Artemis II happened recently, despite all the cuts :)
If it's good, it's just a scam
I was going to say dogs break your rule but they scam me out of treats and attention so it still holds up.
The power of positive thinking.
I guess the glass is completely empty
I mean there's moisture in the air if you count that
The big beautiful obituary will be a great day.
Man the onion-style articles are gonna hit hard for that one
The bars will run dry.
I will celebrate it like a best friends bday
I get that Biden was pretty damn passive as a president, but holy moly was it just a relief for a while there to be able to completely forget the president even existed and wasn't actively destroying the world's view on the USA.
Like those 4 years were like sitting down for the first time.
If anybody cares in the future, I think Biden will have a renaissance like Carter, as people realize he was trying to do a lot of good stuff, put a lot of good people in place, etc...
It just wasn't enough, wasn't right for that moment, etc... etc... and arguably helped give us Trump again, though I think that was likely coming regardless.
What he was doing in and of itself wasn't bad, but it was ignoring the shrinking enthusiasm of the democratic base and the growing of the maga rhetoric. It reinforces the pendulum effect of letting the right wing swing back instead of giving the left a whole new momentum.

What's not to like about breaking the law to sell weapons for genocide, after all.

Biden made a ton of promises that the left wanted in order to get elected. We got inflation instead of a minimum wage increase. We got told that the economy was getting better while the price of everything but an hour's work went up. Telling people who can't afford groceries that everything is great because it's great for billionaires is a shit message from shit people.
Biden said that his decades of experience in the Senate meant that he could work across the aisle and accomplish his campaign promises. We watched members of his own party stymie every promise he made to the left, and watched people who just got what they wanted make excuse after excuse about how powerless and impotent the presidency is. After 4 years of watching trump do whatever he wanted with impunity, and just before watching biden ignore the Leahy law so he could sell weapons for genocide.
His heart was in the right place. Sure, if you consider genocide to be a virtue and lifting Americans out of poverty to be a vice.
He was still trying to play by "the old rules" too much. But had be been president in the 90s or early 2000s, he would've done a lot of good.
I do understand how little I'm saying. I just do think he deserves a tiny bit of credit for some of his efforts, that's all. But yeah, he was a wet sandwich.

I think that once he supported genocide, he lost the benefit of the doubt. And that was the most telling demonstration of who he always was and always intended to be.
Yeah, Biden has a lot of flaws, he’s not perfect, but at least he’s a decent president and a decent person. I kinda wish that he was a lot better
My bar was low: "I don't want a president that nearly sparks world war over tweets."
Most Americans seem to disagree with me.
Imagine how tired your legs are gonna feel if you ever get the chance to sit again
Watch people be mad the good thing isn't "the perfect thing"
Why are you celebrating the good thing? Whatabout bad thing #768390626?
BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani Spotted Paying Full MSRP for Windows 11 at Times Square Microsoft Store
💔
People slingshot around the moon. BuT tHe tOiLeT bRoKeee
Nawww man, we're in G.R.R.M Territory now.
Any good thing that happens just sets us up for some kind of miserable travesty.
Artemis II
First: hope so! Second: am I the only one bothered by a post that could easily have a quarter of the hight by not making me occasionally running into letters on a black void?
My guess is that would lead to cropping of the thumbnail. But it's not my creation, kinda bugs me, too.
Did Lemmy pad this image? Whaiiiiii?
No, I stole it from somewhere else and passed it along to you all unmolested.
We hope
"Hope is the first step on a road to disappointment"
Don't worry, the GOP will make all good things illegal soon enough
Meta: if you just share a bloatiful screenshot instead of just copying a few bytes of plaintext, at least crop it down to the actual content.
It'll be like that nut you have only once in a blue moon. The one where your body yeets all the feel goods and nearly pass out.
And that's just when billionaires are arrested.
Titanfall 3 coming out.
GTA 6
At this rate GTA 7 will release before GTA 6
Lmao, keep dreaming
... because gta 5 was amazing and didn't feel like a repeat of things already out there.
I imagine gta6 is going to be like a less extreme skate. where people remember a series that they once had but was ruined by greed
Grand Theft Auto game creator sacked us for trying to unionise
The in-game radio will be a cruel reminder that they're in favor of the things they're satirizing.
Can I stop taking my antidepressants if it does?
i mean sure i'm the internet not a cop.
100%. Hell, you can even stop them now in advance, if you're feeling bold!
Small caveat, barely worth mentioning: I don't have formal medical training, but...I mean...come on.
but I'm not the only one
Heated Rivalry released in this media landscape.
I've admittedly not seen it. I'm not sure I can afford to suddenly realize I'm gay in this economy. I've just got too much on my plate right now.
That scummy company is no longer involved in producing subnautica 2. It's the small things.
More liberal doomerism, nice.
