What exactly is your plan for the future, if you really believe it's too late now? Just let the fascists take over and hope they don't come for you?

I feel like, if the USSR is to blame for modern Russia, then Tsarist Russia shares some of the blame as well

There are way more evangelicals supporting Israel than there are Israeli-Americans, so I'd say mainly evangelicals. And that difference only gets bigger if you start including other conservative Christian groups.

I was surprised to see "formerly DuPont" on the gofundme. Turns out International Flavors & Fragrances merged with DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences back in 2021. Go figure.

Came here to mention Loria as well. I like to call it "Warcraft 2.5"

Beehaw definitely reminds me of the couple of vBulletin forums I used to post on back in the day. Smaller scale, mild pace, and I start to recognize people after sticking around a while. Much more of a community feel. I really missed that.

I can't believe they would expel the only Navy SEAL to ever walk on the moon and win the World Cup twice! This is an outrage!

Every time I see this type of discussion, my false flag senses start tingling. I have no idea if I'm right about that, but seeing a Dem attack anyone to the left of them that rabidly, and refuse to respond to reasonable questions or statements, always gives me an uncanny impression that I'm seeing a conservative in disguise.

Personally I hadn't heard the red-to-black story debunked at all until reading this thread, so I appreciate the thorough clarification.

You're not kidding!

Musical chairs, Nazi shit edition

I'm also still incredibly salty about this. The Quake 1 and 2 remasters also are a huge contrast to how the Unreal franchise has been handled.

I recently got my gog copy of UT2004 running on my Steam Deck. It was a huge pain in the ass that I could have circumvented by buying a Steam copy... but of course that's no longer an option. I guess Epic doesn't want easy money from their old games.

The problem is "for the moment to preserve American democracy and freedom" winds up being every election, unless a genuine leftward push is made at some point down the line.

If that leftward push never happens, every election is a choice between temporarily halting fascism, and allowing fascism to metastasize.

Valve has already started talking to press outlets about their plans for a Steam Deck 2 in two to three years.

We can expect the anti-choice crowd to ramp this rhetoric up in the coming months and years. Lots of them already like to crow about how we're a "republic not a democracy" (while having no understanding of what those terms actually involve, or the history behind them).

Once they realize how outnumbered they are they will absolutely abandon consent of the governed as a principle of legitimate government.

Fun fact if you're not aware: many American police recieved training from Israeli police and military.

"Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain"

Eye-rollingly uncreative lyric choices. Rhyming pairs like "fire/pyre" "higher/desire" "fly/sky" - or tacking filler words like "yeah" or "tonight" to the end of a line.

That's just a few examples off the top of my head, but there are tons of lyrical cliches I've heard that make me grind my teeth when I hear them.

I've heard of people struggling with it, but personally I got used to it very quickly.

I haven't played Splatoon but I've heard it doesn't use standard shooter controls, so it may not be the best example of the gyro aim I'm taking about.

If you haven't yet, you might try grabbing Quake 1 or 2 on the Switch (they're on sale right now!) and give that a shot with gyro on.
