You’re a married male. People who are in their late teens/early 20’s are looking for life advice and people to emulate.

Is he actually good at it or are guys who want to hang out with a billionaire saying he’s good at it?

Yeah man all those well known jocks like Spez and Zuckerberg sure did a number on tech.

Man it’s like the majority of people here don’t have ‘regular guy’ friends.
The way to get to regular dudes, is to make them feel fucking included. Yes, diversity is fucking awesome. Yes, having women in leadership roles is fucking awesome. But for your average guy… who do they have to look up to on the left side of things? In the news? In congress? Who is on the national stage for these things? Who is talking to those people?
There isn’t anyone. There are tons of people talking to other groups of people, but there has been flat out no courting of the white dude demographic outside of White Dudes for Harris (which was brilliant but came too late).
Speak to the issues these guys are facing. Talk about dating. Talk about career struggles. Talk about feeling alone, and feeling vulnerable. And then, talk about solution based problem-solving for these things.
Why do you think the right wing latched onto guys who do the whole personal betterment thing? It’s the same shit that white supremacist groups do. They’ll get you with things that anyone can agree with like ‘Hey man if you work hard you’ll succeed. I fucking believe in you when no one else will.’ Then they go into the right wing bullshit because now they have you at an emotional level.
There is no online left presence doing these things, and there are multiple right wing people doing this shit.
Make a left wing Joe Rogan, and bro-dudes will watch that shit like shit on velcro. But it has to be a dude-bro talking to them. It can’t be Rachel Maddow or AOC, it has to be someone who comes from that background.

He absolutely deserved it.
He’s a creep, and he also fucking stalked a friend of mine for like 2 years.

Streamers are taking too long between seasons of shows. If you’re taking 3 fucking years between seasons, you don’t have a tv show. You have something else entirely.

Same. I put in like 3 hours into Breakpoint and I was like 'where’s literally all the flavor gone from this game? So glad I waited until it was like a 5 dollar steam sale. Even then I tried to refund it but was past the ‘trial’ period.

Fuuuucking this.
It’s Grand Theft Auto; Special Forces.
I wish they didn’t absolutely butcher the sequel. It feels fucking awful compared to Wildlands.
- Comment on ONE PIECE: Season 2 | Special Announcement | Netflix 1 month ago:
Like…
the production value is good but it’s not super amazing. That’s fine. But the big issue is that they take so fucking long between seasons that I just don’t care anymore.
I give zero fucks at all about the ‘new’ Stranger Things that, sometime soonish, will come out?
Like, it’s been fucking years at this point. There’s no hype anymore.

For me her character just seemed very one note. She seemed to have remorse at the end for the ACTION she did, but the problem is, she was just very ‘here’s my goal and I’m going to do it’ the rest of the season.
Idk, to each their own, but the story was way worse than season 1 for me.
- Comment on 'The Last of Us' Season 2 Finale Viewership Down 55% From Season 1 1 month ago:
Honestly the last few episodes weren’t that good to me. 7 is too short for a show, and she wasn’t a good enough actress to carry the show without Pedro.
That’s okay, it’s just an issue for them to solve.
- Comment on ONE PIECE: Season 2 | Special Announcement | Netflix 1 month ago:
There better be a significant time jump, because holy shit taking 3 years between seasons is getting really fucking old on every damned show. At least Disney is committing to going back to ‘one season a year’ so that’s something.

Didn’t play the second game, but the issue I had with season 2 was it was disjointed and you could ‘feel’ the game style storytelling.
While the first game from a story standpoint was very much on rails, I’d gather that the second game was very much not linear levels like the game was for the first one?
Bella is a decent actress, but she’s not a series lead. The show felt too heavy for her shoulders, and that’s okay. Idk how much of the characters development (or lack thereof) was her or the game storytelling, but it just felt flat as the season progressed if that makes sense.

None of these leftists have done shit. They just shit talk on the internet, and pretend that sitting out is doing something worthwhile.

Yeah exactly. He’s clearly just a troll trying to get leftists/liberals to sit out because ISSUE wasn’t immediately addressed. Literally that’s a right wing tactic. Lol.

Yeah, and you’d think that even leftists would agree that having the people in charge that want cheaper college, and cheaper medicine/healthcare would be the better option, even if (from their lens) they are a right wing party.
- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 2 months ago:
Sure. My point stands. A leftist will get 30-50% of what they want with a Democrat in office compared to 0% of what they want.
A toddler can work out it’s better that you get a small portion of what you want, instead of nothing. It’s really that simple.

Dude, you guys don’t give a shit that Myanmar is in a civil war, Sudan is in a civil war, China is ethnically cleansing Uighur Muslims, and that India and Pakistan are in almost-open conflict.
You put the fact that a trump ally in Israel wouldn’t listen to Democrats solely on the shoulders of Biden and Harris while completely not giving a singular fuck about any of those other conflicts.
This is why people like you are the PERFECT definition of slactivists, who are looking for a reason to not get a portion of what you want so you can feel morally superior to others for not participating in democracy.
Get over yourself.

I’ll give you a huge one.
Purity tests (when cosplaying as liberals). If a person isn’t super-duper liberal on every single issue then you can’t support them.
There’s tons of this on this very site. People who will tell you they’ll stay home and not vote for someone, if they only support 80% of what they seemingly want. People see this, then emulate said behavior.
Somehow, liberals would rather get 0% of what they want instead of 50% because of the missed 30% that the candidate doesn’t support.

I spend about 100 on the game. I paid like 45 or 50 for the base game then spend about 50 to upgrade my ship. Honestly, I don’t feel ‘scammed’ at that price point. I feel bad for the dudes who spent thousands on ships though.

Last I saw, Squadron 42 (the single player version of the game) is function complete and undergoing optimization, but SC the multiplayer game will never be finished in my mind.

As someone who has exactly one ship in the game, it’s not ‘bad’ if you just want to go ‘live a space life’ and do stuff like that.
It’s cool you can go do stuff in-world and not have loading screens, and just fly around ships doing trading, PVE missions, or doing space stuff, it’s enjoyable. There’s not much else to it, but if that’s what you expect it’s fun.
I don’t get the cultists thinking they’re playing the game in some future state where it’s anything more than that, though. I spent like… fuck, maybe 100 bucks? For the hours I put in, I enjoyed it but I’d never put in the 10s of thousands of dollars other people have dumped into this game.
