Unsurprising.

Surprisingly, my most played game last year was Powerwash Simulator. The game runs on a potato, yet I'm using an expensive steam deck to play it. Like, a lot.

My other games were:

2. Final Fantasy 14
3. Cyberpunk
4. 7 Days to Die
5. Fallout 4

The fakest man alive turns out to be a fake gamer? I'm shocked! Shocked I say!

Reality has a left wing bias.

Its a joke, but not really. If you base your government on the facts of reality, it tends to be perceived as "left wing."

Why where you there? What was it like? How did you do later in life? And did it have any effect as a adult?

I shouldn't have been in special education, but I was. Home life was a nightmare. My mom and dad would constantly fight and take it out on me.

That meant once I left school for home, there was zero chance of ever getting any homework assignments done. I would get straight A's on tests, yet would get all zeros on homework assignments.

The school wouldn't listen, nor cared about, the abuse going on at home. They were always short staffed and short on budget, so special ed was their bandaid solution.

The special ed teachers ptotested time and time again as I clearly didn't belong there. Sometimes the class would read aloud a book together. We would go in a circle, each reading a paragraph. Everyone else struggled to get through it, I breezed through it.

The teachers wouldn't let me participate anymore as I was unintentionally embarrassing the other students. There was no internet or smartphones at the time. So I spent nearly all of high school, reading any and every book I could get my hands on, silently.

How can there be checks and balances if the executive branch of government can now override the judicial branch?

Short answer: There can't be any checks and balances, and that's the point. The supreme court basically gave Trump cover to do anything and everything he wants so long as he claims it's a part of his official duties.

It doesn't have to he true, he only has to claim it so. We're seeing the end of America.

Run for political office. The Democrats have no intention of fixing anything, let alone making things better.

And if you believe you're not qualified or don't know how to do the job, just remember that both parties are filled with incompetent fools, fakes, conspiracy crackpots, and morons. It would take considerable effort to do worse than some of the people in congress.

We were hearing stuff that some Americans socially divide people by their ethnicity. I just wanted to ask online whether this is true and if there could be any concerns

Unfortunately it is true, but it's not everywhere. Generally speaking, the larger the population of an area, the less likely you'll experience hostility. Coastal cities with large populations are highly unlikely to give you trouble. Rural aeas with lower populations have a higher chance of giving you trouble.

We even heard things like that in some places they divide people by "skin color" and base different cultures on that (we noticed that people from America even speak and behave differently based on whether they identify as "black" or "white") and even have schools for primarily people with dark skin or so.

Yes, segregation was a dark chapter in America's history. Officially, segregation was outlawed, but unofficially it still happens in some areas. Some of the conservative regions are trying to go back to the days of segregation and slavery. They create laws that aren't specifically racist, but still have that effect.

As to different cultures, we have a lot of them. Most of the country speaks English, but we have a lot of different accents that seem like a different language entirely.

I dont know German, but I would draw a parallel to various English accents in the UK. Irish, Scottish, Cockney, Geordie, and so on.

As to the way white and black people talk, I suspect it has more to do with wealth and social class rather than race. Poor white people and poor black people tend to socially isolate from one another, creating distinct accents. But it's not uncommon for intermingling.

I have a coworker who grew up in a poor black neighborhood and he has a "black accent" (for lack of a better term). If your only interaction with him is on the phone, it would be easy to assume he's black.

According to my sister in law, who's not welcome at family gatherings, there's going to be a great reset. Trump needs to be given total unchecked power so he can save us all from... well that part isn't clear.

One minute she blames the "globalists" (she means the Jews but won't overtly admit it), the next minute she blames LGBTQ+ people for... existing... I guess? Then she blames immigrants, black people, China, Democrats, Obama, and on and on.

She views Trump as a savior figure. Not necessarily Jesus, but another savior sent by her god. Her worldview and reasoning for supporting Trump is scattershot and in pieces. She can't form a single coherent thought without spinning off into other unrelated nonsense. The brain rot is real.

To answer your question, I don't think even she really knows why she supports Trump and the Republicans. She certainly can't articulate it to anyone.

Is it though?

Do you think that you would keep your integrity and use your money for the greater good, or that you would be corrupted by your power?

I suppose it's a matter of perspective. Very few people in the world ever see themselves as actually evil. Every villain is the hero in their own story.

But if we recognize basic truths about people's preferences, I think a greater good can be achieved. Everyone wants a place to call home and good food on the table. Everyone wants good health and to have a sense of purpose or meaning to their lives.

This is universal, regardless of race, sex, gender, nationality, language (I can't include religion as some religions demand the oppression & extermination of others).

Just to clarify, the US Democrat party isn't a left wing party, it's a right wing party. It hasn't been left wing since Jimmy Carter. We have two right wing parties in the US which often comes as a shock to people who aren't paying attention.

Also, all of the economic problems you're experiencing are because of capitalism, not communism.

There's only five countries in the world that are externally labeled as "communist," and four of them are in Asia. All five don't classify themselves as communist.

The term is just a fear-triggering word to trick gullible people into blaming the problems of capitalism on an imaginary boogeyman.

I'm so sick of those. Nothing is actually accomplished by publically embarrassing MAGA clowns. They don't have a change of heart, they don't feel guilt or shame, and cable news always twists it to fit whatever narrative they want.

China has historically been quick to ban foreign web services authorities don't approve of.

Apparently the US does too.

Facebook is one of the state-approved social media sites. Zuck bends the knee to Trump.

If this were Reddit, opposing the genocide in Gaza and speaking out against the Biden administration for supporting it would get you reported swiftly.

I would teach Shop (that was still a thing when I was in high school in the 90s). I'm really good at making practical things, and making repairs. I would love to teach the basics like how to change a tire and whatnot.

This is why I hate democrats so much. They do less than the bare minimum, and only things that are easily reversed.

Whatever it is, it always happens with McDonalds beef and no other beef from fast food places.

You're not going to like this, but keeping a consistent and healthy sleep schedule is highly effective. Going to bed at the same time, getting up at the same time, and getting a consistent 8 hours at minimum is key.
