No doubt, I wrote game streamer quite specifically - no background or education in politics, but have an audience carried from unrelated activities and influence it.

Hm, I mean I’ve known celebs to drop a comment on an issue close to them, or do an interview, start a charity - but how many pivoted to doing 16 hours of live political commentary, across all headlines and verticals, every day? These streamers have no credentials to be a pundit, yet still flood the feeds with their opinions. Seems like a distinct difference.
Idk when society started depending on twitch game streamers for political insight but it’s really been fucking with my head. Sorry bro, WoW raid experience doesn’t exactly translate to expert on international relations.

13·27 days agoCongress voted it’s not war, doesn’t require war powers, so yeah anyone or private business treating this as a warzone is in the wrong. Except now after they decided that, we’re still seeing wartime excuses for gop behavior. Schrodinger’s conflict starting world war epstein, staying on brand for 2026.

22·27 days agoYeah it’s normal to ask for a warzone - but this isn’t a war of course.
I’m just speculating. The creators did say repeatedly they would stop the show when they felt it had run it’s course. And the cancellation announcement they said it felt burned out. Personally I think there’s another layer with the WB acquisition but who knows. Have to take it at face value.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•From what I see in the US, people having kids are fucking up the world for kids more than people without kids
24·1 month agoThe parents you know sound like they are in a much better position than the ones I know. One mother of 4 I know is literally buying food for their children and parents eating whatever is leftover. Scraps are her dinner most nights. Or the single dad with two kids that takes them picking up trash at the beach for a bit of free fun.
It sort of sounds like you might be surrounded by rich assholes with more money than brains. They likely should be taxed for numerous other reasons before we get to children.






Wow those min specs are pure bullshit. Sure you can run the OS - oh, did you want to do anything else with your PC? Good luck
