I think they misspelled "Tim Apple". Probably should also start saying Bill Microsoft, Mark Facebookburg, and Sam AI just for kicks.

if your lower body is not in the shot– no pants this is just science
The problem in US politics is that both sides are unreasonable and have ridiculous views about each other. Republicans think that all Democrats are Soros-funded baby murdering communist radicals. Democrats think that all Republicans are rational beings who can be reasoned and compromised with.
Everyone else is playing SIlksong? Perfect time to finally continue Deltarune; let's see what three months of dodging spoilers has done for me! Chapter 3 of Deltarune, live at www.twitch.tv/galacticbaron
May I kindly suggest you redirect your antagonistic attitude to someone who gives a fuck?
"What if we funded childcare, punished men who assault minors, destigmatize pregnancy, mandate paid leave for new parents, and actually prosecute individuals/companies when they break those rules?" "No no no we just meant outawing consent laws".
Good luck killing the internet internet and every single built-in redundancy to make sure the imaginary numbers never are effected. We have way more safeguards for Wall Street alone than the entirety of the US Government's various databases.
Can't find a single thing wrong with this...
TBF, we never really had a say in the matter. It's not like any one of us had the power to go back in time and kill Wall Street.
Given that it's a three person team where none of them is the marketer I wonder if they just thought "day one orders break Steam" was free marketing.
Steam yes. I don't actually know for eShop, and I've been using it for a decade. :D
He's gonna need a lot more money...
Questions I wish I could ask at work but can't: "Have you taken into consideration the fact that our new AI data centers being burned down would do less environmental damage than actually using them does?"
My toxic habit: Taking lessons I learn in school and using/applying them in my daily life.
Excited for 90% of the people I follow on Twitch to be playing Silksong.
Just like Yemen, just like Iran. The Trump administration controls the bombs and wants to use them.
Fall with him too then.
I hate that I'm having to be on the side of "keep Google powerful" and here we are.
Not even just the boycott; a ton of YouTube's audience is kids, and a lot of them might just actually be locked out in different jurisdictions. But I guess if the list viewers were dominantly the UK that'd be more identifiable.
Yeah... I pretty much alternate between Aldi (who at least lets cashiers have chairs) and a local grocery chain, but living at the far edge of suburbia means it's usually Amazon if I need something like dehumidifier bags or fan parts, unfortunately...
Biden said something mean about MAGA and his own party gave him shit.
The good news is that they're all incredibly incompetent at any and all building and infrastructure work. The bad news is how lethal they are while doing literally anything, of course.
Only 6 months? Damn, a full month after Trump took office. What took so long? 🤣 Disclaimer: This is a joke.
Amazon's version comes with all the articles, even the ones Congress removed.
Funny how you really seem to think that me criticizing a politician for being a bad politician means the solution is that I should in turn be a politician. Genuinely, it's such an inherently ridiculous idea it's not even worth pointing out the insane logical fallacy of it.
I'm running a campaign to ban stupid comments on the internet, make Kinder Eggs legal again, and limit immigration only to people who make less than $15k a year as of 2024. I have three endorsements, all from dogs. If you think that's ridiculous wait until you read your own comment again.
And I'm absolutely livid that all Democrats are doing now is fundraising and lying that they'll do better next time, while their simps and bots run around social media pretending everything would be rosy under Kamala (when Kamala herself said she wanted a police state and lethal military).
I voted for the alternative, knowing I was voting for something grotesque that wanted death in Gaza and to take away trans healthcare. I'm fucking pissed that Kamala and her team fucked up so badly that they gave Trump the win. I'm more pissed that they tricked tons of people into blaming leftists.
My phone is so garbage I can't upload a photo to BlueSky without running out of RAM. That's incredibly frustrating.
Yeah, since Silksong was just supposed to be an expansion at first.
Really, *really* wish there was a god damn primary.
Probably best to just block the troll replying over and over; it has no life.
Fuck off, bot.
You use that word but have no idea what it means.
No matter how many times you lie and say this account liked their own comment it won't make it true.
Factually incorrect; you an see who likes comments on BlueSky, and this account did not do so. Deleting your post to re-create it to hide me calling you out isn't going to save you.
When the bio says "Socially liberal and fiscally conservative" that just says it all. You really can't be socially liberal without recognizing all the harm done by conservative economic policies.
You can see who likes comments on BlueSky. This account did not.
The Democrat-defending simps love to pretend that holding occasional speeches and accepting bribes from lobbyists and corporations is meeting the moment. They really do believe that the world would be perfect now if a center-right Dem was in power. LOL, or dare I say: LAWL
God, the liberal defending bots on BlueSky are intolerable. None of you know how to read or use critical thinking; it's truly laughable how ignorant you are.
Illinois has early voting, I voted after Walz but before the hardcore Liz Cheney campaign and "I won't change anything from Biden". Doesn't mean I'm not allowed to criticize people who still lie and claim the Dems are meeting the moment.
