Finally an accurate Kronii fanart

I don’t know if there’s any other freak sorting their Lemmy homepage to Top Monthly who just found this post, but I’d advise to edit it to let people know that even if the site lists more than 1M signatures the actually valid ones might be less, so signing even now is still a good idea, as the creator said.

purchasers have legitimate moral and legal grounds to demand that they be informed that they are buying a license, or renting, the game; they are not owning a functional copy of the game outright.

I’m pretty sure that’s already the case, if you read the ToS of most games.

Not that it makes this any better.

Even assuming Biden actually deported legal immigrants like Trump is doing (which I haven’t found any proof of anywhere), just the simple fact that they were identifiable meant that we wouldn’t have the copycat phenomenon of people pretending to be ICE doing robberies and kidnappings in broad daylight. That’s already harm reduction.

And anyways no, I still don’t believe that documented and legal immigrants without a criminal record were being deported under Biden and the “clarity” was the only difference. That’s a big claim to make without a source.

Are you really trying to argue that what’s happening now was already happening under Biden? That ICE was already pulling up in unmarked vans and disappearing people with no criminal records, but people were fine with it “because blue team”?

Come on.

So how is “defense of the status quo instead of mass deporting” not “harm reduction”?

So if Harris won she would’ve deported all those people to El Salvador without due process?

What’s bizarre to me is that her Debut stream already has 2,8 Million views, which is almost half a million more than her graduation stream. And I mean, of course her debut was highly anticipated, but I expected her last stream to have WAY more.

I think she’s the only one where it’s not the opposite, and although hers was much shorter, it’s wasn’t “bad” by any means.

Eh, that’s a different matter, one is a collaboration in one (now two) days, in the break before/between/after the games, doing stuff to entertain that apparently gets pretty weird even without VTubers involved (I think one time a team had Spongebob sing or something?).

An anime girl being an official contestant in such a big event might be a bit too much for a lot of people. Still, again, I’d be curious to see what would happen. Hopefully the naysayers are in the minority and most people can keep an open mind about it.

No no, #MythForEurope (though if Liz gets to Eurovision I definitely wouldn’t complain either)

Listened to it after the Holotalk, didn’t love it initially but it definitely grew on me.

Shameless plug for Under the Stars, of which The World Outside is a sort of “sequel”, and which deserves WAY more views (I’m still sad Gura never sang it in a karaoke or something ;_;).

She cannot be contained.

I’m looking forward to the 3D Debut, but I’m even more looking forward to (and mildly afraid of) what she might cook with unbridled home 3D streams.

“ProMyth” fits so much, I know Kiara said she wouldn’t approve of “merging gens” or things like that, but I’d love if it was the official name for cross-gen collabs lol

Consistently electing Democrats will force Republicans to become “less of a threat”, which will force Democrats to have an actual platform since “the other guy” getting elected isn’t as scary anymore. It’s all about shifting the window.

The path to fixing the system through voting exists, it’s just not viable as long as people keep staying home because “they don’t like either candidate”.

And if people can’t move their asses to do something as simple as voting, I really doubt they have what it takes to actually do “something else” resulting in concrete changes.

Advent 3D was announced in mid-July so yes, this is pretty early. Although Breaking Dimensions was announced around this time last year, and it was pretty obvious that Advent would get a 3D before that.

Also yes, Autofister in 3D is going to be glorious. I’m also looking forward to ERB in concerts, and as an Italian, I hope Raora’s hand tracking will do us justice lol

Eh, 9 AM on a weekend isn’t that bad for JP viewers. I’m guessing, as usual, they put it at the best possible hour for those two audiences and us EU bros have to suck it up. At least most people don’t work the following days, I guess.

They’re not aiming for “moderates” at this point, they’re straight-up aiming for right-wingers. Right-wingers who have a working brain, and when given the choice between a right-wing party and literal fascism, they’ll vote the former. People who like Liz Cheney, basically.

Oh no, FPTP works very well, for the two main parties. That’s why neither ever bothered to change it. You’re strong-armed into voting for the lesser evil because if you don’t, everything just keeps getting worse.

This way you can build a party on a cult of personality revolving on a cartoon villain and get votes, because cults strengthen participation, and another party that is allowed to do literally anything as long as they’re “not as bad as” the other. It’s absolutely perfect for rich people in power who only care about their own benefits.

And the worst thing is, people keep falling for it. They think they’re giving some sort of comeuppance to the Dems by not voting, but the reality is they don’t care that much if they win or not. They’re rich, they can survive four more years of Trump as long as they don’t oppose him too much.

Hell, at this point the worst thing you can do to the DNC (besides actually voting for progressives in primaries) is getting them elected, multiple times in a row, so many that the Overton Window shifts and they’ll be forced to actually act as a leftist party because Republicans won’t be able to fash their way into power if they want to get elected.

This is unironically how FPTP systems work. You ALWAYS have to vote for the lesser evil, because if you don’t and the bigger one wins, the other one will shift even more to the right since they know actual voters lean more towards them.

I’ll admit I’m not sure if I would be more excited or scared for a Vtuber at Eurovision… but honestly, with people like Tommy Cash and Little Big, there’s a chance she wouldn’t even be the “weirdest” contestant lol (plus, of course, she’s great at singing and her songs are really catchy, if people can go beyond the “novelty” I’m sure she could gain quite a good number of new fans)
