They literally did though, in those exact words.

I said you’d use that as a distraction and not engage on any of the topics I listed and lo and behold, thats exacly what you did. Frustrating.

Ok, but no one here said that. Thats a strawman liberals put up to avoid a few topics.

Those topics you’d rather not talk about:

Is all of gaza destroyed right now or not? Were tens of thousands of innocent civilians massacred there with our help on Bidens watch?

If you admit the above then he’s a war criminal isnt he.

Bidens response to the defund and reallocate movement for justice was to ignore the plees and increase police funding, correct?

Did abortion go down on Bidens watch? Did his previous work as head of the senate judiciary committee contribute to that?

Didnt Biden carry through with his promise to the rich donors that “nothing would fundamentally change”?

Biden and Harris were not for gun control were they. Are guns just not a problem anymore in our schools? School shootings stopped?

Did the Dems talk about the issues important to the poor and middle class? They sure needed their votes.

Did Biden have the polling numbers to win at any time in the 2 years leading up to the election? And did Harris do anything to differentiate herself from what was clearly a candidate who was about to lose in a big way?

Did Biden/Harris even bother to craft and talk about a Dem party platform? All we heard was “I’m not trump”.

Do you think if Harris had differentiated herself from Biden, talked about the poor and working class’s struggles and afirmed that the gaza war had to change, she would have still lost? I dont think so. But she chose not to do those things right.

And now Biden/Harris lost but its everyone elses “fault”? come on man. Stop lying to yourself and holding a pointless grudge and leveling these “both sides are the same” playground name calling distractions from these truths. Biden and Harris made the choices that led to the loss. They are not victim here, they are the perpetrators. We all got effed by their incomptence and hubris. Every demographic of voter was angry at Biden/Harris. Do you deny that?

You shouldnt be blaming the desperate voters who have been ignored and abused by their party, while excluding Biden/Harris from any blame. Some of you lot keep saying he’s one of the best presidents ever-- when all of the above topics argue pretty strongly otherwise, if you;d just acknowledge that the topics even exist.

But you wont. You wont reply, you’ll downvote, and thats the end of it for you.

last week we were told on lemmy that all men we were legally women now and were ok to get cheap drinks at ladies night. Now we are also all gay. OK I guess. So straight guys are all lesbians now?

most other things also run in linux.

Send all of them.

The cubicles with low or no walls, so you can watch your coworkers eat and pick their nose are scarier.

It encourages the mindset that the sex act is the important thing one must conquer, not opening up and being vulnerable to a partner to share that experience with.

So, um, dont take this the wrong way but that sounds like a female viewpoint, am I correct?

If I’m right, what you cant know viscerally is that 15 year old males are unlikely to appreciate that level of nuance and I dont think its a viable target to expect that from them. The hormones rage extremely hard at 15-- its not a matter of willingness, but one of irretrievably stolen focus. A 15 year old male’s response to stimulus is extraordinary and singular. What you look for comes after age 28 or so. Maybe I’m not average in this regard but I think its fairly universal for my peers as well.

Agreed. The psychologist had no role in this and should have shut up, even after the boy died… They aired a patients issues when they had nothing to do with the act in question. Abysmal unprofessional behavior and terrible judgement on that persons part.

Its not like it could mess up the kids life. There never was any harm to be done in this particular case.

No, I moved on. The money was amazing though.

brah. You will merely break many peoples bodies with explosives in the name of capitalism, corruption and colonization.

At my job I corrupt entire countries full of children, starting at an early age. I run user bucket targetting experiments on them to get them to spend more and steer them to befriend “friends” I select for them to optimize some pennies for our network edge performance. The measurements and manipulation of their vulnerabilities never stops. I take high resolution scans of their faces that we can use for the rest of their life to identify them anywhere–all so they can change their face to be an animated fox face, or stuff like that. I hope authoritarians never get ahold of this info because that could be bad for these consumers/kids, but hopes and prayers are not exactly my job. We never delete their info because parents click through the terms of service to shut their kids up. We say we educate kids to learn to program but inside the company that concept is spoken of mockingly.

I measure and steer their temperament and engagement with new games that are open to their worst impulses, and keep them on the treadmill. I transcribe and save literally every single word they utter. I analyze those spoken words for sentiment, and to build an ongoing model of which bucket they belong in to maximize their spending. The loaner? the helper? the team player? authority truster? authority abuser? rule driven, rule antidriven? I have loot, friends, new games, and contrived self serving “bugs” for all of them to find and think they are exploiting the games without my knowing.

I teach them to get addicted to loot boxes and I arbitrage endorphin hits between their peers and from the game. I give them their entire range of their lifes highs and lows. The best and worst times of their short lives are things I hand out. The later at night it is, or the longer their session, the more loot I give them to keep them playing. Like an IV drip of drug where sometimes you need to squeeze the bag to push more through to feel that hit strongly even when exhausted, and get them to defy their parents’ calls for them to sleep.

You think darkness is your issue. But you merely adopted the dark for a paycheck; I was born into it right out of school, moulded by it. I didn’t see socially useful internet services till I was an old man, by then it was nothing to me but a different way to drive engagement and raise the value on my rsus. My legacy will be a path of human wreckage and misery, same as yours only much bigger.

Oh thank god its not just me.

Single swing batman is unsatisfying.

US freedom is made from cheap gas.

Not being Trump is basically all that was needed.

Clearly. And if Harris had maybe gone just a teensy bit more to the right she would have gotten so many republican votes, right?

I cant beleive this drivel keeps popping up a full month later.

Dude its been all over the news. Use google.