The Democrats in federal office are failures. I refuse to engage with simp bots licking their feet and screaming for others to join in.
I threw under the bus? I voted for Kamala, I told people Trump would be worse, I yell at Republicans way more than Democrats, and in return the Democrats have given us nothing but corporate bought fascist apologists. I did what I was told to, they pinky promised to be better, they lied. Fuck them.
You're missing the point; the point is that a ton of people are content to throw other people under the bus so that they can have a comfortable life. That's what Kamala was: The bus driver.
Like I said, that's why I just block them and move on. If someone can't tell that a reply like this with no likes is just a troll that's probably their problem.
There are just so, so many bots on this platform, let alone the internet as a whole... I dunno if it's possible to call them all out.
Funny story: Kamala lost the popular vote. Not even Hillary did that. Sure, you could argue that it wasn't a fair race because American Democracy is bad, but in order to do that you have to agree that our Democracy has NEVER been a true Democracy, and Kamala winning wouldn't have fixed that.
Yes, the Middle class American would have been able to continue nothing was wrong in the world if Kamala was President. White supremacy would have continued to rise unchecked, genocide would continue in Gaza, and police brutality would be even worse, but at least WASPs would be safe.
I'd just block the troll, it has no desire to engage in good faith and only wants to piss people off.
She's failed twice now. We need someone who's not just "Same old", finally.
It does to this account's popularity, since a lot of people like the copium.
"Republican politician likes Trump" isn't news. "People on Twitter wished hurt person well" isn't news. "Someone got angry and said something" isn't news. "Trump mumbled something random to a reporter" is only news because bad journalists legitimized it until he ended up in the White House twice.
Long holiday stream! I might be near the end of Disco Elysium; I'm dying to know how it all ends... And if Kim really loves me. :3 Disco Elysium endgame time, live on www.twitch.tv/galacticbaron
Where is this energy when it comes to the New York Times or Facebook?
Classic Democrats: While the rest of the world is dealing with the fallout of their failure to meet the moment they release a book (that they probably didn't write). Still pissed that she dropped the ball running alongside Liz Cheney against Trump.
The funny thing about MAGA is how it's a mixture of christo-fascists like Vance and Thiel, anti-religion fascists like RFK2 and Musk, and apathetic heathen fascists like Trump. Their belief systems are totally at odds, but they all agree on one thing: Everyone else is disposable.
Nah, should go the Steve Jobs route; ignore all the experts and eat an all fruit diet and meditate until you drop dead.
I know at least one right leaning gay man who really doesn't like women, and is very glad he's not attracted to them so he can shit talk them. Wouldn't be surprised if a number of gay Republicans are in that camp.
I mean impossible to go back and fix if you didn't. AKA if you're already in the fight and didn't know you needed it you have to grind 10k coins, reset your file, or win the fight.
Too bad the former is impossible by the time you actually reach the fight.
Yep, wasn't arguing with you, just making sure we didn't turn this into "Red states always have more murders than blue ones", both because that's not true and because there really isn't such thing as a red or blue state (just more or less authoritarian/kiss-assy state leadership).
Yeah, definitely just talking to a spambot here. Fuck off, loser.
You're the one making outlandish claims online and calling for violence then getting defensive and changing the subject when you get pushback. It's not my job to justify your argument; it's yours.
Me: "You said something that is easily proven but not popularly held, can you prove it?" You: "Yes. No. Shut up. Bye!" Genuinely couldn't have asked for a more frustrating discussion; feels like my time was painfully wasted today. Congrats I guess.
Says the account who posts 3-4 different replies to every post I make and reposts almost all of his replies on his own timeline. Genuinely spam level posting.
You sure went fast from "I'll show some" to "Nope, you're on your own".
Citation for "vigilantes killed a lot of fascists in Europe after World War II". Your entire argument is based on a populist revolution, please prove that it happened.
If you're talking about taxes; while I agree, best as I can tell the logistical mechanisms to actually organize this are very frustrating due to how they're set up.
Why do you think that wealthy parents put their kids in private schools? They specifically want them to learn different lessons, and they want the public to pay for them to do so.
Fascististic? Yeah. But credit where credit is due; the US is just as willing to do terrible racism as the Nazis were.
You think it's a coincidence that noted antisemites Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor, and Candace Owens are suddenly attacking Israel for genocide? Israel is not the same as all of the world's Jewish population, and anyone saying otherwise is a bigot.
Never said I wasn't. It was the US who led the occupation of west Germany, the US who led the hiring of Nazi scientists, and the US who funded the right-wing institutions that they failed to bring down, while US soldiers marched the streets. And I'm still waiting on a citation for the vigilantes.
I disagree; statistically, incumbents do WAY better than newcomers. If anything, it could be a subtle sign that they want to push back on the 1-2 policies (our of hundreds) they dislike that they're party is doing and are hoping to trade Musk money for book deal and podcast appearance money.
