“Technology is making the world worse. Nothing good has been invented in the last 25 years.”

@SwannMarcus89 Tying into the first one, IIRC, the 1994 crime bill was quite popular with Black America, and our big crime drop started under Clinton.

Let me give you major issues that hurt the Democrats 1. Anti-law enforcement progressive attitudes. This is incredibly toxic among men and the working class. The Democrats have lost multiple swing state elections entirely because they said stupid shit about cops in 2020. They might wind up losing Michigan over the same issue this year because El-Sayed gets extremely crotchety when questioned about his comments on this issue and doesn't seem capable of answering questions on law enforcement in a satisfactory manner. Not only are men generally pretty supportive of law and order (not to sound too chauvinistic, but I think this is partly due to men actually having a better understanding of the omnipresent risk of male violence than women have, since we see the threat from the inside), but a lot of men are - get this - employed in law enforcement, meaning in addition to progressives having bad crime policy, they are actively threatening high-paying male jobs. Which segues nicely into issue number 2. 2. Anti-productivity ideology, which actively costs men employment. The left-wing of the Democratic Party in particular is entirely about redistribution and is actively opposed to work. A strong majority of men and non-college voters don't like lazy douchebags who treat working an office job like hell on Earth. On top of that, the Democratic anti-productivity beliefs (they're much more NIMBY, much more anti-mining, much more anti-productivity of every sort) specifically costs men and the working class jobs. Why should a construction worker ever vote Democratic when the Democrats oppose letting anyone build anything anywhere? Why should someone who works in energy vote Democratic when the Democrats are increasingly opposed to all forms of energy production, since they're anti-oil and anti-nuclear and are also opposed to the mines we need to build solar panels and wind turbines? As they've moved left, the Democrats have become increasingly hostile (often for no discernible reason) to specifically non-college male forms of employment and then they're shocked that specific demographic hates them 3. Inflation/unaffordability. Stemming from the above, the more progressive an area is the less a working person who doesn't have a trust fund can afford to live there. Even if a poor person voted Democratic at one time, I absolutely believe the Democrats lose voters because when someone moves from California to a far more affordable red state they suddenly look around and think "holy shit, why did the place I left suck so hard?" I honestly think this is part of why when people leave blue for red states, they generally don't make the red state more liberal. Tennessee's boomed for 20 years and has just gotten more conservative. If you move to suburban Nashville from the West Coast why would you ever choose to vote for the stagnation and unaffordability of the place you left? All of these issues have gotten worse as the Democrats have moved left and that's why they have hemorrhaged working class and male support. It has nothing to do with Democrats not giving off manly vibes or being insufficiently hostile to trans people, you out-of-touch partisan dorks

Vaccines are good. Markets work. Criminals belong in prison. Ukraine is right. Hamas is wrong. Fascism is wicked. Socialism is dumb.

@LilithLovett For me, my Current Year gaming has been PC and Switch since 2019, and I don't even bother looking at anything else. I love the customisation of PC, though I'll curse Sam Altman to the end of time for jacking up hardware prices.

It's looking like it, I honestly can't imagine spending $1000+ on a console where I'll need to pay a $80 per year subscription just to access the internet I already paid for + Paying $80-100 for digital licenses from one store. May as well switch to my PC full-time by that point

@ShitlibSupreme Congrats!!! Doing that in any Final Fantasy game seems tough and time consuming, so props to you for doing it! I think I mentioned that my dad is an OG FF fan, having boxed copies on NES and SNES before FF7 was a thing. I remember when he'd print walkthroughs from CompuServe.

I got platinum on Final Fantasy V!

@mattforney Hypocritical Retard

@harmless_user They will be joking about dnb and tnd everyday but the moment someone say anything back they will start acting like that

@kitty_bit_games The only Halo I've played was the very first one, but....being on a kick of military science fiction literature, I checked out a couple Halo books from the local library. Ever read them?

My played copy and my wrapped one.

@SpillTheMemes I wouldn't wanna walk into that room without at least a bunch of Colonial Marines (and even then.....)

😂

@ScottApogee "Scenerio"

Apogee then made the sequel.

“Which is why I today support a movement that has as its number one priority reducing immigration.”

The most advanced technology in the world has progressive views and conservatives’ only takeaway from this is to get mad.

@AvoidTIMtation Even in the post-Endgame MCU, where I've struggled to get consistently engaged, I at least loved Agatha All Along, Wakanda Forever, and Fantastic Four: First Steps (even got the comics for that one!), but Doomsday......just doesn't really interest me much at all.

Next week?? Come on now lmao

This post lives deep, deep inside my brain

@jhduval @MaxwellFrostFL "mAxWeLl fRoSt wAs rIgGeD"

@MaxwellFrostFL Interesting. Ossoff and Warnock claim the same lie. I like how you don't deny any of the other accusations though. Very honest of you.

I got the most votes

@Fat_DTEA @agraybee That's pretty much how I feel about it as well. The library challenges are a little hyperbolic, but still present, but if it also gets more people to read, I'm not gonna complain. Especially since The Other Guys have just straight-up dishonesty, instead of mere hyperbole.

@agraybee eh, i get it, but if it gets people to read it's fine imo. the lib/left can be a little annoying about books, but we're the only ones advocating for them at this point.

I get that the whole banned books thing is an attempt to make a Western Canon For Cool People, but it can't have this much overlap with the actual Western Canon.

@janecoaston As much as I love, say, 486-loaded MS-DOS computers, Wing Commander, Pearl Jam, and the end of most communism, a quick look at FBI crime stats of the day makes me glad I wasn't an adult in the 1990s:

it's so crazy that people in the 1990s were nostalgic for the decade during which they were a child and/or a hot young adult, what are the chances

@XAVIAERD youtu.be/8MMa1zzRlUc?is… This is the moment when I realized I never liked Xavier PedoRusseou or whatever

This was the exact moment when I realized WHY I never liked formerly-charting artist Lizzo. Instead of cherishing the opportunity to take a photo with the Queen, she tried soooo hard to out-mug Nicki Minaj—just to end up looking constipated… Immediate Karma for zero humility!
