  I was so, so very wrong. And I’m quite happy about it.

  First of all, thanks for being on Lemmy. I get nothing out of it when the lefty hivemind argues against a strawman. At least you give us the real thing. Fuck gh0stcassette.

  Second of all, Trump only campaigned on a populist platform in 2016. He railed against CEOs, various special interests, and other “swamp creatures” under the premise that he was going to fund his own campaign and didn’t need their money. It was honestly kind of refreshing, even if he was ultimately full of shit and failed to deliver. But I haven’t heard Trump’s 2016 rhetoric in a long time. Not regarding the ruling class. Maybe he still says “drain the swamp” now and then, but many of those who opposed Trump in 2016, e.g. Wall Street, now largely support him, and Trump openly panders to them for their donations. It’s not that people in power hate him; it’s just the people you don’t like in power who hate him.

  Vote third party if you hate the elites.

  Anyone who disagrees with you isn’t a troll. Biden looked how he looked, and moderates/independents don’t have the same appetite for copium as you do.

  The age isn’t itself the problem. Cognitive decline is the problem. Biden is in rapid decline; Trump is still a ways off.

  People think Biden may actually do it? I hope I’m wrong, but I think that’s pure fantasy. One ego is definitely bigger than the other, but you don’t become President by being a good person.

  The SCOTUS interpretation is exactly the interpretation I was taught in school back in the 90’s/2000’s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TBH 6 was kind of a downgrade from 5⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the micromanagement. When earlier games became tedious, I could just pick a quicker game speed, and I would suddenly feel like I was playing with more momentum. But in VI, it actually kills momentum, as if driving the slightly faster route to work at the cost of particularly frustrating traffic, since the most tedious micro isn’t turn-based, but city-based. You only have to plan districts/improvements once per city, so I find I can still have fun with VI if I play suboptimally (i.e., tall) on tiny maps and with mods that let me cram more civilizations into the game. I’ve probably put in a few hundred hours this way.

  But I’d rather just play IV or V.

  Look at the way the light reflects on the far right between the sink and the mirror. I think that’s tile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just fuck my shit up⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t tell if the mirror is flush with the tile or if it was just outlined in grout, but either way, this contractor cares about the details. I would’ve just slapped the mirror on top.
