Guild wars 2, large world, lots of variety in scenery.

Also can try stuff where that’s the point like Wildmender is about healing the land and chill, or eastshade. Which is just about enjoying the scenery.

Man thought the Barbie movie was a documentary and is ready to nuke the country Mattel for making a woke movie in their country.

It can be an issue with the people starting these challenges while also being an issue with the way tiktok works with sharing these copycat videos on the platforms algorithm.

I don’t think “omg tiktok bad” but in the case of these dumb challenges, it is one of the few things I can see people actually pointing at when saying tiktok is bad, rather than “but china.”

Yes but without tik tok this is a kid or two being stupid and charged a couple hundred at one school. I think we had 3 kids today at school destroy their laptops.

You should read (or watch) the Hogfather by Terry Pratchett. May help explain.

I assume you’re confusing me with someone else? I did not say I voted for Harris.

People who want to get elected’s job is to get people to want to vote for them. A national party then is supposed to… be a party people want to vote for.

Anyways, the long term plan is mostly, remove money & attack ads from politics, including post political job bullshit. Stop first past the post. Educate people well. Including on the internet and computers (we REALLY need good legislation on it but without people actually understanding it… that’s not easy) Get people to actually care about their own communities, and get involved, including in politics, school boards, etc. (And well, plenty of other things to change, much I have not sat down and formalized a plan for it because there’s not much point in fantasizing a world that’s not trying to destroy itself for profit. Mostly what I can do as a teacher… which also involves a lot of pushing my school to offer things. ) But the DNC is actively against a lot of that. Voting for them will not fix it.

I can say you’re only concerned with short term and willing to lose the long term, while also saying I understand the short term is fucking terrible and it suck’s but it’s only going to get worse if people keep supporting the parties that got us here and are happy to be here. Because people have been saying this shit for like 50 years… and here we are, at it being worse.

The DNC’s literal job is to motivate and energize voters. Blaming the voters and not the DNC is like yelling at a Taco Bell employee about them removing potato’s from the menu as if the fucking cashier has any say what corporate does.

Literally just said I know it’s bad. Not implying it isn’t. I’m saying the DNC has been actively working towards this even being possible for years. Because they only need to run hitler -$50. And they’re happy with that. They would rather lose to Trump than lose any money. And that’s why people stop voting. And that’s why Trump is fucking even possible.

I’m just fucking tired of people defending the DNC. They’re just as big of a part of the problem as republicans.

You’re only worried about the immediate future. Which, yes, is bad. But many refusing to vote for the DNC are doing so because they’re complicit in enabling this bullshit political atmosphere where people are so tired of bullshit politicians who do shit like break a record to “stand up to trump” and then vote to confirm his appointee. So they either give up on voting altogether or are willing to vote for a literal dictator and the DNC’s response is to fight harder against progressives than it does trump. Then in response to losing runs someone whose message is “nothing will fundamentally change.”

So, yeah, if people had completely abandoned the DNC like they should have, maybe we wouldn’t have ever seen it get this bad. But they’re happy with it this bad. They get to pretend they care and keep making money. So yeah, there are plenty of people who refuse to vote for them because they’re happily helping to destroy democracy. (Including suing to remove 3rd parties from ballots, yay!)

Okay minimum wage+50¢, woopie. It’s someone’s first apartment. For rent. This is not median levels of income. This is first quartile at best. Median income shouldn’t even be renting.

But sure, they have data on quintiles, so let’s use upper limit of the first from 1985 (~10k) and 2022 (30k) is 3x so even at that, it should be $930. https://taxpolicycenter.org/statistics/household-income-quintiles

The data is on household incomes which is less ideal than individual income but whatever.

Ignoring if it’s the same apartment from the 80s to now that’s 40 years older, and I doubt it’s been kept up to date, so it should not be worth anywhere near as much, but you know, whatever.

Ok and assuming this person was probably in the 80’s where minimum wage was about half what it is now… that means the $310 should be $620… which it isn’t.

Listen man I would eat fried broccoli like wings too if people would serve it. Fried broccoli is good as fuck.

No, the DNC is why we have trump. It’s on them.

Obama wasn’t perfect at all, but his platform was at least change and progress. While he was originally against gay marriage he did listen to the public and change for re-election. If the DNC listened to the public instead of fighting against progress that would be great. But like… Biden was the throw away to conservatives for Obama’s VP to “balance out” Obama being progressive….And now he was their best idea on what to do for a better future? It’s pathetic, and demonstrates the above.

No one is trying to say Biden was worse than trump. They’re saying the DNC is what even allowed trump to exist, by being greedy fucks who care more about their handlers than the American people and running the worst candidates they can. “Nothing will fundamentally change” is the dumbest, most “fuck you don’t bother to vote for me” fucking campaign I’ve ever heard.

Ah, yes, let’s make laws specifically banning 2-5 children from ever having fun.

Like… what the fuck is wrong with you that you think a law targeting under 10 people in the entirety of the US is justified and not literally just bullying those kids on a national level to hope they fucking commit suicide? A law to tell 5 kids, specifically, that fuck them and they’re not allowed to have fun is god damn crazy.
