And this situation is a stronger reason.

The girl has gone through every reasonable and righteous option she could of.

And the authority of all of those matters - failed her. So what was she left with? Punching the abuser. Now they’re all like “WHUH?! OH MY GOD! U CAN’T DO THAAAAAAAT!!” despite them practically IGNORING what was happening. What did they honestly expect? For her to own it?

That’s a very poor comparison you made there.

The specs do not impress me for a company that prides itself for being technologically creative. The Steam Deck was a massive success for what they were able to do with that. But this? This is like a glorified Raspberry Pi if it was done by Valve.

Even if you could expand the RAM and storage, everything else is just sitting there waiting to be obsolete in a couple years. I just don’t get who they’re trying to make this for. You can easily build a PC with a reasonable budget that could easily tackle things this cube probably couldn’t.

Individuals who game, are more likely going to look at this wanting all of the latest AAA games to work and I don’t see this cube doing the workload for long. And for the projected price point, it definitely won’t be worth the price.

You know, I wouldn’t be surprised whether we’ve been consistently eating or sparingly eating UPFs, that we’ll all get cancer or some health issue. We’re all gonna die from it one day or another.

The same level of logic where the bully is somehow not at fault for when the bullied finally stands up to them.

Not that I’d know from personal experience or anything growing up from how many times it was somehow my fault for retaliating.

These are the kinds of people where if Jesus Christ actually came back, touched upon earth again with all of his glory, they would still believe of him being of just some homeless person pretending.

They’re the kind of people who love cherry-picking bible verses and still wouldn’t have a clue as to what they really mean. Only picking them because ‘well it just sounds nice and sounds like me and whatever muh values are’ the kind of values that change just as much as Trump’s does whenever he so much manages to go take a dump, toilet or diapers. Whichever.

That’s what some of the founding fathers of america would want us to do. There’s no ounce of true patriotism in politicians today and for a while.

More like almost nobody wants to admit that they took part in it or lucas himself greenlighting it.

Let’s see…

Dodged not one but two impeachments which should’ve done it for him. Is an active felon, hasn’t served jail-time. Allowed over 350,000 Americans to die to a pandemic that was horribly mishandled because of him.

If neither of those things have done him in, which should have for anyone else, the rotten piece of shit is going to die comfortably. He’ll be able to leave office peacefully, if that’s assured, without serving any repercussions for anything he’s done during his first term and second term.

What a fucking pathetic world and country.

I took up the stance of - I would rather be minimally informed than misinformed. Anytime I saw a peak of the news, it was just a bleak reminder of how shit this country has gotten and let itself sink to. Anything short of knowing Trump has finally died or anything, won’t suffice. The good news I hear about aren’t good enough, like knowing some animal species is discovered or some child recovered from an injury or something. It’s like a water drop to me compared to knowing how utterly shit everything else remains.

Distraction is a tool necessary for these kinds of mental issues. Don’t got enough, mind wanders and you feel miserable about everything.

You just haven’t said anything that they consider the ‘wrong thing’ to say. That’s all.

Trust me, once you do, you’ll know.

Ah yeah sure enough. “Hur hur, they mention downvote so we downvote hruhur!”

You can blame it on Spez and who he has allowed to be in charge of moderating the subreddits that control wherever this shit-flinging fest is happening at.

It began with Eggs. Yes, eggs. A lot of voters thought if they brought Trump back, he’d lower the price of eggs. So he got in, the prices of eggs remained and eventually he told everyone to shut up about them. Now that eggs are back at a reasonable price range, there’s issue after issue with him.

I’m going to link something that details and tracks every little thing he’s done right here Trump’s Crimes

But Trump is merely the symptom of a even greater problem. Because people asked the very same question when George W Bush was re-elected in 2004. They asked that again when Reagan was re-elected, they asked that when George H.W Bush got a term. The Republicans are going by the playbook of taking advantage of out-of-touch individuals in the country, particularly rural voters, and playing up to them about their concerns. A lot of people in the country are largely single-minded voters, who believe, if they got X in the office, they will take care of that problem and almost let them have free reign at anything else.

