Isn't he up for election this year. It's not nessecarily a smart move, but I respect him for it.

He has a tiny chance of getting reelected as it is. His best chance is to keep the coalition that voted for him happy while hoping for a depressed GOP turnout. And I think most polling is showing Moore will get shellacked in the GOP primary, so he's not going to have as disgusting of an opponent as he had in all likelihood, even if he lands Sessions as his opponent.

And sticking with his fellow Democrats opens the door for him for future gigs with the party as well, especially with a future administration. A Southern Dem in a cabinet position is a pretty attractive option for most Democratic presidencies, especially if he creates a narrative that he fell on the sword electorally to do the right thing.

Cheating to win is not the same as challenging the structural integrity of the sport by gambling on games that you play in and manage. Rose broke the cardinal rule of professional baseball that was established in the infancy of the game and which has a warning against doing so in every club house. He knew what the punishment would be if caught, and given that he's such a huge fish he has to be held to that standard. If it applies to an otherwise surefire Hall of Famer, you bet your ass it applies to a random journeyman or a career minor leaguer.

And furthermore, he only claims that he never bet against his teams. He also spent a couple decades saying that he never actually bet on baseball, so he's a proven liar and I'm not taking his word at it. Not to mention that his gambling on some games definitely played a role in his roster and gameday decisions, as in taking players out earlier in games he didn't bet on to keep them healthy for game he did bet on and vice versa.

tl;dnr: fuck Pete Rose

You just admitted that the game could use a remake by that statement.

And even disregarding that, you wouldn't want to see the RE4 world remade with the fidelity of the remake engine?

Yeah. I don't get how anyone could remotely say that there isn't room for improvement to RE4 when the base game has had rereleases that have already improved on it from one system to another from its original console generation.

Even if they literally only tighten up the graphics (on level three), make a few quality of life tweaks, and slightly refine the controls, that's a couple million unit sales there alone.

I'm fully expecting a complete RE4 remake within the next two or three years. The only doubt in my mind is if they do Code Veronica first or if they skip it and focus on just the numbered titles in order.

TopicBiden: The good news is Senate Republicans will be normal again if I win
K181
02/03/20 12:03:38 PM
#27
The thing about Biden is that it's hard to know what he really is bringing to the table.

Is he an Obama-era and earlier throwback attempting to create a message of normalcy and sanity or is he just an old fogey that's completely out of touch?

I honestly find it near impossible that a guy that was front and center to eight years of obstructionism by the modern national GOP could be so clueless as to expect a mere single electoral victory by the Dems would snap the Republicans out of it, and personally think that his entire narrative is trying to appeal to the middle by making it sound like relatively functional government is still possible. After all, his appeal has essentially been that he's a mostly known quantity and isn't proposing anything too radical. The dude was a ridiculously accomplished Senator and a foreign policy specialist despite the gaffes that always get brought up, so it's not like he was a dullard to begin with.

But his continued toeing the line on bipartisan talk and how the GOP will moderate post-Trump makes me question that benefit of the doubt that I've given him. I'm a Republican sick to death of the national Republican Party, and I have zero expectations the party will return to even the Gingrich era of handling things for the foreseeable future.

Brits lose free movement across the continent and will now not be able to move to EU member states anywhere nearly as easily as they could previously, Britain will have to renegotiate trade agreements with the EU and will definitely not have the same favorable terms that they had as a member state, and they will likely still be beholden to certain EU standards as matter of it being their largest trading partner while now having zero say on said standards. Net result, the British economy will shrink and the travel abilities of their citizens will become significantly more restricted. Oh, and the Northern Irish border issue has yet to be settled, and Scotland will probably hold a new independence referendum.
