I wonder how many ads Vader needed to deal with.

I got a PS3 and a PS4 so I wouldn’t need to use Windows for gaming. That’s not an issue anymore, though.

You think Donald Trump can run? The guy would get two steps and then collapse from exhaustion.

So we’ll all be playing POP Stations?

Total Annihilation was an awesome game, so Taylor definitely deserves success.

In loudest din or hush profound,
My ears catch evil’s slightest sound.
Let those who toll out evil’s knell,
Beware my power: The F-Sharp Bell!

Not in a way you’d expect, at least.

Impeachment is the mechanism Congress has to remove a President. They should do it over and over again until it actually works.

This is Lemmy. Not only will the people here cheer for blood and death at every opportunity, they’ll actively oppose everything else.

Right. Because not impeaching him will work so much better.

I’ll take a Hail Mary pass, but it would go over a lot better with me if I didn’t think he was doing it solely to save his own seat.

Power never acts out of altruism, only out of self-interest. If you want things to get better, you have to put enough pressure on those in power that the things that are in their best interest are also the things that are good for society. If Larson is under enough pressure that he thinks impeaching Trump is his best strategy then that’s a good thing.

This is Lemmy. The community here will always be dead-set against anything that could bring actual progress.

Maybe they’ve got some Farscape episodes on their computers. Probably watching them enviously.

The United States’ economy depends on the goodwill of the world. Without their control of the international reserve currency it would utterly collapse. If that were to happen then the rest of the world would be in a strong position to make demands of the United States.

However, over the last few decades most western economies have become so entwined with America that a US collapse would take them down as well. Efforts have been made in the last few months to reduce those entanglements, but there’s still a long way to go. If you want justice to be brought to America then the best thing you could do is boycott US goods and service whenever possible.

How am I going to explain this to my brother‘s grandchildren?

“The United States of America was once an extremely powerful country with enormous influence around the world. While they were in the process of becoming the third-rate backwater you know today they did some really stupid things. This was one of them.”

Or use AI to generate a picture of a spraypainted wall.

What are you doing, stepladder?

Yes, do as I say!

The is Lemmy. Any time there’s even a possibility of progress being made, the goalposts go zoom!
