Mail day! Latest round of Pokemon cards for the cube - this time its from Team Rocket so we get the powerful but lower HP Dark monsters. We've also got our first promo for the cube, the Mew in the lower right which is from around the release of the first movie
@euphoriagremlin Nightly Garbage run is a must have for any pre-Neo deck, since the biggest danger of base-fossil/rocket/gym is decking out. Oak and bill just make it too easy.
@JaneGray Don't think there won't be attempts at bloodbaths or a civil war. They tried last time, and the worst part is we learned nothing from it. We will stupidly be caught off guard again. I guarantee it.
Word to the wise: Never play a game you love with a #nerd. They will have optimized the game to the point that all of your favorite characters and strategies are complete garbage, and the only way to win is to break your thumbs on the controller, or prevent your opponent from playing at all. Fun was never an option.
Community leaders, organizers, activists, what are we doing for this month? Next month? Beyond that? Clearly justice hasn’t been served for Nex Benedict, WHICH MEANS OUR WORK ISN’T OVER!
I’m done having a wake, a cry, and another empty week, knowing each death will never be the one that pushes us over the edge. How many trans people have to die until we even begin to fight?
So this is it then? A trans person gets murdered at school, the killers don’t even get charged, and we move on like it’s another bad week? What the fuck is wrong with us?
Our lives aren’t seen worth investing when they are taken away, and yet we moved on without as much as a wimper.
I’m fucking ashamed of us. That we continue to find the state of things acceptable.
Don’t you fucking dare move on from this! Not until justice has been served.
Algorithms are not magic. They are neither good nor evil, but they also aren't neutral. They are just math recipes written by regular ol' dumb human beings, and so they don't absolve us of our responsibilities as human beings. If anything, they amplify them. If you make a bad batch of enchiladas, that's really just a problem for you. If you program a computer to make unlimited batches of bad enchiladas, well now you are assaulting the entire world—the whole enchilada, as it were.
Stop going to Harry Potter land and Harry Potter on Broadway and the Harry Potter store. When brands collaborate with Harry Potter, complain to them. Make it uncomfortable to stoke and celebrate violence against us.
@ryanhoulihan People won’t even drop twitter despite them platforming nazis. I don’t trust even the most vocal of “allies” to drop their wizard brand either.
Remember Digg? It once made a big mistake. Everyone left Digg and joined Reddit. Someday, history will repeat itself. That day, Reddit stock will crash post-IPO. Their entire businesses are based on users, and they have been hostile to users for some time.
@nixCraft You say that, but I’ve seen so many people bounce back to #reddit and #twitter after they got bored with the alternatives, or forgot why they were mad at those platforms.
Doesn’t help that fed’s answer to Reddit #lemmy ended up being taken over by chuds.
@Methylcobalamin@Roundcat@nixCraft A pro Z Marxist no less? How do you reconcile that without deluding yourself into thinking Russia is still the Soviet Union?
@Daojoan That’s my sister you’re describing. We live in an unsafe part of the country, and she plans on going further once we’re able to move to a safer area.
Imagine a world where the arts flourish because creators aren't bogged down by financial worries. Where innovations leap forward because brilliant minds can focus on solving problems rather than making ends meet. Universal Basic Income isn't a cost, it's an investment in humanity's future.
