  I very much get the first point. Victims need to be protected at all costs. Even if it means the public doesn’t get to know things.

  To the second point, the way Trump handled it felt very much like “case closed, nothing to see here”. This does not feel like justice is going to be served.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why democrats under Biden administration didn't release Epstein files?⁩ ⁨⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s possible they were protecting their own. You don’t release only the parts that implicate your opponents and leave out the parts that implicate your friends.

  I think it’s also possible there wasn’t any smoking gun that directly implicated anybody. Only loose associations to Epstein that we already were aware of.

  So if they did release it, Republicans wouldn’t believe anything in it that made them look bad, and Democrats wouldn’t care as they want a real smoking gun before they react. So it wouldn’t help in the election, and the release would have zero impact.

  Instead, let the next administration deal with it. With Trump now in charge, it really is a rock and a hard place. If there are “loose associations” that make him or his people look bad, and they are the ones to release it, Republicans would not be able to question its authenticity.

  Notice how Trump is now claiming Obama and Biden were manipulating the documents, which is why he won’t release it. This is giving his people a reason to be skeptical even if he does release something that looks bad.

  TLDR, either Democrats are implicated and Biden was protecting, or Biden felt it was better to let the next administration deal with it, especially if the next administration was Trump.

  Probably same applies for most people. Those books are very slow at times and hard to get through.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why did AT&T think "Eye of Sauron" was the way to go?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s interesting that Peter Jackson’s depiction was so good that people now just assume that’s how it always was.

  Damn, I’m just dumb.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gallium⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, I got that wrong. Scandalous makes it sound like it’s more import than it is. Most people sharing these memes had no idea this company existed and are not even thinking about legal ramifications.

  Their reaction in the video is priceless. Lead singer commenting is hilarious. All the other details is the cherry on top.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gallium⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not a big deal, just a fun story that blew up. Guy pops up on Jumbotron, looks horrified cause he knew he was cheating. Lead singer even comments on the fact that they’re having an affair. Turns out he was a CEO and that was his secretary (tail as old as time). Internet loves it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon takes shots at Donkey Kong⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I know this is rage bait, but DKC was fantastic. I remember when Blockbuster video held a contest where you could play a game, and if you had the best score in the entire store you could win free movie rentals for a year. And if you did good enough, you could qualify for a “The Wizard” style video game competition in California. I played the shit out of this game to practice for weeks. I learned all the spots where you could drop down a hole and instead of dying, you get some rewards. I went in to this blockbuster ready to get my family a year of free movie rentals and possibly a trip to California. The first hole I dropped down I died. They had a modified version of the game that didn’t have these secrets in it. I was entirely unprepared. I played my 3 turns and did pretty terrible. After we left the blockbuster my parents had to run into a store and I just waited in the car. I literally cried cause I was so disappointed in how bad I did.

  I used to have dreams that I was driving a car in busy traffic, but for some reason I was sitting in the back seat. Controlling the car from the back was very disorienting. Like my reaction time was lower cause I was further back. And I had no peripheral vision cause I couldn’t really see out the sides of the car. I wasn’t exactly driving a lot at the time, so I’m not sure what my subconscious was trying to tell me.
