B–b–b–bingo!
- Comment on how badly could a pelican fuck me up in a fight? 5 days ago:
Go try to eff with a goose if you think you’re so tough.
- Comment on Do you have any recommendations for casual games? 1 week ago:
The ones I’ve played of late are:
Disney Dreamlight Valley Dungeons of the Endless (Casual, but a tad addictive) Dungeon Defenders
- Comment on NBC News Does Entire Piece Trying To Link CEO Shooting To ‘Violent Video Game’ 1 week ago:
Trying to fill a 24-hour news cycle requires a lot of bullshit, and Fox, NBC, CNN, CBS, and your favorite news outlet are happy to shovel it.
Stop watching partisan, billionaire-owned news outlets and start consuming international news and non-partisan sites. (Like the AP)
- Comment on Has any country actually _solved_ the housing crisis? 1 week ago:
True, but they could just decide to ignore homeless people like most of the US and other capitalist countries have, but they didn’t.
- Comment on Has any country actually _solved_ the housing crisis? 1 week ago:
Finland only has approximately 1000 willfully homeless people. I’d call that solving the crisis.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Shouldn’t the side that’s beholden to not burning it all down realize that their inaction leads to everything being burned down anyway in the end
They know.
They don’t care. They’re getting rich off of the current situation in Washington too. Hell, they can loan their campaigns their own money and pay themselves back with your campaign contributions at 20% interest. It’s really, really easy to get obscenely wealthy being a legislator.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
The Democrats pretend to care about norms and rules because that’s what they’re paid to do. Republicans reject and subvert rules because that’s what they’re paid to do. Corporate interests control both parties and this performative dance makes it easier to keep the poor and middle class away from any semblance of power.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 2 weeks ago:
Mutual aid is where it’s at.
- Comment on What do people who promoted the "FEMA camps" conspiracy theory think about Trump's mass deportation? 2 weeks ago:
They rationalize to themselves that whatever outrageous thing they used to be opposed to is just different when it’s their guy doing it.
I don’t think most people think things like this through, both liberal and conservative. For the most part they use corporate social media like Facebook, Twitter, or TikTok, and we know objectively that the algorithms feeding those users content are engineered to convince them that all of their opinions are correct (no matter how odd or outlandish) and to keep them perpetually outraged so they’ll continue to consume and click on ads. With AI proliferating, we’re now seeing the fast-tracking of false perspectives and information across the web.
Hell, for most of the last presidential election both sides were making excuses for the fact that they intended to vote for someone with clear, public, unavoidably evident cognitive decline. They didn’t think through that.
- Comment on 'Baldur's Gate 3': Patch 8 Will Get TWELVE New Subclasses In 2025 2 weeks ago:
Glorious.
Let’s hope Sony doesn’t snatch them up too.
- Comment on how do you workout when you don't have much time? 2 weeks ago:
I think building it into your routine rather than making it an event is key.
Yup, and I’d also recommend planning your exercise around the time your energy peaks during the day. I’m a morning person, so I work out in the morning.
- Comment on Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale? 3 weeks ago:
The DLC for Dark Souls 3.
Decided to give it another try after picking it up in 2017 and hating it, and for whatever reason, I like it now.
- Comment on So this is how my neighbor fixes his fence. 3 weeks ago:
Why do you even care?
- Comment on FromSoftware Parent Kadokawa Confirms Sony’s Buyout Intent, but Insists ‘No Decision Has Been Made at This Time’ 4 weeks ago:
UGGGGHHHH, please let it not happen.
- Comment on Woke up today to find out my demo has 100% Positive rating (from 10/10 reviews) 5 weeks ago:
That’s wonderful. Happy for you!
- Comment on Donald Trump's sentencing was postponed to after the election to avoid any assistance of election interference. Can he be sentenced while he is President Elect? 1 month ago:
No.
It’s over. Trump is never going to be held accountable for any of it. In a few years he’ll die peacefully in his bed like Kissinger did.
- Comment on How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?! 1 month ago:
Exactly. Harris was tasked with defending and indefensible record. It’s that simple.
- Comment on How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?! 1 month ago:
It’s simple, and history has borne this out many many times.
In a bad economy, no one cares about your politics if you’re the candidate of change. There’s a reason why Harris spent two months repeating memes instead of defending Biden’s policies, because it’s impossible to defend the fact that you had four years to rule and there are more people working 2-3 jobs just to survive.
They knew they needed to appeal to workers. Instead, they spent most of the campaign repeating this meaningless platitude about joy to people who are being worked to death.
- Comment on Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room? 1 month ago:
bundle up everywhere else.
It should be noted that if you don’t need to heat the room you’re in, you can also get an electric blanket for $30 or less, and those babies work infinitely better at keeping you warm than a space heater.
- Comment on Will COVID death rates of Republicans have a significant impact on the outcome of the presidential election? 1 month ago:
Fair point. I’ll delete my comment.
- Comment on Is American politics really as seemingly satirical of itself as it is portrayed? 1 month ago:
Nailed it.
Both parties are heavily funded by the 0.01%, and that’s neither a lie nor a coincidence.
- Comment on My wacky indie game has reached 6000 wishlists, I made this meme to explain how it feels 2 months ago:
I’m happy for you!
- Comment on Is there a reason the US is sending 100 of our people to Israel? 2 months ago:
I mean, we’re being told that’s why it is. We were also once told we had to fight Iraqis because they had nukes.
I don’t think any of us really knows what’s happening there.
- Comment on Goddammit Texas! 2 months ago:
That’s shitty. I’m sorry to hear it.
- Comment on Goddammit Texas! 2 months ago:
It’s wild.
There are some local and state governments trying to pass automatic voter registration, but it’s an uphill battle, not unlike most things that would generally benefit the public good in this country.
- Comment on Goddammit Texas! 2 months ago:
Not a Texan, but here in Missouri, you can request your absentee ballot as early as 9/24 this year.
I requested mine, waited two weeks, and it never arrived. So last week I requested another, and I’m waiting for it. I do think there’s some fuckery afoot with the mail, so I’m probably going to be stuck voting absentee in-person at my local election board.
- Comment on Steam does the opposite of forcing Arbitration on its users 2 months ago:
It made me smile when I saw it this morning.
- Comment on Sid Meier's Pirates, and everyone else in the game, are aware of the date... 2 months ago:
That’s so cool.
I played the hell out of this game in the 90’s, and then again when they re-released it. How fun is it to actually have to sneak into town and complete a stealth mission when your pirate’s got a high level of notoriety?
- Comment on Has Google Search gotten so much worse in the last couple of weeks? 2 months ago:
It’s crap.
You can use udm14.org though.
