That site changes the content of the articles. It’s not to be trusted.

It’s perfectly logical. The Sun is loud as shit. Or it would be if there was air to transmit the sound.

People still play this one. http://mud.arctic.org/

Though I didn’t mean it has to necessarily be text-based. More that that ancestral path was more interesting than the WoW one. This is what EverQuest was born from.

One of the bigger differences is that not everything was questing. You just explored, and part of your motivation to level up was the ability to explore places that were previously inaccessible.

Here’s a free one for you.

Discard pretty much anything learned from or after World of Warcraft. That game warped the genre for decades, largely for the worse.

Go back to MUDs. Iterate from there.

Trying to define Jewishness by what Israel and/or Epstein does is antisemitic.

I wouldn’t take a Lemmy comment as evidence either way.

“find an actual progressive” aka 3rd party

lol no. You don’t get to strawman and then be a rude piece of shit about it.

Subservience to the FCC and the administration is the excuse. The real reason is that David Ellison is afraid the dem might win.

The majority owner of CBS is Paramount Global, which itself is controlled by Skydance Media, a company led by David Ellison (son of Larry Ellison), following a significant acquisition of the Redstone family’s stake in mid-2025.

Either that or it’s exactly what it says on the tin. I wonder which is more likely.

Thank you. I was just thinking that someone needs to grab this, and it was going to be a pita if I had to be the one to do it.

(More copies are always welcome.)

And it’s a hell of a brave thing Colbert and crew are doing in speaking out.

They’re patriots at a time when speech isn’t free.

I mean, I generally agree with you, but like most things this isn’t black and white. It’s a nuanced thing that needs to be handled with care. I get it; Large movements are terrible at nuance.

While we’re two years out from the start of the campaign, we can certainly encourage the Dems to find an actual progressive.

Hillary was better than Newsom. It’s funny that California Dems are blasted as the most liberal, when they might be the most conservative Dems outside of West Virginia.

Yes, anything is better than fascism. That point was more important 18 months ago, and might be more important again 12 months from now.

It’s also important how you say what you have to say. Dems are absolutely not the ones to blame for all this shit. Not doing enough is not the same as directly causing the disaster.

On the other hand, this is a fine time for this conversation. We do have roughly a year to find a candidate that’s not fucking Newsom just because he could meme for a minute.

I don’t mind a few memes in our politics, but I do want there to be some kind of substance under the memes. And not the substance Magats have found under theirs, 💩.

It blows my mind that with all our technological progress, it’s so easy now to make the world a better place, and yet…

Granted. They weren’t giving out participation trophies for 12th though, sorry.

They use PLA in several tea bags and coffee filters now.

… of course I research and avoid those. I’m not super paranoid about plastic, but boiling it and drinking it seems insane.

I was slightly interested in getting into it. Youtube had some 15 minute sample of Sunday Ticket. So I figured I’d catch the end of the Bears game. Why not.

13 of the 15 minutes were ads and the demo ran out. Iirc it was exorbitantly priced to continue, and you wouldn’t get everything.

So instead I watch pro League of Legends. Not as relatable, but a hell of a lot cheaper to watch, and I enjoy it.

0:35 is the alleged shart. Within seconds he’s trying to wrap it up. At 0:39 he’s suddenly trying to immediately wrap it up. At 0:42 the woman in green arguably reacts. More reactions from the woman in green again at 0:47 and 0:53. At 0:51 he literally gestures the press out of the room without actually moving from his chair.

If this was a grand jury, you’d get an indictment for sure. It could not be a shart, but it looks like a shart, sounds like a shart, and the woman in green smells it like a shart.

Declarations. Executive orders. Not bills.

Bills create law. He ain’t doing that. Most of what he does is not legal.

It looks real to me. The reactions aren’t large, and maybe the shart noise at 0:34 could have been edited in, but… it all fit together with the way Trump and staff suddenly rushed the press out of the room.
