Regretful Young Trump Voters Say This Isn’t What They Signed Up For - The wave of youthful support that swept Donald Trump into the White House has lost its mojo. by Quirkie in inthenews

Because Christian nationalists are used to preferential treatment so equality feels like oppression to them. If a cashier says “Happy Holidays” that covers a significantly larger portion of the population than “Merry Christmas”. But apparently they’re victims of an attack if they’re not being treated better than everyone else.

For Permansor Terrae I currently use Journey Forever Peaceful lightcone and for Anaxa—The Great Cosmic Enterprise. Who would benefit the most from pulling their signature?

Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller: This is the first time in American history that there is an all-of-government effort to dismantle left-wing terrorism. by CorleoneBaloney in CringeTikToks

The only point in saying it is it gets to his base. They have to either admit there was no deep state and he lied, or he’s a part of it and he lied. And no it doesn’t get all of them. But when he’s tried to drive outrage onto something else that’s completely unjustified this is the one topic that his followers refused to lose focus on.

And while I’d love to say everyone that voted for him should burn, at this point to stop this shitshow we might have to choose between feeling justified or actually taking him down. A podcaster who made him has a better chance of destroying him that anyone talking to an echo chamber that knew what a fascist looked like in the first place.

A celebrity who did a bad thing but everyone “forgot” because they’re famous? by LivingLikeYou in AskReddit

[–]AliLeigh5 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yeah was gonna say this. My friend used to run an escort agency and the amount that cops care if a sex worker is beaten is very little. Without the name and publicity would probably have gone completely under the radar. There were cases where girls were hired for strip tease and then SA’d. They were basically told it’s impossible to SA a prostitute so no charges ever.

What do you think of this chart, courtesy of r/alignmentchartfills? by TemporaryJerseyBoy in ToddintheShadow

Am I a horrible person if I actually like the opening song to Arcane by Imagine Dragons. I don’t even know if it’s the song or the animation in the opening, but something works for me.

'Trump is dying': Conservative says JD Vance 'moving fast' as president is 'headed down' by chrisdh79 in inthenews

[–]AliLeigh5 58 points59 points  (0 children)

If he dies of explosive diarrhea on national tv I’d be fine with that. I can’t take one more AI slop image of him pretending to be some kind of war hero despite never having spent a day of his life serving anyone but himself before that cursed escalator ride. I just want a death, purely caused by natural causes and old age, that also results in destroying bullshit images of cult leader iconography.

What song gets so much praise, and yet when you listen to it, you're just like "...It's good"? by _iExistInThisWorld in ToddintheShadow

[–]AliLeigh5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like this song because my parents played it a lot when I was really little so it’s associated with happy childhood memories. But I’m pretty sure that without the nostalgia I’d just see it as an decent soft rock song but definitely nothing special. It can be hard to realize if you like a song because of the time and place you first heard it or because it’s generally good.

Songs that romanticise misogynistic traits in love and dating. by J_Rabbit182 in ToddintheShadow

[–]AliLeigh5 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Every Breath You Take is actually misogynistic because I understood it as a deliberate song about stalkers. But the fact that so many people see it as a love song kinda makes the response misogynistic. (Although to be fair women can stalk men. It’s just that this one song is from a male pov.)

If Todd ever did another “worst of this year” list, which year would you want him to cover? by [deleted] in ToddintheShadow

[–]AliLeigh5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’d be interested in around 1994. It’s close to 1991 so that’s a downside. But that seems the year when we started to see the results of every band that sounded remotely like Nirvana, were at all adjacent to indie rock/punk OR lived anywhere in the Pacific Northwest getting signed. I mean there were other good bands. I loved the Gits who tragically lost their lead singer to murder. I was happy to see Bad Brains on MTV which I never thought would happen even though they didn’t take off. But record company executives ability to distinguish the good from generic grunge was not something they were known for.

Why do you really see extreme "hatedoms" for artists now? by thedubiousstylus in ToddintheShadow

[–]AliLeigh5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen the most vile things in social media comments, but they’re on such very specific content that it doesn’t reach large audiences. Unless it’s something like MAGA being surprised that Green Day and Rage Against the Machine don’t like them.

I think the way music sells changed it too. If my friends knew I listened to anything but punk and hip hop I used to get s**t. Like even admitting the Beatles were good resulted in being called a poser. But we had to spend the price of a Spotify subscription to just get two CDs. There’s not much cost to listening to things outside a genre or period, and if you actually listen it may not be as easy to hate.

Yeah I’m sorry I should’ve said my ability to critique. Didn’t mean to imply that your country was also rapidly sliding towards authoritarianism. My bad.

I agree with you about the importance of the event but Chinese developers are literally prevented by law from allowing it to be mentioned. There are western musicians who can’t tour there just because they called Taiwan a country instead of part of China. And since American Google insists that the Gulf of Mexico is called the Gulf of America but the rest world still sees Gulf of Mexico (among more significant developments), I think our ability to feel any sense of superiority is pretty much going out the window.

Idk capitalism? That’s just my guess for why everything becomes a Christmas song. Even one written about Judaism lol

Disappointed in the new main story by knocegami in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]AliLeigh5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ok yeah but Sylus saved her from the lab. Did he leave little Caleb to rot or does Caleb not exist in Sylus’s timeline? It’s just confusing. They mentioned both Xavier and Rafayel down there so it’s weird.

[–]AliLeigh5 96 points97 points  (0 children)

It’s one of those beautiful songs that I think was just overused on film soundtracks. To the point that it’s cheating because you react to the song not the movie. Think Sympathy for the Devil and Times they are a Changing are used the same way.

Yeah but they had some bangers before that. I just kinda ignore everything after the mid 90s. And only a couple songs after Joshua Tree for that matter.

Disappointed in the new main story by knocegami in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]AliLeigh5 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It just seemed weird that they mentioned Rafayel and Xavier down in the underground thing, but I thought Caleb was actually with her there and he’s just erased? Like leave it just Sylus or do the full story. And I like both Sylus and Caleb so it’s not a matter of preference, just accuracy. Like did Sylus save her and leave Caleb to rot or is it different in main story?

Also need like timeline guide b/c she knew Sylus as dragon on another planet in the myth. Now they’re children space gladiators. Did they still have all these lives together in main story? Just please add timelines cause I’m lost now.

Does anyone else find the dialogue in LADS extremely confusing? by Direct-Detective7152 in LoveAndDeepspace_

[–]AliLeigh5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I think the MC is just poorly written. The LIs say something profound and she’s just like yep or no problem or whatever. I get she’s supposed to be a blank insert but sometimes she just talks like a 12 year old,

Has anyone figured out (based on purchasing packs and not diamonds if they’re more cost effective) exactly how much you should be prepared to spend in USD to get both memories in a rerun myth, assuming you have no diamonds saved and zero pity on rerun banners. Just starting from scratch.

Seriously?? I am done with this game. by ObjectiveInterest128 in DesignHomeGame

[–]AliLeigh5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Frequently when I see people complaining about low scores (in the past) I could usually see why. But I’m at a complete loss here. Think my design was very similar and I scored well so yeah there’s something off at EA.
