It's incredibly disappointing that any positive legacy Bernie would have is going to be totally destroyed by everyone he chose to elevate and promote.

Bernie about Platner,

“In all due respect, all right, what I'm worried about, 50,000 Americans may die unnecessarily? And you're worried about a tattoo?"

When I asked about his comments about sexual assault, he said "Have you served four tours of duty?" I said "I have not."

Bernie: "Ok"

I don't think it's especially hard to thread the needle to be fine with Jay Jones and to think Planter has crossed a red line. People acting like we are overreacting for whatever reason is just wrong and ridiculous.

I really think people are underestimating the degree to which 21st century politics are going to be apocalyptically bad; we are collectively sliding towards mass ethnic cleansing being the norm in the Western World, out of no reason but pure fucking spite and empty nostalgia.

Tory policy is to revoke permanent residence (ILR) for everybody who does not earn £38k - deporting most nurses who have ILR

This is put in the video as "who is unlikely to contribute more than they cost"

NB: video does not say EU settled status is exempt

No govt since Idi Amin has done this

I refurbished a laptop and installed Linux on it to give to my grandmother and since she's only really using the browser I don't think she'll ever even notice or care. It's kind of amazing how little the OS matters for most people that they should be running the lightest OS they can.

Is kind of sad to see some do with Planter what many did with Trump where because the badness escalated somewhat slowly a lot of people got to defending things through incremental worseness that they never would have defended if it started there.

:(

Casey @berniebro69.bsky.social · 9h

kind of thought the same thing about you but good luck with life and everything buddy

I was mostly responding to the insistence that D&D is about this one thing and nothing else and that Hasbro should only highlight this one thing since that is what the mechanics support. That picture looks more like how D&D is played more than my fav D&D picture (Elmore here) does. And that's OK!

Casey @berniebro69.bsky.social · 10h

what are we even doing here, I feel like I'm losing my mind I've played D&D with dozens of different groups in a bunch of different countries and absolutely zero people I've played with in over 30 years have approached the game the way you're insisting it be played lol

There's board games for that.

Casey @berniebro69.bsky.social · 10h

sure

Casey @berniebro69.bsky.social · 10h

Yes, I am confident that D&D is mostly about laughing with your friends and only 10% about any rules or going through the mechanics battle encounters. And yes, I've been playing for over 30 years and just because I'm not playing some peak autistic version of D&D doesn't mean it's wrong lol

I mostly run events, here's the night before an MESBG event I was running. I paint a lot of minis too. What are you doing?

Casey @berniebro69.bsky.social · 11h

lol sure thing

Casey @berniebro69.bsky.social · 11h

I'm not bragging when I say that unless you're like 45 years old that it is literally impossible for this to be the case lol

Casey @berniebro69.bsky.social · 11h

Is kind of funny he found a way I didn't anticipate by appointing everyone to DoJ and then suing the government to then pay him out via a free money glitch lol

After your mother found out she was pregnant with you did she immediately get hooked up to a Tylenol IV?

Casey @berniebro69.bsky.social · 12h

All the people defending him and all the people who were big mad about identity politics in 2016 is one big circle

Warcraft, which was originally a rip off of Warhammer so you're not wrong for confusing them

Casey @berniebro69.bsky.social · 13h

Do I think someone in the Democrats should be funding Corpsegrinder to run for Senate in Florida? Yes, yes I do. Let's give Ezra Klein that big ass tent he's been talking about.

Casey @berniebro69.bsky.social · 13h

conversely I think George "Corpsegrinder" Fischer would be a great nominee for Senator from Florida

Casey @berniebro69.bsky.social · 13h

the only bit of grace I give to these people is that I'm pretty confident Musk has said things to Trump to make Trump think that Musk did something to fuck with the vote to have Trump win but yeah otherwise blue maga are pretty obnoxious evolutions of KHive people

Casey @berniebro69.bsky.social · 14h

literally just think it's OK for us to have higher standards for would be senators than I apply to the bands I listen to (would not listen to a band if any members had this tattoo)

Casey @berniebro69.bsky.social · 14h

that's an insane take lol

Casey @berniebro69.bsky.social · 14h

ok

Casey @berniebro69.bsky.social · 14h

I'd just like it if people asked if it was OK to join Blackwater in 2018 and start there lol
