Found Putin's Lemmy account

maybe he did, but it was his first time and it hits real different at 81.

a bonus meme for all my homies that comment:

hey homie, there is no hard and fast rule about what must be posted where, but i think generally the people subbed to this Entertainment community are looking for posts about "Movies, television and Broadway", as it says in the sidebar. Generally, most us are sharing memes in the Jokes and Humor community, unless the meme is about something specific to a community (anime meme in the anime community, etc.). Again, you can post whatever wherever, but i think you'll tend to get more reactions on a post if you post it in the most appropriate community.

Huh?

Pretty far 😂 I THINK he was almost as big as Ninja at one point. If you don't know who Ninja is, then I think you just gotta tap outta this one. Lol

One of the few games that makes me jealous of PS5 owners. Sony is getting their Super Mario Odyssey and I want it on my PC 😭

I thought this would be about Truth Social, but it's mostly about stuff like Breitbart. But then at the end:

Baragona observed that Trump's Truth Social platform also saw a significant decline in unique users. In May of 2024, Truth Social had just 2.7 million unique users, which is a 14% drop compared to May of 2023. This marked the platform's second-worst performing month since its launch.

So that's dropping, too. I wonder where all the users are going?

i need to make this meme now

It's the reality of modern US politics. One party is a complex coalition of vaguely progressive neolibs, and the other is a literal cult. Either you say "Jan 6th wasn't a big deal" or they force you to quit.

I want to start by saying: you don't need to have a link to post to Politics! I think there's probably a subset of Beeple that prefer that anything politics related stays to that community, so they can filter it out easily if they don't want to engage with politics. My personal belief is that EVERYONE should be engaged with politics, but I know bad days happen and on those days just seeing Trump's name can push some people into a deeper spiral.

But you make a good point. For how conservative and corrupt this court is, it's surprising that they haven't been more brazen. In a lot of cases, when they haven't gone with the more politically-conservative ruling, it seems like they've aimed to reject the conservative argument on technical grounds more than anything. That said, they went scorched earth on the biggest rulings that have taken place since 2020, and to me, that says it all. They hear Congress and the President openly questioning their integrity, and they know this will lead to actual reforms of the Court if they let this continue. So they go back in their cave, and go back to making quiet little inconsequential rulings wherever possible. Then, when the bribe check is big enough or the ruling is important enough to the Conservative mission, they'll come back out swinging with a 6-3 ruling that ruins all of our lives even more.

But idk. I'm no expert, and it sounds like you are more plugged in to SCOTUS news than I am. Just some of my thoughts.

Glad they still left Frank lookin like a caveman

probably true for a lot of people. i think the joke in this comic is that many of us grow to appreciate the little things more as we grow older, and that leads us to being excited about things that our younger selves would have characterized as "boring". It's the same as rewatching a movie you thought was boring when you were 20, and discovering that it's now your favorite movie ever.

The accusation from two former Twitch employees, as posted on Twitter, was:

He got banned because got caught sexting a minor in the then existing Twitch whispers product. He was trying to meet up with her at TwitchCon. The powers that be could read in plain text.

Beahm's direct response to that specific allegation is:

Were there twitch whisper messages with an individual minor back in 2017? The answer is yes. Were there real intentions behind these messages, the answer is absolutely not. These were casual, mutual conversations that sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate, but nothing more.

So the detail of "sexting" is "in dispute" in the sense that the predator denies the allegations, but predators always deny allegations. And the fact that his formal denial still included details like "sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate" is really sus.

So to me, saying "we don’t know if it was sexting, all we know for sure is that inappropriate messages were sent" has the same energy as saying “no criminal charges have ever been brought against me”. We don't need photo evidence to know he was a creep.

If you're just catching up on this news now: Twitch dropped him because they found Twitch DMs where he was sexting a minor and discussing plans to meet up with said minor at TwitchCon.

my partner refers to all pasta as "spaghetti" and it drives me up a wall

aha i can be stickler for clear definitions as well, but I was just shitposting

Empirical evidence is always the most reliable.

it's the car manufacturers that piss me off on this. Why is the license timed? Why isn't it licensed on a "per game release" basis? What does Toyota lose if the 94 Celica is still driveable in a dead racing game from 10 years ago? It's clearly a case of game devs having to acquiesce to the demands of stakeholders that don't understand video games.
