Can you imagine the alternate headline of “US sends peace keeping force to Saudi Arabia to protect African migrants”? That’s a sociopolitical minefield if there ever was one. I’m sure that if the US knew, so did most everyone else, and there weren’t any other countries lining up to help. SA isn’t known for being a clandestine government, more of a “What are you gonna do about it, buy more oil?” kind of operation. The US is damned if we do, damned if we don’t. Step in and its Team America World Police, don’t do anything and we are standing by letting genocidal governments kill nations.

Don’t forget a map that leads you to all of the DLC you haven’t bought.

I’ve seen that roo in ever dive bar I’ve ever been to.

If I have to pass a yearly exam to prove that I am not in some form of cognitive decline just to have the same rule apply to every other person, including politicians, then I’m all for it. Same goes for driver’s licenses. My grandmother, who is 91, just renewed last year. She told me over the phone, “This will probably be the last time I ever have to do that,” and I just thought, “I sure fucking hope so.” I’m not against older people doing what they want to do, but reality and safety have to come into play at some point. People break down as they age. I’m dealing with it now, and I will continue as I get older. I have no illusions about it. The feeling that you are entitled to whatever you want regardless of the safety of others is something that we as humans need to drop, or it’s gonna be the end of us, as evidenced by the current state of politics.

People that say that have never used AI art generation apps and are only regurgitating what they hear from other people who are doing the same. The amount of arm chair AI denialists is astronomical.

Goddamnit man, I was having a good day…

I’m getting really close to just not using the internet anymore. I only use it to stream movies, and doom scroll lemmy right now, anyway. The only reason I have an email is for spam. Take awake the only facade of privacy I have and I may as well hang it all up and walk away.

Let’s sprinkle song crack on him and get out of here.

Ahh, generalizations. The cornerstone of all civil discourse.

I’m still waiting on proof for any of these allegations. So far it’s just been people suing for the sake of suing and hoping they strike gold. If anyone can point to any evidence at all (read: not hearsay) then I’ll gladly review it, but as it stands, its nothing.

I’ve missed this meme.

“You see the remnants of traps, but it seems as though they may have been sprung by the last unlucky adventurer… oops, missed one.”

Obviously, I can’t confirm this 100%, but based on what he’s said in interviews, I believe he has gone through a similar shift in views that I went through on my journey to Atheism, though he hasn’t made the turn yet. I believe that he is having trouble reconciling his beliefs with his morals. He has publicly stated that he supports Roe v Wade, so I think he is on the right track. While I totally understand and support not wanting to give your money or clicks to a piece of shit, I also think that if some people are on the cusp of change, it only hurts the cause if we shove them away for their past. Again, I don’t know his mind, and I’m just going on my own personal experience, but these are my feelings on the matter.

That’s still 15 miles per hour.

Here is some more info about the project: http://www.warrnamboolpenguins.com.au/maremma-dogs#:~:text=In%20a%20world%2Dfirst%2C%20Maremma,on%20Middle%20Island%20are%20highest.

Because that isn’t what it means. “Left” or “Liberal” means exactly this:

lib·er·al
adjective

1. willing to respect or accept behavior or opinions different from one’s own; open to new ideas.
2. relating to or denoting a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.

Wanting to systematically change the status quo for the better is a matter of perspective. What is “for the better?” That is a moving target. A conservative can want the exact same thing, but the end goal is wholly different than that of a liberal. I’m not saying that you are wrong to want what you want, I’m just warning against conflating ideas, because that is a slippery slope, and you’ll find your own words turned against you very quickly.

Calling Liberalism “center-right”. Just because you are further left doesn’t mean that everyone else is further right of center now. Political definitions aren’t moving targets, they are what they have been since they were created. If you start shifting things one way or the other, then everything gets confused and people start to make wild claims like what the right has done with terms like antifa.

That third panel jump, tho.
