@BootsRiley A lot of people I respected have decided to support a self-described Progressive who just happened to have a Nazi tattoo and worked for Black Rock for funsies. Do you think that having a Nazi symbol is up for interpretation or is it cut and dry like "globalize the intifada?"
I would add to this a hostile generation of grandparents and parents who have eroded family support systems and strained every aspect of social life for anyone of working age and younger.
“70% of Gen Z are so anxious about money…”
- no universal healthcare
- AI taking their jobs
- housing is unaffordable
- college is unaffordable
- student loan, credit card, rent and auto loan delinquencies are up
- sub-living wage pay
- grocery prices are up
All policy choices
@kenklippenstein This being the case is why it's not important to which party the perp is affiliated but rather which political actors support their actions and/or benefit from them. As products of gun culture alone these people are tools of partisan violence whether they know it or not.
I can't be the only one in this position of having to disconnect from politics due solely to extenuating life circumstances caused by COVID. The US has been completely demoralized by the last 10 years of government inadequacy and what should be criminal negligence.
I'm 40 and completely disabled from long COVID. You'll have to excuse me if I forgo participation in the revolution to save democracy from itself. Two administrations have abandoned COVID victims to our fates while genocide and climate change denial enjoy bipartisan support.
@AricToler I assume there's some sort of technological hurdle that generative AI trips on while trying NOT to copy images 1:1 for legal reasons. Perhaps there are parameters set to make sure the product doesn't match any sample "too much" which in turn butchers words.
@kenklippenstein Halloween was banned where I grew up because a kid got road waffled while playing chicken in the street on a skateboard. That was in the early 2000s and there hasn't been a single trick or treater since.
@daveanthony All these numbers will look like child's play if they ever find a way to test for long COVID. I got sick traveling abroad in the early Fall of 2019. By the time COVID antigen tests came out I wasn't eligible. Currently diagnosed with autonomic dysfunction with no known cause.
@daveanthony@guybranum It's beyond depressing to think that Verizon has more respect for human life than the Kamala Harris because they see value in slave labor but here we are.
If you're below a certain age you might not remember how stupid it was when The DaVinci Code was first getting huge. Coworkers and classmates would tell you they had lost their Catholic faith because of the massive coverup "revealed" in this book
@SketchyFig@TFHypeGuy I honestly love Nerf Megatron. I might even prefer the Hasbro version over Henkei. Would have loved to see him done justice in a comic.
