Nope - shitcoins all funnel to bitcoin during periods of activity like now. But after this bull run is over you might get some boosts.

And it's a serious security risk to say how much crypto you own.

This is what Corrik means when saying Trump never killed anyone. He needs to hate killed soldiers just like Trump, because otherwise the libs will win their argument.

This is what Trumpers will never understand. Every time you defend Trump, you're not just defending a man or a political party. You're directly shitting on real Americans and real American principles. It's not harmless, it's not just an opinion, and it's not something you can walk back a couple years later. You're hurting America. The least you can do is stop.

I live in DC and saw all the trumpers. I'm obv okay with a ton of foreigners coming downtown (def not nearly a million and I doubt the 100k number too). But these idiots cannot drive. They went down my street which is a fairly narrow but not too bad 2 way and totally froze in the middle. Messed up all the roundabouts too. Don't bring your giant SUV into city streets if you don't know how to drive it.

Also there were some groups with the gadsden flag and some with the thin blue line. I wonder if they fought.

A $250 4K TV would either be super small or not very good <_<

It's great, and it's 40"

Obviously it's not the best and there are more expensive 1080p TVs with much better color gamut and contrast and whatever TVphiles are into. But this cheapo TV has the sheer number of pixels to make things look nice, which is really all you need from 4K.

Raytracing and real-time loading are definitely strong enough to carry a new generation. It's weird because those 2 things can and will result in the same kinds of games that you see on the current consoles with little difference. But they are fundamental shifts in rendering and design, which enable features that weren't possible before.

Unreal 5's demo is the best example of that right now imo. Cerny's video is great if you know how computers work. Whether those features are actually used well is a mystery, but that's what a console generation is. At the least, Sony is signaling that their 1st parties will use it well.

I also like how Sony went beyond raytracing and fast SSDs though, to try to make the PS5 have a unique character. The 3D audio that Cerny described has a ton of potential and might be something that we wonder how we lived without. And of course all the new controller features add to that sense of a distinctly new generation (Switch kinda had it but not quite).

4) the libertarians (you can almost consider them a more intense subset of the rich). did you know that obamacare probably would have been repealed in 2017 if not for the libertarians, who thought the repeal wasn't cruel and thorough enough? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Caucus#Rejection_of_American_Health_Care_Act_in_2017

Libertarians want a much better healthcare system than the Republicans or Democrats can provide, so they're okay with leaving Obamacare up for a while until that's achieved. But Democrats would rather (and did in large numbers) vote for Trump than to admit help from libertarians.

Also Trump's "war on the freedom caucus" due to this caused the whole freedom caucus to fall in line with Trump, except Amash who left the party altogether because of it.

It's even funnier when that it meant what it says initially until moderates realized it was god awful and wanted to support their "team", so they slowly tried to find a less extreme position for what it means.

This is really the sad part, and it exemplifies the problem with trying to be anti-establishment under the Democrat umbrella.

Police DO need to be defunded. They are actively making things worse and get an absurd amount of tax dollars. Not just reorganized but defunded. Even moreso with the military.

But it's impossible to have this position now, since it was decided that the palatable version of "defund the police" is to hire a bunch of police psychiatrists. Yes that would be a huge improvement over what we have now, but it's still giving the executive branch disproportionate power and money.

That said, if the actual "defund the police" ends up nowhere and the baby-proofed "defund the police" does end up creating major improvements, then you can't really complain. The marketing people have their job for a reason I guess.

People blew that out of proportion, I was constantly over-leveled without even trying, and no I didn't buy the boost.

The instant you do an assassination and it doesn't instakill the guy, the game was ruined. It's not exaggerated at all.

It's not even like the rest of the game isn't bloated and slow enough. Theres 100+ hours of stuff to do anyways, why ruin assassinations?

So yeah, do you have to grind to assassinate in Valhalla? I know it's gonna be bloated either way, but if it fixed that, I'll def try it.

YouTuber Vaush, a socialist, had so many videos utterly schooling these people from a very left perspective and ultimately converted most of them, so maybe in a long form discussion setting they actually are worth talking to.

Does he do any vids for liberals who still think the govt needs more centralized power after 4 years of Trump?

Selective fact checking is absolutely censorship.

You cannot censor by adding, only removing. That's why social media just labels posts with a warning, and they don't shadow ban the post or the author, even though they easily could.

