  • I basically only use Youtube to watch let’s plays (video games) never dipped my toe into other media site to see how it tries to show that stuff. Then if I need something new to watch I’ll find newer games I may be interested in and search accordingly or watch older videos of people that I enjoyed.

    I’m sure that keeps me in the bubble of entertainment vs political stuff but really I’ve rarely seen that stuff pop up. I’d probably stop all together if I only saw some of the crap I’ve heard of people’s experiences.

    New can be interesting but rather just prefer a good player explaining why they’re playing like they do. Some strategy games (paradox) can be quite complicated to understand the finer points. Makes life better not hearing/watching dumbasses.


  • Thanks for the link, I knew I read it somewhere. Like I think if everyone knew and understood what that meant things could change. Unfortunately these days that’s as likely as me hitting a home run it seems. Not that it’d take much to explain if the media wanted to…we all know why they don’t, anyone that can own big media is a billionaire and loves the outcome.

    How anyone can follow Bannon, a dude who looks like he’s stewing in his own juices, is beyond me. I’d even say half the people following him could overtake him without much issue but for some reason they just want to be a sheep even if they’re ‘alpha’. It’s like if Urkel (showing my age but yes Family Matters show) was an evil genius and hoodwinked others.











  • Agreed, but unfortunately people who do that are well known for flooding the zone, then this gets more people on their side, even if they didn’t have any good points to make. Just a few feels and some less than cricital thinking will win people over.

    Been awhile since I was in school I do hope they’re stil teaching kids how to think on their own these days. Though unsure if I picked that up on my own and has my own opinions to not exclude random people who cause no harm or was actually taught it. Heck if anything it’d have been sesame street abd Mr Rogers teaching me that, those radicals teaching to not be bigoted.

    Mean I also definitely support mental health for all, I know I’ve had to visit a few times myself and think everyone should have the opportunity if needed.

    Used to live near there for awhile, couple hours away unsure if we ever went there, think my town was smaller, wikipedia tells me it is currently a similar size so guess not by much if at all (like a few hundred people different sort of thing)




  • Mean this term is worse but if that was possible it would have happened before the end of the first one I assume, the world watched Trump looking like he was Putin’s dog at … Well whatever conference that was. Assume it was a bad employee review. Now this administration has axed everyone that has so much as a raised eyebrow to their actions and doesn’t want to gargle that baby carrot.

    In the end I don’t think there’s any saving except by the American citizens in some action. Least before it gets much worse on a world stage. Beyond alienating allies and doing his tariff quick attack which seems to be the standard ‘attack other countries that include nato when they don’t say yes’.

    Kind of like an abuser would do huh…and Trump has only been named 38k times in the released Epstein files from pages that aren’t completely blacked out? I’m sure it’s just a coincidence…the sound of your tub draining is the same one American democracy is doing as it’s sucked into his bank account.




  • Talk about feeling old I played almost all the games until 2006, but fewer of the list after and hardly from the 2016 one. Not trying to one up but figured good place to comment.

    It’s been a fun time seeing progression over the years, haven’t stopped playing since my first Gemini (Atari 2600 knockoff that played the same games) system. Going from 2d squares to a proper video representation has been awesome. I always enjoyed the graphic improvements the gameplay has had its ups and downs but the remembered ones did that part right.
