Paul Pelosi attacker offers apology in emotional testimony: ‘He was never my target’ by Gargleblaster in c/nottheonion@lemmy.world
[-] Gargleblaster@kbin.social 77 points 1 year ago

What in that article explains his apology better?

He switched from left to right because of a youtube video and then broke into a government official's house with a deadly weapon.

He then used the deadly weapon when he knew he would be caught.

Fuck him.

His sad snff snff Rittenhouse dance in court is just to avoid life in prison.

Did American History X foreshadow the resurgence of white nationalism in the US? by Gargleblaster in c/news@lemmy.world
[-] Gargleblaster@kbin.social 53 points 1 year ago

No. American History X was pretty on the mark for the state of the US in 1999.

Trump 'telling it like it is' and how he was going to make Mexico pay for the border wall were what brought all the racist scum out of the woodwork.

Political correctness gets a lot of flak, but what it did was raise the bar. If you have to be careful to call one group of students 'first years' and not 'freshmen', then you know damn well calling different ethnic groups slurs is not acceptable. The PC movement drove the racists further into the closet, and then Trump was a big dinner bell to bring that shit back out again.

Why does free speech only seem to cut one way?

We have to have free speech because corporations are humans who need to be free to pollute the political process with money, but oh no you can't gather and talk about things I hate.

This guy over at Mastodon conducted his own research about supermarket prices in Austria.

That's some damning shit.

I can only imagine the shit going on in the US.

We need bullet trains, not more passenger jets.

The Main Lesson From ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Should Be ‘People Hate Microtransactions’ by Gargleblaster in c/gaming@beehaw.org
[-] Gargleblaster@kbin.social 43 points 1 year ago

Baldur’s Gate 3 is certainly the latest and most prominent example, but Elden Ring, both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. The Witcher 3. The Last of Us Part 1 and 2. No cash shops, substantive DLC, if there is any.

And what do all those games have in common?

They're solo games.

It's PvP and MMOs where you can purchase an advantage, show off your bling, or purchase expansions to get a head start on the competition. That is where the microtransaction infestation occurs.

Nautica Voyage is available at Walmart and pharmacies for about twenty bucks, and I like it as much as any of my airport Duty Free purchases.

It's an aquatic with a fresh apple-ey high note and musk at the bottom that doesn't really smell very musky to me.

The only reason I would hesitate to wear it is if Ima be interacting with some fragrance snob.

Anybody who doesn't know much about men's fragrances won't even know that it's cheap.

Barbarians of the fediverse, how about y'all move on from massive axes? (kbin.social)

Don't get me wrong, I know many of you also use these huge axes to manage your body hair, but enough is enough. How about spears with heads the size of a flounder? What about flounders? Have you ever seen someone get hit with a two-handed flounder? Kitchen appliances? There's a lot more creative ways to smite your enemies. You axe people are just lame. BORING!

Yale professor: Biden's economy most successful since FDR's New Deal by Gargleblaster in c/politics@lemmy.world
[-] Gargleblaster@kbin.social 30 points 1 year ago

Are we already forgetting what happened 3 years ago?

STATES and the CDC called lockdowns while the president told people it would just pass, it could be cured with sunlight, to drink bleach, and take horse dewormer.

Trump did NOT take covid seriously.

How many of the million people that died were due to him playing make believe is hard to measure, but he killed people by telling them bullshit.

Taking covid seriously was not going to save the economy. It would've saved lives, but the economic impact of covid was a global one.

Presidents do not control the economy. Obama wished people understood that.

The economy is in covid recovery, and Biden isn't a corrupt fascist running the government like it's his personal toy.

I'll give him that.

For all we know, Mr. Yale is just happy that people are paying their student loans again.
