I think some of those purple ones should instead be labeled “If you can find a way to get it to stick around long enough for you to lick, you’ll win a posthumous Nobel prize.”

Zero responsibility, no; many did vote for him , but significantly more didn’t. If you want to hunt down the people who voted for him, sure, but I voted against him in every election knowing something like this would happen, and I’m not responsible for it. The same can be said of a significant amount of Americans. To lump us all together would be like bombing a hospital full of innocent victims to get at some members of Hamas.

Glad I could jog your memory! Yeah, I even went so far as to email the current owner of the rights to it about a sequel a few years ago, and basically got the generic “Maybe one day” response.

Try Steambot Chronicles! It’s my favorite game of all time by a wide margin, but it’s been forgotten by time. It’s a really cool adventure game with a ton of different things to do, from piloting a giant robot to playing different musical instruments in a band, to decorating your own little apartment, and a bunch of other stuff! There’s a lot of dialogue choices to make too that can affect how people treat you, and lead to a few different endings, including being a hero vs a villain. The graphics and soundtrack are great, too! I can’t recommend it enough!

He did retire. Here he is asleep in his chair like grandpa after thanksgiving dinner. Musk’s in charge now.

Sure, but that’s often after they’ve let him spout nonsense uninterrupted on a global platform.

“Man does thing everyone should have been doing to every idiot in power for decades.”

Long gone are the days where something being against the law essentially meant it couldn’t be done. You can scream that the things they’re doing are illegal, but at this point it doesn’t even matter; the law has lost its relevancy, and won’t stop or even slow down the people in charge.

People like to commit, though. They want to commit. They want to make an account and be done. The ability for established users and communities to move around is a great feature that makes Lemmy superior to other sites, but it really needs to work on making new users feel comfortable enough to stay put when they’re first figuring things out, because if a new user decides to leave, they’re probably not switching instances, they’re switching platforms.

We elected a CEO to be president, essentially adding the country itself to his business portfolio. He’s obviously going to trade a part of that power to other CEOs in exchange for favors and loyalty to benefit himself. It’s nothing more than a business deal to exploit the country and its people for profits, something all wealthy business owners are familiar with, and something Trump didn’t even try to hide his plans to do if he was elected.

There’s a reason every American was raised on the mantra of “violence is never the answer” and “if you fight back you’re just as bad.”

A criminal is the head of the governing body that makes the laws. Why even bother asking why he’s not following them?

CEO’s get money from people using their products, and Google’s CEO spends a lot of that money lobbying in order to push the government further right. It’s not a tough thing to follow. “Support” isn’t about whether or not you agree with them, it’s about whether or not you help fund their actions when you have other options that wouldn’t.

Honestly, Musk’s Nazi salute kind of overshadowed every other news story coming out that day.

Then it did it’s job.

Yeah, pointing out how someone is ignorant to science by being less ignorant, but still ignorant, isn’t a good rebuttal. It’s true that humans go on to develop as female in the absence of the androgens kicked off by the SRY gene in those who inherited it, but that doesn’t mean they’re automatically female up until that point. I’d say they’d be nonbinary, but ultimately this definition is using the embryo’s future ability to produce sex cells as the differentiating factor, so their state during conception is irrelevant to this definition, even if it’s being applied at conception. It would be interesting to know how this definition would cover someone with congenital anorchia, but I doubt anyone who respects the order would care enough to try to define it.

They say they want an efficient government not wasting time and resources on unnecessary things. What they actually want is a government that makes them feel superior to all the people they’ve been convinced to hate, in this case Mexicans and Leftists. Trump knows this, and gives them what they want so that he can get what he wants, which is free reign to exploit his position and his country for profit while his loyal voter base blindly supports his efforts to usher in their demise.

Why would we make this an Israel vs Hamas thing? It’s very obviously an Israel vs Palestine thing. That’d be like if terrorists were bombing American schools and hospitals, and the news framed it as Terrorists vs Republicans. Nobody supports Hamas, we all support Palestine.

Yeah, if (more like when) things go south for the daughter, he’s going to want her to feel safe and supported enough to call him. If she feels pushed away she might not reach out for help when she needs it, which is the worst case scenario.

This is a very good thing. If you don’t know something, you can always look it up to figure it out, but there are so many times where people incorrectly think they already know about things, so they never look them up and realize they were wrong the whole time.

I went to a Spanish immersion school, so I was familiar with the pronunciation of Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay - it’s pronounced like “mon tay vee day oh.” One day I was checking out a map of Minnesota, and I find a town called Montevideo! I pay it a visit just to check it out since it’s pretty close, and everyone calls it “monna video.” I lost interest pretty quick.