That side is not HALF, or even a third as obnoxious as the other side is so them being upset is hardly as fun.

Your problem is you are a loud Bernie bro, so all the Trumpers have defriended you, and so you're not seeing them being loud and crazy right now.

It happens to me too, just being libertarian is enough to get "muh free speech" crowd to block you. I only have a handful of Trumpers left. But they are pretty crazy.

Unfortunately, hes not the only one worse than the average, and Republicans are extremely susceptible to these worse people. See: uh, Steven Crowder.

Also duh, there's more than 1 fascist in US politics. So support the ones who are not, especially those who are your opponents.

It's not nuanced to say there's more than 1 Trumper therefore all conservatives should be treated like Trumpers.

The neocons of the George W Bush era didn't have authoritarianism and lies?

If anything this past discussion has just revealed the false dichotomy between the two. Trumpism is just fascism wrapped up in Trump's specific cult of personality. He was still engaging in a bunch of neocon shit behind the curtain. Likewise, neocons can eventually ditch the Trump branding and continue to do authoritarianism shit on their own terms. That's why Lincoln Project is a joke.

Bottom line I agree with this, but it also makes the left's insistence that Trump is an order of magnitude worse a joke. All the rhetoric was about how Trump is not just incrementally worse, but a seriously new threat.

It's increasingly clear that liberals were really just saying that, and they either 1) think anyone right of Biden is a Nazi or 2) don't really think Trump is that bad compared to the average. Sadly I think #2 is more common.

I only played in late vanilla up to end of BC

Classes I leveled from 0 to like 50:
Mage (mostly fire) >>>>>>>>>>>> Rogue (boring, don't even remember) > Paladin (blood elf) >>> Hunter (didn't get past like level 20)

Classes I only played at max level because I would log onto my friend's account to grind PvP cuz he only did PvE:
Warrior (slamlord) >>>>> Shaman (windfury)

Mage has the most fun balance of movement, positional abilities, and big risk/reward cast attacks so I liked it a lot. You could do a lot of optimizations and tricks to beat people who have way better gear than you. I really liked the Warrior too, so much burst DPS, but only because my friend got the best hammer and armor for him already. In general I played PvP way more than PvE, which is why I never actually leveled a character to max.

Oh, come on, he was not at all dragged, 9/11 gave him the excuse to do everything the Bush family and the neocons wanted to do for decades. To say that GWB merely "did not resist" the war machine is outrageous. He took advantage of the situation to do things he otherwise would not have had the political support to accomplish.

That family is just sad af to me. I can't subscribe to these ideas that they are evil masterminds pulling all these strings. They are large gears in the machine and they play their role. They didn't win anything. There's no purpose or intrigue to any of this. It's just an out of control system that no one has the incentive to stop.

Candidate GWB was fantastically anti-war too, it's a big part why he was elected. He even followed it for that first 21ish months. It's almost hard to blame him for getting dragged into wars after 9/11, but with the Patriot Act and his 2nd term, it's clear he didn't resist the war machine at all.

Trump in his first week in office executed Obama's Yemeni raid plan which assassinated 30 civilians including the 8 year old American citizen daughter of Anwar Al-Awlaki. The raid was so bad that it must have been set up by the Obama administration to make Trump look like a joke for following it, but he gladly went for it. Oh also a Navy SEAL died (this is the only part the American media cared about).

4 years later Trump still has anti-war cred. Why?

Alright time to argue against the leftists trying to defend Trump. Remind me why I'm the kooky one again?

Trump is every bit as neocon as the rest. More troops in Iraq and Afghanistan than when he started. Many more trade wars (this one is his specialty). Insane boost to keynesianism. Literally more drone strikes than Obama did in 8 years.

Y'all really should preface all your political discussions with your preference of Trump over neocons btw, would be interesting. I suspect there's a big uncovered disagreement about this among the left.

Anyone who is not trying to eliminate Trumpism from the Republican party, even if that means supporting neocons, has absolutely no moral credibility. I'm a god damn libertarian and I can tell you it's the easiest choice in the world to bring back the neocons. Not the least because you'll have to fight them in the Democrat party anyways, what's a few more in the Republican party? We all share the agency and responsibility to keep Trumpism away. It's not just a job for the other 50% of US.
