Not Dora!
  • Upvote since this is my kids favorite show right now and therefore this is my favorite meme right now.

    Edit as someone who watches enough:

    Come'n vamonos, everybody lets go!
    Come on let's get to it, I know that we can do it!

    Where we going?
    👏👏👏
    Detention center!

    Oh no, actually this got too dark.

  • Trump sues for billions from media he says is biased against him
  • We'll see. The guy practically steals political capital so it is unpredictable; traditional candidates usually have to cut deals with folks in house and Senate when a policy would cost that person votes, but he doesn't play by that because he can just make shit up. Gaetz will be a good test to see if he's still able to force bad choices on people.

    The only upside is he's also an idiot who doesn't trust people around him. 2016-2020 was bad, but man it could have been a lot worse if he wasn't inept.

  • Trump sues for billions from media he says is biased against him
  • Yes, I know. Well actually, technically No Child Left Behind was a bipartisan attempt to improve education under Bush but was designed by people with conservative values (hence being a shit show designed to improve public education by punishing it).

    But yes, on average, they've mostly pushed privatization of education and in more recent years, homeschooling for religious values. Dumbing down of society is probably a welcome side effect of stealing money from kids to fund tax breaks for the rich, though.

  • Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D is out and it is beautiful
  • I adore the first trilogy of DQ games but I'm holding off cause I don't like or trust SE anymore (plus, denuvo, ugh).

    I will say, it's a better experience to play 1 thru 3 in order with no prior knowledge of what makes them a trilogy. Having 3 stand alone kind of misses that "oh fuuuuuuuck" realization I got to experience (and subjected a friend to, who has yet to forgive me lol). It's what made 3 one of my favorites next to 5 and 11.

  • I've been really enjoying playing minecraft on the steamdeck and I just realised you can record game play also so here is what I've been working on
  • Looks lovely! Didn't think the deck could handle mods but looking at the specs, makes sense.

    I wonder if my modpack I've been playing works on deck so I could at least get a few more things done while watching kids (the pack being Enigmatica 6 Expert, works on 1.16). It's a chunky pack though, so I'm doubtful.

    Quick edit: was reminded of my pack because of the big tree. E6E ends with a giant tree growing in your base you have to nurture with obscene amounts of stuff you automate.

  • Half of voters, and still 47% voted Harris last I checked. And turnout was especially bad, too, hence it technically only being a fraction of Americans. That's not to say it's not terrible, but even when Trump didn't get a majority last two times it was alarmingly high.

    But my expertise is in education, I can say definitively that Americans fail at civics and we haven't done much to fix that in close to half a century. But failing civics doesn't mean you deserve persecution or deportation or skyrocketing costs or nuclear death-- especially when people can legally lie to you to sway your vote. Systems fucked, but I wouldn't place the blame on that slight majority of subset of the population.

  • Trump sues for billions from media he says is biased against him
  • Well, twenty something percent of citizens voted for him but yes. I don't think it'll be quite as bad as he said since there guard rails, but we apparent voted for a full Congress for him too and hoping "sane" Republicans will save us is a fools errend.

    But if 2016 is any indication, it's probably not as bad as brexit, lol. I think we need to leave NATO or something to be that bad. (But, Brits didn't deserve that, either, nor their crappy Tory leadership. They have my sympathy, as anyone conned by evil people should).

  • Would you go on a trip with your ex-partner and their former affair partner for your kid's sake?
  • If it was me, I'd milk that rich fuck as much as I could. I've no dignity, and I like trips.

    Seriously though, you're not me and if it makes you uncomfortable, you'll have to decide if it's worth it. The kid will get over it, though. Just hope that they don't resent the weeks they have with you-- I got that way with my parents and petty kid I was, it was just a matter of my dad having a computer w/ Internet and my mom not. For that reason, it might be important to listen to your kid and their values.

  • How the hell did they shoot Austin Powers?
  • Wow, dumbass kid I was I never realized he played both roles. I guess he did a great job acting.

    Edit: also still trying to figure out who the third character the was, lol

    Edit 2: oh, it's Fat Bastard isn't it.

    Shitposter while I tend to two babies. Maybe when I have my life back, I'll help us get a few more niche communities back?
