So, selling some Raytheon stock is "anti-Isreal?"

If your plan is foiled by people knowing their basic human rights, then you are a bad guy in a 1980s coming-of-age movie and I challenge you to a skiing competition.

Surprising no one. We must conclude that the Biden Administration intentionally decided that arming and funding a genocide was worth losing the presidency.

Yup. Easy uninstall otherwise.

Bahamut Lagoon is still one of the best written games ever. Find a translation if you need to. It's wonderful

If the penalty for a crime you were caught and convicted of doing is literally nothing, then it would be foolish to not be a criminal

This, but for basically every for-profit insurer for the past five years. Anyone with insufficient reserves now should be nationalized because clearly their for-profit model is useless.

"Resources." They didn't want to pay to do the work so that citizens will bear 100% of the risks and costs even though they already paid for it. We'll also have to pay to bail out the insurance companies that I guarantee will cry that they don't have large enough reserves despite historic stock buybacks and dividends in the industry.

A failure on so many levels.

Doing an #introduction post! 👋

A friend on Bluesky recommended this place; they really missed the easiest layup ever. I'm probably going to lurk here to figure out how best to interact with it, but it seems fun so far.

I'm a writer and artist. Unapologetically bi in a committed throuple. Mostly into fiction, music, and retro games.

I'm a veteran, but nothing has convinced me that the root cause of many of America's problems are white supremacy than having to work with senior military officers.

I wrote two complete (and one in-progress) sprite comics all set in the same universe that are story-driven, epic fantasies rather than comedy-driven stories.

If you enjoy the SNES RPGs from the Golden Age of Square Enix, then I think you will like my stories. (www.fortunasaga.com)
