I haven’t bought a AAA game for well over a decade because of this shit. I’ll bike and take a bus before I give in to it with a mode of transportation.

In the military there were two kinds of officers: the ones moved from enlisted to officer through schooling and hard work and the ones who started their career in ROTC.

The ones who came up from nothing were always the first to help out the workers and rarely pulled rank. They wanted the entire unit to don well and were not above getting dirty. They were also the most highly respected for it.

The worst and most selfish officers were the ones who came out of ROTC as officers and were essentially police, but with rank only. They sucked and no one liked them and any respect they received was only due to their rank, never to them.

I feel humility and the actual act of working your way to the top is the only way to maintain a connection to your humanity. So many of the current ultra wealthy come from money, didn’t work for it, and don’t know how to be a human being as a result of it. The last time that kind of generational-wealth was flaunted while the masses starved and suffered, it was in France, and there were a lot of removed heads. The only thing that saved the rich during the Great Depression was the fact there were a lot of them that lost everything as well. Almost everyone was in the same boat.

Those at the top will learn, soon enough, that they only maintain their wealth through the grace of those near the bottom. Squeeze too hard and their whole world will come down around them.

Zero.

The number of people mentioning Biden before you. Also, the number of people that give two shits about Biden at this point in time. Like tRump, staying on topic requires a modicum of intelligence and focus.

By the way, illegals can be anything those making the laws says it is. It’s a slippery slope, and when reduced to fewer and fewer people determining what is and isn’t illegal, the faster it is subject to change. You should hope whatever in group(s) you belong to now never fall out of favor with those in charge.

I reported both as such and added tags and 10k downvotes to Voyager for each. After reading other comments on this thread, I feel there are many more such bots on Lemmy than I previously expected.

The late 1990s really were that long ago.

It’s clearly an attack sub. Likely with bootleg nuclear ordinance. Clearly terrorism!

My body is ready!

First thing I did when some hey we added AI… was to right-click and disable it.

Thank you for the qualification that this is ‘America under tRump’ and not the usual America!

The big difference between us and the rich is our healthcare is reactive. Their healthcare is proactive. They are, and always have been, looking for the means of immortality. Their reckless drive to advance tech at any means is the mission of advancing humanity, but only for themselves. The rest of us don’t matter to them. They literally don’t think we deserve anything.

Rest assured, if they succeed at immortality, they will never be stoppable and not even governments will be able to rein them in.

I don’t know how to gamble but here are the keys to my car! 🗝️ As they say in spy movies, I’m in.
