I continue to live because the goal of the system you described is to kill us. As long as we still breathe, they haven’t yet won completely, and we still have an opportunity to chuck spanners into the gears to try and slow the enshittification. The bastards in power are the smuggest, shittiest, most vile excuses for human life on this planet, and any drop of satisfaction we can deny them is a victory.

It directly generates profits, they’re just too stupid to understand how.

Won’t happen, or at least won’t be useful if it does. Lotta Chinese authors are faking data for the sake of the CCP and their studies don’t replicate. If that takes over, it’ll be like a global Dark Age.

Methinks they’re going mask off because we’ve reached their endgame. The scariest part isn’t even Project 2025, it’s what they’ll implement after they obtain total control.

Praying to the great Ronald McDonald in the sky that the McRib comes back and gets him before that happens.

The very sad news is that the most likely owners of those smaller countries will be corporations ala banana republics.

Make America Cyberpunk Now!

It’s stupid only because they try to rationalize it.

Comics Thanos just wants to commit genocide so his crush notices him. That’s also stupid, but he’s a big purple space alien so what can you expect? Using a magic space glove powered by stardust and wishfish to kill half of all life as an incredible gesture of his devotion to Death makes internal sense.

these are the greatest receipts I could ever dream of.

Yeah, Trump is stupid, but he’s also self-centered. He’s gonna care about making himself a dictator eventually, but he’s got a lot of vengeance to start with. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to hope that we’ll still have elections by 2026, and that there’ll be a moment to throw a stick in the spoke.

You’re starting from a flawed assumption. It’s more like “Oh boy, the DNC made the decision to ditch Biden and run someone slightly progressive, how exciting,” to “Why hasn’t she called it a genocide, is she going to be any different on Israel than Biden,” to “Why do they keep insisting the economy is fine directly to the face of people who are currently suffering,” to “Why did we even bother ditching Joe Biden if Harris isn’t going to make any changes from him,” until finally “Liz fucking Cheney? Seriously? Fine, just tell me to fuck off before you take my $20 next time.”

I think a lot of people were very invigorated to vote for the Harris/Walz ticket when it was first announced, and then little by little that energy was whittled away.

I think trying to avoid your own children is self-defeating. If your kids are falling for this shit, it’s ultimately your fault as the parent, and it’s your responsibility to pull them back out of it.

It’s said that history repeats itself first as a tragedy, then as a farce.

On the one hand, really hate the reason for the delay. Clearly this is Microsoft just looking to make specific financial quarters look good.

On the other hand, Obsidian games have just about always shipped with a bunch of jank. Considering this is meant to be their big push into the action RPG genre, it would be really nice if they could ship something that “just worked,” and this delay gives them a lot of extra time to polish.

Eh, it’s about right for goblins though. Their racial mount is a motorcycle and they’ve built mechs, it’d honestly be weird if they couldn’t make cars.

Would there be dragon’s that fear humans in the same way arachnophobe’s fear spiders?

god could they just do one thing right with this franchise? Thanks for falling on the sword for us, guess I’ll have to hold onto my pirated copy of OG Warcraft 3, since I can’t download the one I legally own.

It’s one of those things where scientists discovered something interesting and novel, and then a bunch of dumb grifters came in to try and make it their new snake oil.

A very, very long time ago, back when Bitcoin was viewed as a currency instead of an “investment” platform, Bitcoin kinda fulfilled the ideal use case for the blockchain. I think now the general public is just too soured on them for that to ever be the case, unless Elon makes Bitcoin the new currency of the U.S…

Sure, why not? America is rapidly turning into a tinderbox, Biden would at least be incredibly based if he lit the fuse. It’d certainly increase his status in the history books, because right now I imagine he’ll look pretty goddamn stupid.

Apparently even when they have millions of dollars more than their opponents, the DNC refuses to do anything they perceive as wasting money.

Honestly, I’m kinda impressed that it was only 52.

Also if anyone wanted a list of which Dems you should try to replace with third party or independent leftist candidates during the 2026 midterm elections, here it is.
