It all boiled down to GA last election. It seems republicans have stepped up their voter suppression there to make sure it doesn't happen again.

If the same states go red trump wins. So what states that went red have a chance to go blue this year?
This isn't true. Even if Trump had won GA, he'd have still lost the race. Hell, even if he won GA and AZ he'd have still lost.

literally everything about this is wrong, even if you want to call it an "expansion pack"


Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles were originally planned as a single game. However, the manufacturing costs of a 34-megabit cartridge[30] with NVRAM would have been prohibitively expensive.[31] Due to the game's scope and Sega of America's commitment to launch a major McDonald's Happy Meal promotion in February 1994,[26][32] the team reluctantly split it in half,[22][14] allowing more time to develop the second part and splitting the cost between two cartridges.

If this happened today people would rightfully point out how short Sonic 3 is compared to Sonic 2, and that Sega knowingly released an unfinished game, to "fix it later" with a planned DLC / expansion. There just wasn't social media to complain on back then.

Horse armor is quaint by today's standards. They'd charge $4.99 for it now and nobody would bat an eye.

I'd argue Sonic & Knuckles. It's not technically DLC, but Sonic 3 is literally unfiinished and you had to buy another full-priced game to get the rest.

This time it will because anyone in the Republican party with a shred of honor has been driven out. All the sane people in the room won't be there next time. Trump loyalists are in place in key positions across the country. SCOTUS is even further off the deep end.

Kind of fucked up to only tip someone $7 when they barely make enough as is. A lot of wait staff are simply trying to pay their way through college. A few dollars wont come close to helping them. If you arent going to tip $20+ then go eat at McDonalds.
I don't dine at a restaurant to "help" the staff.

It would be irresponsible of Jon to not talk about what everyone sees in my opinion.
That's how he's always been and it's weird that people act surprised that he has no qualms questioning Democrats at times.
We can only hope he'll be allowed to have a show once Republicans retake power. Maybe Trump will be too busy deporting millions of brown people to notice.

I missed last week--what did he say about Biden that pissed everyone off?
His argument was that both Biden and Trump suck and are too old. Maybe they are. So what's the problem?

A lot of younger people and left-leaning people listen to Stewart. His voice carries weight. This talk coming from him could lead to voter apathy, low turnout, write-in campaigns or 3rd party support. All will inevitably help elect the candidate who might literally end democracy in our country.

Again, old way of thinking. A decade from now we won't distinguish new games by generation. We won't say "that's a PS6 game" or "that's a PS7 game." It'll just be a Playstation game, for Playststion consoles (plural). Games with steeper requirements may only run on newer consoles, and as time goes on fewer games will support older Playstations. This is how PC / Mobile gaming works now.

"PS5 has no games / just a bunch of PS4 games."

People need to adjust their thinking when it comes to consoles. It's not like the old days when a new console meant new experiences you could only get if you bought it. A new console now is just a hardware refresh. More power. The PS5 is just a PS4 with higher specs. Xbox Series are just more powerful Xbox Ones.

I'm sure most early PS6 / NextBox games will run just fine on PS5 / Series X. You might wonder "well then why even buy one?" but again, you're thinking like the old days. New consoles aren't about new experiences. They are about higher resolutions and better framerates. Shinier graphics. Playing new games at their best.

In this respect, console gaming is more similar to PC gaming than ever. We don't label a PC game with a generation. It'd just a PC game. How well it runs will depend on your hardware.

Again, Imessage works via SMS, which is traditional texting. Google is trying to kill SMS in favor of RCS, which REQUIRES a Google server to function.
No... imessage is not SMS. Its it's own thing like Snapchat or WhatsApp. Apple just integrates it into the default messaging app. That's why we have green bubbles vs blue bubbles.

Apple vs. Android is pretty much a thing only perpetuated by the Android side, and it's caused almost entirely by Google purposely trying to change how texting works entirely just to try to bank a monopoly off of it. There was literally no reason to change how your common texting works, since if you want anything more, plenty of apps already exist. Google be greedy, though. Apple are the ones who want to stick with traditional texting, and leave anything fancier to apps. Google/Android are the ones that are trying to do away with traditional texting completely, in favor of Google server sided apps.
Ummm... imessage has been around for like 12 years. It literally changed the way standard texting works.
