WTF

[Kirsche 🥥 🧁 @KirscheVerstahl]

why are normies like this

[Multiracial Lion @MultiracialLion]

I don't like AI, but I like the government being able to seize your company's assets because they can/want to/are going to use them to "improve the lives" "of all of us" a whole lot less.

Angry ex trying to take half in a divorce + socialism, coated in anti-wealthy language

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

Bernie Sanders introduced a bill to seize 50% of any AI startup that crosses $200M in revenue.

The same anti-prosperity bloc spent the year trying to ban startup acquisitions, blocking the only exit 85% of founders ever get.

This is a war on building startups in America.

[Multiracial Lion @MultiracialLion]

@SMB_path @mattvanswol I don't like this. I don't like violence - it's bad.

But...hard to ignore fair being fair.

There is no cultural "we throw our kids in with the crocs" to try and rationalize this, in the event that he is not English.

So...do unto others, I guess.

[Multiracial Lion @MultiracialLion]

Man if only we had this same kind of speedy law response in Chicago, LA, Seattle, Houston, and other high-crime areas. I can only hope for such times to come back

[✨Lovely✨ @ItsLovelyLaveau]

And yall thought Obama was gonna make the White House “ghetto”…. Look at THIS hoodrat shit

[Multiracial Lion @MultiracialLion]

It's interesting how this works

[MechaAO @MechaAO]

@politicalawake Funny how there are little to no arrests of the arsonists burning down temples and shrines there

[Multiracial Lion @MultiracialLion]

@PrideofJapanese The taxes and handouts are frighteningly similar to America. One of my big pain points within the last several years is that we have issues with things like homelessness and waste/fraud/abuse, but we still give money to any/everyone but Americans instead of fixing these problems

[Multiracial Lion @MultiracialLion]

Obviously not. Far too coincidental.

[自分に正直でいたい @PrideofJapanese]

To people all over the world.

A mayor in Japan who had opposed foreign immigration was found dead in a gutter. There were signs of strangulation on his neck, but there was nothing nearby that could have been used to tie a rope, and no rope or similar items were found. There was also no suicide note.

This mayor took office in April of this year on a platform of opposing immigration policies. The police immediately ruled it a suicide, stating there were no signs of foul play.

So, do you really think it was suicide?

The really important stuff

[FINAL FANTASY @FinalFantasy]

Update (v1.5.0) for Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles launches today!

This adds New Game+, a Zodiac Compatibility function and several new options featured in the screenshots in this thread.

[Multiracial Lion @MultiracialLion]

@PrideofJapanese I find it very concerning. I have considered pursuing naturalization/dual citizenship in Japan for years, but things like this (and the destruction of the animal farms, shrines, and temples) give me pause. Though I suspect Japan is more likely to fight this head on than the US

[🇯🇵 Colonel Otaku Gatekeeper 🇯🇵 @politicalawake]

Newly elected Mayor of Shimotsuma Toyoji Sudo launched a program to crack down on illegal immigration in Ibaraki the Prefecture with the most illegal immigrants in Japan.

Now he has been found dead in a drainage ditch.

His death is being treated as a suicide

[Multiracial Lion @MultiracialLion]

Heaven FORFEND the bottom 50% not contribute the 3% of the federal budget and have more to stimulate the economy with! It might cut into the congressional "choose your fighter cringe video" funds

[Sassafrass84 @Sassafrass_84]

Instead of taxing ordinary citizens, why not focus on reforming healthcare? Democrats made it far less affordable with Obamacare, and simply raising taxes on working people is not the solution. Taxing a trillionaire more is not the solution.

You need to control government spending, cut waste, and work with Republicans to actually lower healthcare costs.

That's your answer.

[Multiracial Lion @MultiracialLion]

What many seem not to realize is the "top 1% is a low figure. Like...$13m in net worth.

That's the rop 1% in the US.

It's performative, virtue signaling trash being spewed in an attempt to distract from their failures and the wealth they have extracted from the taxpayers.

[Nick Sortor @nicksortor]

Net worths of politicians whining about Elon Musk’s fortune from SpaceX:

🔵 Ro Khanna: $250+ million (inherited)
🔵 Gavin Newsom: $30 million
🔵 Elizabeth Warren: $12 million
🔵 Bernie Sanders: $5 million (plus 3 houses)

A bunch of virtue signaling hypocrites.

[Legendary Drops @ALegendaryDrops]

Entertaining the idea of ads makes you a threat to the hobby and its customers.

Once that genie is out of the bottle it becomes a living nightmare of ever increasing premiums as customers try to escape advertising.

It's happened on every platform.

Every. Single. Time.

@japan_nobunaga The UN no longer serves a valid purpose, it seems.

[Multiracial Lion @MultiracialLion]

@japan_nobunaga I'm American, and must also be missing something obvious.

I was raised with the understanding that there are punishments for transgressions, criminal or otherwise.

[Multiracial Lion @MultiracialLion]

The better question is, "In what universe do you not punish someone for committing a crime — and call it just?"

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

In 2019, New York eliminated cash bail for most misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies.

Researchers later compared people released under the reform with statistically similar people held pre-reform.

For most defendants, re-arrest rates dropped.

But for one subgroup — people charged with a violent felony who already had a recent violent felony arrest — the same studies found pretrial violent felony re-arrest rates went UP.

From Japan I have to ask:

In what universe do you release someone whose most recent prior arrest was for armed violence — and call it reform?
