I think there are a lot of manipulator accounts in Lemmy. As with any social media platform, be wary of misinformation. Sometimes it's blatant misinformation, sometimes it's more subtle with small nudges.
Conservatives have realized they're losing on the single issue gimmick of right to choose. They are trying very hard to make the Israeli Genocide the new single issue to vote over.
So electing Trump will essentially stop the genocide! Thanks!
Waiting for them to do the Republican Party next. Also the Green Party and whatever shit party RFK is running on.
American Chinese here - yes I watched a lot of Wu Kong / A Journey to the West adaptations as a kid. Both animated and live action.
He's known as a trickster in the source material even though the style in which he's presented in this new game portrays him edgier and more serious. Usually he's more akin to Hermes or Loki.
I haven't watched any trailers so don't know much about the game, but in A Journey to the West, he's tasked with protecting and escorting a Buddhist Monk on an adventure along with other ensemble characters (like a pig for instance).
On their adventures, the monk guides and teaches him about Buddhist principles like Nirvana and enlightenment and he works on becoming less monkey-like (not giving into his impulses, anger management, etc.) Much of the humor of the series stems from their contrasting personalities.
He's also known as the Monkey King. But since I'm not fluent in Chinese it was hard to grasp some of these details and what they mean to the story. They encounter many deities, demons, spirits and other such mythological beings along the way.
His main weapon is a magical staff. From what I remember, it can grow and shrink and transform. His fur is also magical as he can pluck it and perform some magic tricks with it.
America's greatest export - toxic capitalism
At&t is migrating (tech and other white collar jobs) from California (a blue state) to Texas (a red state). Could Democrats do more? Of course! But let's not put out the image that it's the Democrats that are solely benefiting them or protecting them.
If anything it's been Republicans that have been giving them tax breaks for decades. After all they do get the bulk political contributions from these monopolistic ISP scum.
I just finished The Push by Ashley Audrain. It has me torn so I'm not sure what to make of it. I find myself repulsed but I also can't stop thinking about it. It's about motherhood but with a twisted, psychotic twist.
I just started In the Lives of Puppets by TJ Klune. I enjoyed their first book, but since then I've found their work a little formulaic. Hopefully this one is refreshing. The title and subject make it seem like YA but I find the jokes lewd enough for grown-ups so I guess I am enjoying it so far.
Thanks for all your posts. You will be missed.
Good for him, well deserved - he was amazing for them in the playoffs!
