Absolutely! Imperialism is bad when Russia does it, and when American/Israel does it.

That’s an interesting way of framing Russia ending the world in a nuclear holocaust because Ukraine didn’t want to be a part of Russia’s sphere of influence.

It would be best for everyone if Russia would stop the escalation, and I hope they do. If not, we have to find a better solution to imperialism than appeasement, because that doesn’t work long-term either.

That is a rad *fetch image 😎

Hopefully Russia ceases their invasion soon then. They could have ended it any time they wanted, but for some reason, they insist on keeping their “three-day, special military operation” going.

I’m rooting for peace. Hopefully, Russia comes around.

Yeah. The far-right border bill that aided in the demonization of immigrants we’re seeing today. The fact that so many democrats attached their name to it only served to launder the right’s racist fear-mongering about immigrants.

Fuck that bill. It’s bad policy and bad politics.

Too bad Biden put forward a far-right border bill that laundered the right-wing narrative that there’s a “border crisis” and that people are flooding in. Fast-forward a few months, and here we are.

The politicians that attached their names to that bill are in-part to blame for legitimizing the racist, anti-immigrant lies we’re hearing today.

Dems need to grow a spine and meaningfully protect minority groups instead of naively aiding the right in demonizing them.

Animals (human, and non-human alike) need nutrients to survive. They don’t need those nutrients to have come from some other poor animal, and carnists that insist that is the case are engaging in anti-science magical thinking. We can do amazing things with science, including synthesizing almost anything you can imagine.

However, last I looked around for plant-based dog food, it was pretty heavy on lentils, which I’ve heard can cause heart enlargement in dogs. Have further studies been done on this, or, have plant-based dog foods that don’t rely on lentils been made available?

I just stumbled across the modlog page on my instance, and right up at the top were like 20 logs of asinine carnists getting banned for trying to spew their fallacies here.

My sincerest appreciation to the mods that keep this community clean

The Democrats laundered the reich-wing narrative that immigration is bad and that there’s a “border crisis” when they put forward the far-right border bill that Trump thankfully tanked (for his own selfish reasons, but still good that it didn’t pass).

Now, months later, after the anti-immigrant narrative has been laundered and normalized, we get to hear about how immigrants are “eating your pets” and how Venezuelan gangs “are taking over apartment complexes”.

The ratchet effect is real. We need to stop demonizing people that were born on the other side of a border and Democrats need to grow a fucking spine and push back on these racist lies instead of enabling them.

Yeah. Piracy is alive-and-well. You can even acquire and play PS5 games right now if you wanted to.

It’s also worth noting that even Sony can’t be bothered to properly emulate the PS3, which has resulted in many PS3-era games being remade into either native PC versions, or PS4/5 titles.

While it’s true that there are still some PS3-exclusive games that aren’t available in other formats, many of them are, so most people can get pretty far without needing PS3 emulation.

I only bring that up for anyone that may think they need PS3 emulation, but maybe haven’t been made aware of newer remakes or native PC ports of the games they’re actually looking for.

God damn it.

The Green Party literally turned in a referrendum form instead of a ballot form. The judge approved what they turned in.

This fuckup is 1000000% the fault of the unserious members of the local Green Party. They may as well have signed it in crayon too.

Maybe next time, The Greens can take their jobs seriously and run a serious candidate and file the correct forms instead of whinging at the Democrats for their own mistake.

Now the question is: is Jill Stein 🤔?. The people will let democracy decide on their ballots.

This is so true. The state of gaming on the Steam Deck is great right now. Even the foreboding unsupported status is only ever really a problem with asinine anti-cheat, and that’s just like a handful of games that aren’t worth playing in the first place.

She didn’t. She just said “as a Jewish American” and whomever transcribed it added the #, I guess for the engagement, which is good because the message that Jewish people stand against ethnostates and genocide is one that unfortunately many people still need to hear.

Eww… You’re right. What a waste.

So anyway, god bless Chase Oliver, Jo Jorgensen, Gary Johnson, Ron Paul, and all other right-wing spoiler candidates. We thank you for your service o7o7o7

Also, we had this exact same conversation a few weeks ago, and it’s …interesting… that it followed the exact same dialogue tree and not at all suspicious of the integrity of your account… 🤔

I never said anything about fairness. You keep fixating on it.

US electoral politics have nothing to do with fairness. They are downright anti-democratic. Gotta play the game and make as few tactical mistakes (like voting for Grifting Jill) as possible.

I support actual left-wing parties when they’re viable, but Jill Stein and Cornell West need to fuck right out of presidential elections and end their grift. The Greens and other third-parties that run in other elections they can actually win have my support and my vote.

Not a question of fairness for me. It’s a question of if it’s more likely to bring good things or bad things. Spoiler for repugs = good. Spoiler for dems = bad.

I wish the right-wing spoiler candidate the very best o7
