Man. I remember both using the controller and seeing that add. One of those GameInformer magazines way back when it was still around.

Piss baby Ted Cruze and destructive toddler Newt Gengrich both come to mind.

Edit: and don’t get me started on the Oklahoma senators. Actively sabatoging education and sowing election distrust.

The states having freer, happier people if they seceede. Some of the states have people in charge that I believe would be more exreeme or more crafty in achieving permanent power for themselves. I’d like to be optimistic, but the number of people who agree with Trump’s rhetoric and my previous coworker who said they were excited at the idea of a civil war has tempered my positivity.

Something good is here, but I’d still want something to balance the power of those in charge of each state. I definitely agree that the power balance between state and federal right now is all screwed up by the two party system, bad faith actors, and too much distance from the public.

Lemmy has a unique community. Lots of thinkers. Personally, I love reading when people start seriously interpreting greentexts.

I may not agree with all of your points, but well done in the presentation. Comes across as reasoned and thought out instead of the irl people I interract with that downplay the severity of how this will affect the average and non-average US citizen.

Sooo, you liked her politics but felt forced into a choice anyway? Am I reading your comment right?

That’s fair. I’m just trying to decide what I can do living in a country more concerned with populism than policy, and really don’t like the reality of that situation. I should probably speak with some Punk artists and musicians.

Sounds like conservatism in the US needs to be relabeled as regressivism.

Fair, I’m just curious why ShaggySnacks mentioned the status quo thing when personal freedoms are being encroached on and revoked.

I can’t even rely on the US government to value human decency as a native citizen. I’ll keep fighting where I can, but yeah. Good luck.

I thought liberalism literrally meant that personal freedoms are the most important thing to that person and the belief is the government should not restrict them and needs to actively protect them.

So that’s why 15 Million less people voted this year for the democratic candidate? All because the Biden administration could only acomplish some of their goals? That 15 million would have voted if they were more stubborn and further left on policies, or if they had managed more of the goals? I don’t understand how that makes sense.

Thank you and all others in this thread. If nothing else, leaving Reddit helped me find a community of compassion that isn’t designed around continuous engagement. We fight on.

Is there multiple editions, or just one run?

Edit: Looked it up. Amazon has it, but will check my local bookstore/comicstore first.

Some of them, yes. I have family that fit your description, but I also have family filled with anger and spite. The ones who hold hate I can and will blame for it.

Besides that, wouldn’t it count as taxable wages and need a W-2 OR 1099 if it’s not a lottery or gift?

A slap with a wet piece of paper is very funny to some of us. Strength not required.

Seems like almost everyone agrees it was funny. I love how clueless Lemmings can be. Makes me feel like they’re actually people instead of all bots

True. This is how I know I’m American, because I love this map.
