This is also the second time that he's tried this. The first time was during his previous term, and though he was forced to reopen everything by the courts, the fact that he sold some of the federal land to (I think) oil companies was never acted upon, despite it being illegal to sell public land to corporate interests.
It absolutely does need it. It's needed it for several decades at this point. Layoffs in the past few years have been higher than they were during the 2008 recession, and that's a year after year stat, not combined. Every year has had worse layoffs than after one of the worst financial collapses in recent history. Wages have been stagnate since I was in college almost 20 years ago and realized that I made more at my summer job than I could expect to make starting out as an artist in the industry, and I'd be walking in with a bunch of college debt.
Let it burn and watch the new studios built by people who make games, not corporate finance bros, rise from the ashes like new growth after a brush fire, full of passion for making good games first and foremost.
When was the last time an American was held responsible for a war crime?
In my lifetime, we've been doing them since Bush Jr was in office, and I've never heard of a single one.
Here's a video she did of a 3d printed supersonic rocket. I think it's the Mach 2 one, but I don't exactly remember:
The short of it is that the creator of Lemmy and the earliest users are Marxist-Leninists, and certain blocks of them are so actively hostile to anyone who doesn't immediately agree with them that their instances are on the auto defederation list if you were to spin up your own instance.
We're talking like the communist version of 4chan levels of users amongst the worst of the group, but plenty of the other actually reasonable communities are bitter about liberals et al being on here. You'll occasionally see posts about how the new users are diluting the quality of the user base like when Reddit started to become popular.
I feel much the same way. In the past 48 hours I have been called a pro-genocide fascist and Blue MAGA, amongst other similar things, for 1. making a comment about the aggressive behavior of Grad users and how similar it can be to 4chan users aka those who fell into the MAGA pipeline, and 2. explaining to somebody why somebody else asked them who they voted for when they made a comment to the extent of "both sides support genocide."
I came here to find a new egg_irl and traaaa, and what I've gotten is politics and leftist infighting.
As the old saying goes, "In the north, they don't care how loud you get, so long as you don't get too close. In the south, they don't care how close you get so long as you aren't loud."
I remember watching a video from a physicist who failed her pilot's license exam because she explained that and the modern theories of how airplane flight works instead of the old wingspan, weight, speed, and air density over the wings model.
Needless to say, she took the test again, gave the answer they wanted, and the video was about her building a plane out of wood about a month after she finished the launch of her Mach 2.1 capable model rocket.
That's incorrect. The Dems first ran the sitting President who vowed that he would not run a second time and waffled about for an extended period before saying he was running, and then waffled about some more before dropping out due to the extremely tepid voter opinion on his running and the Dems declaring that they weren't going to hold a primary and appointed Kamala as the candidate.
She was already a contested candidate with very mixed opinions on her track record, plus general discontent with the party leadership, and that was before the Democrats gagged her and her running mate when they found the most effective political campaign move they could ever possibly use against Republicans when they called them "weird," and then the Dems shot the campaign's legs off when they started dragging around conservatives to speak at campaign rallies. In places where they had people like Cheney speak, the Dems dropped a full 3-5% in the polls afterwards compared to before the campaign speeches.
Kamala herself definitely played a part in it, as did sexism, but truthfully the Democrats, like with Hillary, looked a gift horse in the mouth and started sifting through the pile of horse shit behind it for "moderate conservatives." I bet if they had run a candidate like AOC and, you know, actually appealed to their base instead of avoiding talking about the things that their voters cared about, things would've been rather different. But they'll never willingly run an actual progressive, so we'll never know.
Hell, there were (are still?) segregated schools up until around 2000. I know at least one wasn't set to desegregate until sometime in the 90s.
This got me thinking: How is this any different from the ending of the books?
Harry becomes a magic-cop and goes on to uphold the draconian institutions that enforce goblin slavery and Muggle oppression/classism.
This is making some heavy assumptions about what the average MAGAT knows about Jesus. As far as most of them are concerned, Jesus' favorite gun would be an AR-15.
For them, the Bible is merely a thick paper tweet to be used to smack anybody who disagrees with them like a cartoon character smacking a dog with the newspaper.
