When the walls slouched

This is a large gathering. I think they’ll want to keep the vests on, equip helmets, and hand out the diplomas behind ballistic glass.

Haha asking the real questions right here

This, or throwing knives.

Or double health with remote mines.

Remember how you could all run out of ammo and the deathmatch would devolve into a slappy fight?

The dude from the Scorpions also studies wolves?? When he’s not rocking you like a hurricane?

No wait, that’s Rudolf Schenker.

Wacka wacka doodoo yeah!

No, I stick to rEdRuM

That sounds reasonable, yet here we are with criminal cases – proceedings necessary to carry out the law – being put on hold due to said memos.

And apparently absorbed the power of them all

Came to say this. Also of note, digital purchases on Bamdcamp are downloadable as DRM-free, lossless FLAC files which is awesome.

C’mon, where’s the trigger warning for folks with dental PTSD?

Also I came to post the Mitch Hedberg joke, that’s a classic 😁

Wow that is some real AI slop.

Ha, I clicked the comments to make this same joke. Have an updoot.

Let me file that under D… for Donut.

Sorry, this post was sarcasm, due to the many redundant posts in multiple communities. It was practically the only news in my feed today.

This. I stopped counting after 10 across news@lemmy.world and politics@lemmy.world alone.

Your anecdote is only the surface level. People may be spending more at shops because they expect inflation will keep going up and the things they need will just get more expensive. And they don’t expect they can save for larger purchases like housing or renovations so they’re buying lower level items while they can afford them. These sort of shallow effects might look like a prospering economy on the outside but they can mask an uglier core.

Right? That should be the message. Average folks appreciate essential services if you press them. But there have been enough scandals and mismanagement (esp. schools and healthcare) that they’re very distrustful that their tax dollars are being used correctly. I don’t know if it’s audacity so much as they just don’t understand that the GOP has been actively sabotaging our systems for decades. But the Dems never seem to call that out, like they’re afraid to name and shame their opponents as liars and swindlers.

The Dems kept making big proclamations about how the economy has rebounded under the Biden administration. But no one except the wealthy has benefited from that. It felt genuinely insulting every single time. Average folks in the US keep seeing bills, grocery prices, subscription services, and especially housing costs rise steadily. People are so worried about paying for these core things.

But the party never listened to Bernie and just kept saying “look, we fixed it” when they clearly didn’t, and I believe that drove away voters.
