Your average RPG is typically a group of trauma survivors clinging to each other in a crisis situation.

At the same time putting a group of adults together and doing a thing is the basis of many game shows and reality TV.

I find marionberry jam to be the superior option along with raspberry, although I agree strawberry is better than grape.

However I have never tried white/gold grape jam (made from green grapes) which I’ve often seen spiced, so I imagine that might have potential.

‘Do the thing’ is using the tools a user has at their disposal to block other users. Communities can block and ban users too.

Defederation over moderation is not the thing I am suggesting. Especially not as part of a multiyear campaign perpetuating a bad-faith feedback loop.

That’s why instances, communities, and users can be blocked and banned. If ‘their conversation’ is not allowed in ‘your space’ then do the thing and move on.

Exactly: Minimize effort, maximize return. Do nothing, get credit.

All of the above. The Democrats have a supermajority but zero discipline so they failed to deliver legislation, giving the conservatives the win. Then the legislation languished until it reached a phase where it would have only been able to continue by suspending rules by a vote with Republican support, which obviously didn’t happen.

This maintains the shit we’re all sick of that Democrats are really trying and working hard and it is just the GOP’s fault.

The ICE budget is free college for everyone like 3 times over.

There was no daylight between her and Biden on Netanyahu’s genocide.

Don’t lie.

You may have missed the “No daylight, kid.” thing it seems.

Unfortunately there are some users on Lemmy very ready to see ICE’s new budget justify political deportations. But yeah, I don’t think any of them would have any cognitive dissonance about it.

One in every four or five people incarcerated anywhere in the entire world will be in America.

We’re at least double that for prison population. 664k is closer to jail populations, so short term incarceration and people being held during and before their trial that will them into the prison population.

Prison + jail is something like 2 million.

Gulags at least had trials. Our system isn’t even bothering to do that.

Turns out the sham trials were the excessive part.

Some of those people (or their children) are still having breakdowns because a black person is in the same store :(

They were raised by people who, in their day, could outright lynch that person with the consent, if not support, of the (local) law.

I think by now Taiwan has been out of martial law for just about as long as they were under it.

Fake or not, they too buy the line of "If you vote for us and get us total control you’ll get everything you want.’ despite there being a precedent of getting the opposite under the current system. They’ll say their party just hasn’t gotten all or enough of the power yet and that’s why there’s problems. And those people continue to vote for party because ‘that’s what you do’ in their community.

There was this whole phase of Lemmy where it was looking like an alternative instead of a clone.

So maybe Lemmy was almost like a clone of Schwartz-era reddit, before becoming more of a transplant of post-2014 or even Spez era reddit.

a shithole red state is all she has ever known

How close was the vote in the state that her vote might’ve swung the electoral college?

That’s the sort of thing that depresses the electorate: feeling like their vote doean’t matter or gets tossed outright. Makes people feel powerless in choosing the occupant of the White House.

Oh indeed: that’s part of what really makes this curdle.

I have heard it range into ‘Curse-Ant’.

What sucks here is she opposes Trump’s bill.
