"Yeah but" is not a valid rebuttal. You made no attempt to refute what the other person said.

Sheesh. Drag needs to get a life.

All of my extended family are American. I've lost all but my great-grandparents to Trump and MAGA, and that's only because they're old enough to remember World War 2. Everyone else has lost their fucking minds and either think Trump is the greatest thing to ever happen to the US, or don't recognize just how bad things are going to get.

My mom told my grandparents that if they voted for Trump or if Trump won, we would never visit them in the States again until it gets its shit together because frankly the US is not a safe place to be right now. Guess who they chose over their own family?

Needless to say, I've gone no-contact with most of them. I am ashamed to be related to most of them. Thank fuck my mom didn't turn out the same way and moved to Canada 25ish years ago. My dad, on the other hand, is definitely drinking the Conservative Kool-Aid and it's hard to talk to him without politics being brought up.

Also, World War II was perhaps the biggest gift for America's economy in their history. It took them from the economic slump of the Great Depression into a booming war economy that allowed it to recover. Such an economic boom likely won't ever happen again, unless the US openly declares war on another country.

I agree. I personally can't stand all of the futuristic designs, they all look like giant metal blobs that barely resemble a car. Too much emphasis on ugly headlights and taillights as well. I would LOVE an EV that just looks like a regular sedan. I doubt most of these "futuristic" designs will age very well.

Pointing out someone downvoting you attracts more downvotes. Don't do that if you don't want more.

It's completely gone for me too. Must have been deleted.

I can only hope that Stamets was just having a bad day and ended up taking it out on you, and that this isn't going to be repeated behaviour. This is all pretty egregious, PTB for sure. This all seems really out of character for him.

Maybe they think pigs shitting on their balls is adorable? Saw a whole lot of that from Hexbears.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Tankies are downvoting enmasse in this thread, especially Hexbear users on alts.

Fuck that. I'd rather die than be American.

Especially the pig shitting one.
