They don’t make 'em like Huey these days.

Understandable. I never use it to ideate, personally, but might say ‘what trap would make this room better’ or something like that.

My campaign is actually run via a computer game, though, so the flavor’s slightly different. (Neverwinter Nights)

Democrats have no intention of changing anything meaningful. We learned that when Obama had a supermajority and became a black Dubya, despite his extravagant progressive promises.

Our only power is local now, and they know this, which is why they swift-boated Mamdani and ran a Democratic partisan against him.

Yes, it will take a major disruption to necessitate any meaningful change at the national level.

TBH, I do this at my job too.

I wouldn’t use it for actual work most of the time, but I’m happy to ask it questions about history and do follow-up research, or give it scenarios for my D&D campaign and ask for its suggestions.

You get 'em Trump.

Just keep repeating those big tough words and I’m sure everyone will see you for the big, tough, thin, athletic, young man you absolutely are.

Seriously.

I have a pretty good life, but if I could, I’d go back and prevent my own birth. Working for life sucks.

That stupid day when Elon carried a sink around Twitter HQ. It was trending fascist long before that, there was just something about the utter stupidity of that stunt that clicked with me. Been on Mastodon ever since. (Came to Lemmy later that year when Reddit started chirping about getting rid of their API.)

Sounds like that would fit really well in the Fuck AI community.

What an asshole.

Indeed. I’m not sure who to root against in this one.

Reddit is a shit hole.

You just made those words up.

True.

It is, however, objectively good that any corporation or public entity is deliberately and loudly standing up to him though.

Yeah, here in Kansas City we have some exceedingly neat older buildings (my favorite being our Union Station) but nothing like this.

I miss when humanity just built big, beautiful structures for the sake of having big, beautiful structures and not everything was cheap and optimized.

Depends on how you define ‘progressive’, because after the last 34 years of US politics, I don’t even think a citation is needed.

Every Democrat considers themselves progressive, and every president self-identified ‘progressives’ have elected has been more regressive than the last. It was Clinton with DADT, rebranding US warmaking as ‘peacekeeping actions’, or supercharging the gutting of the poor and middle class with his free trade agreements. Then there was Obama, who definitely marketed himself as a progressive, but turned out to be a black Dubya and gassed up fascism and regressive war on terror policies, on top of militarizing police, letting the rich skate after they robbed the globe of trillions, and even made health care significantly more expensive. Then there was Genocide Joe, who enthusiastically funded and armed a genocide and engineered famine, allowed ‘cop cities’ into existence, and saw the cost of living explode and did nothing meaningful to stop it.

And they also supported Hillary Clinton, even as the Dems rigged primaries for her and made the Donald Trump presidency possible.

I think it’s eminently fair to say boomer women did their part in making the current fascist hellscape possible.

I know all that sounds aggressive. I really hate centrists for what they’ve done, and especially Obama for having a supermajority and being a black Dubya anyway.

Also any time someone uses the word ‘hyperscale’, my spidey senses start tingling.

The ruling parties love to smear the Greens on this side of the pond too, unfortunately. This fact inspires a chuckle any time I hear a Democrat or Republican talking about ‘democracy’. They’re like American Christians talking about how much they care about religious freedom.

Chocolate Mousse for me. Delicious.

Agreed. I tore right through it in two days.
