For what it’s worth, both can be true. An economy can be both strong and precarious, such as many world markets in the 1920’s right before the great depression caused the economic collapse of the west.

The tariffs thing though is a joke. Not to the people who will be hurt by it, of course, but the idea that it will accomplish anything meaningful. It’s just a scapegoat tactic to blame foreign powers for a weakening dollar.

Meanwhile, my shitty brain:

I’ve thought this before and I believe it applies here as well.

Ultra-rich LGBT people aren’t really allies. Under the queer umbrella by definition, maybe, but not part of the community. It’s for the best to leave their perspectives completely disregarded.

As it was during more repressive times, being super rich completely insulates them from negative influences. They don’t understand what the majority of queer people have had to go through just to try to live normal lives.

For example, would anyone who’s never had to worry about money care about the financial benefits of marriage that queer couples risk losing if Obergefell is overturned? Or if someone can count the number of times they’ve ever had to use a public restroom on one hand, would they really care about trans people who are being banned from them?

He may be gay, but at the end of the day he’s still a rich, white male. There isn’t going to be a leopard-eats-face moment for him, just a jaguar among leopards joining in the face-eating.

But don’t worry, now that the correction is out, we’ll only have at least 15 years of people who saw those articles confidently declaring that Amelia Earheart’s plane was discovered (along with her remains).

Lemmy as a protocol does not currently support push notifications. The best an app could do is to stay running and constantly check for new messages, but that is far from an ideal workaround.

Controversial take perhaps, but most of the N64 generation.

There are a few standout games that I think of fondly, but that was the generation where most developers were still trying to figure out 3D gameplay. Most games were clunky, where playing felt more like fighting against the mechanics rather than working within them. And they aren’t that pretty to look at.

I also don’t feel any nostalgia when looking at modern games that use that sort of visual aesthetic either. I am fine with pixel art games which emulate earlier generations, because the developers are (mostly) still taking that visual medium and elevating it above what technology was capable at the time, and the end result feels artistic and cool to look at. But games that emulate the early 3D art style are emulating the weird aliasing, melty and inconsistent textures, chunky models, etc. which is just taking the current medium and reducing it down to its worst state.
