Oh wow, the predictable thing is happening? But I was told the Republican voters just needed to get angry and call their representatives! Don't worry guys, I'm sure the next plan to electorally save ourselves from fascism will work!

A lot of people are decrying this number as being too low because it's been common knowledge for a while that about 10% of the general population is LGBTQ. I think that's a really negative way to look at the poll. Instead, realize that we're finally at a point where nearly every LGBTQ American is comfortable enough with their sexual identity to report it on a poll. That's a huge milestone for de-stigmatizing the LGBTQ community! Shame it's happening at such a scary time, and I hope these rates don't decrease as things become worse.

Please, Reagan would be fucking thrilled. After the Republicans installed their dream government style in Russia after the Soviet Union collapse, it's been their goal to bring it to America. The only thing that would make Reagan disappointed is that he didn't get to be king.

As much as it pains me, same. Lots of Americans are going to die, but at this point we deserve it. We've been sleepwalking into fascism for over 40 years, and have ignored every single warning we were given. I used to care about us being united, because I know what the fate of red states will be if Balkanization happens, but now? Fuck 'em. Let's just split apart so we no longer have to support all these MAGA welfare queens in Alabama and Mississippi. Let corporate interests swoop in and go full classical colonialism on their weak economies. If they really want to work in sweatshops for nickels, fuckin let them. My blue state is strong enough to stand alone, I know most other blue states are, so what's the point in defending the people a collapse will hurt the most when they voted for it?

Penis inspection day is real and it is coming for you.

Hell yeah dude, bisexuals doing our part to get those numbers up.

You should have had that nervous eye twitch for the last 40 years, the U.S. was doing plenty of fucked up shit even when we were projecting calm security. The first Trump presidency was the wake-up call to the rest of the world to start cutting ties with us, it actually blows my mind how little there was in place internationally for when he won again. Sanctions should have been placed on us, trade agreements dissolved, we should be getting isolated right now. I'm sure we'll get there eventually, but it might be too late by then.

Please, please god crush these clowns. I don't know if I'll be able to mentally recover from an AfD sweep. The U.S. needs to be the end of the spread of fascism, not the first domino in a falling chain.

There may be valid reasons as to why I became an amoral piece of shit only concerned with chasing the bag, but that doesn't excuse any of the actions that I took or people that I hurt. I'm glad to lock all of that far, far in the past.

It someone creates a program for Windows, that program will likely still work 10 years from now

I was with you all the way until here. This statement is absolutely laughable to anyone who has messed around with older videogames. Sometimes, if you're lucky, running it in compatibility mode with the version of Windows the game was made for will work, but oftentimes you're reliant on fan patches or long installation guides showing you the exact configuration of settings necessary to stop the game from constantly crashing. At that point, getting the older game to run on Windows is just as tedious as getting it to run on Linux, potentially less.

You still are getting more of a guarantee from Microsoft, because Windows versions have typically had long lifecycles and were pretty averse to risky-changes within an OS release, but even that doesn't seem to be the case anymore with Windows 11.

Yes, absolutely. The Russian military is still a piece of shit using scared conscripts and outdated equipment. As long as the EU remains willing to fund the Ukrainian defense, they'll keep fighting.

The real question is whether the EU will still be around. This weekend's election in Germany is going to be of critical importance.
