And it only costs $80bn to do so!

Agreed.

The bar can’t be “not as corrupt as America”. That’s not a bar, that’s the ground. They can and should do better.

I mean, they’re games meant for kids, man. Why the fuck are you expecting a challenge? The skill ceiling of pokemon is crazy high and building a game to challenge hardcore players would be ridiculously challenging. That being said, watched a let’s play, wouldn’t recommend. It looks… fucking rough and the new combat gimmick makes combat feel incredibly flat. It is an interesting idea, cooldown based combat, but letting the player move around makes it feel floaty and non-impactful.

And you’re suggesting that democrats reverse direction on a position that’s been a major driver for votes for them for decades now. Yeah, they won’t win your purple county over it, but they’ll definitely not lose all the blue counties they win because of it.

Abortion is a wedge issue because it’s one those things that feels incredibly moral no matter what side you’re on.

Anti-abortion think it’s allowing for murder cause “baby-killing”. I want to give it more depth than that, but that’s about as deep as it goes

Pro-abortion correctly calls that it doesn’t save anywhere near as many babies as it will kill both babies and mothers. A reality we’re seeing play out with the overturn of Roe v Wade

This is one of the unfortunate cases where religions are wrong and will need to adjust to reality. Hell, most evangelicals adjusted to seeing abortion as morally wrong in the last 50 years or so (to convince them to vote republican)

The cool thing about catholicism is that the pope can and does change the rules. He just needs to be proactive on this and explain to his flock why it needs to change.

Really sounds like catholics need to stop being stupid about abortion. You rush to baptize dying newborns cause they now have souls, but there’s no fear for stillborns since they don’t. Maybe aligning that shit with your abortion stance would fix the issue.

Talk to your pope about that, maybe?

Lol. Lmao even

Nope. Not even this. Still useless crap. MS Paint would’ve been better.

Holy shit. You’re the first right-winger I’ve seen on lemmy. Pathetic!

Yeah, but was he friendly to the corporate donors? That’s all the current leadership in the party cares about. You need their funding to lose elections in staggering ways

New public toilet opening up.

Why the ai slop? It’s not really needed for anything. You wasted a gallon of water for that?

Genocide in Gaza, Genocide in the West Bank. Almost like a two-state doesn’t work (see apartheid state)

No. He can’t do tariffs without legislative approval. This is where the house would impeach him due to his blatant disregard of the constitution and the breaking of his path of office. Or the Supreme Court would step in to strip him of his illegal power.

… except the legislature and courts are captured by his party. The founding fathers were fucking idiots for thinking that “each branch competes against the others” without considering what would happen if allies captured all the branches. All of the safeguards against “hasty action” have become the cuffs that bind us against stopping this. They really did just make a king with a troublesome government in his way. And now the government is stepping out of the way.

Yeah, so yeah. Wild speculation. Those are some interesting dots, but they don’t make your unicorn even if you connect them all.

Requires a presidential signature, like most legislation. It could only do anything if it had super majority votes, thus making it veto proof.

Showing that there’s more senate support against this policy isn’t nothing, but I do take your point.

This is some wild fucking speculation. You got any basis for this claim or just vibes?

34% of single-family housing are now rented out. We’re not building enough housing, a fact that hasn’t changed since the housing bubble collapsed. So, a lack of investment in new property, large funds putting money into existing properties instead, and less risky homeowners overall means we don’t really have a housing bubble. We have a supply shortage, leading to high prices. The correction for that isn’t a crash.

Exactly. Sexy costumes are now mandated by weather.
