and, same wording as the US is liberating california, from... itself.

Good fucking grief... Have they not watched trumps negotiations and the patterns

1. Trump makes impossible unreasonable demand.
2. Other nation gives half as a compromise
3. Trump takes the half, then attempts to take the rest by force.

Denmark now needs to be ready to get bombed, by fucking planes launched from their own god damn airbases.

Was going to start with thinking that, but then watched the video. I'm hearing far more "My friend runs a land scaping business, and he lost 10 or so, he's going out of business". Then comments on how they don't live in a big city and they don't know how they are going to find people to hire. Finally in the last 15 seconds he tears up and says he got to know them as friends and he hates seeing what it did to them and their families.

So yeah... feels like "I won't make money", "I'll lose my business", and "oh yeah they were good people who I hate to see their lives ruined".

1. Because most internet arguements wind up as bullet points
2. Because we suck at grammar.

Well I can agree with the general concept, we are closer than ever to the brink of a nuke being dropped on US soil. Because the only time anyone has considered a situation important enough to drop a nuke, it was to stop an alliance of facists from wrecking the world.

Who'd have thought encouraging actual government officials to wear masks, not identify themselves and refuse to prove their legitimacy would open the door for criminals to impersonate them easier.

(and that's of course also ignoring the possibility of, what if a few actual ice agents take advantage of their anonymity and use the plausible deniability to commit crimes).

Who's going to be surprised? The leaders who will never be in the same state? Nah it's advantageous for them. The soldiers? Either they are following orders and gritting their teeth as they fire at innocent civilians, or they believe the propoganda that the protestors are a violent threat to the country. Surprise will be if say, on the order a significant portion of the armed forces back the protestors.

The thing that shocked me... I was fully expecting that kind of BS ideas from say Jeffries, Schumer, Newsome etc....

But then looking at it the one I've seen talking about it was... Ro Khanna, which was one I considered in the "overall tollerable" side of the democrats.

Don't stick up for the person, stick up for the policy. It's wrong for the president to order the arrest of politicians who are standing up for their constituents, full stop.

Trump could arrest fucking MTG for saying she regrets voting for the big beautiful bill, and I'll call it wrong for a president to arrest a member of congress over a poltiical disagreement. While still noting she's still an idiot that no one in the right mind should have ever voted for.

I mean fuck that guy as in, his political asperations should be dead with his bullshit "lets find common ground" with nazi's.

But, this situation is far more about what's going on than who it's going on with. In this situation he's doing the right thing, he's pushing back against facism. On it's face trump is testing the limits of the laws, the willingness of the national guard to commit attacks on US citizens and government officials. If trump succesfully arrests newsom and gets away with it. Than you can expect 2 results. Some centrists will cancel any attempts to slow down the martial law to try to spare themselves, and those willing to fight will also be arrested.

I don't know your stances enough to say whether or not you have a single politician you support. But assuming they are not pro load everyone into concentration camps without due process, than you should be concerned.

Setup for the overused joke - I've been using vim since I first started using a computer, I just can't quit.

also worth noting you open vim the first time, you get a huge ass splash screen telling you how to exit

Also have to agree, that 1. Inflation wise, to a degree video games seem almost untouched by inflation. Which IMO is symptomatic of the real problem. The average person's budget for luxury items, is if anything going down. Hence why in spite of inflation resulting in everything else going out. game prices have been steadilly launching in the 50-$60 price range since the NES. Even with massively increasing team sizes etc...

Personally I'd be happy for luxury items to be spiraling upward at a steady rate, while housing/transportation/necesities all lock with wages.

IMO I think that's basically what kills the luxury goods/entertainment industries. Is that AAA games cost way more, take far larger teams than ever before, but at the end of the day, they need to sell them to the same masses, that have if anything less disposable income than they did in the days that AAA games were made by a team of ~10.

So yes in my opinion in short, I don't consider the idea that video games jumping up in price, at a rate that's insanely low compared to inflation. After 25 years, a video game goes up from $50-$80 (and it can be noted that in that time team sizes have multiplied tenfold), meanwhile in 2 years a shitty one bedroom apartment in a small city's rent goes from 600 to 900, while they are cutting the staff etc...

Honestly fine with him just sitting out. Dems funded by billionares... write laws that favor billionares. Dems that accept his money are going to favor the same facism bullshit the republicans do.

Yeah but even now you can go back and play Majora's mask, and it not feel bad.

But as mentioned the real thing is consistancy, as well as the scale of action, pace of the game etc... Zelda games weren't sharp pinpoint control games like say a modern FPS. Gameplay was fairly slow. and yeah second factor is simply games that were 20FPS, were made to be a 100% consistant 20 FPS. A game locked in at 20, will feel way smoother than one that alternates between 60 and 45

Even if it is... would that negate the overall gist that clearly dodge is siphoning up stuff they aren't supposed to have. If they are pulling up sealed crime records they aren't supposed to have, could we even assume one of the dozens of offices they raided with classified information didn't.

Once they start proving they are getting shit they shouldn't have, and were in the room with classified shit they shouldn't have, those dots become hard not to connect.

I mean at best though, it's admitting they had something wasteful and useless for the last several decades and only just now figured that out.

Which is also harder because... that's admitting that dodge is sifting through classified data that they are very far from authorized to have.

Honestly I considered the fallout inevitable from day 1. 2 narcisists with short term alignment of goals. An explosion was very predictable.

Trump is like one of those supervillains with the chairs that go over, lava pits or sharks with fricking laser beams of whatever. After watching him throw his allies under the bus 20 times, you just gotta scratch your head and go "how the hell does he keep finding minions, I understand people who follow out of self interest, their own evil and selfishness, but how many people can you watch have their lives wrecked and think "yeah but that wouldn't happen to me".

fully disagree... they have no clue of jack shit of what they do. Their job is to sign off on what the right wing think tanks wrote up. Sometimes after the fact they are supposed to try and make up an arguement for why their constituants are going to like it if it gets enough public attention.
