championing the game now for being anti-woke?

    But not all people had to agree to the clause, just some people? And it's from a marketing partner working with the developer? And the developer may or may not be run by sexist creeps according to internet rumors?

    suggestive recruitment ads ran by the devs

    !

    Google translate text:

    Don't mess with colleagues

    In addition to sex partners, we found that many of the previous benefits only looked good. But here, we have more thoughtful services that will make you cry, whether it is meal allowance, car allowance, unlimited taxi reimbursement, or unlimited ZESPRI kiwifruit or KIRKLAND nuts.

    Forced self-pleasure

    You can easily say "play your own games more" and then turn around to play five-player mid, and you may also make money. But here, we require you to experience the products you develop seriously, and there is no room for compromise.

    Fat man die

    Reminding employees to pay attention to their health and providing free physical examinations still cannot prevent colleagues from dying from overwork.

    But here,

    We can go to the gym, run or swim during working hours without anyone's approval, and all expenses are borne by the company.

    Must work overtime

    We have never concealed the fact that overtime is a cancer in our industry, but here,

    1. We can sleep until we wake up naturally, have lunch and then come to work;

    2. After the project is launched, we will have transparent project profit-sharing bonuses every month.

    !gamer-gulag !gamer-gulag !gamer-gulag <-- this but unironically

    I know none of this matters, and I spent way more mental energy writing this stupid post than any of this deserves. I was expecting dumb backlash to the game just because it's from China, but this is far stupider than I expected.

    Fuck youtube for giving the most awful reactionary gamergate losers a career and promoting them every fucking chance they get. Whenever they attach themselves to a cultural object this bullshit starts popping up like a flea infestation.

    Fucking gamers.

    Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth is locking new game plus behind a $15 DLC upgrade

    !kiryu-slam One of my favorite game series gets enshittified.

    >It makes it all the more baffling, then, that Sega's upcoming Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is locking its New Game+ mode behind its Deluxe and Ultimate editions, which cost an extra $15 and $40 on top of the base game respectively. This is a series which, traditionally, has had its own features locked behind a NG+ run such as the legendary difficulty mode.

    >Specifically, NG+ is being folded into the 'Master Vacation Bundle' which isn't included with the game's base version. According to the game's official website the bundle also includes a bonus dungeon, special sujimon (from a Pokémon-like mode), resort guests, outfits "and more."

    US millennial women are now more likely to die in their late 20s and early 30s than any generation since the World War II era: report

    Millennial women are seeing a reduction in the wage gap and better graduation rates, but a stark rise in premature, preventable deaths, the PRB said.

    US millennial women are now more likely to die in their late 20s and early 30s than any generation since the World War II era: report

    >US millennial women saw their well-being decline, a first in modern times, per non-profit PRB.

    >Homicide, maternal mortality, and suicide rates have all increased for women aged 25 to 34.

    >The sudden reversal in progress for young women's safety comes despite an improved economic status.

    !amerikkka-clap

    >Contributing factors to the overall rise included the COVID-19 pandemic, which increased domestic violence rates, and a recent leap in gun violence incidents, the report also said.

    >Homicide is now also the leading cause of death for pregnant and postnatal women, more so than typical maternal mortality causes, the report noted.

    Daycare TB case exposes over 500 babies, children; emergency declared
    arstechnica.com Daycare TB case exposes over 500 babies, children; emergency declared

    The health department has set up multiple clinics to test children as quickly as possible.

    Daycare TB case exposes over 500 babies, children; emergency declared

    The problem is immunity debt to tuberculosis from the lockdowns. Remember to get infected with TB yearly so that your immune system is "topped up" and knows how to fight it! You don't want a weakened immune system from needlessly protecting yourself, or babies, from incredibly dangerous pathogens.

    >Health officials in Omaha, Nebraska, are wasting no time in testing over 500 infants, toddlers, and children who may have been exposed to an active tuberculosis case at a local daycare. The Douglas County Health Department (DCHD) declared a public health emergency Friday.

