It’s worse: the US president’s only remaining power will be military. And when the only tool you have is a hammer…

WWIII is not a meme. It is imperative that the American people correct the course of their nation before it is too late.

My brain read this to the tune of Gangnam Style

It looks like it’s only the Ferd Fteenthousand having trouble. I’m down for road infrastructure being hostile toward oversized vehicles.

Not enough room for a 3.5mm audio port, but we absolutely must have a 50MP dual camera plus TOF sensor!

It is when I have the marketers stand behind me during product demonstration so that the transferred momentum propels them to their rightful place in the cold infinite void

My cats like to announce loudly when they are done pooping. It’s a very specific and audibly differentiable meow, like they are notifying me to come clean up. 😂

I don’t think “decentralised” is the word y’all are disagreeing on. Define platform. Because I think the “platform” you’re talking about is the technology underpinning Bluesky (AT Protocol), which is decentralised, and others here are talking about the Bluesky “platform” itself, as in the service which is a single, centralised implementation of AT Protocol.

People used to think the moon drove people crazy. Turns out it was the sun the whole time

You forgot roadwork

Oni had such a cool combat system! There aren’t enough single-player action games with this type of combat depth IMO. This video (YouTube link) does a great job explaining it in detail.

Re. EV series ports - check the first link in my previous comment ;)

And I had the same experience with Endless Sky when I first found out about it some years ago. It has gotten a lot of updates since then, but I am holding out for a 1.0 release

Escape Velocity and its open-source spiritual successor, Endless Sky.

Cool, serrated catheters

I was just failing to point out the non sequitur in the OP. You’re 100% right

No! It’s a nonsensical viewpoint, like the OP. I really didn’t think I needed an /s for this.

Yes, Americans voted in a fascist government, but that doesn’t mean that having democratically elected leaders is a primary cause of the problem. Likewise, while it is a real, quantifiable problem that their constitution allows everyone and their emotionally unstable teenaged kids to carry around deadly weapons, the that right being exercised in support of said fascist government does not make it a primary cause thereof.

As you say, the prevalence and influence of social media is more relevant to the US’ current situation, but honestly there are a ton of critical factors and everything is so complicated and oh god I’m getting way too worked up over a stupid showertjoughts post and I just need a drink and a hug. Sorry for ranting.

It’s interesting that voting rights were sold on the basis of instituting democratic government. They seem to have caused and supported fascist government.

Edit: /s

I’m not sure all of those generalisations hold up, but I think it’s safe to say that some people immigrate to a country because they want to live there, and some immigrate because they want the benefits associated with living there.
