I want to make it clear, Orange Man is not "my man." That being said, Trump Derangement Syndrome goes both ways.
He is not a savior. He drained the swamp last time to fill it with more swamp creatures. He's not the anti-Christ either. As divisive as his administration is (and it's intentional; he, like every president before him, is just a puppet of the CIA. The division is part of the propaganda).
That being said, the tariffs are mostly well thought out and good things. Closing the border to massive illegal crossing is a good thing. Deporting people before they're granted some kind of equitable entitlement (squatters rites) is a good thing. Stopping most foreign aid (which is used to extract resources form nations and make them less democratic) is a good thing.
Giving money to Israel and Ukraine is a bad thing. Musk isn't a Nazi, but giving more power to the world's largest defense contractor, who claims to be anti-censorship while he censors people, and who wants to chip your brain is a very bad thing. Hiring Peter Thiel's discount disciple JD "Discount Hillbilly" Vance (not his real name) is a very bad thing. Filling the crypto market with new TRUMP/MELINA shit-coins is dumb and bad thing.
You should look at issues individually. Don't focus on the puppet. He's a distraction. He's not the man behind the curtain.
@xianc78 yeah I always keep in mind that he relied heavily on public $$. (Since I don't lean into cults of personality anyway, I've never researched the extent of his reliance.)
Doesn't mean that I'm not thankful for a few things he's done, though.
Mother 1/Earthbound Zero/Earthbound Beginnings is the best and the only truly great Mother game because it actually feels like a late 20th century road trip movie adapted into an RPG.
Earthbound/Mother 2 is way too goofy and is mostly a retelling of the first game without the Giygas backstory. And Mother 3 is a very shallow critique of capitalism, modernity, and western culture which goes against the premise of the first two games, and it might as well be a Final Fantasy game.
I think the series in general is overrated, but if one game is deserving of the hidden gem status, it would be the first one.

>also alot of the new momentum in the development side of things is putting a mastodon-adjacent gay retarded governing body behind the ""standards"" (if you can even call them anything beyond a suggestion) so I dont expect it to improve with time
I made a post about it the other night, but Mastodon's competition going forward is going to be bsky and not Twitter/similar as much.
Not having quote tweets fucked them over hard because it was a battle of the 2017 post-CVille leftists who felt "if this feature can cause harassment, it shouldn't exist" vs the 2025 "Dude, where's my quotes" Twitter refugees.