    >In a press release, DCHD said the exposures occurred at a daycare at the Westview YMCA, which provides "drop-in" care, allowing members to drop off their kids as they use the facility. The exposures occurred between May 21, 2023, and October 30, 2023.

    !amerikkka-clap

    >In an interview with The Washington Post, Douglas County Health Director Lindsay Huse said officials should start getting testing results from the younger children midweek and should have a better picture of transmission and the full scope of testing needed by sometime next week. Huse estimated that there are about 250 children in the 4-and-under group and 300 in the 5-and-up group. Any children infected will further expand the number of people potentially exposed

    Can you guess which incredibly common virus harms the immune cells responsible for fighting off a TB infection?

    Hint: only about 5% of children in that age group got the vaccine for it.

    U.S. infant mortality rate rises for first time in 20 years; "definitely concerning," one researcher says
    www.cbsnews.com U.S. infant mortality rate rises for first time in 20 years; "definitely concerning," one researcher says

    Researchers are speculating about possible reasons. One says it's unclear whether the increase was a one-year statistical blip or the beginning of a more lasting trend.

    U.S. infant mortality rate rises for first time in 20 years; "definitely concerning," one researcher says

    Another sign that things are going great!

    >The national rate rose to 5.6 infant deaths per 1,000 live births in 2022, up from from 5.44 per 1,000 the year before, the new report said.

    >The increase may seem small, but it's the first statistically significant jump in the rate since the increase between 2001 and 2002, said Danielle Ely, the CDC report's lead author. She also said researchers couldn't establish whether the 2022 rise was a one-year statistical blip - or the beginning of a more lasting trend.

    >The CDC said preliminary data suggests the increase is continuing, with quarterly rates in the first quarter of 2023 higher than they were at the same time in 2022.

    >Overall in the U.S., the death rate fell 5% in 2022 — a general decrease that's been attributed to the waning impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially on people 65 and older. U.S. maternal deaths also fell last year.

    >More than 30 states saw at least slight rises in infant mortality rates in 2022, but four had statistically significant increases - Georgia, Iowa, Missouri and Texas.

    >In numbers, U.S. infant deaths surpassed 20,500 in 2022 — 610 more than the year before nationwide. Georgia had 116 more infant deaths than the year before, and Texas had 251 more.

    Biden calls Hamas attacks the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust as US death toll ticks up
    apnews.com Biden calls Hamas attacks the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust as US death toll ticks up

    President Joe Biden says the weekend attack by Hamas militants on Israel was the deadliest against Jews since the Holocaust.

    Biden calls Hamas attacks the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust as US death toll ticks up

    >WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Wednesday condemned the weekend attack by Hamas militants on Israel as the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust as the number of U.S. citizens killed in the fighting ticked up to at least 22.

    >“This attack was a campaign of pure cruelty — not just hate, but pure cruelty — against the Jewish people,” Biden told Jewish leaders gathered at the White House.

    >Beyond the 22 known to have been killed, the State Department said at least 17 more Americans remain unaccounted for in a war that has already claimed more than 2,200 lives on both sides. A “handful” of U.S. citizens are among the estimated 150 hostages captured by Hamas militants during their shocking weekend assault on Israel, White House national security spokesman John Kirby said Wednesday.

    Between this and the "40 beheaded babies" lie, President harm reduction is clearly prepping us to accept Palestinian genocide.

    I'm seeing "progressives" demanding that hamas must be eradicated, but since they can't seperate themselves from the civilian population "there's nothing else we can do" but turn Gaza completely to rubble.

    This is all so vile.

    > Seven US government investigators briefly fell ill in early March while studying the possible health impacts of a toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed to CNN on Thursday.

    >The investigators’ symptoms included sore throats, headaches, coughing and nausea – consistent with what some residents experienced after the February 3 train derailment that released a cocktail of hazardous chemicals into the air, water and soil.

    Perhaps the residents of that town weren't lying when they said that the mass exposure to toxic chemicals was poisoning them? :thinky-felix:
