Apparently the 43 people who bought Atari’s VCS console that they released and then abandoned are all in that comment section.

Revoking a degree is really underhanded.

The only thing you need to remember is that political parties, by law, cannot restrict candidates from running under that party banner. Superdelegates are how the Democratic Party leadership attempts to skirt this and put its thumb on the scale, but after the Clinton-Sanders debacle, their power was diminished.

An ideological takeover of the party is possible. It just requires progressive candidates to get elected.

Strauss-Howe generational theory

You ain’t gonna get arrested protesting in DC unless you start fighting with police or join a riot or something.

Good job taking action instead of just posting about it. Protests aren’t just about free speech, they’re also about building the muscle to take action, and building your network.

The actual URL is america2.news (whatever that is).

In this case it’s because OP got the link wrong and added a ” (smart quote) to the end, and Lemmy encoded it in the same way that international domain names are encoded (like if it includes Chinese).

Looks like they fixed it

No, he is not a good father.

1. Your entire post is about what he wants for his daughter, not about what she wants. She’s an adult woman, not his property. Saying things like “let” her use his power, “let” her be owned, etc. indicates a mindset of control and undermining her autonomy.
2. Look at his impact on her, not his intentions.

Caring about his daughter is not the same as being a good father, and enabling his behavior is not the same as being a good wife. But both of her parents have shown small indications that they can evolve.

ETA: Not sure why you replied four times to my comment, but I’m talking about his actions right now. I’m not talking about the past.

It just depends on the portfolio. Some stocks in mine have lost 25-30% for reasons entirely attributable to Trump.

We call them Vichy Democrats

I agree with Leatherface from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, that is a good way to exponentially increase his kill count

A prolonged depression might actually be the best thing for this country in terms of breaking the spell Trump has on people and realigning political parties. The biggest threat would be private ownership scooping up even more assets, so we’d have to get radical with solutions there.

$0.9 trillion is nothing compared to a $37 trillion national debt, even ignoring the fact that they just want to transfer our wealth to the rich.

It’s not “creating new equity,” it’s visiting a loan shark and putting your body down as collateral. The national parks are ours, not theirs to do with as they please.

Jesus, Trump is really in deep with Musk.

Also, the 15% stock drop is nothing compared to the decline in actual sales. The P/E ratio is still way too high, but the stock will drop eventually if this decline continues. Keep up the Tesla dealership protests too.

Vichy Democrats

A party of bullies.

I was basing it on the subscriber and comment count for each.

Most of the activity for showsandmovies is the result of like four people posting or cross-posting lots of topics each (you are one), so it seems like those posters seem to favor the other community for some reason. Posting new content is a good thing, I’m just not sure I understand why they favor the community with a smaller subscriber count.

We should avoid multiple communities around the same topic in a single instance, but this is more popular than showsandmovies (and has a better name). My suggestion: work with the showsandmovies mod team to merge the communities, but merge that one into this one and make them mods here.

Oh, I completely forgot that I also watched this (“years and years” ago) until I read the plot description. I enjoyed it quite a bit as well, but it seems to really make an effort to portray things going from bad to worse as quickly as possible. I think the intent was to shock complacent viewers into thinking critically about how politics and technology could impact their daily lives in the near future.

I expect if it was recommended to you it was because Donald Trump won re-election, as he did on the show (albeit non-consecutively), and Russia won the war in Ukraine. I think it goes a bit “broad” with its predictions after that (particularly around technology), but still interesting to watch and ponder.

I just didn’t want the top comment to be such a shitty one
