Got stuck playing Earthworm Jim when I was a kid. Literally fell in a hole and couldn't figure out how to get him outta there. Turned it off and never went back

Won't someone rid me of this troublesome candidate?

am I doing it right, JD? Or should I say that drumpf is going to eat your pet?

Because the NRA and republicans, silly billy. Can't let any sort of gun regulation pass, gotta get those corporate kickbacks from weapons manufacturers somehow!

Well it was only for a day, they thought they could intimidate me out of supporting the candidate I preferred. They are not perfect, but I still value a relationship with them 🤷‍♂️

Was playing DOTA 2 a while back, ended up playing against a 5 man team that included an account named "DannyMasterson." I asked if it was really him, and someone on his team gave a semi-answer like "it just might be 😉 "

So I targeted his hero, and did a lot of all chat messages about how he was a POS rapist that's going to prison, and how scientology is a cult of predators. I just know that it was actually him, and he was with 4 other scientology cunts. We demolished'em. Never saw his handle again.

I've been dealing with this for a while now. Family kicked me out of the house for supporting Bernie Sanders at one point. It sucks, because I love them very much, but they're Racist with a capital R and die-hard republicans who worship drumpf. Every time we talked they would bait me with their BS, and even when we're NOT talking about politics, it seems every gap in conversation is punctuated with all the vile things they're trying not to say.

My therapist had some great advice. Said that if I value a relationship with them, then the price for having that relationship is never discussing politics.

I'm willing to pay that price, so I told them not to bring it up anymore, and I'll do the same. It's working for the most part, though that doesn't stop other issues from coming up. But hey, that's life! Wouldn't be relatives if they didn't frustrate you endlessly, I guess?

What's the tattoo? I'm glad you were able to yeet that fucker out of ya 😅

Nobody but republicans are voting for genocide. Everyone with a conscious and brain are voting for the lesser of two evils because that's the only choice we have. You're inflammatory BS does nothing but make you seem more fringe, less thoughtful, and therefore easier to ignore.

This was posted to Lemmy yesterday, I watched it, and it's relevance just keeps relevancing!

The Death of the Euphemism

Cues up "What New PussyCat?" by Tom Jones

BWAH BWAH BWAH BWAH

WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT

WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH

Why does it need to be equal to population?

Because I was responding to the previous commenter that cited specifically those numbers.

I get what you're saying, that other cultures are not as tolerant, and when said culture pops up in a previously tolerant area, it can cause tensions. To that I'd say that we have a system of government enforcing laws in a uniform manner across a region precisely because not everyone agrees uniformly. You can't strip away the freedom to be wrong, you can only enforce rules that support equity, safety, and inclusion, and do so especially within local populations that seem to eschew it.

But also, not all migrants are intolerant. So assuming that they 1. are, and 2. will stay that way, is a xenophobic dog whistle.

Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election was not due to any erosion in support for Donald Trump. Rather, not only did Trump’s raw vote total increase, but in the key states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, Trump’s share of the vote actually increased.

Still mind-boggling and a source of great personal disgust while being a national disgrace. One can only hope that enough people have soured on him since then, after countless displays of racism, xenophobia, sexism, authoritarianism, bigotry, and incompetence. A twice impeached loser felon grifter that's clearly a russian asset should not stand a chance, yet here we are. Makes me sad.

Between the people trying to give you healthcare and secure your job, and the people trying to let your miscarrying wife bleed out in the parking lot of a for-profit hospital, some morons prefer the latter. Why? "because he's racist like me!" seems to be the deciding factor. Yes, that is why my parents are voting for him. and my mom is a poll-worker 🤦‍♂️
