    Funnily enough this is exactly how people think including our house.

    I took mine down when Roe v Wade was overturned and the Progress Pride flag went up. I had been considering putting the American Flag back up recently if Democrats start winning again.

    People from every country like to pretend that patriotism isn't a natural part of living but will stick their heads so far up their own asses when talking up all their food, culture, teams, or any other number of arbitrary things.

    And while there has been some divergence in Patriotism vs Nationalism, they're essentially the same damn thing but with better connotations for one now lol.

    It's only us vs the billionaires! Don't let them try to pit us against each other!

    Anyone who owns more than two houses deserves to die!

    Anyone who works X job is a bastard, no matter how much good they do.

    No, I will not run for local elections.

    No, I will not give up Xitter I need it to follow my niche artists despite them having accounts on multiple other platforms including BlueSky.

    No I will not give up Facebook. I need it to poke meemaw and check the marketplace for things I'll never buy or sell because Craigslist amirite?

    At least all you twats use ETA less than they do on reddit. That bugs me way more than it should.

    Who the fuck is the rich chef lmfao?

    Every chef I know looks like the dude on the left, but he hasn't had adderall since work insurance pays shit so instead he subsists on alcohol and cocaine with the rush of order and chaos working the kitchen.

    I'm pretty sure quoting "can a nigga borrow a french fry", "Now how is a nigga gonna borrow a fry" in almost any format that isn't your workplace is fine. Same thing with singing songs.

    Just don't be fucking scummy when using words as slurs. That's all people gotta do. But people keep using it as a slur, so it's just easier to not say it. Yes, it would be nice if it was magically yeeted out of the cultural lexicon. Words only have the power we give to them.

    I'm personally not a fan of saying N-word, N****, or anything like that anyway. You're literally just making other people say 'nigga' in their head but absolving yourself of the guilt of saying it through silly pc terms.

    E: Short of being a newscaster and quoting a hate crime, it's about the only time 'N-word' should be used now anyway lol. Just use any other number of words to talk to your friends or enemies in a loving or hating manner. Taking words back is fine and all so they have less power over people. But when you take it back, but still make it have power, then it's kinda fucking pointless since you're perpetuating it's stereotypical use still lol.

    Translation: Non-contractors who have stayed long enough get hired in and get breaks. Everyone else who hasn't worked here for 5 years yet making 1/2 the pay your coworkers get still get nothing.

    Gotta love America sometimes.

    The vast majority of 'good' landlords are people who were sketchy about investing in stock markets. As they rightfully should be because it requires infinite growth to keep people retiring without serious wage redistribution. But let's kick that football down the road more.

    Most of them are old and elderly. There's no way the government forces private land owners to sell off anytime soon though. Let alone the difference in taxing/sales of land ownership vs home ownership. A hard cap on total homes owned would be nice though. People really out to diversify their savings and equity is a huge one.

    There's so much good that could be done that starts failing when defacto mini government coops start up though. You'll have a hard time finding the difference between Coop and government owned housing but you'll see people lambast government ownership like we've already seen in this thread lol.

    It feels like wasted power. You could at least be earning something off it. The creator can either take a cut if it's free or lump sum for paid. I've seen a few idle games take up a lot CPU resources, not necessarily GPU so it had me wondering. Why not make it mine?

    Has anyone else noticed that Wikis for most games just aren't as complete anymore? I'm the one helping to fill in stuff these days when I swear most games had pretty fully Wiki pages within a week of release. Have most of these just moved to actual Gaming article websites? They sure as hell haven't gone to Gamefaqs lol. I've recently played Diablo 4, Remnant 2, 30XX, Armored Core 6, and just started Have a Nice Death... and I've had to help with additions on nearly every free Wiki... Never used to have to do this...
