As much as we clown on obama-drone Trump was worse when it comes to drone strikes.

There is an almost reflexive urge to downplay Trump around here, he is the one that set the course of heightened tensions with Iran, provided steadfast support for the Saudis war in Yemen and that moved the embassy to Jerusalem. He isn’t going to be good for the Middle East, hopefully the Ukrainian meat grinder will stop though.

Not surprised to see the Zionist shitheads immediately crumble the moment they don’t have police protection or outnumber the people they target 10:1.

Saw someone blame the concept of "latinx".

The ‘economy’ is a big thing. That doesn’t mean GDP in this case, but that there is inflation and no rise in wages that follows. When the message from the incumbent side is that things are great actually and you’re wrong if you don’t think so the viability of the policies from the other side stops mattering as much. The big problem is that history didn’t end and neoliberal policy is failing right left and centre all over the world.

Also that Kamala is a historically shit candidate, there is a reason she immediately ate shit in the 2020 primaries.

The true victim of all this is AOC who now has to pretend to care about things again.

Dems were on a roll when Walz came in and they decided to call out republicans for being weirdos. But then they remembered that a strong Republican Party is more important than winning, so they spent most of the election season parading around the Cheneys and begging Bush for an endorsement. The lesson that the dems are going to take from this is to run Mitt Romney next time around.

Elon Musk of squirrels sicko-wistful

I can only wish that he follows the example of his rodent brother.

"Ironic" nazi imagery used to be popular in certain parts of the 70s punk scene in London, which is where the brand originates from.

In this case I think the problem is less you being able to read social cues and more the other persons issue. I usually am able to defuse it with a couple of "that's crazy" or "never thought of it like that" so they shut up about it if they get too into it. It is also how I get through most conversations with coworkers who are deep down a conspiracy hole.

Examples of topics this has become a "deal" for while not mattering at all: Sex club hygiene, web browsers, cars, ski brands, rub on tattoos, cellphones, weed, shrooms, acid, synth music, metal music and sewing.

Wonder if this is why they are pivoting so hard to P Diddy.

Lathe of heaven, it is essentially about someone who can alter reality with their thoughts.

I can tell you that there used to be, I was a part of it. But I’m talking about 20+ years ago.

Having online verification for offline video games was something that Valve pioneered and made the standard for all PC games. So much of todays shitty gaming climate was pioneered by Valve including loot boxes, achievements and always on drm.

I swear you people would start defending Monsanto licenses if they had sales for video games and supported porting games to Linux.

Removing the license from the actual media means that there is no used game market. It is a pretty significant step.
