This has been a thing in Japan even before the population crisis. This has been a thing in other Asian countries besides Japan! What’s next? “Japan’s economy is so bad, they’re using paper for their doors!” Japan’s population and economic problems are apparent. Why does CNN feel it needs to mislead in order to punctuate it?

Oh hey lemmygrad user, funny you should mention that…

Waiting for lemmygrad to try to convince us how this is a good thing.

Right. It sound like you are just fine with it as long as its not monopolized. Or at least committed by the right powers.

Oh you mean like the 19th century, when there were several European powers carving up Africa, Asia, and the Pacific?

I mean, Putin killing Prigozhom basically signaled none of them are safe. At this point if you are going to die falling out of the sky or die raiding Moscow, the latter might have a higher chance of survival.

So does it allow this by granting immortality or by necromancy?

It’s a conundrum for me in my part of the US. Do I risk catching covid or catching hands from stupid people?

I’m glad you finally got a chance to play it. I played it back in 2020, and it was the kind of game I needed to get me through those times.

I’ve been enjoying Deltarune too. I can’t wait for the game to be finished.

Then I take comfort in the fact it might serve to sabotage whatever it generates.

I just take comfort in the fact that my art will never be good enough for a generative Ai to steal.

About a decade ago, me and my family were part of the very movement that changed the Republican party into the beast it is today. We made it very clear to party members that moderates would not be tolerated. We demonized the RINOs as much as we demonized the Democrats, the Liberals and the Obamas. By primary season of 2016, the last influences of the old Republican party were stamped out. Trump was the achievement of the Tea Party, and how it flipped the neo liberal conservative party into a fascist one.

Blame the Democrats all you want for being milquetoast, weak, or ineffective in the face of the Republican party. As someone who has played for both teams, I have never seen the same fire from Democratic voters to change their party as I have from the Republicans. There is no party wide effort to weed out Democrats who work in the interests of companies only, or are essentially Republicans with the Democrat label. There has been no unified direction for the future Democrats want to see for the US other than the current status quo.

What we did in the Tea Party, is we got involved at every stage of government. We found out who our state and federal legislators were, and if they did not stand with our views, we primaried them out. We took trips to Washington as a church, or as a young Republican’s association, and we rallied in front of every monument that they would allow us in front of. In our eyes, our goal was righteous, and we were in a battle for the soul of the country.

I abhor everything I was back then, and feel guilty for the present we have created today. But if there is one take away from my time in the Tea Party that I think could apply to Democrats is you don’t have to settle for less. By all means vote for Biden again, but you should make it clear to every Democrat defending their seat next year that you won’t be settling for spineless enablers. Now’s the time to start campaigning progressive candidates to run against them. Any progressive you get elected should be seen as a victory, and every neo liberal who loses should take it as a message that they are no longer electable. You should practice that democracy as much as you can while you still have it.

Also politicians in the 1700s: “You insulted me with your words my good sir. Now take your constitutionally protected pistol! We shall be shooting at each other at dawn!”

Turns out, the brands and the ads weren’t the reason people were sticking to Twitter.

They probably should have, but I’m glad they didn’t.

You seem pretty cool actually.

People here are mostly cool, But it does feel like more and more of the obnoxious redditors are discovering this place.

The question is do we actually want everyone from twitter to be here?

Democrat isn’t really an ideology though as much as it’s a coalition of voters. They can be anyone from Communists and socialists to conservatives who don’t align with the Republican party. The majority of politicians within the party tend to be free market liberals akin to Clinton, with a few European style Social Democrats akin to Bernie Sanders and AOC. As someone who supports gun ownership and rejects the existence of corporate welfare and monopolies, I might not identify with many of the politicians within the Democratic party. Likewise I take issue with the Republican’s stances towards human rights, the establishment of religion, and putting the legitimacy of elections into question. I might be more comfortable with voting Democrat, but the party’s platform would not be how I would describe my ideology.

Thanks. Seeing Orwell’s name attached to one of your recs is a good sign.
