Any of these 12 seeking reelection? Or are they all lame ducks?

Oh they’re really upset, very serious finger wagging. We might even get up to “sternly worded letter” levels of anger.

“Almost” only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

MAGA melts down

Fuck off. No they didn’t. I very much doubt that 95% of MAGA even saw this interview, and the remaining 5% made their own conclusions.

Why do we allow Daily Beast here? They are nothing but click-bait of the worst kind.

They have more than a tech demo though, right? I haven’t been following, but isn’t the game technically already playable with people? It’s just full of bugs and missing features.

And tomorrow the sun is definitely gonna rise in the west! Im so super sure of it this time!

I don’t see what’s stupid about eating food from street vendors.

Unless you just completely took the click-bait headline at face value and thought he was talking about literally eating food off the street. And if that’s the case, maybe you should look in a mirror before calling anyone stupid.

Captain Perfect on his way to fight the forces of Good.

Kinks are hereditary.

People have been calling me pessimistic for saying the midterms are the Dems election to lose but just… For fuck sakes have you all not been paying attention for the last decade?! Like seriously, you people trust the Democrats to run good campaigns? Have you not seen how Republicans have been putting their thumb on the scale every possible chance they get? How many times do you have to go up against a stacked deck before you learn the game is rigged?

If a race is less than +5 in favor of the Dem, it’s a loss. If a race is less than +15 in favor of the Dem, it’s a toss up. Lots of people taking it as a given that the Dems will take back the House (some dumbasses are even entertaining the idea that they’ll magically take the Senate, lol), but it’s very much an uphill battle. How the fuck does no one else see this?

Not responding at all would make people accuse him of being a Zionist. Saying “no, we won’t be doing that, are you fucking stupid?” is correct, but would also make people accuse him of being a Zionist. So instead of acting, which he can’t do, he’s “examining” the possibility and “weighing his options”; those options being jack shit.

Only children or the incredibly stupid think there is any reality where this could happen.

Because there is an impending global catastrophe they have determined is unavoidable and unpreventable that they have kept under wraps due to the inevitable collapse of society once people learn of it. This is why there are no long term plans for anything anymore. Because there won’t be a long term.

Bullshit. His base still has over 80% approval rating on him. Fuck off with these headlines. His supporters are not “turning on him” for fucks sakes.

Imagine you have a house with a fuck ton of annoying lights and you live in an HOA neighborhood. All your neighbors and the HOA have complained and threatened fines against you if you do not remove the lights. Literally all the people around you have asked, begged, and straight up demanded that you take down the lights. Buuuuuut… A foreign billionaire has offered you, personally, $200k a year to NOT take down the lights AND will cover any fines the HOA places on you AND hire you private security so that none of your neighbors can complain to you about the lights.

What would you do? Would you make an effort to take down the lights? Why? You’d be losing money and it’s a lot easier to NOT do something than it is to do it. You might even agree that the area would be better without the lights, but again, why would you bother? You have every incentive to not fix the problem, and zero incentive to replace it.

Thats why. Americans may demand healthcare, but that’s worthless. Our government officials no longer respond to, or care about, our demands. They don’t even pretend to anymore.

I just don’t get what the point of DRM software is. I don’t feel like it reduces piracy at all. As soon as one person cracks it, which they always do, the game is out there for people to download. Best case, companies have maybe a week or two between release and the crack. I really don’t believe there are that many people who want a game, would pirate it if they could, but are unable to wait a couple days for the crack and so just cave and buy it. Like, the extra revenue from these unicorns can not justify whatever they are spending to include DRM.

So what exactly is the fear these companies have of not including DRM? Leaving it off doesn’t make piracy more widespread. Again, as soon as one person cracks it, EVERYONE has it. So what difference does it make if one person cracks it vs 1000’s of people cracking it if the end result is that it’s out there for anyone?

People are high from huffing post-election good vibes, and in today’s world, even minor victories seem rare; so I don’t blame anyone for not being aware, but the guy replacing Orban is also a rightwing populist. He (so far) doesn’t appear to be one of Putin’s lapdogs, but he is still very much far right. This wasn’t a rejection of authoritarianism, or rightwing values, it was simply a rejection of Orban himself. I think it’s important to temper expectations here.

It wasn’t a filibuster. No legislation was being held up. He just gave a long speech as a performance piece. People keep trying to say he had the longest filibuster, but it literally wasn’t one.

The French Revolution did not have a good ending.

I find this to be rather short sighted thinking. Yes, the immediate effect was the rise of Napoleon. But to this day, France has some of the most robust workers rights laws and policies. Their people are not afraid of protest and striking. Long term, I think the French Revolution was incredibly good as it made the upper class afraid and serves as a reminder that there are far more of us than there are them.

So what? No really, so what? If crimes are not prosecuted, then they aren’t really crimes, are they? Nothing will come of this, nothing ever does.

Right. These types of articles are such BS as most of the MAGA crowd literally does not give a shit. Completely out of touch leftists keep going “No, that can’t be right. They must certainly be upset with what’s going on. No one can see what’s happening and actually support it!” while missing what’s actually going on in reality.

The truth is, most MAGA followers don’t have the first clue as to what’s happening and vehemently don’t want to know. That’s the part people in leftist spaces don’t get. Most folks on the right aren’t in support of the war or tarriffs, or Epstein, or any of that; they support Republicans and that is the end of the conversation. They don’t talk about that kind of shit. They talk about sports. They talk about their next family vacation. They talk about what new things they’ve bought and how kids today are lazy. That’s as far as it goes. When they are confronted with facts, they wave them away because obviously it’s all just an overreaction and both sides are bad, so who cares? If it was something REALLY bad, then they would have heard about it, right? Anyways, stop trying to make people upset, we’re trying to watch Sports Center.

These people are so fucking clueless and are actively avoiding talking about or hearing anything negative. They have convinced themselves that any and all criticism as just meaningless complaints from angry leftists with TDS.
