The more corruption settles in, the less effective voting becomes. This is why the citizenry has civic duties beyond voting.

Yes I am lol, ty for the correction

T9 took significantly longer to type with. I rocked a flip phone and enjoyed how engaging t9 was and the added time cost acted as a buffer so that I was less likely to use the device for frivolous stuff.

Maybe look into seeing if everyone else would be ok with that as an exit strategy? It’s being tried in a few places and there’s a firm(s?) that guide ownership who wants to sell to the employees.

Very context dependant, I’d imagine

Incoming graduates saw an entire generation go to college at the highest rates ever just to find a job market that left a record number of them with debt still on their name more than a decade later.

What were once institutions devoted to academia, have become corporate training camps ran by a board that runs the institution with a corporate mentality, and they enrich themselves commesurately.

They’re idolized? I would’ve probably been an abider ☹️

Gears of War. You know the one.

And Dead Island.

Yeah I don’t get why the creator didn’t post his pic?

Coffee. The Internet told me it’s going to get insanely expensive so I like to savor it while I can.

That Peach portrait goes hard

I gotta stop using chrome on my phone 😔

I like your answer too. While I strongly believe the trans talking point is being amplified almost exclusively to fuel culture wars between the working class, your point on out-group mentality is a DNA encoded reality, from what I remember reading.

I think the two compromise the bulk of the answer along with the culture war fuel dumped by foreign entities interested in destabilizing the US.

The only remedy is education. Something that is sadly on the decline.

I’ve never seen so many women at the skatepark. On quads, inline, and skateboards whatever. Ik its a shit post but I really like skating and I like how inclusive it tends to be these days.

Women on street league are doing tricks never been done before by women, always pushing the envelope. When I was growing up, my one skater friend was one of like 3 girls compromising the entire scene. Now you can catch 3 at the parks on any given day.

I mean in terms of effect on population (which is kind of the point), the analogy still holds.

A lot of people criticized Dems for exactly this when Harris was appointed after Biden dropped out.

World in Conflict is one I don’t see talked about. Squad based military RTS.

Multiplayer on that was so fun. Guessing how the enemy was moving in order to time how you call ordinance on them was my favorite part

I agree, it’s an oversimplification. The Democratic party has become the party of ‘going back to business as usual’ and refuses to lower it’s commitment to the corporations that fund it. Trump won 2016 because he was a genuine establishment shaker.

Leftists need a rouge candidate who refuses to bow. Someone who shows promise of CHANGE and not business as usual.

One of the missing pieces that was mentioned by someone else is the purchase of residential properties by businesses being at all time highs.

WFH is efficient and makes sense in many cases. Private equity firms buying homes and holding them to sweat out the market far beyond what a solo landlord could or would, does not.

Ty for calling out the non-sense. Somehow accusing Democrats of also being on the take is considered outlandish.

Theyve got us fighting over scraps (abortion, marriage, the right to express ourselves and love who we want) but they are in full agreement on where most of the tax dollars go (MIC, contracting companies of powerful friends, subsidies for factory farms).

Gonna have to wake up the dormant Sheeple.

War is a racket
