Social The Social Thread 3.2.1

[---]

Definitely a lot of people that I wish I could give hugs to now, as certainly could use one myself. It's 6 am here and I'm having a hard time sleeping.

My DMs are certainly open for anyone who wants to vent or talk.

 

[Noipoi]

If this is really what the American people want, then I hope they get exactly what they deserve. And after four years of chaos when nothing gets better I hope they remember what they did. I know they won’t though.

To the women, minorities, and LGBT people though…I’m really sorry. It’s so unfair that we’ll have to suffer just for existing.

 

[Wario Bros.]

The Nintendo Switch Online Playtest Program officially ended last night. Hope it'll become a full game for everyone.

Though I am not sure if I'm allowed to talk about my experiences with it now.

 

[SneakyLink]

Definitely not the way many people expected this to go.

If anyone needs to vent or talk, I’ll leave my DMs open.

 

[Aurane]

I didn't vote so I have no say in what has happened.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Being on here is too upsetting to me right now. I think I need a few days of rest to get a hold of my feelings and hang out with the people I'm close to in my personal life.

Here's one more picture of Valmont before I hit the road.

See you all whenever I'm feeling better.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

peice of **** country with its old white men that hate women, hope they all die
****ing useless democrats. ****ing stupid people. ****ing stupid life. no matter how many meds I take my body refused to die, Its not fair, just let me die

 

[IsmaR]

Not much I can add until the aftermath really sets in. Same as the above, if anyone wants to talk privately I'll be around.

I plead everyone take time as necessary. As valid as all the concerns may be, overwhelming the mind is the last thing needed at a time like this. Take care of yourselves, sleep, decompress as best you can etc. Above all else remember whether it feels like it or not, you matter.

Please stop hurting yourself

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Best thing I can say is to live out of spite. Don't give that pedophillic ****stain or his fans the satisfaction of anyone snuffing their own lives out

C'mon man, this isn't the way to do it.

If you're truly overmedicating, stop and check yourself into a hospital. An election is not worth losing your life over, there's so much more to life out there. A presidency switch doesn't mean yours should end like that.

 

[Wario Bros.]

This makes me very happy

The chances of Metroid getting more love after Prime 4 are really good now.

Hi Ismar. Nice to see you around.

 

[TheMightyP]

Full transparency tho, I originally wasn't even gonna vote. This was an awful election through and through, and was lowkey not feeling the vibe. I do believe straight up telling Arab dems to go screw themselves was not a good idea in the long run.

Again, buckle up to my fellow minorities. And by buckle up, I mean delete Twitter.

Free Palestine. Black lives matter, yadda yadda.

 

[Alphine Agnitio]

we're living in the worst timeline

 

[Xfire]

As much as many people express misery and meaningless among themselves today, please remember that you are the source of happiness from the people who care about you, even if there's minimal contact. When I was playing Rivals of Aether 2, I unexpectedly reunited with a friend I haven't interacted with for 4 years, which brought happiness when we were catching up. There's more to life, and it's not worth becoming the worst of ourselves.

My last political post with my thoughts: Just as we survived the first four years of Trump, we can survive another four. That’s assuming he isn’t hit with the 25th Amendment by JD within the first two. Clearly this is what the majority of Americans wanted, whether we like it or not. In my opinion, the candidate swap didn’t kill the Democrat’s chances more than the fear-mongering was such a successful tactic from Trump that it gave him the win like in 2016.

I don’t like Project 2025, and I’m expecting a whole lot of surprised pikachu faces when Trump enacts their policies and the sufferers cry “B-B-But he said he wouldn’t!”, after the notorious liar successfully lied once again.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Maybe Trump will just die from old age soon.

He's certainly up there.

With the confirmation of Switch 2 having backwards compatibility, here is what I want to know exactly it will be:

• Physical game cards
• Micro SD cards
• Wired controllers
• Labo
• Performance enhancements
• Cloud version games upgrades

I'm very happy that we're getting it at all but the more I know the better.

