4·1 day agoNow impeach Agent Orange, and actually convict and sentence this time please.
We’ve seen Democrats just piss their time in power away plenty of times. Last night’s results are promising, but damn it’s hard to be actually optimistic.

5·2 days agoIt drives me fucking nuts that so much of the hate directed at trans people is driven by sports. Sports! It’s a FUCKING GAME! It’s like saying people with hair shorter than 2 inches shouldn’t be allowed to play Minecraft. You could even argue that short hair gives them an advantage by not obstructing their eyes or some shit: and even taking that (bullshit) argument at face value IT’S STILL A FUCKING GAME!
Human rights > games
Why is this such a controversial take??
Like, their other boogeyman arguments are just as bullshit, but at least those take the effort to poke at something that sounds important like keeping perverts out of restrooms… I mean, until you fire off the six or so neurons it takes to see past that bullshit veneer and realize it’s another example of ‘the cruelty is the point’ and there’s not some horde of trans people staking out public restrooms to go rape that little school girl from the hate ads… but the folks who are too stupid to question those hate ads, I can at least see that they’re being manipulated by being tricked into thinking they’re helping the girl from the hate ads.
But like… “tRanS pEoPLe cAn tHroW a bAll a litTlE biT fURthEr!!” THAT’S NOT A FUCKIN REASON TO TAKE THEIR RIGHTS AWAY! None of that shit is a fuckin reason to take their rights away. …but god damn, the sports thing is the most knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing, neanderthal-fucking, stupid argument I’ve ever heard.
Fuck you, Turek.

World News@quokk.au•Microsoft offers voluntary buyouts to 60,000 employees as AI leads to efficiency push
2·8 days agoI had the same realization after posting, but left it as is cuz it’s still not the AI driving the push for efficiency, it’s the bullshit firings. AI is being used as a scapegoat - it’s the malicious management that’s culpable.

Gaming@lemmy.zip•Steam's AI disclosures are akin to "forcing developers to list their voting history", says man who must hate seeing eggs virtue signal that they're free-rangeEnglish
1·9 days agoIn the US you can look up people’s voter registration and see which party they’re registered with. Not sure if this is every state or just some, but it’s at least been the case in all the sates I’ve lived in. I’ve never seen one that actually displays your ballot selections though, just the registration status, but that could be a thing if there’s a state that allows it.

I mean… I want both, but definitely nuremberg 2.0 as a very early priority. Unity isn’t even a blip on the horizon at this point. Unity isn’t valuable if we’re being unified with trash. Hold the Nazis accountable, disband institutions that spread their hatred like Fox, Meta, and megachurches.
All those fuckers need to be appropriately sentenced for their treasonous behavior.
From there, if we can somehow deprogram the hateful sentiment from the pawns, then, sure, reintegrate into society.
Evil’s head needs to roll. Stupid I can forgive if the individual is willing to improve.
