Stay on the phone until you get a person, talk to them for a couple minutes, when they ask for some piece of information say "hang on I need to go grab it" and place the phone down. Waste their fucking time.

These people call hundreds of people every day. If each of these people waste 3-5 minutes of their time that's going to waste their entire day.

the peak of the massive recession Trump has set up to happen next year.

The recession is already happening, Trump just cancelled the reports to hide it. It will become more obvious once corporations report less profits than anticipated over the holiday season.

As usual in America, nothing will done until it starts hurting the Corpos.

Ask an LLM how many 'r's are in the word 'strawberry' and tell me it has any actual intelligence behind its output.

the Justice Department is weighing how to bring federal charges against the shooter, including under a novel legal theory that it was an anti-Christian hate crime

authorities have produced text messages from the suspect to his partner saying he was motivated to kill Kirk because he had “enough of his hatred.”

So they're straight up saying that American Christianity = Hatred.

"We can't resist them. Resisting would give them an excuse to do the thing they are already going to do."

Yes, most billionaires keep quiet. Doesn't change the fact that just because they are billionaires that doesn't mean they can't also be complete idiots.

When have they ever tried to hide it?

Only videos, but they don't seem to be stupid.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump have proven that intelligence, competence, and charisma are not important factors in someone becoming obscenely wealthy.

Violence is not a biological need.

You are clearly not familiar with the vast majority of animals on earth. The capacity for violence is very much a biological need, even if just to defend ones self.

Sounds like the US has a shitty system and they should improve it. None of that is relevant to actually developing a third party however. There is 1 single president but (theoretically) needs support of the House and Senate. Recalls and budgets are irrelevant to the issue of only having 2 parties.

No, I was not encouraging people in the US to vote 3rd party in the last election. But now is an excellent time to start working on some 3rd party candidates for 2028.

 

I haven't played a Metroidvania in a while and I'm looking for suggestions of some good ones to try. Some I would recommend:

Ender's: Lilies (Magnolias is good too, but play Lilies first. The setting and theme hits better.)

Ori and the Blind Forest / Will of the Wisps (Will of the Wisps did bring a tear to my eye)

Monster Sanctuary (a creature capture metroidvania)

Any system is good, interested to hear of other good ones that are out there.

Received a text from a pollster asking me who I'm going to vote for, is there any good reason to respond?

 

This is a weird one.

I am subscribed to Risa@startrek.website When browsing on my phone I can see the thumbnails just fine. When browsing on my desktop ublock origin blocks the thumbnails and avatars, but only from the startrek.website instance, and only when I'm accessing it through Lemmy.ca

If I go directly to startrek.website I can view everything fine, and other instances I am not encountering this issue with. Any idea what might be the cause? I am using Firefox.

 

I can go to the main page of a Lemmy instance and see whatever is active on that instance at the time, but is there a way to get something like r/all for all federated instances?
