  • I'd hardly take criticism from so called leftists regarding smugness.

    Blaming "liberals" for not voting on "principle" (re: ego) while they sit on their asses telling everyone else to form an armed rebellion instead certainly aren't smug bastards themselves.

  • Responsibility for someone else's vote?

    All the people making excuses for why their vote clearly didn't matter so they were better off not voting obviously aren't making excuses themselves. That would be silly!

  • The amount of people who sat home on voting day outweighs both republican and democrat voters. Apathy won the last presidential election, just like every election in recent memory.

  • Most of the people in charge don't have their value in USD, they have it in material and speculative value. The crash of the USD will hurt everyone but them.

  • Well since more than a third of them can't be arsed to get out and vote even once every four years, much less for state and local elections or primaries... I'd say a whole hell of a lot to get to an armed insurrection. Which has much less a chance than a non-violent revolution, no matter how many people on lemmy harp on about armed conflict being the only possible solution.

  • No Man's Sky has added thousands of generic resource gathering tasks by now!

    I have tried playing it maybe half a dozen times and come to the same conclusion each time: "This is it?"

    It's a great game for wasting your time in the most banal tasks possible, but not much more.

  • Yes, that too

  • I do think there's an over-generalization, a merging of the idea of America as a society and the actions of a few supported by a minority... but the effect is the same. The US has casually invaded and overtaken a sovereign country. Whether it's the will of the people or not... they're not doing enough to stop it either way.

  • Games back then also had to fit on a specific chip in the cartridge. A lot of them would probably have had a lot more fluff if they had more space to put it on.

  • Yeah, that's probably the worst thing that's going to result from fumbling.

  • Ah, so that's your belief system.

  • Just because a government is secular doesn't mean the country is.

  • I think it's giving entirely too much credit to a commenter trying to justify being called out for staring.

    Yeah, some people will overreact. That doesn't mean you have to take it personally. I think the original commenter has skin that's too thin and got hurt because someone told them they were doing something that made that person uncomfortable.

    Just like people should understand that they're going to be viewed by others in public, people should also understand that not everyone is going to react in the specific manner you want them to in all circumstances. If they got told off, as it were, get over it and move on. Don't take it as a deep-seated societal problem they must rail against.

    It's not hypocrisy to act with emotion, it is however hypocrisy to criticize someone for acting emotionally when you defend your actions as emotional in nature.

  • I'm almost entirely certain this comic predates that meme.

  • "They were dressed all sexy like" isn't an adequate justification for acting like a lecher. And we shouldn't normalize it being so.

  • There's a specific difference between staring and taking an admiring glance. The former is generally associated with objectification, the latter a shared appreciation. Knowing where that line is makes the difference.

  • Depends on how much sauce is used. I've had plenty where it's little more than a thin veneer.

  • Rocky roads are full of marshmallows.

  • That's the exact sentiment MAGA is founded on. "Make America Great Again". They obviously don't mean it either.

    The problem isn't that times are now more interesting than they used to be, just that we're more aware of them. Ignorance is bliss, as they say. As long as you're not black, gay, trans, hispanic, or a woman. Or any other number of demographics who've had shit piled onto them for no reason other than it makes someone else feel more powerful.