Yeah... I'm not. Citizens v United was a horrid thing for the US. And I'm all for criticizing both Israel and AIPAC, but I'm inherently skeptical these days any time I criticize a Republican and someone jumps in to say "Israel sucks" because a ton of antisemites pretend to be seeking justice.
*citation needed America in the 1930s was about as racist and xenophobic as the Nazis; we *inspired* them. We have a lot more evidence of collaboration and sheltering them than we do of vigilante violence against them.
You truly didn't read my post, did you? I said "AIPAC is just one of the reasons to call out Mike Johnson as a horrible person". AKA, it's on the bad list. You seem to be under the impression that I'm pro-AIPAC and pro-Mike Johnson, when I literally said the opposite. Also, learn to chain replies.
This just factually isn't true. Nuremberg was divided due to how much effort was put into debating whether they deserved a "fair trial", and after that we just put the fascists to work on our side in favor of arguing with the Soviets instead. We (the US) even reached out to fascist Spain.
Are you a bot? I didn't defend them, you're spamming my replies and re-posting all your own posts, and you're just spamming memes.
There are a ton of corporate interests buying politicians; AIPAC is just one of them. Mike should also be called out for homophobia, misogyny, covering up child abuse, and calling for Trump to invade cities he doesn't like to kill people might hate. Major Christo-fascist.
I think I figured it out guys... Mainline Dems are *trying* to save Democracy, because they want to piss us off enough that we do it ourselves, and they know that it will motivate people more if they don't do their jobs and act only obstructionist. Well, let's give them what they want.
Among many other terrible things... Horrible person.
Remember everyone: Just impeaching Trump isn't the answer. Next in line is Vance, followed by Mike Johnson. The only valid answer is to ensure that none of them can hold power ever again.
I have four different Kickstarters I ordered in 2023 and one from 2024 I'm still waiting on. Every single one has had to say "Yeah, so, um, tariffs". Wish more companies had this energy pre Trump; maybe they should have said "Don't vote for the fucking loser who wants tariffs".
It really feels like he's just threatening them to exert control or more money to waste. If they'd quit backing down it'd be harder for him to do either.
I even clarified exactly what I meant in the reply to my post. You do know how to use this site, right? If not then I think I see your problem...
If you're going to complain about what I said read the whole thread. It was about people complaining that Millennials are teenagers. That complainer group is 100% Baby Boomers. I didn't feel the need to clarify because the person I was talking to got it, because it was just one post earlier.
Reading a book, in a video game? It's more likely than you think. Finishing up sidequests in Disco Elysium before I advance the plot too far, live at www.twitch.tv/galacticbaron
I'm willing to negotiate people somewhat to the right of me economically; I don't know everything, issues are complicated, and solutions are equally complex. I'm not willing to negotiate once human rights are involved. To the right of me is "These people deserve less rights"; just fuck that.
I think "Oh my god we could house so many people here"
Ah, I see you went to the "I assume I'm better than everyone" school of complaining on the internet. Get fucked, asshole.
Don't put words in my mouth; I said RETIRE. As in, kick the old fucks with no real world experience outside of politics of office because they're clearly incapable of doing anything except demeaning others. There is no evidence that white collar work keeps the brain younger.
Baby Boomers are in their 60s or older right now. Most of them *could* retire, and the ones that are excited to are usually in blue collar roles. My issue are the ones in positions of power or influence, like politics or legacy media, who refuse to acknowledge other people besides themselves exist.
The only demographic who still thinks Millennials are teenagers are a specific portion of Baby Boomers who are incapable of understanding the concept of change. Ergo, it's a problem unique to Baby Boomers, even if not all Baby Boomers have it. "Not All Boomers", if you will.
That is not what I said. I said that "People who call Millennials teenagers" is a circle inside of "Baby Boomers". Gen X doesn't call Millennials teenagers; those are their kids. Millennials know they're growing old. Gen Z are almost all older than teenagers themselves.
JB Pritzker's speech about Trump's threats to Chicago was great. -Called out the lie, didn't treat the BS pretext with respect -Cast it as a threat to his state's people -Threatened prosecution of personnel who break the law @brianbeutler.bsky.social and @gregsargent.bsky.social break it down here:
Statistically, the people who still think that Millennials are teenagers is a circle inside the larger circle that is "Baby Boomer". Not all Boomers are complainers, but all complainers are Boomers. So if ALL Boomers (especially the wealthy and corrupt ones) retire, we'd be better off.
I, too, wish Baby Boomers would actually retire, get off the internet, and go do something productive with their lives that isn't complaining about things they don't understand. And also that legacy media would mysteriously go bankrupt and vanish into obsolescence; starting with the Times.
No, because they don't trust polls and block people who disagree with them. They only trust the PACs and corporations who pay consultants 6 digit salaries to say "Yeah, Kamala was too lefty, move right".
Murder isn't a purely red/blue issue, there are some blue/purple states in the top ten, and the top 25. It's just that it's the most left leaning ones Trump wants to attack.
That and they're desperately afraid of all the non right wing folks living in that city.
