Maybe one day enough younger people will be in elected that understand computers aren’t magic. There’s no fundamental difference between selling a DVD and a digital movie, from a legal perspective.

Confusion plus a pokemon that flipped coins was awful. Nothing like dieing while dealing no damage.

It’s an unrated cut.

If you want to be a bit pedantic the and is incorrect for a year. When you say a number the and should be to denote a decimal portion of a number. It’s generally not always used that way so context is often required to determine the intent.

It happened to a friend of mine. I don’t think it was intentional. Guns are common heirlooms, suicide definitely makes it awkward though.

Does it really matter between those two? End of the day, Trump motivated his base and Harris didn’t.

Is it not possible to just run in a circle endlessly in the game?
- Comment on Are disabled people and the elderly going to survive another Trump presidency? 1 week ago:
Nothing is going to happen to social security, at least for the old people. If you’re in your 30s or less, it might not exist by the time you’re eligible, but that has little to do with trump.
- Comment on US Democracy 1 week ago:
The people that supported trump were always going to support him and be energized to vote. That’s a big part of why focusing on his lies was such a waste of time, it wasn’t going to change any minds. Winning elections is about motivating your base, undecided voters are a wash and opposing voters aren’t likely to massively shift.

Fumbling what should have been a cupcake question to talk about a major campaign promise is inexcusable.

10s of Thousands of people motivated by not getting a week or so of pay because you couldn’t get your act together is bad for reelection prospects.
- Comment on Haters will say it’s fake 1 week ago:
They could have distanced themselves from the current administration though. They could have acknowledged that inflation has fucked most people, and be far more direct about addressing it than vague price gouging investigations that should be happening now. They could have come out in favor of any and every union striking. They could have had policies to guarantee profit sharing or granting equity. They could have made the totally empty promise of fighting for main street and not wall street.

If you can’t come up with a single sound bite if what makes you better than a fascist, that’s on you.
- Comment on Haters will say it’s fake 1 week ago:
It’s absolutely a problem if in a single election cycle you go from 60-70% support to just over 50%. In tight elections like the last few that is a losing formula. Especially for Latinos who are the fastest growing minority. If Republicans keep this up they could be getting almost 60% of that vote in 2024, and Democrats are suddenly the ones facing irrelevance based on voter demographics.

So long as you have some savings, a government shutdown is more a vacation than anything. Back pay has always been given to employees.
- Comment on US Democracy 1 week ago:
The results aren’t showing that though. They are showing a large amount of Democrat voters just stayed on the couch. Trump didn’t get more votes than 2020, all that was needed was an energized democratic base.

She didn’t have to defend it. This was an election to run over Biden until he was just a pile of goo. She could have came out with some strong contrasting policies, instead she gave some great sound bytes for Trump.

Plenty of people will also never vote for a black man, but that worked spectacularly for the Democrats the first time.

What’s more iconic than Mordor?

I think the problem is that they use the same open world formula that they started, but others have taken and improved it and they haven’t kept up with the times. Shadow of Mordor/war scratch the same itsch as assassin’s creed with more interesting mechanics. Those aren’t even new games at this point. Horizon zero dawn and forbidden West offer a more action focused experience with a better open world, again not super modern games.
It’s like Bethesda, they are still putting out games that are straight from 2010.

- Comment on Apex Legends is taking away its support for the Steam Deck and Linux 1 week ago:
That would just cause legit Linux players to generate negativity by always being stuck with cheaters. It’s way easier to just remove support if it really is most of your cheating problems for such a small player base.
