That can’t be a real sign…

Is that seriously what we’re calling it? The official name is Alligator Alcatraz? America is a parody of a real nation.

exactly, they fear they won’t have enough weapons to give to Israel.

Y’know how things have mostly gotten worse for the past five years, with most innovation going towards corporate control, and nearly all tech services moving towards enshittification?

Yeah five more years of that.

obviously, I doubt Rutte was expecting this message to be shared. If he wasn’t a complete moron and actually doing this just to stroke his own ego, I’d actually give Donald props for leaking it, as Rutte kissing Donald’s ass makes him look terrible, and more broadly makes the European parts of NATO look terrible.

I imagine Rutte’s intent is to stroke Trump’s ego to try and keep him interested in NATO, but I feel like that’s a fool’s errand. Trump doesn’t give a shit about anyone else but himself. This new agreement, with NATO signatories needing to commit 5% of their GDP, feels like a grift for the benefit of U.S. defense contractors. The U.S. cannot be trusted to actually honor their agreements anymore, so why pay more into their alliance? Is Europe really that scared of further Russian aggression?

I find suicide distasteful and seek glory.

Literally wouldn’t matter, and unfortunately for you this is one of my biggest pet peeves. Framing this battle as the People vs Trump is awful. Trump is a symptom of a larger problem, and until the rot at the heart of the U.S. government is fully cut out, it actually doesn’t matter who is running the circus. If we still have elections in 2028, the race will be against two billionaire-backed candidates. One will champion returning to the liberal status quo that allows fascism to legitimize itself and grow, and the other will be fascism.

If anything, assassinating him now would make him a martyr that would galvanize his base, who are already calling for civil war btw, into action.

Counterpoint: Superman is strong enough that he could raze the system to the ground.

Making the mother of all power vacuums Jack, can’t fret over each billionaire!

Still is dead to me. I heard you can bypass the requirement and don’t need a Sony acct again, but it’s just not worth the trouble.

Condensing a rant I had on another comm with this question here: fruit belongs with meat. fullstop. Idk why we’re still having this discussion when medieval peasants were able to figure it out in like the 12th century.

My guess is that MAGA content was getting flagged, and Youtube believes that should be monetizable in modern America.

From the ground, it feels like a lot of Americans are willing to trade their democracy for the illusion of peace.

Almost as if things have been getting worse for a long, long time.

So it doesn’t seem like it’s collecting all of the information from the updated EULA yet, but likely will start doing so soon.

Does anyone know if you can still connect to multiplayer servers if you aren’t on the latest patch? I might just turn off auto-updates and prevent the game from ever updating, but I’d like to have the option to play some more with friends in the future

I got long arms and an exfoliating luffa. I just wash every part. There’s no part of my back that I can’t reach.

The trick is to have an undiagnosed illness that constantly upsets your stomach and threatens to regurgitate any food you eat. Once I realized it hurts less to not eat at all, I started regularly skipping on meals. What’s really annoying is that I still have a pudgy tummy, even though I’m stuck on a diet some people would dream of being able to commit to.

I do think some of the blame has to lie on the centrist candidates who legitimize the grievances of the far-right by pandering to them, instead of calling out their lies and collaborating with the left. Seems to be a global trend of centrists preferring to try and capture the vote of the mythical right-wing moderate.

Is it really a cost if those states want to make things worse for themselves? They all have the same ability to choose sensible economic policies, they just seem to want morons in charge.

The reason there isn’t any other option is because nobody puts in the effort to add other options.

There’s a Simpsons meme currently in Active on 196 rn from 1994 pointing out how ineffective both parties are. People have had longer than I have been alive to work on a third way.

America isn’t collapsing now all of a sudden. People have been passively watching it die for decades.

First time? If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that normies don’t give a fuck and just want their simple distractions, regardless of what the greater cost to society is.
