Where I live, the last several elections have seen every county go Red. It doesn’t even matter how I vote.

That being said I have also voted third party the last few elections.

Do I want the genocide to end? Fuck yeah I do, but I also don’t want it to start here in America.

In the current political landscape, if you don’t vote Red or Blue you are giving your vote to whichever way your state swings.

Even if I agree both sides are shit, I don’t want to allow the narcissist, racist, xenophobic, fascist, felon, wanna be dictator to get back in power and dismantle our democracy.

I would like us to swing so far left it makes Rupert Murdochs head spin, but I’ll take the not-fascist if that’s all I can get.

Oh I understand, but Regan repealed many laws that were holding corporations in check. Since Regan things have exponentially gotten worse.

I agree wholeheartedly, I am in full support of full autonomy no matter what.

You’ll have to ask Obama why he didn’t. I can’t control political asshats, just like political asshats shouldn’t be controlling abortion rights.

I’m campaigning against Trump, not for Harris.

If we had a third option that had an actual chance at winning I would be singing their praises and campaigning hardcore for them. Unfortunately if it’s not Red or Blue most of the population doesn’t pay attention.

The mental gymnastics you’re doing to paint me as a genocide supporter is baffling.

I am against all war, all killing, but I’m a nobody and can’t fix any of this. I can only point out that a vote for 3rd party candidates are almost a wasted vote in todays political climate, and allowing Trump in office will be a worse outcome than Harris

Every life is sacred, because we’re all the universe experiencing itself.

Should someone be punished for not touching a thing that had been working fine for 40+ years?

What is your proposed punishment? Allowing the rapists to select the mother of their child? Allowing women to die because of pregnancy complications?

So Kamala Harris is responsible for the conflict between Israel and Palestine? The one that’s been going on for thousands of years?

And let’s put this in another perspective…

Let’s say your best friend has an enemy that lives next door. You and your best friend are not just friends, but business partners.

How do you deal with a best friend and business partner that starts fighting with their neighbor when you know they have been fighting for decades, and when the neighbor kind of started the recent conflict?

Sure you can suggest they drop the fight, you can tell them what they’re doing is wrong, but are you going to start a fight with your best friend and business partner? A fight that may end up with your business falling apart? Or worse your family getting hurt?

Or do you decide to let your Racist Uncle Don take a shit on your dining room table and tell you he’ll handle it, without coming out and telling you what he’s going to do to handle it?

When I hear it I imagine an old cat lady with cigarette stained fingers and a wine glass full of Franzia, personally…

Capitalism has destroyed the middle class and absorbed all of the wealth...

No one has disposable income to upgrade to a phone that has no major feature changes over the one that came out over 5 years ago.

Until workers are seen as assets rather than expenditures, the enshittification of all facets of life under capitalism will continue to get worse.

Yeah, it's an hour walk one way to that store...

Where I live owning a car is a requirement :(

I live in rural Oklahoma...

Here are my walking distances: To the nearest convenience store: 4.667km To the nearest chain supermarket: 24.140km To the bus stop: 27.358km To the nearest park: 321.869m To the nearest big supermarket: 33.7962km To the nearest library: 32.1869km To the nearest train station: 70.8111km

I get what you mean. I am 100% behind any humans right to be whoever they want to identify as. I am also not naive to the fact that hormones do alter muscle density and development.

I am not an expert, but I do have critical thinking skills.

That being said, I feel like if a trans person wants to participate in sports with cis gender of the same sex, maybe they need to have their hormones monitored to be in line with the average of that gender for a decent period of time so they don’t have hormone based advantages?

If anyone has a better suggestion, please by all means, let me know. That idea is the best one I could personally come up with while defending the trans community from a co-worker that leans very far right and brings up pedos claiming being trans to go to opposite gender bathrooms and trans people having unfair advantage in sports after some body builder claimed to be trans and got world records even tho it was obvious that person was doing it specifically to get the unfair advantage…

Trump again floats the idea of serving a third presidential term (May 20th, 2024)

What time period did you work for free while also working shitty jobs for rent?

Lots of people are working two full time jobs to barely survive...

I'm not saying you're wrong, but you have to look around and understand that a 1 bedroom apartment can easily be one full time jobs worth of salary to rent if you're a GenZ, then your second full time job is utilies and food... And depending on where they live, that's WITH a roommate.

Once you've worked 16 hours a day, plus commute time, unpaid lunches...you basically only have time to sleep.

Where in that schedule do you propose someone donate their time working for free?

As long as you aren’t expecting it to run games like it has a RTX4090 in it, and are fine with the limitations of both the battery life away from a charger and the fact that some games might have issues related to the fact that the SteamDeck runs Linux, you will probably not regret your purchase.

The new OLED version is slightly updated for better thermals, and from what I’ve read is slightly more capable than the OG Deck.

I have had an OG deck since I got the chance to purchase after putting $5 down to pre order (I want to say a little over 2 years?) and the most demanding game I’ve played on it was Baulders Gate 3, and I had no issues with performance, and the small screen at 1280x800 resolution looks good on the OG but I’ve heard the OLED is even better.

I just bought my sister in law a Refurbished 512 OG Deck for $379 after tax/shipping, which about half what I paid for mine as an early adopter. You might see if you can pick up a refurbished one or get the OLED with a smaller SSD and upgrade it yourself.

Thank you for putting to words something that’s hard to explain. You’ve given me some talking points I can use towards a friend that tries not to act like he’s alt-right leaning but seems willing to listen.