I'm hoping we can transfer data from Switch to Switch 2 so I don't need to replay Arceus.

...not that I have plans to get a Switch 2. Ooh no. I'm waiting this time.

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

Not American as I live in the UK, but yeah that country seems to be going to complete ****.

Gotta say, I feel like a lot of the time it feels like the left is bigger then it actually is, if you go off of just the internet anyway, as a lot of sites on the internet are very left leaning. But yeah, I really dislike people like Trump.

Twitter is also going to get way worse because of this, so I actually made a BlueSky account.

 

[Aurane]

I don't even have a Twitter account anymore. Any socialism I need comes from here and PokeMMO. And sometimes Discord.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

My heart and stomach feel queasy. The emptiness and trauma from 2016 seems to be coming back.

I try to stay optimistic but it's really f****** hard...

To be fair, a big part of this is absolutely on US democrats having the brilliant strategy of going "Hey, at least we aren't that guy!" while constantly trying to sway rightwing voters instead of trying to appeal to the left more. Like, Kamala kept saying "Israel has a right to self defence" while also being a cop and throwing trans people under the bus this past month. Like, imagine if the republican party tried to cater to the left each election instead of their usual ****

Maybe he will get shot
I like that better

...Looks like we got a pretty long way to go...

A long time to cook. Let's hope they don't burn this ****.

It was her Isreal stance that probably done her in, the fence sitting or condemation of pro-Palestine peeps caused her to lose the Arab vote by a lot.

Now they won't learn from that of course so see y'all in 2028.

I hate how my **** government's actions were direct contributors towards the results of this election. And they're celebrating right now too, I hope they get what's coming to them eventually.

That 7-year hibernation to be ready for the Master Sword ain’t no joke

 

[cashregister9]

The only thing I can say that won't get me on some sort of list is to keep living despite the odds, the right wants you to suffer, So doing the opposite is the easiest way to piss them off.

Also delete Twitter

I'm not gonna let them win.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I know that the election is on everyone's mind and talking about it will help us process our emotions.

But also remember to take breaks from all the chaos. For your own mental health's sake, it may be prudent to just sit down and do a comfort activity. Don't forget the value of your hobbies or your loved ones during this time.

 

[TheMightyP]

I second the notion to delete Twitter.

I mean it was already dying but yeah Musk won so that platform is just gonna be Neo Nazi central.

Goes to show you no one actually cares about the palestinian people. Even people you think are good because they are just wearing a mask

 

[Mushroomguy12]

I stopped going on twitter a long time ago anyway after they put the rate limit in place. Best decision of my life.

I would delete Twitter if it wasn't the fact that most of the people I follow there haven't gone to alternate social media accounts like Blusky yet. Some of them have, but not everyone.

 

[SneakyLink]

Made an account for Bluesky just now.

I’ll probably have it be based on what my Twitter account used to be, photographs that I find interesting.

 

[Jondolio]

I've been out of Twitter for 4 years now and I'm definitely not coming back now. Don't plan on making a Bluesky account either

[Z25]

Don't forget, as scary as project 2025 is, the republican party only have 4 years to implement those policies and there's no way that will go smoothly. I have very little faith in politicians but America is a big place, and definitely not a monolith. There will be resistance, and this resistance will be loud. Even if some policies will pass, not all of them will.

Also true, they have a majority of republicans in now, but there’s still other ways to stop/stall those polices being implemented. Which I think some governors and states will work together to do.

Tbh, I was prepared for another Trump presidency for a while.

I had some brief hope during the initial hype for Harris but it slowly dissipated as her campaign went on.

I'll probably be safe. I live in a blue state. And as much as Trump would love to be a dictator I don't think he's capable of succeeding at becoming one. But I still think he's still going to cause a lot of damage over the next four years.

I don't think a Vance presidency would be better.

Like I said it’s not ideal, but the man’s been a laughing stock to everyone. He will have a lot harder time getting support on polices and he definitely lacks the ability to motivate/inspire a crowd like trump does.
