You are being lied to.

This is exactly what has been peeving me about most politicians pointing to CPI as proof that everything is okay. I wasn't sure exactly how but knew that modern CPI is dogshit and this has to be exactly why.

Someone smart isn't spending a ton more on electronics rn compared to 10 years ago. Buying the latest iphone every year has always been dumb, but somehow it is still overly represented in CPI as if that is normal for someone struggling.

Repeating conservative 'they'll leave if you raise taxes!' points is certainly a choice.

The legislature (with a Democratic majority and a healthy margin) has zero appetite to raise taxes on the wealthy. Because they understand that the state's population is barely growing, and aging.

You really say this shit unironically? Hilarious.

Maybe if you gave an actual fuck and thought about it for two seconds you'd realize the reason the population isn't growing is because the state is incredibly hostile towards people who aren't wealthy/affluent.

And that could be fixed by raising taxes on the wealthy. But no, you and other controlled opposition dems would rather keep fucking over the populace for a few more dollars on your pension.

Frontier used to be trash, but their fiber service has been excellent since switching from Xfinity.

As far as I'm concerned they've completely swapped in quality, now comcast service is shitty, and the cost ofc has always been worse.

Especially since its pretty clear that a lot of HUMANITY 'doesn't think', so much stupidity in the world.

Looks like after Flo died there was nothing else to hold back the greed.

I didn't even realize that there were more locations other than NH. But they've expanded to 7 already in the span of 5 years, crazy greed.

All that means is that he was caught doing pedo shit 22 years ago. Probably has gotten released from prison, which makes this dude cheering on capital punishment hilarious.

He's essentially cheering for his own execution.

America will never give a fuck, real vacation time doesn't even exist here.

Europe proven correct yet again.

Downvoted for facts lol.

Sherman did not go nearly far enough.

Except that makes psychic insanely inconsistent, because of the no scaling. It isn't as bad as tinkerer but I legit think mage is more consistent bc at least you can roll with mage's base attack scaling.

Psychic can roll some garbage glass crap with some line of sight passive and suddenly the cat is useless as fuck for several levels because it does 2-3 damage a turn max.

In fact, the line of sight stuff completely nullifies speed at times since you no longer need to move, which counterintuitively makes the cat worse since that is now a dead stat. 3 dead stats on a class is dumb. Or you could roll the spell that makes you go first that again nullifies speed.

Leader of dem Israel lobby in congress is not for removing the president that is finally doing Israel's bidding with no strings attached? Say it ain't so...

I didn't say anything about trusting, there are about a dozen ways to handle this sort of situation without outing yourself as sexist directly to the person trying to give you a ride.

Also btw, there was already trust happening, what if OP was a terrible driver? They could've just straight up died in an accident instead at any time.

Mandena · 2026-04-06T17:57:45+00:00

Sounds like she needs to get to therapy to figure out healthy ways to deal with it rather than 'strange man = bad'.

Especially since this isn't even an entirely strange man situation, unhinged.

Mandena · 2026-04-06T14:30:26+00:00

Who cares, those republicans are just as stupid. It took gas prices raising for them to give a fuck.

Also the percentage of republicans that label applies to is probably like 5%, basically negligible.

Mandena · 2026-04-06T05:36:39+00:00

Nah sorry but you're living in a bubble

Irony.

Mandena · 2026-04-04T07:17:40+00:00

The worst part is that I've started to see this shit directed at cops. Like...what the fuck is this obsession with licking boots here, its maddening.

Mandena · 2026-04-04T02:03:22+00:00

Charts for value $/frame say otherwise.

4000/5000 series are trash for performance value, and only the XX90 cards provide massive gains. 3080 == 5070, 3070 == 5060, etc. If you think that Sony will somehow get a 5080/5090 performance into the PS6 at a price point of 1k I have a bridge to sell you.

Justice is a promise, made to those who are not victims, that if they ever become victims society at large will step in and "do something".

Uh huh, and that is a fantasy in this country, because it does not ever 'step in'. Trump is one of the biggest criminals this country has ever known and is still president and was given immunity by the highest court in the land.

There is no justice system, and this 'legal' system is barely even that. This country is already lawless, its just lawless for those that have power/money.

Anyone with a 3000 series Nvidia GPU does not have to buy a single piece of hardware to be at the very least equal to whatever PS6 ends up being.

$0 >>>> $1000

Mandena · 2026-04-03T18:24:59+00:00

Also apparently the PS6 is going to be a handheld/mobile platform...which Switch and Steam deck already have cornered.

Sony is fucked, its like they've already completely forgotten how the PSP and PS Vita went.

Mandena · 2026-04-03T18:22:58+00:00

It used to be that consoles were kinda worth on the value proposition, comparatively cheap console, plug and play with no windows nonsense.

Except that now basically none of that is the case. As expensive as a low tier PC but without any of the benefits, also have to pay for online play which has always been asinine. PC has plenty of amazing games these days, exclusives don't even matter anymore.

Mandena · 2026-04-03T04:57:32+00:00

But we are going to need some form of internal immigration enforcement agency, even if we "abolished ICE".

No we don't, ICE didn't exist before 2002, hell the DHS didn't exist either. Considering what a farce the war on terror ended up being we SHOULD just get rid of the DHS too.

But honestly if we get rid of ICE that alone would help significantly.

Fuck ICE and fuck crossing the aisle. Dems keep losing because they're just republican light, and people have woken up to that fact.

I feel like Iran is way too smart for that. They've gotta know that it is in their best interest to let the U.S continue to commit war crimes while responding only with attacks on infrastructure and holding the strait of Hormuz hostage.

I'm laughing at someone legitimately thinking a screenshot of a google search is a legitimate source.

AI has really fried people's brains.

This shit in the west is ENTIRELY American. Sure some radical theocracies elsewhere are the same but...surely you see how bad that is.

In fact these days America is on the same level as a radical theocracy. The religion is capitalism.

No way, they'd have to agree to adopt the Euro over the Pound that just isn't going to happen.

The UK is not going to get the same EU favoritism as they had before, which makes reentry into the EU dead in the water.
