Better than aimlessly searching Leather World. Lol. I need to use reverse image search stuff more...

I've no doubt they'd have lost that land one way or another, although I suppose it could have gone to the British and made into part of Canada or something.

I took another approach since I could have sworn I've seen the image before in pre-AI days; but all I managed to do was get my algorithm super confused by searching Leather World too much.

I was thinking Lemmy isn't even a real drug. It's that weird kid who hands you a paper bag to hyperventilate until you feel high.

Or maybe that shit with the whipped cream cans. Except it's whipped beans.

They're typing in the Say channel on an MMORPG?

Actually yes, that tracks.

This was and is still true, especially of elderly and children. People are so isolated from their neighbors; we saw that during COVID and we see it now.

To be fair, GTAV online made them magnitudes more money than the initial single player price. It'd help if simps would stop paying real money for fake money to buy digital cars and boats and such.

Given that overpopulation likely contributes to climate change, you're also doing your part for those who do have to live through this hellscape!

I mean, unless you play the last four decades of games in emulation... or the couple hundred thousand indie games on steam... or the other few hundred thousand mobile games or...

Oh, you mean your company profits are in crisis. Yeah. Good.

I saw a thing the other day comparing the first term of the admin to the second and one major thing was choosing loyalty over competence. Competent people undermine the evil/stupid policy decisions Trump makes, which is a major reason the first term wasn't so destructive. Hegseth is a perfect example of second term cabinet members being loyal and stupid.

My 20s were spent in grad school hoping to change the world. My 30s were spent trying to survive.

Reading the article, the guy who shot an officer with an AK probably should get time while the people who were just setting off fireworks and slashing tires, probably a misdemeanor, all things equal. (It being a government vehicle might count it as a felony, though IANAL).

The part that should disturb people isn't their arrest, but the upcharge to terrorism, which frankly has been a potential problem we've had since Bush era politics but only now getting utilized in this way. That changes due process, and if they continue to push for those types of charges, that's a problem and patriot act era laws absolutely need to get reversed if we're to ever really be safe.

That said, just to clarify those who only read the headline: this isn't the administration just targeting political opponents and calling them antifa to get them arrested. They got arrested for crimes like vandalism and assault and the antifa terrorism crap was tagged on. You're still mostly safe to participate in peaceful protests, so continue putting on pressure.
