Thought I was in the boring dystopia community instead. I suppose I’ll just continue to hope that this is too impractical to happen or that those responsible aren’t competent enough to make it happen.

1. I’m just tired right now.

Yet another reason to despise AI. Animals deserve to be safe too. We’ve already taken so much from them as it is.

I love their little heads so much.

I thought about making a bluesky account, but it doesn’t entirely feel all that safe when conservatives are freely posting their misinformation over there too without any pushback.

You don’t need to cheat when the bar association decides to be lazy and use AI to write the exam itself.

Where else are people going besides here?

World Wars are for the war machine fanatics. That’s really where it starts for a lot of people.

The American Civil War is mostly where you’ll find revisionists and southerners, but there are also true enthusiasts. There’s a lot of discussion in regards to the Mexican-American War priming the country for the Civil War, or discussion regarding the politics of the time and it’s impact on the course of the war.

Falklands? I want to assume that if you’re British then you’d like to forget this ever happened. Although the war did result in the disposal of a dictator and brought a country into the folds of democracy even if it had to occur over what is essentially a colonial territory dispute.

French and Indian War? I’d just say you enjoy colonial era history? Or you’re currently living in the area that it occurred.

Reminds of during covid when people were photoshopping their cats faces onto bees. It was my favorite trend.

Never letting go of it.

They control the voting machines now. As if we’re ever getting another chance.

It’s not so black and white. It really depends. There needs to be communication between both parties.

It’s perfectly fine if one person says, “I can’t do this. I can’t go through with this.” Asking someone to stay by you until you die, or to carry the burden of your disability or sickness is a lot. If there’s a conversation held about it and one person wants out then it’s fine.

One person simply leaving the moment it’s announced is a bit much though, especially if they decide to come back. As someone else said, it’s called having tact.

No contact. I tried. I tried so hard to point out the wrongs committed by the regime that I thought that they would disagree with, but MAGAs just bend reality around it all.

It’s painful, given that most of us don’t do this out of a sense of right or wrong, but because we care. You get used to it eventually though.

I can’t tell if he’s enjoying himself or not.

I always find it funny when you have couples dressing up for Halloween and you can tell who came up with the idea. One person will be really, really into it, and the other is just there for the ride.

Same, I’m rooting for the seagull, assuming that’s what they’re going for.

A spokesman for the Pokémon Company International told the Daily Beast, “We are aware of a recent video posted by the Department of Homeland Security that includes imagery and language associated with our brand. “Our company was not involved in the creation or distribution of this content, and permission was not granted for the use of our intellectual property.”

It’s pure damage control. It’s a shame to see it.

Don’t get me wrong, there could be a take down request going on in the background, but that’s futile. DHS and ICE are federal agencies. Taking on federal agencies is near impossible for a variety of reasons I won’t get into. The process is entirely in the governments favor, and always has been, even prior to a fascist regime taking over.

Given all that, it would be much more comforting to see the companies involved speaking out a bit more, but that’s asking for too much I’d say.

Can’t deny this.

I come from a family of MAGAts and when they’re angry at something they make sure everyone knows it. They boycott aggressively, tell all their friends and family to do the same and they do not let up.

My friends and fiancee are really, really bad about these things in comparison. I’m sure our canceled subscriptions will be back in 3-4 months.

It’s something all the right wing grifters will realize at some point.

These people have no purpose if Trump forces all the news networks in the country to say whatever he wants. He no longer requires any of their services as mouthpieces.

As much as many of us would welcome it, the reality is that the new MAGA country would declare war on us immediately.

SL was too complicated when I was a kid. Might be different now, but a lot of us went onto IMVU instead. It originally had no separation for over and under 18 accounts, but even after they added it you had both kids and adults blatantly intermingling anyways. You couldn’t search up over 18 rooms as under 18 or search under 18 rooms as over 18, but people could still invite and chat.

Nothing quite like being 15 and hanging out with your friends until one of them invites their mid-twenties boyfriend to the chat.
