meanwhile im already seeing "moderate" "pundits" saying the reason Harris lost is because she was too woke and Democrats need to move further right 🙃

...Awful?

It's so fitting and poetic that, just when I finally start getting my life in order, the world throws itself off a cliff.

Given how reactionary the average Gen Z guys are, this is less of a protest and more of a self-preservation tactic.

Came here to suggest Unbound too!

I'm the same way (also have ADHD). I love Subnautica*'s underwater gameplay and alien moon aesthetic, but I can only really play it in Creative Mode since I really like building bases and exploring without worrying about resources and dying.

(* I have Below Zero instead because I like the snowy aesthetic and playing as a girl 😅)

Cassette Beasts is so good.

I'm not hopeful. I've already seen centrists and pundits saying that Harris lost because she's "too progressive" and that Dems need to move further right.

Given Dems' track record, I'm dreading 2028 is going to be JD Vance versus fucking RFK Jr. or Joe Manchin. At least the only silver lining out of THAT shitshow will be seeing the Democratic Party completely implode after completely alienating their voter base to become a carbon copy of the Republican Party (while Repub voters just keep voting R) and hopefully pave ground for an actual progressive party replace them, but that will hardly offset the horrors of 8 years of unrestrained fascism (assuming the left wins in 2032 🥲)

I'm not American or European, but my country likes to follow whatever America does and our far-right has in the past tried to get their help to stage a coup, so I'm worried about this as well - they couldn't get Biden's support, but they are buddies with Trump and he is more than happy to assist. I'm pretty sure my country is going to follow the US and throw itself off a cliff in two years, and I really hope I have an emergency escape hatch come 2026-2027...

To be fair, Stirner was a pretty cool dude, so I get why :p

Yeah. I pretty much have to play it with mods that double/triple the daytime length, or I just feel perpetual anxiety over not being able to get anything done in a day.

I don't like the idea of claiming a whole group I disagree with is comprised of bots or paid agents trolling to create division, but at this point, the only plausible alternatives to that are either those people are having a severe martyr complex, or just are so overly privileged that they are divorcing themselves from reality and don't/can't comprehend the consequences of what they're advocating, essentially treating this whole thing like a sports game.

Or maybe both, and are trying to throw trans people, black people, women, etc. under the bus to fuel their martyr complex in their stead.
