Alberta is so fucking weird man. Conservative as hell, but also has the most secure NDP federal seat in all of Canada (Edmonton-Strathcona) since like 2008. The rural-urban divide in Western Canada is honestly crazy when you get down to the nitty gritty of it.

Make that three, I also call him that whenever he comes up.

They're banning explicit manga AND erotica? Gooners, you gotta rise up and save the Michigan fujoshis and fudanshi!

In all seriousness, the real reason is clear, conservatives love telling on themselves:

Schriver's bill also has a transphobic component. If adopted into law, the act includes prohibitions on material that "includes a disconnection between biology and gender by an individual of one biological sex imitating, depicting, or representing himself or herself to be of the other biological sex."

~~Someone in the Michigan legislature got caught being too into femboys or something similarly stupid, probably.~~

My bad, in the article he does specify that whoever bails him out is a patriot, but I remember him on a livestream saying that Paul Pelosi deserved it, because the conspiracy theory he wanted to talk to the attacker about is the one where he's Paul Pelosi's secret boyfriend. The rights pushed a lot of homophobic narratives about the attack at the time.

I wish I could link you to a source, but unfortunately Google and other searches for anything related to Kirk is pulling up the breaking news about his death and sensationalist reactions to it. If you want to try to find it yourself, it should be in media from end of 2022/beginning of 2023.

Interesting reflection of Lemmy demographics that I haven't seen much "But he has a wife and kids, we shouldn't be celebrating his death uwu" rhetoric. Apparently even the most staunch centrists here acknowledge the harm Toiler Paper USA has done to the US populace.

There's some insane laundering of his legacy going on now over on Reddit and through American news outlets though, as if he didn't call Paul Pelosi's attacker a "patriot" or dismiss school shootings as a necessary evil of the 2nd amendment. MSNBC even fired a political analyst over calling him "divisive."

I'm not one of those people who blame every ill of the world on the "neoliberal cucks" or whatever, but damn if they don't have a point regarding the corporate capture of the United States news media currently.

Wait, you can't open a basic chequing account with bad credit? I've never heard of this before.

Oh no, I 100% agree with everything you've said here.

My point was 1) the flotillas have been happening for a few months now and has gotten more people sympathetic to the situation (Greta for example live-streamed being boarded and captured by the IDF in...June I think?) and 2) The IDF don't WANT the easy PR win. They want Gaza empty.

I give it a 30% chance that Israel military kills them and blames Hamas, a 60% chance that Hamas kills them and blames it on Israel… And a 10% chance of surviving…

They've been doing this May and I don't think anyone has died/gone "missing" in the Flotillas yet. Israel doesn't want the PR win, they usually use the opportunity of the news media's attention being turned to the Flotillas to launch some extra drone strikes in Gaza. Murdering Palestinians is much more important to them.

Yeah I'm not surprised about the Thiel/Epstein thing, I'm more surprised that the NHS is considering any sort of private health data handling by PALANTIR of all companies.

You misunderstood: current gen isn't getting price drops while previous gen usually did. Current gen PS5/Pro and Xbox Series S/X are all actually more expensive now factoring in inflation (excluding the impact of the tariffs) than at launch. Since the Switch 2 literally launched two months ago, we can't really talk about price drops for it, so we compare the Switch 1. The article headline is correct, and all of this is in the body of the article.

That's not what this article is talking about though. It's talking about how single generation consoles don't get any price drops anymore. The comparison isn't Switch 1 vs Switch 2 prices, it's launch Switch 1 vs current Switch 1 prices.

Like let's vent about Nintendo all we want, but at least let's read the article first.
