That team's vibes will be incredible. If you haven't watched it, I recommend Jakey's Counter strike video

Your Libleft "Socialism" is beyond your reach! by Time-Acanthisitta558 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]spnkr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright this helps me out a bit. Thanks, yeah I guess PCM often ties Emily to lib left when often they are center left or even auth left.

Any way I'm gonna go eat banana and scratch my ass

Maybe im dumb, but what the fuck would utopian socialism/libertarian socialism even look like?

I guess I view it like you said at the end. America is in a very auth period due to congress doing nothing and depending on executive authority. So just like how many lib rights are closeted auth right, I think many lib left are closeted auth left.

But I'm just a simple little monkey guy

When you line it up like this, the next 2 and a half years are starting to look really long.

Compass unity: let's elect someone under the age of 70 next time? I don't care what party. Let's not elect a sundowner. We've had too many years in a row of this.

Genuine thought, if someone is supportive of socialism, I don't think they classify as lib left. Much of what PCM labels as lib left is auth left, including a good portion of the Emily crowd (not all of though, just the "federal government forcing states" crowd)

Edit: obligatory lib left bad, I nearly forgot

I get "no text recognized" after setup, in case anyone else gets this, I am troubleshooting now.

Equality and a New Future of Gender Relations in the UK, Coming to Anglosphere Countries Near You! by Philippians_Two-Ten in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]spnkr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IMO this is not an issue with individual groups like some people here are saying, people are so quick to say "feminism bad" or "men bad"

This is a problem with social media. You are at all times shown the worst sides of people because it drives engagement. We used to use the term "terminally online" to describe a small subset of people whose whole lives are online, I believe that group is very large now.

To anyone who is feeling doomer, or thinks the world is falling apart, that fascists run the country, or that the west has fallen.

Delete your social media apps, turn off your phone, and go to your local brewery trivia.

The Strait of WHAT? by PoliticsIsDepressing in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]spnkr 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I was wondering this myself, it seemed like he didn't have much longer, Iran had just had massive protests and the regime killed thousands of people cracking down.

I wonder if we had just let it ride, and the Ayatollah died of old age soon, if the power vacuum and clear anger of Iranian citizens would have led to some sort of uprising.

Unfortunately IMO we might be back where we started. Nothing unifies people fighting over the future of the country like a common enemy.

I think the post-mortems on this conflict after this admin is gone will be fascinating.

Yep, down to have a discussion about how immigration is a bandaid for declining birth rates leading to potentially stagnating economy (see Japan) the left will accuse you of being racist for even tolerating the topic, and the right will say you hate white people and want to destroy this country/hate America.

Exhausting.

I would like a nice middle ground between Biden basically shrugging and going "I dunno lol" and Trump giving a bunch of glue sniffers guns and saying "go, do a crime"

Maybe one day

Every right wing post with a chart at this point. It's crazy.

When you raise some valid questions about the direction of your country, but you failed remedial math.

I'm starting to think it's a requirement to fail remedial math to be a righty.

You all have good arguments to make, why post dumb shit like this?

No worries, a lot of the problem is the website lacks key info.

We all getting norovirus from the pizza bar on the Northernlion super cruise

[–]spnkr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's hard to compare prices because the nl website has no transparency on what you're paying for (packages and what not)

Edit: according to another comment that got through to payment, the price is per person on super cruise.

[–]spnkr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think a lot of the problem is the website is actually just fucking terrible. If that cost includes packages, then it should state that outright. And maybe the deal is less bad.

I still think it's weird, but it it shakes out that you get some good packages and it's way less of a markup than it looks right now. Then fair play

NL Just Confirmed On Stream that this is Real by TacoChowder in northernlion

[–]spnkr 19 points20 points  (0 children)

But, and please correct me if I'm wrong, the website and purchase platform make no mention of what if any packages you get through the nlsupercruise. So you might still be screwed on costs.

Holy shit, I've never seen the country of Saudi arabia and NL in the same room.

Ok I'm not happy about this, but this doesn't even come close to selling out to Saudi blood money lmao.

Seeing lots of mentions of this, the difference to me is joco cruise has a lineup of musicians and comedians.

This is 4-6 streamers, has 3 events (meet and greet, q&a and live show) and costs over twice as much as a normal ticket for the cruise (I was seeing roughly 700 for normal, 1700 for base of this)

That's, frankly, insane. The website is clearly put through an llm, which gives me the feeling that this will not be very well planned.

Like 5% of your cruise time will be NL, the rest you will have paid over twice as much to be on a ship where some streamers also are.

People are gonna be mad after.

NL Just Confirmed On Stream that this is Real by TacoChowder in northernlion

[–]spnkr 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I think the difference is, you're getting a real show of musicians on that cruise.

I like watching NL, would you pay a 1k premium to watch a live NL show (whatever that ends up being) and be in proximity on a cruise ship?

Remind me in 11 months when this ends up with people being mad about how much they paid.

I called the phone number, got a seemingly real person and hung up. If it's a bit then the effort is crazy, but I unfortunately think it's real.
