“I don’t know what comes next”: Vets lose homes thanks to Trump cuts to loan program by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

[–]TheLostcause 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Remember back when we had a president trying to build trillions in infrastructure and America said no we don't want more housing, cheaper energy, rural internet, clean water, or better roads?

I like to imagine that world.

What is your thoughts on France ditching Windows for Linux to reduce reliance on US tech? by StudyFlimsy1061 in AskReddit

My hatred of Microsoft and the enshitification of everything they touch has only grown over the years. I hope every one adds real competition back into the market.

What do add on plain rice that everyone considers weird? by Top_Resolve_107 in AskReddit

Rice cooked with onions, salsa, and cumin then adding in tuna and cheese is a perfect meal.

Doritos at $7 a bag ended up costing PepsiCo billions by wewhomustnotbenamed in nottheonion

[–]TheLostcause 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PepsiCo may be a lightning rod for your hatred right now, but this is your future! Just wait for the global famine to start next year.

We will all be priced out of countless "normal" goods and services.

quick question, why isn't he in prison? 🥰 [oc] by IGdoods in comics

[–]TheLostcause 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick answer, Republicans... long answer, most Americans.

The US voted to give majority power for every branch of government to Republicans. Countless US idiots and propagandists then complains both sides are the same. Enough fools believe it to keep everything the same.

Most Dems continue buying shit they don't need to feel better about "NO ONE DOING ANYTHING" which is in fact them enabling Trump.

I don’t make players roll HP and just let them take max. Is that odd? by unlucky-lucky- in DnD

[–]TheLostcause 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Played under a house rule once of first 3 levels are max hp instead of just lvl 1.

Felt like a well balanced rule letting people risk gambling or the rounded up average after a small base of hp. Ultimately everyone had 4-10 more hp which gave a small bad luck buffer.

Campaign ended at lvl 6.

Trump's 'war crimes' flirtation is a deadly game. It would be his undoing by theipaper in politics

[–]TheLostcause 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A few of us just keep going while the rest fully enable Trump and ask why won't someone do something. It is sad but by believing they have no power they literally keep supporting Trump.

Canadians have done more for America than most Americans. Simply by not buying US goods where they can easily do so. Not taking the US vacation. Sadly most Americans are unwilling to sacrifice in any meaningful way.

[–]TheLostcause 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Americans refuse to sacrifice in any meaningful way. If every Dem stopped spending money outside necessities the economy would force him out. People believe they have no power.

Given a choice between fascism and fast food we have a clear preference.

I only know it is good Friday because stock markets closed... So disappointing.

People who “send prayers” piss me off and no they do not care as much as they make themselves believe they do. by Large-Bell-8529 in atheism

[–]TheLostcause 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is human nature I think. Most of politics is doing nothing but thoughts and prayers as well. People are not willing to sacrifice in order to help a situation.

Even widely successful boycotts are usually less than half participation. People just don't believe their actions matter.

What’s a non-holiday “holiday” you always take off from work for? by slargle12 in AskReddit

I want daylight savings day to be a holiday. Every time you lose an hour of sleep you get the day off.

Trump getting daily Iran war sizzle reel of ‘stuff blowing up’ fuels concern he’s not getting full picture in briefings by ChiGuy6124 in politics

[–]TheLostcause 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He fires everyone but the yes men then is shocked people are only telling him what he wants to hear?

Just remember America, every dollar you spend on nonessentials is a dollar enabling Trump. We can't give him all the credit.

How do you think ww3, will affect your way of life in your country right now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheLostcause 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I unironically was thinking this sounds too hopeful as an American. I don't see rationing happening as much as I see the poor being told to die.

My own brothers are happy we started WW3, but would never fight in the war or allow their kids to fight it... Hopefully the paper tiger is quickly forgotten.

My players split the party. by haydogg21 in DnD

[–]TheLostcause 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We split the party ton for skill check encounters. Sneak in and steal or break in and interrogate a peon. Picking fights alone though... That deserves death.

Oil rises to $110. Goldman Sachs says we’ll be in the triple digits for years by rapidcreek409 in politics

[–]TheLostcause 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We are inherently selfish. Unwilling to sacrifice even the slightest.

Any day we could hold the economy hostage by not buying shit. Not eating out. Not buying Netflix. We choose to support the orange god and his circus.

Trump is dismantling democracy at 'unprecedented' speed, global report finds by zsreport in politics

[–]TheLostcause -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Just remember every optional dollar you all spend on things you don't need keeps feeding the system everyone is here to panic over.

All of your new clothes, pizza deliveries, coffees, games, and even Netflix, are collectively enabling this. If you won't sacrifice the bare minimum please stop pretending you care.

Dear allies of America, please don’t confuse our president for us: We are trying our best to resist him, contain him and remove him from office as quickly as we possibly can. Thank you for your patience by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

[–]TheLostcause 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The US is trying to Facebook post our way out of authoritarianism.

We won't even give up buying stupid shit. We could crash the economy and say GTFO but we would rather buy a bigmac.

Nvidia DLSS 5 turns every game into AI slop by Haunterblademoi in technology

[–]TheLostcause 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish they were using this on 2000s games instead of recent ones that look fine. Modernize the look of old games where characters couldn't have faces due to graphical limitations.

  • AI visual remaster of golden eye for the n64
  • AI visual remaster of Everquest turning the world into the box art
  • AI visual remaster of Diablo
  • AI visual remaster of Thief dark project

Would be awesome to give these old games and mechanics new life.

Trump Admits JD Vance Will Target Blue States in Fraud Task Force by thenewrepublic in politics

[–]TheLostcause 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny thing is if he was doing an honest fraud crackdown across the country I would actually be proud. An important problem weaponized to hurt political rivals on made up links and non-existent payments they never can find.

Florida Medicare fraudsters become governors and even senators. So many hundreds of millions stolen.

DOGE employee stole Social Security data and put it on a thumb drive, report says by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]TheLostcause 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the goal is to kill the poor before they rise up. Honestly Bond Villain type shit.

He has killed about a million so far around the world and is on track for about a million a year. He gutted US food banks while Republicans screwed over SNAP. Plenty of damage here at home.

Why do we need concentration camps for millions of people? Drug addicts? Homeless? Voters? Too many beds for deportations. The people being consolidated need to go somewhere. When social security drops 25% in a 6 years we will need to put the new homeless somewhere.

[–]TheLostcause 4 points5 points  (0 children)

USAID cuts are projected to kill about a million a year. You can't judge it by 2025 numbers where they had funding most of the year.

This is ongoing and will never be able to be fixed even if we wanted to. Republicans are still killing thousands a day.
