We usually just import American issues but with a 2 to 5 year delay.

TropicalDingdong,

You’ll be very excited to know that we’re currently working on the Civil War Two: Baka Texas expansion pack. We should have it out of the beta stage and into production here in a few weeks, and you’ll be hearing about it non-stop until forever!

DragonTypeWyvern,

I’m personally excited for the release after that, Christian Hunting Season. The evangelicals have been hyping it for a while, they’re honestly so into it I’m a little worried it’s a fetish thing but it certainly sounds like a good time!

Stop, we’re just on the verge of electing our Trump-like politician. I’ve had to cut out US political news because the prophecies are too foreboding.

Let me guess, the UK?

Edit: ahh Canada, a close second

TheGrandNagus, (edited )

The Brexit clusterfuck was prior to the Trump clusterfuck, and certainly prior to Texit.

Shit, chief neoliberal shithead Reagan is just Thatcher with a USA badge slapped on the front.

okamiueru,

Weirdly how well both aligned with Russian interests.

perviouslyiner,

Brexit was the practice run for trying to influence an election

The US, for one

krondo,

Came here to post this :)

stmcld,

Lol same, but i see a few people beat us to it.

WhiteOakBayou, in What's something you're proud of doing?

I took up an instrument for the first time in my late 30s and have gotten okay at it. If I was 8 years old people would nod politely to my parents after my recital.

BackOnMyBS,
@BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world avatar

what instrument? what songs are you playing, or are you originating music??

WhiteOakBayou,

Mandolin. Playing Bach, American folk standards and children’s songs. Started la vie en rose tonight. No original material but it’s been fun to do something I, for a reason I no longer remember, thought was beyond me. My wife loves it. My kids are annoyed that I follow them around like a restaurant mariachi playing the same songs over and over lol.

Sounds fun. Don’t forget about Losing My Religion! I play guitar and drums. When I first started with guitar, I only played covers as if the only thing that mattered was my technical capacity. Once I learned a scale out if curiosity, I discovered a wholeeeee new world. I no longer bother with covers. I hope you find some courage to engage in creating something new, and if you do, please share it with me if you feel comfortable 🙂

WhiteOakBayou,

Thanks for the tip about scales. Music theory has been on my mind as something to learn after I get technically good but maybe I should move it up in the batting order.

kromem, in So is the US slipping into Civil War?

I mean, isn’t this kind of keeping with the theme of US civil wars so far?

If I was creating a civil war bingo card based on history of civil wars in the US, “starts over how people with darker skin can be abused or not” would certainly have been on it.

AstridWipenaugh,

There was a very real economic driver for slavery. Totally morally bankrupt, but it’s a reason. This is pure malice for the sake of a culture war.

Joker, in If Trump loses in 2024, do you think he'd run in 2028?

I hope he will be running from a psycho with a shank at ADX Florence in 2028. There’s a decent chance he will be dead in 2028 though. He’s not exactly the picture of fitness and good health. He’s an old, fat pig who lives on junk food.

More seriously, he has zero chance in 2028 if he loses in 2024, which is almost certainly what will happen. He’s been decisively rejected by voters once already. I find it hard to believe he has won over any new voters with his behavior since the last election.

Or maybe the government will step up and treat him like the terrorist that he is. If it was anyone else, they’d be waterboarding him with Diet Coke at Guantanamo right now. I mean, he’s openly calling for states to send the National Guard to Texas to fight the federal government. This fucker is on trial for insurrection and he’s out trying to incite another insurrection. Holy shit.

He’s had his deranged followers make threats against judges, prosecutors, federal agents, etc. He’s threatened his opponent in the primaries with a federal investigation if she doesn’t drop out of the race. He’s threatened her donors.

This dude is straight up nuts. I think it’s a legitimate question whether he’s eventually detained for the safety of the public pending his trials. At what point do the feds have an obligation to protect the country from this lunatic?

Forget about him and 2028. He might not even make it through 2024.

Heir_Of_Isildur,

Weeds don’t die. I wouldn’t be surprised if the fat fuck chokes on a burger tomorrow… But i also wouldn’t be surprised if he lives another 20 years

Crewman,

Yeah, shitty thing about death is it kind of just does what it wants.

Empricorn, in What are some problems that countries outside the U.S. are dealing with?

My eyes don’t both face the same direction.

Omni-directional awareness is a plus.

PeepinGoodArgs, in What are some problems that countries outside the U.S. are dealing with?

Island nations are facing rising sea levels thanks to climate change.

someguy3, (edited )

Really it’s time to abandon a lot of islands. And Florida. Damn I should buy a house before that migration happens. But I guess Floridians would want somewhere warm so Texas, Alabama, etc are gonna get it.

FoxyFerengi, in Seeking Perspectives: Trans Athletes in Women's Sports

If we ban trans women who’ve been on estrogen for two+ years bared on genetics, then we should also ban athletes with genetic advantages like Michael Phelps. I’m not in favor of banning people

Vanth, in What are some problems that countries outside the U.S. are dealing with?
@Vanth@reddthat.com avatar

Australia is getting battered with storms rn with several people killed. Fights over tax cuts for the wealthy. Protests over Gaza and immigration policies. The largest specimen ever of the most venomous type of spider was found; it will now be used in a venom-milking program to help make antivenoms, because no matter what’s going on the tropes must be fulfilled.

South Africa: Major energy crisis

Global: ADHD drug shortage

vivavideri,

AGAIN?!

tourist,
@tourist@lemmy.world avatar

It never ended

I’m guessing the lack of ADHD medication led some of those in charge of solving the problems to procrastinate.

vivavideri,

I had to switch to generic Vyvanse, at first because they couldn’t get brand out here, but now because insurance is like lol fuck you get generic or we won’t bother covering it

cactus_head,
@cactus_head@programming.dev avatar

I feel like those two problems could solve each other

Today,

Like a hamster wheel setup? They’re too distracted to stay on the wheel.

sharkfucker420, in If Trump loses in 2024, do you think he'd run in 2028?
@sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml avatar

Running for his life I hope

sbv, in Other than Lemmy, what are you doing tonight?

Getting buzzed and gaming. Not a great evening.

Mereo,

It’s good to be a Canadian :)

O_i,

I think that’s a great evening

sbv,

It’s okay from time to time. I’ve been doing it too much recently.

Stache_,

Well it’s good you recognize that at least. Moderation is key

9715698,

I was doing that a lot over the holidays, and decided to do a dry January. It is doing wonders for my gaming nights. You could try it next month (shortest one of the year, so a little less commitment).

dmention7,

I hope you find yourself soon in a place where getting buzzed and gaming is a positive instead of negative

Cheers 🤜

ohlaph,

Sounds like a great time though.

RememberTheApollo,

This is acceptable. Not an everyday thing, but Friday? Sure.

Pronell, in Other than Lemmy, what are you doing tonight?

Drinking beer, doing dabs, and watching Taskmaster with my wife while we eat frozen pizza.

Not a bad evening, really.

someguy3,

What’s taskmaster?

Pronell,

British gameshow on YouTube.

There are other countries versions now.

Basically comedians being given ridiculous tasks and given no prizes for it.

Raptor_007,

I’ll bet that pizza will be even better if you heat it up first

reversebananimals,

Hi dad

Blackmist, in So is the US slipping into Civil War?

Could they not at least bunch up a bit so it’s easier to build a wall around them?

0x4E4F, in Other than Lemmy, what are you doing tonight?

Buzzed as well, on my laptop, trying to figure out why my xbps template is not working correctly.

What I would actually like to do is go out and find an alt girl to spend the night with, but that won’t be happening tonight.
