Wonder if this is real or just ragebait, really can't be sure in the current day lmao
Yeah, though there's also the phenomena of older folks generally being more against change and clinging in the past more, the idea being that you have less future to look forward to (since you're closer to death than your birth) so instead you look towards the past and become nostalgic about it.
Not surprising, white nationalist movements were always there but only somewhat recently they stopped using extreme rhetoric in order to get more supporters, and it's super effective. Nowadays you have even mildly exclusionary people who wouldn't have supported white nationalists spout anti-immigration nonsense online and irl, voting for the far-right thinking they're solving some issue that doesn't really exist in reality and is massively overblown.
The world is going back to authoritarianism.
The resolutions are not likely to pass; even if they did pass the heavily pro-Israel Congress, they would likely be vetoed by President Joe Biden, who has been insistent on sending weapons to Israel with no strings attached.
Yeah, this is an absolute shame. He tried doing something similar shortly after the genocide had started, but everyone else currently in power just shut him down almost unanimously.
If politics and getting into power wasn't 90% based on your wealth and connections, maybe US could have more people like Bernie trying to actually do good rather than trying to enrich or empower themselves.
My pragmatic side is absolutely disgusted with this - why would you gift a gun to your kid while living in an urban area? It makes no practical sense other than fueling this weird American obsession with guns.
I understand giving your teen kid a hunting rifle if you live in a rural area and go hunting sometimes, but not an AR in a city - it's just asking for trouble.
The problem with difficulties is that it's much more difficult to design an AI system which you can tweak and make it smarter or dumber as opposed to just increasing damage and health values, so devs will just implement the best AI they can and leave difficulties as afterthought.
After playing a lot of games that don't even have difficulty settings, I've started to believe in the idea that difficulty selection is just outdated game design and that having a single difficulty but optional areas/content that is more difficult is the way to do it. OSRS is one of my favorite examples - everyone plays the same game and going through levelling or whatever isn't mechanically demanding. However, there are bosses and challenges (like Theatre of Blood which is an end-game raid or Inferno which is an end-game challenge) that are incredibly challenging and require weeks if not months of attempts to master and finally beat, but also are perfectly skippable and most casual players don't even bother with them.
Pull the lever as fast as possible and hope that the trolley doesn't have enough force to push through the pile of people you just generated.
Then continue gambling with your newfound moral superiority
Didn't Musk unironically have a burner twitter account where he would pretend to be a 3 year old child? Grok might be onto something here
Far-left definitely isn't that - "we're gonna make sure everyone's needs are met" is literally a general leftist thing. Assuming you're trying to portray tankies and fascists, a more accurate depiction would be "we're gonna make sure working class needs are met with an iron fist and extermination of anyone potentially rebellious".
That being said, holy shit there are so many bad takes in this thread
The thing is that the neo-conservatives don't get what they want - they instead change their stances depending on what the cult-figures want.
For instance, before Trump republicans were open to free-trade, if you were to ask them about it they'd be like "yeah free trade is very good we always supported it", but after Trump, asking the same question would result in "protectionism is so much better and we always supported it".
Almost as if they look at the elites for their opinions, rather than forming their own.
Death penalty in the US and not doing it correctly, name a more fitting duo
I've read The Guardian article about the situation, and what stuck out to me was this:
Thank you Biden, just wag your finger and keep feeling "comfortable with them stopping", that is ought to give you some moral victory points which is all that matters (and not thousands of civilians being killed by Israel that's funded by US).
