Not one person who voted for Trump in 2024 ever deserves forgiveness for choosing to willingly turn our country into this. They should not be allowed to forget and move on, the stain of this needs to follow them for the rest of their lives. Even if they regret it now, or later, they do not deserve forgiveness. In an ideal world, they would be banned from ever voting again, as all have proven themselves to be threats to democracy. Those willing to vote away democracy should be denied participation in it.

You don't play the games past KH1 for the story anyway, you just play for the gameplay.

In CoM and Days, I would argue the story is more appealing than the gameplay of those games.

The plot reminded me a lot of Life is Strange, and no one thinks liking that game makes you automatically smart or deep.

My all time favorite movie is The Butterfly Effect which also had similar themes

It's awful, but if you're trans, I think you need an escape plan to get out of this hellhole.

My only real options are the UK, which has just had its own anti-trans bullshit rammed through (full ban on trans women from any women's spaces and more) and Mexico, which is a dangerous country to live in but at least isn't shoving through constant attacks. Sadly it's the best choice, because the supposed first world countries I can go to are regressing so heavily.

My life is basically over if it actually does get banned, at least my life in this country.

I lived in the UK back then and modded my own PS2 because I wanted to play KH2FM (this was before the remastered collections existed)

Everyone who voted for Trump has this on their conscious.

Seeing this topic reminded me that my username on here is still named after Homestuck. If you want to read it today, youll need to use the Unofficial Collection since the official website is broken.

It is an incredibly concerning sign for society that the majority of Americans support this fucking evil party.

I think it's less they lean republican and more they believe the lies that Republicans will actually change things for the better.

Which means the youth have a huge critical thinking problem, and will be unable to understand that things are worse under the GOP

At this point I honestly think the only way to get people off of fascism is for them to experience a period of fascism. Support for it wont stop rising until people find themselves actually living under it, and all Trump voters will deserve exactly what fascism grants them

We are going to see a lot more of this, and every Trump voter is to blame, along with everyone who didnt vote

I watched SLC Punk the other day after over 20 years. I bring that movie up because I get why young people want to see chaos, but damn who are they going to look up to?

Donald Trump. Based on stats, the youth love him. They have been fully taken in by the grift

https://www.newsweek.com/republican-support-poll-young-gen-z-2060258

If these stats are accurate, America is pretty much doomed. I think this is after the El Salvador concentration camps became well known, meaning most young voters support concentration camps

My in laws are visiting from abroad, and are supposed to fly back to their country on April 21st. If Trump does this, would they get stuck here, or would flights in and out of the country still operate normally?

Steal the money, adopt some orphans and give them a better life yourself

This is what they do. Obama was blamed for the 2008 financial crash too.

And we did it to ourselves, committing collective suicide as a nation. What do you guys think the Chinese era will be like?

I believe they will, and I hope they will. I would rather that than see my own country gain any victory under a man like Trump.

My local grocery store just raised all their prices within the last week, and I live in a red state

It was an alt history where the Axis won WW2. So probably not, no.

I'm the only full time night staff member in a busy hotel, so unless the hotel itself closes, they aren't getting rid of me

I have seen it said before that North and South Korea showcase the worst outcomes of both communism and capitalism respectively.

Not a fan of Mitchell, but wasn't Jobst a fascist, or at least in fascist circles? So hard to feel bad for him

Blue city in a red state. The people I see and interact with in my daily life are fine. The laws I have to deal with are not.

Fuck this government

If we do this, hopefully it triggers Article 5

My wifes family are coming in to visit from Mexico next month and Im terrified something is going to happen under this dogshit administration

A few times due to lack of sleep.

They do not intend on there being another fair election in America. They made this obvious, and the majority still voted them in. Humanity doesn't deserve democracy.

I'd do it, but given I'm ugly and a poor actor, it would likely be an unwatchable movie. I have also never played a Metal Gear game

A few years back, a fake news article about North Korea only having certain state approved haircuts was published, and used in the US as an example of North Korea's authoritarianism. Look at where we are now.

I am white, but have dark hair and eyes, and have a Hispanic surname because of my marriage. I legitimately wonder sometimes if I could be targeted under this insane adminstration despite not even being Hispanic.

Lets say you get a half million per 1,000 episodes. The rest paid out when youre done.

What happens if I stop after a few thousand?

Israel is a rogue genocidal state, and the entire Western world is enabling said genocide.

My father relies on social security and keeps insisting when I try to warn him that Trump would never risk doing something as unpopular as this. He doesnt seem to understand that popularity doesnt matter if there are no plans for future elections

Mexico is currently more progressive than the U.S.

When it comes to some things like trans rights, Iran is currently more progressive than the US

Why are do many American politicans have Israel worship as their number one priority? It's one of the few genuinely bipartisan stances in the US. Israel can never be questioned.

I finished watching Serial Experiments Lain recently, and it hit pretty hard, since I related to the title character a fair bit, and my wife is even called Alice.

GTA V is another example I thought of. I guess GTA V was also better paced, but GTA IV has the best story and atmosphere in the entire GTA series to me, despite V having much more fun gameplay.

I imagine DKC2 is probably the most famous example.

DKC was considered as simply a fun game with really cool looking art.
DKC2 is widely considered the best 2D platformer, both of it's era and in general.

But DKC2 is designed better than 1 as well as being more fun

Mario Galaxy 2. Raw gameplay is more fun, but 1 has a far better story, atmosphere, and general design.

What?

Being in the Commonwealth doesnt really mean much. It doesnt mean we take back the monarchy. It doesnt mean were putting Charles on currency. It doesnt mean Charles can dismiss the US government. It doesnt even involve any legal obligations to other member states.

A lot of people in this thread are misunderstanding what the Commonwealth actually is

ScazarMeltex posted...

Ummmm....is he aware that the Monarch has the authority, though I don't think it's ever been used, to dismiss the Head of the Government (Monarch is technically head of the state) in any Commonwealth Country?

This isn't true. You can be in the Commonwealth without having the British monarchy. India is a Commonwealth member, for example.
