    Republicans. When I was a child, slogans like “fiscally responsible”, “family values”, “smaller government “ sounded like good things. Republicans always claimed the moral high ground. But they’ve spent my entire adult life proving it as manipulative bullshit for personal greed and power, holding themselves above the law, the worst in humanity, rising to our current flirt with fascism.

    Google. It was once a good search engine. Now I find myself getting only the most irrelevant results based on my keywords and more often than not an advanced search turns up nothing of value

    Nintendo.

    Things got worse once Bowser got ahold of the American castle.

    The fun dissolved with Iwata and Reggie gone.

    The line to far for me was their retroactive bs patents used to attack Palworld. It’s one thing to be strict on your own systems, but another to do it to others. 80s Nintendo is back and possibly worse than before.

      It wasn’t Bowser, it was the finance guys that were placed at the head of the company after Satoru Iwata’s death.

    Jk Rowling. She was (I think) the only billionaire to ever debillonaire themselves without dying (i.e., she donated so much wealth to charity that she was no longer a billionaire).

    But then she decided to dedicate herself to making trans people’s lives miserable…

      I’m curious which charities she was donating to before she turned into a massive cunt. Cause all she donates to now are hate groups.

        Good question, I never actually looked into it. According to her Wikipedia page:

        She established the Volant Charitable Trust in 2000, and co-founded the charity Lumos in 2005. Rowling’s philanthropy centres on medical causes and supporting at-risk women and children. In 2025, Forbes estimated that Rowling’s charitable giving exceeded US$200 million. She has also donated to Britain’s Labour Party, and opposed Scottish independence and Brexit.

      Can she just die already? I normally don’t wish death on anyone. Just people that do extremely evil things.

    A certain elongated muskrat comes to mind. I love space so the thought of a reusable rocket to make space affordable was awesome. I also believe that electric cars are the future, and tesla did make pretty good charging standard and help to “prove” the concept. But now I just hope he somehow winds up dirt poor, and irrelevant. Just oh, my, god

    Many moons ago I thought Israel was just defending itself. For two decades now I’ve come to believe they are the problem, and are now committing wanton genocide
