There is a connect literally adjacent to yours that says “Obama isn’t left at all” with more upvotes than this one. Let’s not pretend the purity circle jerking on Lemmy isn’t a problem.

Always keep snacks in the cycle bag

This isn’t entirely true. Our gun laws are weird as fuck, and half of them seem designed to get around some sort of loophole or another.

To any reasonable person, a 10.5" AR-15 that looks like this:

is an assault rifle. Per US gun laws, it’s a perfectly legal “pistol.”

In dozens of states including my own, you can freely purchase and own one without any sort of permit whatsoever, you just buy it.

They also want people to only be able to vote on Dominion voting machines, which are coincidentally owned and controlled by a Republican donor/operative.

So rest assured, no tomfoolery there.

TIL America is the only capitalist country

Oh cool, that’s a pretty ambitious concept. The idea of an open sim world where you can do pretty much whatever you want sounds awesome. Rimworld was very much not for me, though, as much as I wanted to like it; playwise it never clicked for whatever reason. Probably why this one whooshed me.

If pointing out things I find mildly amusing - with qualifiers, even - is “shitty,” we live in a pretty fucking sterile and boring world.

Ahh got it. Kind of figured at had to be more complex than it looked at first glance, and another commenter pointed out that it’s a solo dev as well. Thanks for the extra context!

Lick that boot harder baby, they love it

The “After 6 years of early access… Version 1.0!” text displaying over what appears to be a pixel shooter is extremely funny to me for some reason.

I get that games take time regardless of art style, still seems an odd point to hype.

Was typing up a pithy comment about it needing to be an unapologetically racist magic 8 ball when I noticed the extra 8. Well played.

You made TWO braindead Both Sides arguments under the same post, great job. Forget to sign into your alt account again?

I do actually! Was traveling last week and almost forgot.

Shooting with it is bonkers lol. There’s no focus ring so all you can control is the shutter speed. Everything just looks ethereal and weird. Fun to play with though.

Kind of a catch-all term for a flat prime lens, usually used for some kind of effect.

This one’s an old recycled pocket disposable camera lens someone 3d printed and mounted, so all the shots look like this. There’s no focus ring, hence the blue and retro lo-fi quality.

Oh man😂

The same billionaires ruining everything else, got it

Porque no los dos?

Community engagement is vital, and we should all be involved with outreach, education, and mutual aid.

I think we all understand that we’re on our own now, and if we want our communities to survive and thrive we need to take ownership and contribute.

But it’s naive as fuck to pretend we won’t be on our own protecting those communities as well. Arm up, train up.

Dude, Hannibal is a fucking landlord and has actively spoken out against Rent Control. He is objectively a piece of shit.
