I've left most of the trans subreddits since the election because of the rampant fearmongering so I think you're on to something

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

IDK who needs to hear this but the "you have to adjust for inflation" bit isn't the zinger you think it is.

Because you'd also have to adjust for inflation in shelter, utilities, medical, insurance, f%&(ing food - and then you'd realize purchasing power has fallen as wage growth hasn't kept up.

Type of fit you’d wear to reveal an Xbox exclusive first person shooter on stage at E3 2012.

I'm Begging You, Please Do Not Buy The Lenovo Legion Go 2 For $2,000 – There Are Cheaper Handhelds, I Promise.

Can we just stop. It's a good handheld, there's no universe that it's worth $2000 or $3000.

A lot of people apparently really like the combat in Pragmata but im not gonna lie, needing to tap out a million buttons every 30 seconds or so during a boss fight is low-key the most tedious bullshit

you always have to ask why if the character who is ageless or 100+ year old is always chosen to look like a little girl

Please stop saying TACO. We’re talking about an ungodly number of people who could die or maimed. It’s not time for cutesy little internet slang. We have to get away from this bizarre desensitization.

Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment

i say this often and i believe it. it got kind of uncool, during the obama era i think, to be anti-war because war itself is barbaric, unjust, and outright evil. but it is, and you can oppose war on those grounds alone.

You 🫵🏿 have the solemn duty to be the lefty bleeding heart wokescold in your family group chat by urging everyone to call their reps.
Find their representatives.
Write scripts for them to make it easier to make the call.
YOU ARE NOT POWERLESS.

I keep seeing folks saying real writers enjoy writing or if you don’t like writing then don’t be a writer and I dunno. There’s no one I know that hates writing more than writers.

I think it’s more “if you don’t want to accept that writing is torture and do it anyway then don’t be a writer”

Nope! There will be plenty of people there that are less familiar with the game. Easily the most laid back sanctioned event
