Global News@lemmy.zip•Democrats win US Congress in midterm rout of TrumpEnglish
5·8 days 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.
Blow_Me@midwest.socialtoLGBTQ+@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Democratic leader in Iowa won’t support party’s Senate candidate due to his anti-trans statementsEnglish
5·9 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.
“We’ll cross that water when it’s under the bridge.”
That is by far the laziest take on any variation on that saying I’ve heard so far. 10/10, fuckin’ love it. Just a straight up “we’ll do nothing until the problem comes to us”.
Adding this one to the noggin file.
I’m here to kick ass and take names, and I’m all out of ass!
*clicks pen*
Names, please…
Light a man a fire and you warm him for a night. Set a man on fire and you warm him for the rest of his life!

Europe@feddit.org•Europe's question? Whether US is still an ally or notEnglish
30·15 days agoMurican here. We aren’t even our own ally. Any country that considers us an ally is looking through rose-tinted goggles at what we could be, and clinging to that fantasy while ignoring what we are.
We need to get our shit together and actually keep it that way for at least a few decades before I’d expect any measure of trust from the global community.
Until then, yeah I wouldn’t sign any agreements with the US that extend past a presidential administration cuz as soon as a relatively good one leaves, we’re liable to put another hue-shifted Hitler in power.

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
1·15 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.



Probably with guerilla tactics.
