This. His goal is to spill as much American blood as he possibly can. It’s what he wants for his birthday; American blood on his hands, hell enough for him to bathe in, so he can feel like a big-boy dictator killing women and children. That speech at Bragg was him trying to prime the military, and he was talking about sending in strafing runs to kill American children.

Can’t blame ya; used from Valve is the way to go if you can! Good cost savings :)

Don’t forget the lack of touchpads! Good luck with anything that isn’t controller supported on top of that

Yeah, that’s terrifying 0.0 add something like that to that flamethrower drone dog out of Ohio and we’re looking at a real nightmare.

This! And the fcking idiots who used their votes to throw a temper tantrum about Harris/Walz’s stance on Gaza are in a high likelihood of having violence enacted against them in the states or flat-out getting deported. Like they were always high on the target list, do they not remember Trump’s muslim ban? Again, stupid fking idiots who slit their own throats in protest so they could get the shoes of the people they’re angry at messy. What they’ve done is ineffective, beyond short-sighted, and self-harming. Guess we get to see if Israel decides to rip down Al-Aqsa, replace it with a Third Temple now. Wouldn’t put it past them.

It’s a reference to crazy stuff MAGA nutters have said (specifically Muppety Taylor Greene 🤢)

No problem! :) If you do opt to try making something yourself I’m sure the folks here at Lemmy would be more than happy to check it out and give you some feedback!

Maybe it’s time you made your own project (if you’re up to it) :) time to serve that quality bisque in a bowl deserving of it lol besides, things will never change if we stay the route with Jack Welch-esque CEOs running the show; we need more indie devs, more small businesses, people who want to make something great because they’re passionate, or even just folks who want a sustainable future without strangling ourselves with the noose of “line must go up” mentality.

But also that’s a metric ton of work, and owning a project like that is certainly a risk to take!

This! Consoles are losing to handhelds like the Steam Deck in terms of capability and price. This keeps up, and we might see more switch over!

Good on you for looking for an ethically sound option! Can’t speak to their manufacturing, but Valve has the Steam Deck you can get cheap, runs Linux in desktop mode (still handeld, just called that to differentiate from SteamOS). Works rather well! And Valve is nowhere near perfect, but they’re much less of an ethical quagmire than some other producers.

Great game :)

Rightfully worried IMO

Agreed! Giving up is giving in to oligarchs who have profited relentlessly off of our suffering and the defiling of our home. Stand up! It’s better to die on your feet fighting than on your knees, groveling to the rich while they pickpocket your dying corpse.

Climate apocalypse is here for us all. Wanton apathy and inaction leads only to guaranteed failure!

You need to use better sources. I see a number of untrustworthy sites here, and just a Reddit post (entirely unreliable source). Also seeing a lot of straw man arguments in what you’re saying.

Try to have some nuance; the world isn’t divided into two clean sides, and multiple parties can have hostile stances towards each other at the same time. That does not mean “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” if that enemy of your enemy is also attacking you. For example, the US killed ISIS-K’s leader back in 2015; not a friendly maneuver. (Source: https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKCN10N21L/ )

Now, Russia has actually done a lot to earn this terror group’s ire; we have the history of the Tzar’s trying to conquer Afghanistan, the Soviet Afghan War that took 10 years in the 1980’s and was Russia’s Vietnam with a massive civilian death-toll and the destruction of vast amounts of infrastructure, the wars and oppression in Chechnya, the heavy support with Russian boots on the ground for Assad in the Syrian Civil War against the civilian rebels, the ongoing extreme violence and repression of Muslims by Prighozin’s Africa Corps, and the now the forced mobilization of Russia’s ethnic minorities (many who are Muslims from Central Asia) to fight in their morally bankrupt genocide against Ukraine. China has plenty of pressure points with ISIS-K too; chiefly the ongoing Uighur genocide, hence the attacks against Chinese officials in Afghanistan.

Turns out if you do decades of terrorism against a people they might do it to you, regardless of if your country is considered “East” or “West”.

Ah yes, the people who have explicitly called the US their enemies are actually TOTALLY SECRET agents lolol jeez, talk about a baseless claim! Looks like we found our Russian/Chinese/Iranian troll in the comments doing their best to spin this as: USA bad, must be USA’s fault, west=evil.

Lmao you’ll have to try harder than that, friend.

Happily signed! Thanks for posting :)

Exciting! :D

It’s been won in the ballot box already, as recently as 2020. Each fight repeats (here we are looking at the next round in 2024), but the ballot can be won and the overt fascist candidate prevented from succeeding and rolling out Project 2025. Swing states matter most, but as we’ve seen since 2016 unexpected states can still swing their vote. And I’d much rather we handle it civilly through voting rather than go for the Huey Long fix, like happened in 1935.

I’d say preventing the rise of another web of right-wing leaders is just as important as fighting a war after they’ve claimed their power. We see ourselves in quite a similar position to the post-Great War, with many governments swinging hard right, media turning to support that, and the base for those future right wing leaders in the Americas and Europe being solidified. I’d say if anything, the way you’ve brushed this off is quite flippant.

But best of luck if the need flee arises! Hopefully if it’s Europe, it’s nowhere the Balkans. You wouldn’t to hop from a frying pan into the fire of a Russian invasion without NATO at full power with US backing (and odds are if Trump wins he pulls out of NATO).

If Trump had served 8 years we’d be in a much worse place as a nation. That’s a hot take if ever I’ve seen one.
