That… Looks incredibly dystopian.

This is the correct attitude.

No it’s not! Spiders aren’t bugs!

Really? You wouldn’t blame the millions of people that explicitly voted for a convicted, fascist criminal?

If Americans had any sense the race would’ve been between Stein and Harris, not between Harris and someone who shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a presidency.

I’m blaming voters. 100 million people can be all dumb, and the results of this election is the definitive proof of that.

If people in America were actually smart, actually cared, and actually knew more than the the colour of their front lawn, they’d have voted Green.

I’m seeing a lot of “democracy is going to die” posts… But… I hate to break it to you:

America is not a democracy. And if somehow it is a democracy, then it’s an incredibly bad one. It’s the least democratic democracy in the Western world.

The two party system, the first past the post voting system, the indirect method of counting votes, lobbying, gerrymandering, the electoral collage. Systems to try and manipulate what a vote means. Systems that try to remove as much democracy from democracy as possible, while still being able to keep up some mock appearance.

Your whole country is fucked and backwards from the very beginning, and that wouldn’t be so bad. But if America does something we all have to suffer for it!

Very accurate meme. This is me seeing that the votes between the two candidates are somehow close. This is me seeing how one of the two is even allowed to run at all.

Do you have family in Iran? Cousins? Uncles? Anything?

I don’t actually understand the purpose of karma on Reddit, beyond some sort of metric to feel good about yourself. It’s literally just a number and nothing else.

I’ve seen some people try to devalue what someone said because of “low karma”, so I’d say it’s a good thing Lemmy doesn’t have a karma system.

Oppenheimer, Einstein, Bohr. What is this guy smoking? Wait, wasn’t this guy a news anchor not too long ago? Can people this stupid and uneducated really make it as a news anchor!?

Absolutely nothing happened in Iran. The morality police was given some practice in beating up teenagers and young adults for a couple of months, but the protests went exactly nowhere.

The problem is pretending like the comic represents a real problem.

Um, yes. This might happen a lot less if these issues that need to be talked about aren’t all blamed on guys. But still yes; we constantly hear about women’s problems in various media all the time, while men are usually stuck having to use some comment section to talk about their problem.

“How dare you complain about the (terrible tasting) food!? Don’t you know there are children starving in Africa?”

Or…

“Don’t waste water! There are people in Africa that go without water!”

Or similar such nonsense, but as a ridiculous comic.

The answer is always the egg.

Me with Bionicle: The Game.

Yes, and that would’ve been a far more reasonable answer than what he gave. If he had just said “I think spaceships are cool and would like to hang out with the crew of a cool spaceship”, Kirk wouldn’t have been able to really make an argument. It’s an illogical answer, sure… But not a wrong one.

If the last season of Picard is terrific, then Star Trek Nemesis is peak cinema.

True, but I was thinking there might be a smaller, incremental improvement in lithium ion batteries each year. Am I wrong about that? Are we going nowhere with lithium anymore?
