Starfield is another good example.

Some of you may have seen HeelVsBabyface's infamous "pronouns" rant video and taken it a bit out of context. Many said he was upset at the sight of a pronouns selection option on the character creation menu. His rant actually came a few hours into playing after a series of quests with incredibly contrived dialogue.

Blow is short for blowjob.

So rather than blow the house down, the wolf instead goes to town on the chimney.

You identify as a cis heterosexual he/him and AMAB?

Good for you, you know that was always an option regardless of the LGBTQ movement?

At this rate America's 4B movement is gonna stand for "bang bang bang bang"...

Klitschko v Rogan is a celebrity fight I'd actually like to see.

Why the fuck are they using a 3D voxel banana as a hat for Snoo?

And why does Snoo look AI generated?

Sounds like 2012 era Reddit is back on the menu.

Mastodon just sucks as a user experience. Your average Joe doesn't give a fuck about federation, yet it's the whole Fediverse crap that harms the UX.

I made the mistake of signing up to a smaller Mastodon instance. Place was virtually empty aside from the lead admin (bit of a pretentious asshole) and a few other guys, and if you decide to browse the All Instances view, you're flooded with posts from hentai reposting bots. And when I saw the #loli hashtag in one of those posts I immediately noped out.

Threads is still in a really bad state well over a year later. Meta still haven't implemented hashtags and trending topics (even Mastodon has these), and my feed is full of thirst traps.

Bluesky has it all, and was created by Twitter's original founders.

A mutual friend of ours got into an argument with him because he made some new friends at his local pub and was buying pints for them left, right and centre. He took serious offence to the suggestion that they were using him for his money (he got about £120k in inheritance after his mum died) and cut both of us off, even though I never said anything to him.

I don't want to elaborate on his backstory but he had a lot of mental health problems and past trauma. After a lot of bad things happened a few years ago, he decided that he was done with life and vowed not to outlive his cats. Have tried to talk him out of it but he's set on ending his own life after his cats pass away.

I presume he's still alive, but I can't get in touch with him as he nuked his phone number and blocked me on all socials.

I refuse to believe that people would be stupid enough to expect somebody who banned people from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from even entering the USA in his first term to be pro-Gaza...

Nah, I actually think minorities voted more for Trump because the right have more socially conservative policies.

This is probably the best 100 second explanation of Java to exist.

Now is the time for Europe to rally behind Ukraine. We really should have upped military funding and arms production in preparation for this outcome.

Either it's women using filters to touch up their images, or it's AI slop being pushed to artificially inflate app userbases and make it look like there are actually women on the platform....

Bernie Sanders reflected on it stating that it was the Democrats failing the working class that won Trump the election, and people in the Democratic Party denounced him for it.

Yes to all the above, and probably a mix of bots and terminally online people getting involved. Not sure what year everyone started becoming unhinged but I think it was at least mid-2010's.

People are now being perma banned from r/pics of all places for merely posting on the Asmongold subreddit. Yes, it's become something of an anti-woke echo chamber in recent months, but it's the main subreddit of Twitch's most popular streamer.

And now we wondered why 74.7 million Americans voted for Donald Trump last week. Because maybe telling your voters that they're Nazi scum if they don't agree with you isn't a winning strategy, like the world view that most Reddit moderators have.

What's stopping him from doing a Nayib Bukele, calling a state of emergency, mobilising the armed forces and using them to coerce the House and Senate into passing laws?

I hadn't even considered that...

If his plan is to fire tens of thousands of civil servants, district justices, etc and place his own loyalists into office, then there is a very real chance he can legally intimidate the Democrats into passing constitutional amendments.

Don't constitutional amendments require a supermajority to push through?

Called it, using Allan Lichtman's own 13 keys principle (in ways that he himself overlooked), and on a heavily downvoted comment.

Where I was wrong was with how narrow the result would he. It wasn't even Gore v Bush levels of close unlike when Lichtman's 13 keys prediction previously failed. Kamala lost the popular vote to a convicted felon that tried to usurp democracy and is the reason why abortion is no longer a federal right. The Republicans spent the last few weeks crapping on Haitians and Puerto Ricans, yet won some districts with large Latino populations.

This is what happens when Democrats ignore their voter base and choose a cabal of unpopular and uncharismatic candidates to carry the torch. The bar is now so low that we need James Cameron to venture out into the Mariana Trench and lift it back up again...
