I’m sure like many, my ‘X’ feed has felt injected with right wing posts since Elon took over. Just maybe two or three days ago, I noticed a new trend of posts it was serving to me. This whole weird new trough of posts has been super alpha male vibes and ‘hot’ women shaming men for playing video games. I legit wonder if this story has anything to do with why that’s being targeted at me, a very casual gamer, now.
Just want to remind everyone, deleting your account and leaving the platform is a way to harm the platform that has turned into an enabler of bigoted hatred. And in doing so, stop being an enabler of the known enabler.
You’re 100% right.
Hot and fresh memes for breakfast
I am once again asking that you delete your Twitter Account
I know it’s a meme, but it feels very plausible for Bernie to actually say that.
I hope you didn’t feel attacked or criticized. Sometimes people just need to hear that they CAN leave. Regardless of what we are talking about.
Nothing but love to you.
Not at all, I’ve been feeling that it’s time to move on for a while now. It’s hard to leave because I do care about staying active and up-to-date on political discourse, but this truly doesn’t feel like that’s what it is any more. It’s yelling into a void. I fear for the sake of many less in tune with what political discourse should be that this is the only diet they’re being fed anymore. It’s a scary path we’re headed down. All the love to you as well, stay groovy 🤙
Just fucking delete it. You’re not that important and anything you do on there supports Musk. Delete it and walk away.
Lol, never said I was important. It can be a great source of information and news and I enjoy staying up-to-date on stories big and small. That’s the hard part to walk away from. Take 'er down a notch.
I fail to see that as both true nor necessary. Take it up a notch and stop being a bitch.
The republicans really, really do hate being called weird, don’t they.
they’re trying so hard to turn it around. just listen to anything they say nowadays; it either involves calling democrats or leftists weird, or calling what they do normal.
this is why this word is more potent than anything you could say about them. say they’re fascists and draconian, they wear that as a badge of honor. fascists love being feared, fearsomeness is the refuge of the pathetic.
but they can’t handle being called weird. the entire conservative mindset is about how a set of nonsense beliefs and traditions are “normal” and everyone who doesn’t align with that is degenerate. that’s what they’re conserving after all, the “normal”. once that’s turned around and everybody agrees that they’re the weird ones they lose their fucking minds.
so now they’re trying to call everything the democrats do weird. they’re so desperate.
Problem is most leftists embrace the weirdness because we’re proud of being unique. Right wingers are the ones who want to be clones.
This guy gets it.
They took “deplorable” as a badge of honor because “deplorable” is a term a high school teacher would use to describe the cool kids who smoke and hang out.
“Weird” is a term the cool kids would use to describe Barbie Bible and her farm boy buddies.
The beauty of this is that we don’t actually have to attack weirdness by calling Republicans weird.
The left can be as weird as it wants, and Republicans can call us weird, we never built our platform on being “normal”.
The only reason we call Republicans “weird” is because their political and social beliefs are fringe nonsense. We’re basically calling them stupid.
They can use the same word against us, but it will never mean “stupid”, it’ll only mean “unique”, and we can embrace that without looking like weirdos.
while i generally agree, I’d argue that calling conservatives weird means less “stupid” and more “creepy”.
it’s not that they’re stupid, though they have a tenuous relationship with reality either due to ignorance or deception…
but they’re fucking creepy sex obsessed weirdos. that’s what weird is about. they’re always thinking about people’s genitals and who’s fucking who, who uses what contraception and what they do with their body. they think about trans people more than trans people think about trans people. they’re fucking creeps.
Yeah it’s one of the elements of the authoritarian personality, and it’s fucking weird. It’s weird like someone in the bushes outside your bedroom.
Conservatives value conformity; they think they are ‘normal’, and that being ‘normal’ is by definition good. Pointing out how fucking weird they are hits them where it hurts
this is much more concise than my comment. and i edited out a couple paragraphs.
Real men get addicted to booze, pain pills and fox
Apperently Walz did get caught drunk driving once, but then stopped drinking entirely. Which reading between the lines sounds like he had a drinking problem and used that ticket as a catalyst to kick the habit entirely, which if that is the case, I have mad respect for him breaking that addiction. Addictions are hard to break

That’s not just weird, it’s borderline grooming.
Wonder how Kirk and weirdo conservatives feel about women who play video games a lot?
Do you think their heads would explode? What if they’re voluntarily childless, have a cat, and play video games?
Women don’t have rights in their America so I guess they would make them turn if off or send them to the camps.
“Angry bitter pathetic woke feminist betraying the white race by refusing to grow up, who actually wants to have kids but is too ugly to attract even a beta cuck”
God I feel filthy just writing that, I can’t imagine how people are okay thinking things even a quarter as nasty as that.
It’s a slow slide into that nastiness for them. And the entire time the only thing they’re really concerned about is themselves. They’re pathetic losers
What if they…have a cat
If they have a cat, they must pay the cat tax. That is the law of the Internet. This is why we all need to protest Kamala and get her to pay the cat tax as she is breaking the Cat Tax law.
How is that a meme?
I’d rather a politician be addicted to Dreamcast than cocaine.
…said the normal man who’s been a Koch Brothers funded propagandist since he was 18, normally.
Genius. Gamers are such calm and quiet people and definitely not prone to loud retribution against people they hate. Legally, of course. No gamer has ever perpetuated violence against someone.
They let the SWAT teams do it for them.
And if you vote for Democrats you’re all gonna get free healthcare too! The horror!

Exactly, we all get a little too into something from time to time. The fact that his was video games from the 90s is both charming and a reminder that he’s not 80. Also it’s the sort of marital conflict that you see in healthy and happy marriages as opposed to the kind you expect to see in politicians’ marriages
Dang, I wonder if Coach was really into Crazy Taxi. Or maybe Space Channel 5? 🛸
Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2
Nah 100% PSO, staying up stupid late with the guys to do one more run for that bazooka with a 0.001% drop rate
Jet Grind Radio (Jet Set Radio for international players).
Gotta be Powerstone
Hell yes! Loved Powerstone 1 and 2!
Soul Calibur
Shenmue
Hey, uh, I’m looking for some sailors. Do you know where I can find them?
Hey hey, come on over, have some fun with Crrrrazy Taxi!
🎵Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!
Easily one of the best Dreamcast games imo 🙌 i loved the bowling stage where you try to drift into the pins for a strike… I don’t remember how you got there but it was so much fun. That game was also a blast in the arcade in the sit-down style cabinet.
nba 2k. when it was good.
Skies of Arcadia
And now all I can think of is Jello apocalypse bits.
Rain of swords!
I still have my dreamy in the office.
All it’s ever used for is the odd Quake 3 game; for people to play Metropolis Street Racer on it when they ask what console it is; and serving as a reminder that I really need to set a week aside for playing Shenmue III.
I’ve been running the emulator on my Steam Deck this week.
Shenmue 4 lyf
Bro, if the Dreamcast taught me anything it’s that the world would be threatened by giant lizards anally pleasuring themselves via death-laser equipped space colonies far less often if we could get political figures capable of telling Sonic from Shadow.
Tim Walz has my support. Prevent Biolizards from threatening the planet!
i wonder if he plays any online games, and if so, i wonder what his handle is
