To be fully transparent, the next paragraph says her team disputes that characterization.

But I remember similar articles before Obamacare was passed talking about how the admin had started assuring private insurance that there would be no public option in the final bill.

And lo and behold, we know what happened there.

Guess it’s “Mostly True”

I don’t necessarily disagree and have retirement accounts myself.

But how do we draw the line between this and buying property to rent to others? Is being a landlord acceptable as a communist if we realize we are forced to participate in the system and need the extra income?

I thought it was the New Yorker from the headline and byline styling. A British conservative magazine isn’t quite as funny, though still a little funny.

I realized people can poison their own brains by pumping out propaganda nonsense every day. And the easiest person to deceive is yourself.

The initial reactions in the comments on the .world news comms really show this. People didn’t want to believe there was even an actual shooter.

These people really have no understanding of reality do they? I mean, maybe I’m wrong myself, but to not even entertain the possibility of him gaining politically from this event…?

staunch communist, Newsom.

Lol.

16 years ago, that was Reddit for me.

Guess we’ll see.

Whoa! I thought they quit after Rapture for some reason. Love the two games I’ve played from them (Dear Esther and Rapture). Good to know they’re still making things.

Will have to give this a look.

The Chomsky sub posted tweets from an ABC reporter and MIT research associate saying he is still alive.

I swear if there was a Sight and Sound type list for games, Ico would be at least Top 5 if not first. Feel like it’s been “your favorite developer’s favorite game”.

When you’ve influenced everything from Dark Souls to The Last of Us, then it’s inarguable you’ve played a major role in the formation of this medium.

It’s because that user was banned. So we can’t see their posts. I’m pretty sure at least. It unfortunately happens to us often when there’s drama from a banned .world or other user about .ml.

Dessalines, the Lemmy dev, runs ML. dbzer0 only runs dbzer0

And it’s the same for heavily red states. It literally doesn’t matter unless you live in Florida, Ohio, or one of the other handful of swing states, but they love to act like we’re the problem for why they can’t motivate people to support their shit candidates

This shit ain’t that serious.

Bloodlust leads to war crimes.

Leftists would do well to remember to retain and value their humanity. It should be what separates us from them. This isn’t a call for pacifism, btw. It’s a call to not lose yourself in hate and dehumanization.

The difference is that before you walked up and got in line or got in early enough that you walk in and choose your seats. And your position was based on your arrival order. Now, you walk up and sorry all seats but the front were bought up and no they aren’t here yet of course. Why would they be? It used to be you just timed it so you got there 30/45 minutes before the start.

I’m just yelling at clouds honestly. It’s not that big a thing, and I reserve seats nowadays often, but mostly because I basically have to. Also, theaters are only ever crowded enough to care during tent pole releases and nowadays I just wait a few weekends.

I just find the social contact of getting to the venue when an event takes place early/on time to get your pick a better experience than choosing a seat on an app early. Probably a condition from growing up pre reservations.

Assigned seats mean you can hardly just ad hoc decide to see a movie nowadays. You basically have to plan it out. Used to be “hey let’s see the showing at 6. Ok let’s get there at 5:30 then.” Now, you go look and people already took the best seats and shows up mid preview. Or people buying literally all the seats weeks ahead of time for blockbusters.

How fun.

I haven’t seen any blockbuster on opening weekend in probably over a decade because I know the good seats are already purchased.

Also, the seating maps aren’t great.

The no seat assignments policy on SW is awesome. You literally just check in on time to get on the earlier groups through a mobile app. Click a button 24 hrs before your flight. Boom you’re in group A. B at worst. It’s straight first come first served. At worst, you can pay $25 extra for the early bird to be in the A group and not stress about check in. Then then line you up based on your spot, and you just walk on and pick which seat you want. Plus SW doesn’t charge you to check a bag.

Egalitarian shit. None of this class based, money grubbing crap. Those types of policies are the reason we have “fast passes” at airports now and then of course then even faster “fast passes”.

Other airlines are also charging you after your tickets to choose your seats and they charge more based on the seat. And charging for bags. And everything else.

Assigned seats also ruined the theater experience for the same reasons.

Why y’all gotta get me tilted by sharing these takes? Fucking hell, I should just stay off the Internet.

Gonna think fondly of the first few weeks of the Lemmy boom when leftists were still the most popular faction before .world brought Reddit over
