I think the problem is that Harris was barely appealing to any ideals. If she had run hard on medicare for all and raising the minimum wage, I think she might have gotten the popular vote. Instead, she promised more of the same that we’ve had for the last 4 years.

Republicans: here’s everything you’ve ever wanted and all the libertarian shit you used to jerk off to.

“But I know that he won’t really give them that, and if they’re stupid enough to believe that, we don’t need their votes anyway”

~Every Democrat I’ve argued with since Tuesday

Virtually every single demographic, including immigrants, shifted towards Trump this year. Harris, a normal person, was shunned because she was less effective at convincing people (even the very immigrants at risk of being deported) to vote for her than her opponent.

Lmao ditto

Anyone saying that it isn’t the Democrats’ fault is delusional. To win elections, you have to win favor with more people than the opposition, and Democrats failed to do that

Every argument I’ve been in since Tuesday has basically boiled down to “we didn’t try to get more votes because we shouldn’t have to”

Not true, but nearly half of them did

All of whom thrive on stuff like man vs bear discourse

here a mislabeled “security update” was auto-installed.

To be fair, you would have to read all the way to the first paragraph to get this information from the article. Hard to blame people for not knowing this critical bit of information when it was buried so deep

90% of kids will be fine, and giving a shit about the 10% will get you labeled an authoritarian who wants to take away people’s rights

A lot of those are already on my list, so I’ll make sure they make it onto my screen this year

I forgot to talk about the many other shows I’ve watched in the last year! Unfortunately I didn’t grow up watching anime so I don’t have the nostalgia for it that most 90’s kids do, but the turn of the century is my favorite era of the medium. I’ve seen a lot from around then in the last year: Witch Hunter Robin, Wolf’s Rain, Ghost in the Shell, NieA_7, Serial Experiments Lain, Key the Metal Idol, Ergo Proxy, Read or Die

I really missed out on this stuff when I was a kid. Ghost In The Shell (the films and Standalone complex) would have been a formative experience for me as a teen

The cost of getting the goods to consumers goes up. Does the consumer pay:

A) More

B) Less

C) The same

This election was decided by the majority of people in this country not being able to answer this very simple question

Edit: oh shit I didn’t even notice it was you lmao I see you’re still roleplaying The Person With The Worst Takes

I wasn’t kidding about the one year thing, I’m back! All of these shows were great. You weren’t kidding about Bubblegum Crisis, I can’t believe I put off watching it for so long, it was rad as hell. Noir was my favorite of these suggestions, literally the only thing that keeps it from being a 10/10 is the distracting lack of any blood. Bakumatsu was super interesting—it’s cool seeing a show where half of the characters have Wikipedia pages. There’s a certain kind of person who both has a deep interest in the Boshin War and likes historical fantasy, for whom Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto is the best show ever made. I can’t bring myself to say that Eat-Man was good, but the concept is interesting, and I absolutely adore Bolt Crank as a character. '98 definitely improved on '97, but I’m fond of both series

I haven’t watched everything in your other comment yet, but I did watch Megalo Box, and it’s one of my favorite shows now—makes it to almost every list of recommendations because of the differences between the first and second seasons. It’s crazy how quickly it goes from shounen to seinen.

If only he wasn’t a fucking coward

Hope you’re not American, because if you are then it’s gonna be really hard to block out the consequences of this election

I don’t care about wokeness, the game looks like plastic garbage and they genericized the combat

The lamp story was over a decade ago, this greentext was well after it

But also it’s not an incredibly uncommon dream. I’ve had the same kind of dream before, though not nearly as emotionally affected as these guys

I mean we can simply let the kids handle the .22s, and adults like myself can stop the .45s and shotguns

Yeah unfortunately the only flaw in this plan is that they’re simply aren’t enough fingers for all the guns

What took Matt’s code over an entire month to run, viewers optimized so damn hard that the majority of the runtime of the code is just loading the words, so they started optimizing the code to run while the word list was loading. Takes like 4 milliseconds to load the word list, and 2 milliseconds to run the program

People joke about the Parker Square, but he’s unironically the most inspiring public figure imo. The king of Doing The Damn Thing

My prescription is just strong enough that the cheapest available option from the cheapest Chinese manufacturer is like $100

Very Lain adjacent! Yoshitoshi Abe did the character design for Serial Experiments Lain before making Haibane Renmei. There are many Lain fans in the Haibane community
