@jasonvpoulos I have to admit, I was surprised that I hadn't heard your name in your district, and when I looked you up, you put your experience with AI research above the part where you go into the dangers on it. I almost clicked away with disgust, and I was still uncertain. Odd choice
@ThrowingHamrs@tragic_endings_ I am happier than I've ever been in my life after moving away from the nonsense you're talking about. it's easy to find and make friends and be at peace with the world. so if getting my nuts crushed helped me attain that, then I hope you get your nuts crushed too
@ThrowingHamrs@tragic_endings_ I mean I was resentful but I didn't become a woman hating incel misogynist so like there's some personal accountability involved in the calculus here
@j_izzimi@ChrisVanHollen@SenJeffMerkley Again, curiosity, I really appreciate your talking about this. But what made you believe he wasn't indifferent to genocide? Being a tough strong man who doesn't get bogged down by feelings was his brand and he generally dismissed human suffering in his campaigns and first term
@Krexxal@Neasper Velves and Before the Storm even established that monster races antithetical to their core faith are acceptable in the Alliance now, so what's the point of the Horde anymore?
@Krexxal@Neasper Before Garrosh they had the excuse of demon blood. After MoP, that it was a one off. After WoD, the demon blood excuse was thrown out. After BFA, the Horde banner just represents evil ambition that contrasts what the faction TRIES to be
@j_izzimi@ChrisVanHollen@SenJeffMerkley I'm really grateful that you did this and I'm not asking to shit on you, but I'm curious about why you thought Trump wouldn't be like this when it felt pretty clear based on his first term that this is where things would go
He assassinated an Iranian general, he's not a dove
@tragic_endings_ Yeah I don't get why people thought they could get a better world by sneering down at them and telling them that they have to crawl on their knees to them to be acceptable even if they can't cleanse their original sin of being born evil
Seemed more like venting and ego
@hardboiledleggs@davisdoesgames@Eclipse_cAnon Thank you for the answer! That all makes sense to me.
Maybe Gen Alpha or Gen Beta women will be speedrunning their favorite childhood game, Bubsy 5D, someday.
@hintstie@davisdoesgames@Eclipse_cAnon Yeah, that's more or less what I figure. And if you were growing up as a woman in the 90s/00s/10s, things were even worse than they were today if people you were gaming with found out you were female.
I hope things continue trending positively there
@davisdoesgames@Eclipse_cAnon While this is true, the question this brings up is, why are trans women comfortable with / interested in speedrunning, but c*s women in this space are extremely rare in comparison?
What's the cause of this?
@hasanthehun I voted for him, but my main takeaway here is that this primary sucked and shouldn't have happened like this. Markey should have a younger successor prepared and gaining momentum now and it's a mark of failure that he doesn't. He'll be 86 at the end of his term
