These people are leading us?!?

There have always been dumb people in politics, is all I'm saying. It's not a new thing, we're just more aware of it these days, lol.

"one the most evil men?"

No? I don't watch TYT because I don't much care for Cenk's style and I think Cenk and Ana use poor argumentation for their points half the time, but painting them as scum of the universe is stupid.

SMTV.

.... Shit.

I have pretty much zero faith, however, that he got fired because he wanted to nuke Gaza instead of just because he publicly admitted that nuking Gaza was on the table. That rhetoric of "there are no non-combatants in Gaza" is a common refrain among many Israeli officials, it just doesn't get the immediate horrible PR that mentioning nukes does (as much as it probably should).

I agree. And considering they're also killing Palestinians in the West Bank, their "everyone in GAZA is a terrorist who must die" shtick is clearly just cover for "Palestinians must die in general."

I did not expect that movie to end the way it did.

It's okay, nothing of quality obviously. If you do go there I recommend ordering the stuff with the most vegetables in it.

The Idaho one with the baby-sized potato, lol. Wtf happened with New Mexico and West Virginia, lmao?

Oh, you mean this:

This is not going to help the Palestinian people. It's just going to get a shitload of civilians killed.

The performance itself is really nice- what demon did that drummer make a deal with, lol?- but as is often the case for metal with me, the grumpy cookie monster singing is very distracting and makes me wish the song didn't have a vocalist.

Lord of the Rings Vol 1 maybe? It's OST is incredible though...

I don't have a problem with this. The restriction of their freedoms is their sentence, not the conditions of the place where they have been restricted to. It's not like living in an absolute shithole magically makes you a better person.

There were a lot of calls for feinstein to resign iirc. What do you believe is the main reason that she resisted all calls , to do so?

It might have been the same reason RBG didn't. Ego caused them to want to wait for a "special moment" to retire. In RBG's case, she wanted to leave when the first woman president was sworn in (she thought Clinton would win, in other words).

We've done this poll like 5 times I'm never anyone's favorite color.

My mom's favorite color is yellow.

Green.

I used to be a lot more bothered by it, and certainly I disapprove when, say, a video game script or a book fucks up their spelling/grammar and it obviously wasn't intentional and is purely the product of carelessness/crunch time/etc.

Also, being overly frivolous about this can make works inaccessible to people with disabilities. There *needs* to be a minimum level of clarity to text, otherwise people aren't even going to be able to engage with it.

That said, I'm not going to try and correct people on random posts on the internet and such unless they ask for it specifically, such as "Would you proof-read this?"

"Maple Pecan Pie" I'd try that. Sounds interesting.

papa.

Not really, no, I've never been good at maintaining relationships.

Storm or Polaris.

I hate the summer, I can't wait for it to end. I feel like shit 24/7 during the summer (allergies).

There was that cop who got beaten to death by other cops for reporting sexual misconduct I guess which is close

Zelda 2, overrated? People shit on that game all the time.

Now LoZ and Metroid... you might have a point there.

No. I watched a playthrough of it, and on top of outright cringing away from the screen due to some of the ability effects in combat to the point where I couldn't even stand to watch combat at all (got 3 headaches over the course of watching the playthrough despite averting my eyes where possible), the game is an disgustingly shameless ripoff of Tales of Berseria, just with only one playable character, worse gameplay, some of the shittiest fem characters I've seen for quite some time, and an apparent fixation with trying to be as grim-dark as possible to the point where I was actively scoffing at parts.

So... I can't play it without getting a headache, and I have already played a game that did this story first, and BETTER.

this is definitely a case of selective prosecuting (in that most politicians are absolutely guilty of this, because we overclassify too many things), but trump's burnt through all of the hundreds of safety nets every politician has lmao

Also of note is that Pence did exactly the same thing, and by and large, "the left" is equally fine with that, as much as so many cultists try to insist that Biden's getting a free pass because he's not right-wing.

No. You're incorrect and have not been following these stories closely enough. The relevant charge is "willful retention." Pence and others, upon finding classified documents in the wrong place, immediately reported them and then invited agencies to go through various locations to look for more. He did not "willfully retain" the documents. Accidentally having classified documentation in the wrong area is not a crime; knowingly keeping it or hiding it or spreading it around is.

Compare: they have RECORDINGS of Trump WAVING THESE DOCUMENTS IN PEOPLE'S FACES GOING "Look at this! This is top secret lmao!" When it was discovered he had hoarded these documents and willingly shared them with people, he TRIED TO RETAIN AND HIDE THEM. There is suspicion that he was SELLING THEM TO FOREIGN AGENTS especially because documents are STILL MISSING, meaning he is at best STILL WILLFULLY RETAINING THEM, and at worst, he GAVE THEM AWAY.

Donald Trump improperly stored in his Florida estate sensitive documents on nuclear capabilities, repeatedly enlisted aides and lawyers to help him hide records demanded by investigators and cavalierly showed off a Pentagon plan of attack and classified map,

Secret. This is secret information. Look, look at this, the indictment quotes him as saying, citing an audio recording. He also said he could have declassified the document but Now I cant, you know, but this is still a secret, according to the indictment.

For instance, prosecutors say, after the Justice Department issued a subpoena for the records in May 2022, Trump asked his own lawyers if he could defy the request and said words to the effect of, I dont want anybody looking through my boxes. Wouldnt it be better if we just told them we dont have anything here? one of his lawyers described him as saying.

As president, I could have declassified them, now I cant, Mr. Trump was recorded saying, according to the person familiar with its contents. He then reiterated something was classified as he and one of the women in the room talked over each other, according to the person familiar with its contents. Isnt that interesting? Its so cool, Mr. Trump said, adding, You probably almost didnt believe me, but now you believe me.

^ He knew they were classified, admitted it on tape, and still did not return them and made attempts to retain/hide them further. We're talking about hundreds of documents, many of which were related to the military/security, that he stuffed in his international party house. Don't be such a fucking tool. Everyone and their mother knows what he was doing/planning to do with these documents.

That kind of money makes me want to go to the dentist/doctor, not buy a plushie or shitty apple product.

You mean We <3 Katamari? The original is a phenomenal game. The port apparently has terrible framerate and draw distance issues.

Better than D3 is a low fucking bar, btw.

Anyway, my computer can't run it so I decided not to bother. Wasted too much of my life on those games because of their addictive loops but I didn't really enjoy playing them all that much (the first one is actually my favorite). With this one's monetization practices, I'm pretty sure I'm not missing out on anything that I could just watch on Youtube.

"Car free cities"

You mean locations whose infrastructure doesn't completely and wholly revolve around people wealthy enough to own a car?

No, that is not discrimination. Likely the opposite.

Sunk cost fallacy. Delete the games, destroy your account if you can, and go get addicted to something else. Solitaire, maybe. If you really want to engage with gacha mechanics without the financial loss, play Xenoblade 2 or some other game with faux gacha mechanics and ween yourself off them.

No, not a huge alcohol fan so I drink it very rarely.

It depends on the context, but at this point... for the most part, yes.
