Yeah, I'm not really agreeing or disagreeing with either of you.
I think they exaggerated the "Trump will fix everything" when the general sentiment from the genocide Joe/ both sides crowd was "they're equally bad"
And clearly, they aren't equally bad. Trump is much much worse. And we're seeing ample proof of that.
Yet, the genocide Joe people are still plugging their ears and yelling.
Are you under the impression that we're only allowed to reply if we're arguing directly with you?
It wasn't so much that people claimed Trump would be better. However, people claiming they would be equally bad because you can't get worse than genocide were fucking EVERYWHERE. Every single thread, even threads not even tangentially related to Gaza or politics. They canvased every thread. And they're still here.
And I just went back to Reddit after the election. Lemmy is full of the most annoying social warrior edgelords where every fucking thread devolves into fighting from insane viewpoints. The "never genocide" "both sides" kind of people.
It's fucking exhausting.
But guess Reddit is imploding again. Hopefully we get more normal people to migrate this time to help drown out the nutters.
Rofl. Biden/Harris trying everything they could to circumvent the blockade to get supplies into Gaza. Trump literally saying he wants to expel the remaining Palestinians and take their land for himself.
You will never admit you were wrong. You will go to your deathbed self assured with yourself that you never compromised on your ideals no matter what actually happens to Gazian Palestinians.
If it wasn't abundantly obvious to the rest of ya'll before, these soapbox "never genocide" bad actors never gave a single shit about what happens Palestinians.
What the fuck do you expect them to do with a minority at every level? All they can do is try to get the message out.
Trump has repeatedly made empty campaign promises, yet voters take the bait every fucking time.
Pointing this out in real time is an important step.
Eh. The Gen Xers I know all admit they'd be fucked in today's housing market if they didn't already have theirs. The are generally very sympathetic and appreciate how lucky they are.
To modify this comic, they sit down for a show and are quickly horrified at the brutality of the spectacle.
Former smart TV app developer. I'm going to drive my old dumb lcd TV into the ground before I'm forced to use a "smart" TV.
I prefer casting, but for convenience for my wife, we have a fire tv stick.
I want my panels rendering, not thinking / reporting.
Stop. My penis can only get so erect.
Still the only movie I left the theater mad that I spent money on it.
Aliens capable of interstellar travel, coordinating a planetary invasion, that spent decades doing recon ahead of time, and all they do is run around naked. Ohh, and they chose a planet covered 70% with acid (to them) that literally falls from the sky.
So. Fucking. Stupid. And not in a fun way.
Best to just call it in. Even for pick up, all these online providers take a huge cut, eating the profit margin from the people actually making the food you like.
I try to only use online orders for restaurants that have their own website cart. I do sometimes resort to the big ones when I'm busy / lazy, but I make a point to try to make sure the actual restaurant gets my money, because I want them to survive and keep making me tasty food.
Meh. He'll use it as another distraction every month or whatever frequency he wants. Just like the Republicans would only approve stopgap budgets, so they can turn up the drama and claim some negotiating victories every time to just keep the lights on. It's all theater.
