Sorta off topic, but ive been playing the game We Happy Few recently, and I want so badly for them to make an America DLC where you grow up going through American public school and being taught you live in the greatest nation on earth, then you stop taking your Joy and the disillusionment sets in.

That the immigrants are IN the US illegally. Is my guess.

One thing I'm noticing in these comments, and in a lot of comments threads is the "well yeah, duh. Everyone already knew that" and while I'm definitely in that camp and have done that myself, I am starting to wonder if there is danger there.

Like, this is a significant breach of privacy and trust and the kind of thing that we should be up in arms about. But we already assume the government is doing the worst movie villain shit imaginable, so when we have evidence of it we shrug it off as just another Tuesday.

Yeah, waters wet. We should still be alarmed when we see a puddle of it somewhere it shouldn't be. (I don't know if that analogy actually tracks but I'm sticking with it).

Okay, I see now the issue as this information was, in fact, old. My mistake.

[–] TheLoneMinon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's my bad. Tried updating the post but not sure if it took.

[–] TheLoneMinon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I did not realize that, I will update the post. Was not my intent to spread old info.

[–] TheLoneMinon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yeah I don't mean to detract from the other atrocities taking place. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if that's half the intent behind a lot of this.

What a world we live in where I'm locked in a moral dilemma because my country and president are the baddies, so I want to see them fail, but in this case that failure means yet another war stretches on in this decade and hundreds of thousands of people will die.

Like, on the one hand, Trump has egg on his face. But on the other hand, genocide.

I was going to make a joke like "I wanna get off this ride now" but everything's so fucked, that feels wrong and disengenous. Humor as a coping mechanism is getting less and less effective by the tweet.

How would you suggest I rephrase? The title of the article is broad and I wanted to highlight this specific tidbit. Not trying to go against the rules and will change it, but don't see the issue with it myself.

28 and also downloaded some Linkin Park that was actually George W. Bush on the good ol limewire. Admittedly I was probably the tail end of that.

Just after 05:00 GMT on Tuesday, Trump announced that the ceasefire had taken effect.

"Please do not violate it!" he urged both sides in a post on his Truth Social platform.

I mean, he said please?

Look, I don't want this war to continue and for more innocent people to die... But I do feel a slight tinge of joy when this big baby bitch looks like the big baby bitch he is. Art of the deal, amiright?

Edit: just learned how to properly format quotes

Edit 2: it would appear at the time of my posting this, there had been no further incidents and the ceasefire currently stands. Apologies for the outdated info.

Ngl I thought this thread was about Banksy up until the middle of your comment. I was surprised that he had not only been identified, but was identified by his asshole.