And this kind of mindset is damaging, only amplified the day Trump got his first term. At the time though, I still liked to have believed that the Democrats blindsided Bernie Sanders who was gaining momentum and was for the people (both times he tried running anyways). And the DNC didn’t want that so they pushed for Hilary Clinton to take the nomination. And the people who been following and tracking, took great offense to this (even though they could’ve just said ‘Fuck you’ to the ballots by writing in Bernie anyways, like I did, just not enough of them cared to) and decided to just throw everything upside down by having Trump in office.

We suffered for 4 years of his chaos then, then by the time the 2020 elections rolled over, we reluctantly voted Biden as a means to put at end to the-then madness of events of Trump’s first term. We saw some progress but not the kind of progress we expected out of Biden, who didn’t have all of the tools necessary for someone having been beside Obama. And when the 2024 elections rolled around, there was this massive uptick in MAGA/QAnon/GOP/Nazi movement going on that was allowed run unchecked and they have been doing their damage. Sure enough even with Harris plugged in at last minute for the few months left of campaigning, the 75+ million uninformed, deranged lunatics from the aforementioned movement got Trump back in.

And the chaos has resumed, more harsher than the first term.

All of that doesn’t matter. The fact of the matter is, is that they all knew to an extent how bad the planes were. They allowed dozens of lives to die at that expense. If your poor and negligent behavior is taking lives away, you are held accountable and should face the maximum penalty. You’re technically a murderer.

People don’t join Reddit to partake in things politically. The real attraction is how numerous that there are of communities anyone can join, that covers just about nearly anything anyone has ever thought of. It’s almost endless. There’s a community for someone out there and there’s interaction in them.

The problem was when people got fucking politics into their god damn heads way too damn much that they practically ruined everything for everyone everywhere. And I find it ironic that you call it a right wing propaganda machine when the last time I was there, there were volumes of these right-wingers complaining up and down how Reddit was left-wing.

But that’s just an example too of how damn contagious all of these fucking politics has gotten everything.

Yeah I know any and all accounts I’ll ever make on Reddit will immediately be shadow-banned. The old trick of making a new account through your usual email, going on AskReddit, get a few karma points to be in the clear and be on your way is no longer working.

I’ve been on Reddit for 10-ish years so I’m pretty sure they’ve long caught on to all behavior patterns. It is ridiculous how much shit gets allowed while you feel like you’re the one targeted and banned for being the one playing by what rules there are, as fucking loose as they are.

I can appeal as many times as I want but I’m never getting a response back, because they know they have me by the IP and that’s essentially all that they’ll ever need. They see me make an account through my IP and it’s like “ohp, there they are again…BAN!” kind of deal. I’ve undergone a complete PC reinstall of Windows to erase all and any of those evercookies they’ve been practicing to keep those who try ban evading away, still the same thing.

Doesn’t matter what e-mail service I use, same thing. Could have gone VPN but I think that didn’t work either at one point.

It has just simply gotten ridiculous. And with Spez there, the shitstain, being a proclaimed billionaire now off the backs of everyone expendable, why should he give a single shit about retooling anything? He’s done away with APIs that were useful, that was the beginning of the end there if there wasn’t before.

I know someone mentioned a method in the comments here as to how to circumvent everything, maybe I’ll try that, I guess. Yeah I should be the change and whatnot for the Fediverse but we’re 2 years into the matter and I’m not seeing any substantial progression. I see hundreds of potential magazines just float around, dead. While there’s like 20 Technology ones, 30 Games ones, 25 more Tech-related ones .etc .etc that make me roll my eyes because it only tells me where the real priorities are.

When the Fediverse should be so much more than that, because Reddit still outclasses it by how many niche and relatively active microcommunities that there is.

Yeah - Trump.

Are we winning yet?!

And it’s undergone like one remodel already, 5 years in. So, it’s going to get another remodel about 2 or so years down the road, signifying again how close to its end it would be. Then we’d get an announcement about another 2 years from Sony themselves about the PS6 and whatever else.

Then the PS5 will eventually cease.

VPNs are dirt cheap. How can you say you can’t afford one? What is your budget, $0.50?
