Okay, so they are just monocrop idiots instead. Pardon me if I don’t cry a river for the industrial land rapers.

I currently look at what was a fetile farm valley that’s been so stripped of it’s topsoil that the only thing these morons grow any more out here are Filberts. You know a lot of Americans salivating for Filberts?

I have zero sympathy for those that stay industrial ag over sustainable…

Well they don’t exactly have a ‘Global Tyrant of the Year’ award, so I guess they gotta apply for something…

Loving this (probably ai) picture there.

Tons of hives - not a plant in sight for miles… I think I found your problem.

it’s hilarious. he gets redder every day, the more he gets posted…

Nah really, some of you kinda suck at photoshop…

Sorry, old timer chiming in here.

Isn’t it obvious that the Makers are well aware, and even condone this behavior? This isn’t by circumstance, it’s purely intentional to drive the value up.

What’s a bit hilarious about this - is this is exactly the lizard brained shit we saw way back in the 80’s-90’s with Cabbage Patch Kids, and Beanie babies.

I think it’s great as a game, but too often you all seem to direct blame to the behaviors they promote in people, rather than taking Pokemon to task over the clearly problematic distribution issues.

Yep, Lemmy feels more like Reddit every day.

(not the cool Reddit that had news, fun, and information - The sad post-Spez reddit with meaningless feeds, dystopia and incels)

But yeah, really. Some top-tier World News here…

It’s frankly uncanny. This phase of things…

Touch grass? Yes easily, have my morning garden routine, play with the cats, take a photo here and there…

Myself, I’m armed, I expect this civil war to eventually go ‘hot’. I also think the left will (initially) get decimated because nobody is taking this seriously as a war.

However,

Here in the rural sticks, the realities don’t align. The fourth felt like a typical day in Mayberry. You see no evidence of the strife, ICE, any of it. -And you DEFINITELY don’t want to be some idiot lone-wolf starting something…

I’m a little reluctant to talk about our hispanic populace. Just in that you can really see the rift between those families that voted trump (and for some ungodly reason think they are safe) versus those that have gotten real quiet. It’s a brooding tension, that hasn’t erupted. But largely they act like nothing is happening

As things are going, the facade will break eventually. But hell yes, I take in these peaceful moments unlike ever before.

Tripod is a must, also you have to have a camera (or app) that will give you long exposure times.

For instance, this here is a ten second shot. Four seconds is about the minimum if you want the full hit.

(Edit) Littletranspunk has an excellent comment here with advice as well, thanks for that!

This was a Lumix S5, vintage Vivitar MC 70-210mm. Manual focus and locked at f/12

yawn

Why yes, the first openly gay ghost in comics…

Always the dogwhistle…

NOTHING anymore is social programs, social benefit, societal good.

OMG it’s a SOCIALIST!!

Yeah, he’s muslim too - Eeeek!

People actually do see through this shit - and some even keep the receipts…

This is a premier example why we need to stop using those terms altogether.

Yes, history is cyclic, but we ought to give more credit to the zeitgeist we face today.

Never in our history have we seen such an efficient conglomeration of religion, supremecy, and hate groups working in unison.

They deserve new, fresh words. Something catchy to yell, as we throw molotovs at them…

That’s cute. Thinking that voting, ballots, and petitions are something that works right now…

Love Sanders, but he just like the rest, sit currently in a party that means to sabotage their every possible effort. Time to wake up.

Right? Duly reported…

Patriotism is a MacGuffin -

It’s a feeling.

Now, you may think I’m attempting to invalidate it, but far from it. From the revolutionary war up to present - what is a ‘Patriot’ has been poorly defined, and left to subjective interpretation.

Forget the gaslighting Republicans have been under since the Tea-Party. Let’s go back, say thirty years, to the Family Values Coalition. Or perhaps another thirty years back to McCarthyism and the HUAC. Or even further back to Strom Thurman trying to legitimize the KKK. (or else we could just recognize that the family lines in control of the narrative now, are the slave-owner families of the South.)

-Make no doubt - They think they are ‘Patriots’.

People will become bellicose about what a true ‘patriot’ is - I tell you, don’t give two flying-f*cks…

Did Thomas Paine, and Paul Revere know the impact of their actions on those days? Of course not.

And that is the way it will be with this new history. It tends to be defined by the victors, by the way. Might wanna get off your ass…

Well, I was going to mention the typo - But that was before all the IMDB links…

Da Fuq?

All I can say, is the neoliberal efforts towards gun control not only didn’t work - it’s backfired in a way that’s about to make a slave nation out of all of us.

I have nothing to celebrate as an American. I seek…

The charismatic leader, with a plan, with command and control, and more importantly - clear guidelines for the cessation of hostilities. Sure would be nice if the rest of you caught up…

Well lets see, you are coming out of one of the biggest tanks ever for the gaming movie franchise. The online mentions are far more jokes about your IP than any kind of nostalgia.

Sure, go exclusive! And make sure you code 60% of your next project with AI - the gamers will love it!

And what? Tell them to get a spine? Oust the corporate sycophants? Restore the New Deal? Prosecute the traitors?

This is what they are.
