I did, but I don’t care anymore.

…I’ll see myself out. :P

In all seriousness I just don’t know if I have it in me to keep paying attention to a trainwreck that I have no control over. I can only help my local community in some limited manner, anything outside of that all I can do is vote and yell at a “representative” that is bribed to not listen.

I appreciate the kind words! Empathy is proving to be increasingly more rare in society so I appreciate you wanting to express that.

That in pretty much every single sense of the word I’m an absolutely pathetic loser.

I didn’t think I’d ever be anything special, but I also didn’t think I’d be 38 and single for going on a decade, living in someone else’s garage, working in a factory in a dead end position with no degree and not an ounce of self worth to even presume to choose a direction.

10 year old me couldn’t wait to be an adult, but after seeing me I think 10 year old me would never want to grow up knowing what I’d eventually become lol

Ughh… I have to talk to someone?

…I don’t know, maybe fascism isn’t as bad as they make it out to be, ya know?

:P

Man it’s weird how things happen. I was literally just listening to Bo Burnhams “funny feeling” this morning and he has a line about “Robert (Bob) Igers face” and I thought hmm I actually don’t get that, I don’t know who he is. Then I open Lemmy and see this lol

It was just meant to be a joke not some serious documentation of information meant to be spread as absolute fact. We’re in a comics group at the moment lol

“He’s got that totally awesome plan called Tarrifs™ that is supposed to make rainbows and sunshine come pouring out of my ass and we’ll all be happy again!”

…oh… Wait…

It’s a tele-tele-phone!

Hell my phone camera now is advanced enough that it has the ability to do “astrophotography” on its own without a telescope. The pixel series of phones after 4 has an astrophotography mode, the “ai” processing slightly corrects for star trailing. It’s been pretty crazy to just point my phone up and catch Andromeda or the Orion nebula!

That’s true and I can just plug it into my computer afterwards and do post processing!

Absolutely! Just learning the positions of everything now and being able to describe them to people during the day has been pretty awesome. “Useless” knowledge, but I’ve always loved space lol

I “do astrophotography.”

…I strap my phone to a telescope and I’ve been loving it lol

First, in many states the electors are bound by law to support the candidate that wins the popular vote in their state. The penalties may vary, but the intent is clear: to make sure people realize it is against the law in that state

Honestly this is so stupid if I understand their reasoning for existing in the first place. Unless I’m misunderstanding they were supposed to exist literally for this exact election, where the people elected an absolute atrocity of a person and “our betters” would recognize that and vote against him.

We should just do away with it if we have no interest in utilizing them for their actual purposes.

Do you think roaming bands of Leftists, marching on main streets in ever major city in the US, and taking over university commons from coast to coast, in defense of Islamic Jihadi terrorists seeing to kill half the Jewish population in the world in Israel, while screaming “From The River To The Sea” scared the bejeesus out of just Middle America, or all of it?

Well I can see where you get your news from, jeez… That’s an interesting reality.

I am hoping for a work of art. I am expecting

starfield, but with a medieval coat of paint.

They’re too greedy to build a new engine and insist on sticking with the limited creation engine so they can keep churning out uninspired copy paste crap. It’s cheaper than the alternative and they don’t want to have to learn something new which also costs time(money).

I gave up on so-called “AAA” dev corporations. I hate that they squander good IPs keeping them locked up because they own them… :(

“because it validates his assertion that American democracy is a sham—that there is no democracy. All that matters is power and self-interest. The rest is sanctimony and hypocrisy.”

…I mean… Is he that wrong? We vote for who the donor/ownership class allow us to vote for. Anyone else doesn’t even show up on the radar. There was an actual socialist candidate, literally the only place they ever showed up in “the news” was here on Lemmy. People are only exposed to those that will play ball with the ownership class.

Once someone like Bernie Sanders showed to be gaining in popularity during the primaries leading up to 2016 so-called “liberal left wing” MSNBC started running “Bernie loves Castro, Bernie loves communism!” stories to scare people into choosing someone else. One chucklefuck on MSNBC went as far as to say if Bernie was elected people “like him” (the wealthy news propagandist) would be put up against the wall, invoking the idea of authoritarian regimes and firing squads…

I’m more of a bone apple tea myself, but I hear liber tea keeps the bugs away!

Never forget that these people all genuinely believe that what they are doing is right.

I do have to admit some hypocrisy in my statement. I’m just too angry to be completely fair lately I guess, but I too have said in the past that I strongly agree with the sentiment that “no one is the villain of their own story.” I do believe that to be true.

Except some people like Musk, I’m pretty sure he knows he’s the villain.

This has had me deeply concerned. Nazi Germany was stopped. Who says what would have happened if there was no one to stop them?

At the moment I don’t believe there is anyone capable of stopping us… :(
