This copypasta is closer to GTA IV than GTA VI on the timeline.

Something tells me you already have an idea of what those words mean. I’m not here to have a debate, I just thought I could help with understanding the parent comment. I thought it was pretty obvious what calling Xi the CEO of China was implying.

10 types of people in this world as the saying goes

It means the parent commenter thinks “socialism with Chinese characteristics” looks an awful lot like state capitalism.

One of the devs she was complaining about got fired. The blowback hit harder though. She got fired, her (former) employer and her personal blog both got DDOSed, and she received a shitload of graphic death threats.

We truly do live in a society

And how are we going to do that when we gave the keys to the party that banned ranked choice voting in 10 states?

“I am going to kill you” – death threat

“I am going to send you back to the lobby” – funny Fortnite joke

Streisand effect

I’m not angry and I’m certainly not a centrist. All I wanna know is what you’re doing to justify taking the moral high ground. Seeing an obvious problem (the DNC is a dumpster fire) doesn’t get you points with anyone.

If all you do is post, you’re just noise. Do you participate in any kind of direct action? Do you volunteer? Are you advocating for anything, or are you just venting?

It’s okay, man, you’re not alone. Most people don’t do anything. Civic disengagement is kind of the status quo anymore.

What are you doing other than bitching about the opposition party on Lemmy? Genuinely curious.

What if the homunculus argues that it, as a new and distinct being, has committed no crimes, and deserves to live? What if it begs for its life as you load it into the teleporter to split it back up into your science officer and annoying morale officer shoot it into the sun?

earlier than initially projected

There’s that phrase again. If only someone had warned us loudly and repeatedly.

I need an ibuprofen…

Can he withdraw from breathing the same air as me too?

Voting is the least we can do besides doing nothing. Which makes it pretty disappointing that so many people will be all like “oh voting doesn’t do anything, we should tear down the government instead” and then they proceed to do neither of those things.
