I remember Joe Biden being good in the last debates with obama but to be fair he was going against Palin for the first term

Hes lost a step or two since then, but his debate performance against Palin was outstanding... and not just because Palin was an underprepared patsy. Everyone was ready to jump on Biden for going to easy on Palin because shes a woman, or too hard on Palin because shes a woman. But instead of gaffing it up, Biden walked the tightrope expertly and had a big moment when he talked about fatherhood.

It's really, really hard to state my feelings about Trump in a nonmoddable fashion

When the president is engaged in illegal activities and fashions himself above the law, there are only so many places the conversation can go before it runs afoul of the ToS.

All I can say is: vote. And hope that this extralegal problem isn't met with an extralegal solution.

If schools reopen in the fall then were fucked

I can't imagine any superintendent would want to risk it. One teacher dies of covid and their career dies with them. Pressure from the parents could cause school board members to crack though.

I think we needed a massive federal investment in schools a few months ago, to retrofit them to at least be able to park kids for the fall, but it's way too late now.

Whatever chance we had of mitigating the damage was squandered over the last 6 months. I think our options at this point are a million dead, or another Great Depression... and 30% of the country has already made the decision for us.

The first one pays homage to Banjo Kazooie and doesn't really live up to it. I got some good nostalgia hits from it, but parts of it are pretty clunky, like they tried to torture the game engine into working for the game.

The second one pays homage to DKC and is a legitimately great game. I think it's a step below Tropical Freeze in terms of level design, but the music is on par and the overworld is the best I've seen for a 2D platformer in decades.

This book, Romney, all the Bush Administration members coming out against Trump are all part of a marketing effort to preserve the Republican Party by distancing themselves from Trump.

It doesn't seem that coordinated to me. Romney has been consistently critical and outspoken about Trump. Bush has been consistent too, although much less outspoken. Bolton, on the other hand, is just the latest rat to flee the sinking ship. There are plenty more like him, who enabled Trump and tried to cash in on the way out. The rest of the GOP leadership has shown little to no effort to distance themselves from Trump; if anything, they've distanced themselves from Romney by dis-inviting him from Republican events.

There may be plenty of Conservatives who want their party back but among current elected officials, Romney and Amash are the only two who fit that description. I don't think anyone who voted against impeachment can be rehabilitated.

Add it to the pile. I'll never vote for Trump or any of his enablers, or any of his enablers' enablers. And honestly, unless or until the GOP completely purges itself and reforms, it's hard for me to imagine voting for anyone with an R next to their name again.

I get what you're saying and I don't disagree, although I don't think "abolish the police" would be too crazy a slogan if people did start using it genuinely. I mean, "abolish ICE" is a thing. While these services are vital and must be performed by someone, the current institutions are rotten to the core and may need to be completely flushed and rebuilt in some cases.

Camden, NJ abolished the police in 2013 (firing every single officer) and then successfully built a new police force, hiring back many of the same people while rewriting the culture. This may be the only realistic solution for some regions if police unions refuse to reform.

Sloganeering is hard. Defund the police probably was the thing that caught on because it feels good to say it. And really, the one thing that cities actually have control over is how much they fund their police, whether theyre city-run or contracted with a county sheriff. Its a slogan that requires an explanation... But its also a slogan that spread quickly in part because you feel powerful when you say it.

I laughed at Romney when he said Russia was our biggest geopolitical threat. I regret that. I also thought his "binders full of women" quote was way out of touch, but in retrospect I overreacted; it was actually a progressive thing he was doing, just worded awkwardly.

Romney is the only current elected Republican I would consider voting for, if he left the party.

I genuinely don't understand why returning to another region never happened again considering how popular it seemed to be.

Aside from remakes (likely the primary reason), theres also the issue of visual style. Gens 1 and 2 were graphically very similar. Later gens dont mesh so easily, with character model proportions and other things which could take a lot of effort to conform.

Movement still feels so good in Mario 64. The camera has some moments of jankery, but it holds up better than any other game from that era, no contest. Games that came out a decade later still struggled to implement a 3D camera system as well as Mario 64 did. The graphics are very simple and plain, but thats a plus; while almost all early 3D games aged horribly, Mario 64 is still tolerable because it didnt try to overreach with its texture work.

They wanted to get the money out quickly for round one. Now that the economy is more or less open, I should expect them to take their time and come out with a plan that's actually good.

The economy being open (i.e. the gradual lifting of some restrictions) doesnt instantaneously save all the households and businesses that are in dire financial straits. Call it open if you want, but people arent rushing out to spend money, restaurants are operating at 50% capacity at best, and unemployment is well into the double-digits. Until the economy stops contracting and unemployment falls, people need the money.

The plan from the start should have been a check every 2 weeks for a few months.

This, but instead of an expiration date, tie it to objective economic measures (like the unemployment and labor force participation rates). It should have been set in motion and then kept away from Congress, which is bound to fuck it up with political games every time a vote is required.

What purpose did it serve, then?

The sensor bar isnt really about motion thats handled by gyroscopic sensors. The sensor bar provides LED reference points which allow a Wiimote to track its position and angle relative to the TV (using the sensor bar as a proxy). The Wiimote interprets this information through its IR sensor and then communicates all position / motion / user input to the console via Bluetooth. To illustrate: the sensor bar is what allows the Wiimote to function like a lightgun (or at least provide a convincing illusion; the technology is completely different).
