Conservative values

I don’t think the dollar values in their accounts have eroded. Or where you meaning something else?

“Leader of the free world” 🤡

Concept2 rowing machines. Even if they break, you can still buy spare parts at reasonable rates even for the very first model, which is decades old and only sold a few copies. Fantastic engineering.

Yeah I know. I had a much longer comment all written out, but after reading it, it was just too depressing and I deleted most of it.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz

He won’t be around for much longer anyway. His chancellorship will effectively end december 16th with a vote of no confidence. The one who will likely succeed him (Friedrich Merz, CDU) will do less then nothing for the environment anyway.

What difference would it even make if they attended this useless greenwashing feel-good event, if that attendence never seems to be followed up by any meaningful action?

Remember not to be black.

Funny, he is still entirely worthless to me, net or otherwise.

Well, a punch in the face is a pretty clear communication, just with a very limited vocabulary.

Another one that I love roasted

Just don’t try that with white asparagus, that really needs to be cooked IMHO.

The 4B movement predominantly sees transgender rights movements as incompatible with feminism

Interesting, that his since been deleted from the Wikipedia article.

not understanding why I’d have to kill everyone around after making this choice (Maman Brigitte for instance)

That actually happened to me, too. Luckily, I didn’t mind too much, but yeah, it was a bit of a surprise.

Love it to pieces. Paid absolutely no attention to it before it was released, and due to some friendly advice from an online mate, waited a few months before picking it up, when most of the really bad bugs were already ironed out.

I love pretty much everything about it:

• The score. The music is just so fantastic.
• The settings. Brilliant. Any RPG that isn’t set in a plain vanilla fantasy world already has a big advantage when it comes to my affection, but this setting is just super cool.
• The representation. Absolutely not in-your-face, yet so much there.
• The world building. I think they paid absolutely absurd attention to details, like “where does everyone’s food come from” and “where does everybody’s garbage go”.
• The story. I like it.
• The characters. They feel relatable and their motivation makes sense, which is not always the case in many games. I find myself caring about (some of) them.
• The quests. I like them.
• The combat. It started out okay, but now, it is so much fun. I absolutely love what they have done with it after 2.0. I love being able to actually throw people at each others. I love the various melee finishers. I love the cyberware. I love using the wrist rocket launcher to blow up attacking cars. I love being able to throw knifes and axes without constly having to craft more. I love all of it.
• The mods. I love what dedicated modders have done to make a good game into a really really great game. There are such fantastic mods for this game, it keeps bogging my mind.

So yeah, love it to pieces, and absolutely one of my all time favorite games.

“they can’t rely on the left to support them”

Worse, they do not want to. That would be bad for their billionaire buddies. The same buddies that funnel untold millions to both parties at the same time, to ensure they get what they want either way.

They will not. They will do what they always do:

• rely on people being pissed off enough after four years of Rep rule to vote for the Dems no matter what
• rely on a few select ‘free’ topics (abortion, LGBTQIA+ rights etc) to show how different they are, when they are mostly exactly the same when it comes to topics that matter to most voters daily (ie topics that affect them personally, like their own economic situation)

I recon the only thing that could actually make them shift to the left is strong opposition from the left, basically a left Ross Perot, if you want. One that collects all the votes of the people who were too disillusioned this time around to actually vote, and then basically says “Shift to the left enough, be a real alternative, and you can have these”. Without someone or a party like that, no, they will not change. They will continue to further the interests of billionaires, just like the Reps.

If only the front would fall off…

Personally, if I was unhappy with your posts, I’d just shrug and then block you. Case closed :)

I had not heard of this book. I just read the interview, both parts, and I must say, I did not think it possible, but I think I love Nana Visitor even more now. I will definitly buy and read her book.

ATI Mach32 EISA. It looked to good on paper, but somehow, it did not make DOS go brrrrrr 😟

But will he make sure you guys keep the lead pipes? They are essential for good health!
