Exactly. I play lots of games (anything with a story and decent ratings), but haven't bothered with multiplayer in probably a decade. Too many children and terrible people that will ruin the experience.

Related: I wish more people would simply choose to abandon every fucking thing that is infested with abuse, trolls, propagandists, bots, or just has terrible moderation. (I recently tried Bluesky and was amazed by the innovative user-controlled moderating tools, which puts all others to shame.)

You might say... he has a (fresh) lettuce fetish. perversely huffs the leaves

Same here. Anyone new needs to let me know, email or message me somewhere else. But a lot of people need these things open, and I feel bad for them, and how terribly these things (and the rest of fed gov) are rotting.

Cards Against Humanity apparently bought a list of how the entire country voted in 2020. I bet they would know how to acquire such lists. (And I guess the fascists have lists of us, too. Fun!)

It seems like soon enough, we will all just be blocking everything except contacts from messages and calls. It is absolutely ridiculous how much spam and fraud is sent, and how easily our data is mined and sold.

To think that a Democrat (Gillum, and not even white!) was within 0.5% of governing and deleting Desantis not that long ago in the "swing state"... It's unbelievable how quickly the maga cult has polarized and zombified so many people.

Especially Latinos (+30 R vs 2020?!). Lots of "But I'm not an illegal immigrant!" when the ICE raids start up. "Sorry, your name's on the list." Off to the camps they go. Big whoops.

Likely, although all votes are not counted yet. All while getting fewer votes than previously, so he was very beatable. It seems people were just not excited to vote for Harris.

Coincidentally, a woman has never been elected POTUS, and she shifted right to embrace "former Republicans" while shrugging off progressives. Total coincidence.

Congrats to China, Russia and Israel. Ironic that Biden admin mishandling just one of these issues, even while handling others well, may lead to worst outcome of all three. Perhaps a tiny ME country just changed the course of history. In the dumbest timeline at least, for whatever that's worth.

I love that this article pops up in between others like "US votes for Project 2025 and civil war" and "Man with brain worms who eats roadkill set to run all health agencies".

Also, it will take a few days for all votes to be counted, in more populous areas, California, west coast. Don't know where it will land, but I think it's clear that D's especially did not vote in great numbers.

What might the current president do with monarchical immunity to act? Sorry, that’s not admissible.
