Guilded is dead. Their website redirects to a thank-you page of some sort. I remember trying it out ages ago and I thought it was pretty decent competition for Discord and had a lot of the same features, but ultimately it would have been susceptible to the same kind of fuckery that Discord is giving us right now. These private companies only want to extract value out of their users.

The key revelation here is that this was after his conviction. They knew what this dude was about and still showed up to a dinner party.

Musk and Zuck wanted to fuck kids.

Most placed with conversation pits that I’ve seen in person did have a false floor panel to cover it when there was no company over. Turned it back into regular floor space.

Honestly, this picture is close to accurate if you were trying to input the code for the debug menu in Shadows of The Empire.

The time to be concerned about the direction of the political system was November of 2024.

It’s quite literally too late to do anything about it now. If Trump wants to cancel elections, there will be much hand-wringing and finger-waggling while congress debates about the legality of such a thing in a committee to no avail and the courts slow-walk any kind of injunction that would preemptively prevent them from doing it before it actually mattered.

Why should any of us be surprised that the guy who tried to subvert democracy once before is brazenly and openly stating his desire to do so again? This result was so utterly predictable that I feel secondhand embarrassment for anybody just now getting anxious about the political system.

Lmao, the MAGAs lose to the ultimate buzz killer, the NIMBYs!

“What if instead of the communist atheist deep state vax jab, we just expose people to a weakened version of the coronavirus? 🤔”

I hate him.

My dream is to be a homeowner and it’s slipping away faster than I can chase after it.

I fucking hate him so much.

It’s okay though because Zuck greased the Trump admin’s palms with his Presidential Library bribe, so they’ll get a slap on the wrist at best.

Literally anything but FOSS, huh?

Out of the frying pan and into a cold frying pan.

There were people in 2024 saying that the shit happening at this very moment would never happen under Trump 2.0.

These abhorrent acts have been so normalized over the last year that the unthinkable has become blase.

I shudder to think of where we are going to be in another year.

Okay, I deleted my comment not just because I didn’t want people to upvote the misinformation, but also because I knew if I started typing out an edit or a reply that I would get upset and say more than I should. But since you’re now twisting the knife, I’ll oblige, since it’s entirely unavoidable at this point.

First, you are absolutely correct about the lyrics. I made a mistake. Happy?

Second, do not presume to know anything about me:

Not sure if you actually know too many queer people who were 90s kids

Well, I know me, for one. Now I know you too.

you seem to think is only ever a slur.

Did I say that? I self-censored not because I believe that the word should be unspeakable, but because I don’t want to be banned from Lemmy for typing it out. It’s explicitly against the rules of /c/politics.

To be clear, I don’t really care if people use it, as an insult or otherwise - that’s their business and not mine. But platforms most certainly do. To add on to that, my preferences are not shared by all. I know it makes some people uncomfortable to read it, which is why I try to avoid it when I can. We’ve all definitely matured past the people that we were in the 90’s. I’m not going to regress just for contextual purposes.

So the administration has quadrupled down on saying they are only going after thugs and criminals and narco terrorists and then they snatch little kids off the street? Because they can’t prove they are a citizen? There isn’t a single person on that ICE squad that can confidently tell me that they carried their identification on them at all times as a kid.

Republicans, what the fuck is wrong with you? Wake the fuck up and help us stop this insanity.

That pussy name brand tho…

Begging your pardon for that, sorry.

Well, 2026 is easy because neither of them will be on that ballot. That’s why midterms are tough for incumbents, because there’s less motivation for their party to turn out, but the aggrieved opposition are highly motivated to turn out as a referendum on the current administration.

2028, who knows man. Anything can happen between now and then. I feel like if someone voted for Trump in 2020 or 2024 then they are terminally stupid.

Why proud? What is left to be proud of, I wonder?

Nationalistic sentiments like that are part of the reason why we’re in this mess to begin with. Start being critical of your government today. Never be satisfied with the status quo. Don’t accept the meager good in spite of the overwhelming bad. Fight to change things for the better so that you can say you are proud of the positive change you made in your country, rather than celebrating merely being born or living here.

He is an adjudicated rapist.

As for the pedophilia, his various comments over the years sexualizing minors (including his own daughter), eyewitness accounts of him entering teen pageant dressing rooms unannounced, his close friendship with Epstein, and his general unwillingness to cooperate with releasing unredacted versions of the files are just about all the evidence you need to have a reasonable suspicion that he is involved with the trafficking or rape of children. Unfortunately we probably won’t know the whole truth until after he leaves office or dies because we live in a clown country where the chief executive is immune to consequences.
