I can envision some sort of collective action where a significant portion of the electorate under one organization says something like "we will not vote for you unless your policies become more progressive".

Obviously this requires concentrated, organized effort and not just random individuals refusing to vote.
This is the idea, yes. Unfortunately the president is the position most immune to this strategy. It works well for anyone your state specifically is voting on though, because it's substantially easier to organize within one state than across the entire US.

The main thing y'all are missing, as usual, is the incredible value of non-voting.
There is zero power in not voting. There is sometimes power in strategically voting against your own party but that doesn't work either in this specific scenario where your candidates are Harris and Trump and your single issue is Palestine.

One is I want Trump to win and Im contributing to that goal, the other is nobody earned my vote.
The latter is more like "I kinda want Trump to win and I'm contributing to that goal" in the scenario where the person is saying "I'm not voting and if Harris loses she deserves it". This is specifically because they're advocating this position out loud (or in text, whatever). If they're not saying anything and just not voting then it's more like "I'm fine with both candidates. Whoever the electoral college decides should be president is A-OK with me :)"

It's not exactly any of the genres listed (arguably suspense I guess), but Umurangi Generation does tons of graffiti and it's hard for me to imagine the game without it. It can be done poorly but that game nailed it IMO.

Elysium is definitely a big difficulty jump for most people. The good news is that once you can get through it you'll be pretty well prepared for the rest of the game.

I need to get started on Alice early since I plan to play the first game beforehand. Didn't realize it was included free with Madness Returns.
Quoting myself because it seems like maybe it's only included in the Xbox version?? The option is straight up not there on Steam. My bad if I misled anyone here.

I did the first 9 levels of OG Alice and uhhh it's okay, I'm truly not sure if I'm going to stick with it or just skip to the sequel though. It's very clunky and while I respect the art direction, it's just an ugly, ugly game.

i think i need your help (itch.io)

Diversity win! This eldritch forest spirit supports the gays.

Songbird Symphony (Steam)

It was definitely a choice to make a video game musical with no vocals during the songs. Some might even say it was the wrong choice.

Arkista's Ring (NES)

This game Fire Emblem Fates
making you say "wow i hate these fucking ninjas"

Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (NES)

Honestly this game rules. It would have been completely impenetrable to me as a kid but as an adult (and knowing some things about the game already, like that NPCs lie and that you need to crouch in certain places) it wasn't too bad. It helps that the game is very generous with the way lives/continues work. I dig the desaturated palette and the lore/setting too. Kinda feels like a game ahead of its time!

I welcome the outcry on Gaza but I keep asking where the energy was for Palestine for the past, you know, 70-ish years. Or at least in the past couple elections, because obviously most of the outcry is coming from people born in the late 80s through the 00s.

Right, it's obvious 2 extremes on a single linear scale is not going to capture the full nuance of reality. But you can still answer the survey.
Sure, but I could also just say "I'm on the left" and it would be faster. Also I don't think most of the liberal answers are very extreme at all. Many of them are moderate, even right-wing, beliefs.

As much of a beer snob as I am you don't actually want to pick an truly good beer that no one has heard of for this bit. This is lowest common denominator stuff. At least she's not trying to convince me PBR is good.

I would have compromised though and gone with Sam Adams.
Sam Adams would have been a great choice! I'd accept PBR too. In fact basically any beer, including all the cheap/shit ones, would have been a step up from Miller High Life. Picking Miller High Life is like being asked your favorite apple and saying "actually, can I just have a sand-filled condom instead?"

Anecdotally, the millennials I know best in real life are almost completely checked out of politics. Like they might not support [bad thing] but they're sure not going to bother voting (much less organizing or demonstrating) to prevent it. So I'm inclined to share foolmo's disappointment with my generation, but we'll also see what happens in another 5-10 years. Maybe we pull it back. I've got a lot more hope for gen Z though.

The bad guys won in WWII. There were no good guys in that war. The controlling interests had a jump ball.
Not horrible so far. Revisionist, maybe, but "America bad" isn't such a wild proposition.

If you posted about 100,000 new covid deaths but called it the WuFlu people would also respond to the terminology used. This doesn't mean that they suddenly love infectious disease and the deaths caused by it.

ChaosTonyV4 posted...
I don't think most people use WW3 specifically because it's scarier, actually. I think most use it casually because to describe unnamed wars involving multiple parties. When you assume another country is going to get involved, and that their allies might get involved "World War", it's not so nefarious as you imply.
If that's the case then we're on like World War 752 and I'm probably way undershooting it

I mean people say whatever conflict "is going to start World War 3" for a reason, and it's because World War 3 sounds scarier than calling something "the Lebanon War" or foolmo's "Hummus War" or whatever. If you're going for that emotional play on people's fears then you should probably expect pushback from people who recognize the play for what it is.

Literally nobody is calling this situation a good thing or saying war isn't awful.
