I am in constant awe of how these people are incapable of pointing the finger towards the issue here.

I am aware that maga is a cult, but we have reached the point where Trump and the Republicans are openly, brazenly committing acts that their own supporters disagree with. How much more obvious does the situation need to become before people start placing the blame where it belongs?

You probably don’t want that answer.

Feels bad to realize your profession isn’t particularly useful outside of the U.S. I’d like to stay and fight regardless, but the reality is if I stop being able to get my meds there won’t be much I can do besides being fodder.

a lot of Asia is aware they need immigration to succeed,

While this is true, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re open to it or that the immigration process is any easier for it.

as for Europe Spain is he most friendly to immigrants

I’ve heard that attitude is changing due to gentrification issues. Lots of remote workers have taken to the country and cost of living has apparently risen up in response.

I’m not entirely sure about either of these personally though(insight from people who live there would be wonderful), but I have heard about about the issues.

It’s something to keep in mind.

Don’t alienate those 36.32%. I’m sure some of us have strong feelings about their choices, but at the end of the day they outnumber Democrats and Republicans each by quite a bit. If you want to see change you are going to have to convince some of them to join you. This goes for elections and this goes for revolutions.

Yeah people meme about it but the addiction exists.

Even before microtransactions were huge on mmos, I remember people letting Runescape ruin them. Knew a guy with 3 daughters who was divorced over it. Had an old friend who wouldn’t last more than two weeks at any job cause he’d quit to play and the whole group we played with would get to hear his girlfriend screaming at him over it sometimes (he did get better though).

Now days we have gachas and games with loot boxes so it’s even more predatory.

I get what they were going for considering I’ve known certain people who have been so addicted to specific games that they’ve ruined their lives but I don’t think Walz is in that crowd. He’s still married, looks like he’s a great father who’s involved with his kids and is a more responsible and active politician than 90% of those in politics.

It’s such a poor jab. Besides gaming being this mainstream hobby that everyone partakes of these days, there’s also the fact that even if he was irresponsible, the youngest two of the voting generations would vibe with it. I know people who overspend their money or ignore reality entirely because they feel helpless. It’s a symptom of a problem.

You mean hope that they too don’t become subject to enshittification? I don’t have a lot of faith in that.

Besides that, Google is controlling as fuck. They might keep fucking themselves over but there’s no way they won’t start attempting to ruin things for the rest of us.
