That’s why bg3 felt so special. For us by us at that scale

Yeah, I reread it - that was a critical missing word! Sorry!

Yeah, I hear you. Biased by personal experience and observation. Makes sense.

Btw, nice username!

This understanding is a gateway drug to atheism

So I’ve def been seeing that. I thought it only made news bc the Nintendo brand, but assumed it was the status quo with everyone.

I feel personally attacked.

I’d like to thank the mods for leaving conflicting comments up. I’ve seen too many echo chambers going up on lemmy. Appreciate you all. Also appreciate those I don’t agree with for sharing their ideas, calling me out on mine and sometimes changing my mind, and taking the time for discourse. Those who argue in bad faith, have no open mind, and pretend to have empathy, fuck yourself.

No. I don’t know that. You should Google antisemitism in 2025, and give me one reason to take you in good faith. Ffs you’re supporting the Islamic Republic. Are you that asphyxiated from smelling your own farts? Its the fucking Islamic Republic. These are not good people. If you cared about fucking people, you want to see the people of Iran out from under their tyranny. You’re disingenuous and full of shit.

Is what’s new, just visibility? Like all these Gen x and boomer rock gods and comedians that have aged poorly… If David Gilmour was never on social media, I’d never know Roger Waters is a Nazi. If victims weren’t connected in community, would we know about Diddy et al?

My first Lemmy necro!

Do you run any ARR? If so, which tunnel did you end up using? I suck at networking, always have, and it’s killing me at scale now

Each preso was literally, “they’re weeks away” … Watch the clip

I don’t disagree with you. And I hate war. And I know this will kill civilians, many more than a civic upheaval.

But the citizens do not want the IR. Hopefully silver lining is western colonial investment in rebuilding infrastructure (obvi for a price and a vig) with more democratic elections, that get them on a path back to the West. Is oil + oligarchy a problem? No shit. Resources should be nationalized and socialized across the globe, different problem.

Will there be pain during transition to democracy, yes. Will there be democracy without any regime change, unfortunately not.

I’m not saying anything happening is good. But I would be lying to say I wouldn’t enjoy watching their leadership burned to the ground. I know my Persian friends feel the same.

Not really a joke in that, having one, will probably exclude you. Might be worth the investment🥹

Really? More I look for details, can’t find much reputable. What sites do you read?

I didn’t get the teasing about the WD-40… it’s a fucking tank. Have you never watched a war movie? They squeak They’re loud. They induce terror.

Didn’t realize I clicked a link and wondered when the screenshot was going to end…

Ummm… What about not hotly congested elections?

Fucking finger berry bastards

Did nobody open a history book before two years ago? We’ve been the imperial iron fist of the West for a century. Since manifest destiny and the Monroe doctrine even.

I just came to terms with not hating our past, bc better us than Russia, North Korea, Iran, et al running the show. But bruh - we’ve got our warts. Covered in em.

Cheap consumer goods come from advantageous trade relationships. Trade is impacted by regimes, culture, military size differences, etc. Do the math. Lookup Dole and why them bananas so cheap. Need faster cheaper shipping, let’s buy Panama! The list is endless.

In spite of the speed run, the calendar is ticking quicker than I imagined. I think the vibe around the midterms when primary season kicks off, will paint a picture of what’s next.
