No, you do not get it.
71+ Million. Yes, 71+ million Americans, decided the country’s fate last year. You are not going to skew this into a whole “blame the billionaires” spin.
Blaming the billionaires and rich yadda yadda even has its stretch. There are countless pieces of evidence that directly say that - yes - it is the people’s fault. It is the American’s fault. You wouldn’t know that because it sounds like you don’t live here and just know.
Trump did everything and I mean everything, to make him look and sound as unappealing as a candidate and retainer for presidency as possible. The guy is a fucking murderer of negligence to over 350,000k Americans during a pandemic. And STILL - Americans willingly picked him.
The sad thing is that it takes tragedies to unite a country.
When 9/11 happened, the country was united for once. Nothing mattered, two planes just destroyed 3,000 lives for everyone to see and feel. Granted, the aftermath of the matter could’ve totally been handled better in all angles. But for a while, it really felt great to feel united.
But it has been 24 years since and even that has worn off.
Nyticus@kbin.melroy.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•FBI opens inquiry into 764, online group that sexually exploits and encourages minors to self-harm121·10 days agoI expect plea deals, incompetence and tips. The FBI under Trump is insufficient.
I find how they try to make you feel like a winner every visit there as laughably bad. Always hitting the right spaces on the spin the wheel? Always getting sales? Always this and that with Temu. Okay then…
I wouldn’t ever buy anything big from Temu at any cost. They’re great for stickers, enamel pins and just general, casual level items. If you’re willing to wait however long it takes to get them to you, obviously from where they’re sourced.
Nyticus@kbin.melroy.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you could get the powers/skills of any book/game/movie/etc villain, which would be most useful?2·12 days agoProbably Metron, from the New Gods in DC Comics. Just, being able to know everything and anything with a thirst of knowledge. I’d be able to solve all of the unsolved mysteries in seconds, I’d be able to foresee so much ahead to determine what the right choices to make are. I’d be a supreme advisor and uncontested in the wars of strategy. Plus I’d get all the abilities of a god too on top of it so add that.
Nyticus@kbin.melroy.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the worst "corporate speak/buzzwords" that you absolutely hate?22·13 days agoThe whole “we’re a family” motto. I never understood why this is a thing and why it should be a thing. There is no job that I’ve ever been comfortable getting that attached to.
Nyticus@kbin.melroy.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the worst "corporate speak/buzzwords" that you absolutely hate?4·13 days agoDude, you’ve said the same exact thing 3 times.
Why’d they think shoving that awful Battletoads remake was a good idea?
Killing Floor 2 killed what interest I had in the Killing Floor series. They deliberately made it so with KF2, it took a while for the game to launch unless you’re on an SSD. However, I have an SSD and KF2 didn’t even launch faster when I installed it on that SSD.
Then they went from there to gouge out KF2 to turn it into an MTX game. Then about after hours and hours, maxxing everything, I grew tired of the game. Not to mention how stupidly big the game is to install, it was practical bloat.
So I have no hopes whatsoever that this will be even ‘better’.
Nyticus@kbin.melroy.orgto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•how to get unbanned from communities?33·14 days agoHow about look at your modlog history and maybe, um, not do anymore of those things?
Just a thought. Otherwise, deal with it.
Nyticus@kbin.melroy.orgto Games@lemmy.world•Stardew Valley creator says he might make Stardew Valley 2111·15 days agoYeah because that has gone well for ‘Terraria 2’ that the devs of that game wanted to try doing.
When you pour in so much content into the first game and do so for years, you’re already draining what could have been or would have been a sequel game.
So there’s really no point in doing a ‘2’ of either.
Nyticus@kbin.melroy.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Apple Eyes Move to AI Search, Ending Era Defined by Google2·16 days agoThat’s the real reason.
I mean, money can improve so many things. But when you have a bunch of investors and shareholders that have stupid fucking ideas in how to tank things if it means they get out squeaky clean with money, they’ll take it.
Nyticus@kbin.melroy.orgto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Google requires me to find a "verification code" from my android device in order to log in; the device in question has already been wiped (factory reset).1·16 days agoI hate getting this when Google absolutely knows that I’m the one logging in and actively using said account!
I get it, verification this and verification that, but for fuck sakes, it’s nothing but an obstacle course that drains seconds and minutes of doing.
Nyticus@kbin.melroy.orgto Games@lemmy.world•Would you like to see a mainline Pokemon game created in the old style?71·16 days agoNo.
I’d want to see a mainline Pokemon game that actually meets in the middle between experienced players and newcomers. An entry that isn’t seemingly too convoluted or stupid simple to approach, not to mention try to be interesting as a story. But I think GameFreak has long passed that point of making it interesting. Like where can you go with the story and lore after you had a generation that presented pokemon that controlled time, space, distortion while introducing what is essentially a pokemon ‘god’? You really cannot go far above and beyond that.
Nyticus@kbin.melroy.orgto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•New to lemmy. Is there a version of /r/changemyview?1·16 days agoAnd thus, failed on being the Reddit replacement it long aspired to be. Because that kind of behavior is what has already long infected Reddit and corroded it into the way it is today.
I guess in Lemmy’s credit, mind as well do it while it is fairly young.
If a social media platform cannot ever accept the possibility and probability of opinions that work against the majority, you’re effectively building a hivemind regardless of intention.
Nyticus@kbin.melroy.orgto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do we tolerate it that Luigi Mangione is being held in prison? We know its absolutely the least safe place he can be.73·16 days agoI think they’re going to try and find a way to kill him to send a strong example as to what happens to people in his place.
But then I hope it does happen because it’ll only make him a martyr.
Nyticus@kbin.melroy.orgto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•My dearest Lemmy, what is the appliance you have the most beef with?6·17 days agoIf it needs an app or internet connectivity - it can go fuck itself.
We’ve gone nearly a century of appliances that didn’t need this shit. Apps or the Internet itself will not and never will, make things easier to do tasks than they already were easier to do before.
It’s way too small, even smaller than Lemmy, to really bother.
Here’s my problem with Reddit-alternatives - they only focus on a handful of communities. You’ll have your politics, your gaming, your technology, your news .etc
But where the hell are all of the fun ones? Reddit had micro-communities in spades, that’s what it is known for. If the alternatives aren’t trying then they aren’t trying hard enough.
