Imagine that, buying cheap sludge from a waste plant in an unregulated capitalist state had negative outcomes?

Wow!

Biden wasn’t involved in the Afghanistan pullout, actually. That was definitively Trump.

They let Mods use mod profiles to spread misinformation in this sub?

Wow.

Edit:

Moving the relevant bits from Wikipedia above the debate so people will have a frame of reference.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020–2021_U.S._troop_withdrawal_from_Afghanistan

The United States Armed Forces completed their withdrawal from Afghanistan on 30 August 2021, marking the end of the 2001–2021 war. In February 2020, the Trump administration and the Taliban signed the United States–Taliban deal in Doha, Qatar,[7] which stipulated fighting restrictions for both the US and the Taliban, and provided for the withdrawal of all NATO forces from Afghanistan in return for the Taliban’s counter-terrorism commitments. The deal, and then the Biden administration’s final decision in April 2021 to pull out all US troops by September 2021 without leaving a residual force, were the two critical events that triggered the start of the collapse of the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF).[8

He went down and tried to separate the girls in their sleep while putting his hands on them.

One girl describes how unsafe she felt for her drugged friends when he was trying to separate them.

What is the intentional meaning of Scott Pilgrim besides being an awkward teen brained romance plot?

Made himself look like a fool who cares more about politics than the death of his son to me.

I’d give him a break due to his grieving, but honestly, it’s pathetic that he would let his love for his son be manipulated for political points.

He was literally trying to use his son’s death to help the man who gave the orders that got his son killed.

I dont understand what his protest was for. I’m sure there is extreme emotional duress from losing a child that recently, but what was the goal or message here?

Having limited access to a resource to then hook you on microtransactions is from mobile game design. It’s literally a freemium mechanic being put into an already upscaled price game.

It’s one of the most abusive and addictive ways to develop a game, and you want to portray that positively.

I fucking hate gamers. We’ve been having this conversation since the horse Armor DLC for Oblivion yet here we fucking are.

Elect better leadership. A state government run by a criminal mafia isn’t going to operate in your best interest.

Edit: Of course I’ve got some raging prick cussing me out below because I said go vote. You can’t even tell a Texan to vote without them giving up. This is the reasons the Republicams run this state. The voter suppression they cause can be overcome with effort, which was my point.

But the voter suppression caused by the apathy and laziness of the masses is not something that can be overcome from external forces. So either spend your effort in response to this crying about voting being impossible or work to coordinate.

I already know the outcome after having this conversation in Texas constantly for the last 20 years.

Do you expect to see the site die in a week?

How far back do you think user engagement on r/place will stall reddit failing?

Do you think not using the canvas would cause more harm than their favorite event being covered in language shitting on the CEO and making the pretty canvas not marketable?

Personally, I strongly disagree if you do think so. Even if every Lemmy user drove 0 traffic to reddit, it would change very little of their day to day engagement.

It’s important in the long term to move away from reddit and reduce engagement of the site, but the cost benefit ratio of fucking up the marketability of r/place strongly outweighs the effect users would have engaging the site.
