The image that is painted of other people is even worse, so for them supporting Republicans is somehow the lesser evil. Even though this is just one topic where they’re sad and shameful.

Also… not sure I believe this poll is super accurate in phrasing.

Agreed, just that their plan is so robust and so specific something like “make porn illegal” doesn’t translate well to “make porn super legal”.

That said, the more I think about specific examples the more it’s they want to move further in a shitty direction, and moving about that far in the opposite direction sounds about right.

Edit: and I do like your point that they already put in the effort identifying everything that should be changed :D

Yeah, abjectly hate conversation view.

Yes.

More seriously, although they’re wrong on every point, the obvious inverse isn’t always a clear gameplan for improvement.

Looks like Peeve could use a knit cat cap…

Steel might be difficult to digest, but it is very caloric dense.

That’s the opposite of the fund raising numbers though?

Doesn’t look like it’s driving him crazy. He just lies about it, half of his supporters believe him, and the other half believe “in spirit”. Seems pretty normal.

Love the expression of the guy on the left. Probably describes everything you need to know about the encounter.

Web search used to be about scraping the web to find and present other people’s work as just that… their work. Now the handful of websites claim ownership of the contributions of everyone, and at this point it’s just corporations arguing about who owns your stuff. Pirates will not win out in this argument, except maybe in the very short term.

As you said there are people who don’t want to switch from Chrome and Google, but at this point if you’re talking about a ten step fix-it plan, is really does make more sense to just use Firefox and DDG. Or searx, I’m pretty sure that’s still fewer steps.

He doesn’t know who his opponent is, but he hates them.

Both are great games, with 1 being a little rough around the edges but still very playable. The gameplay is different enough that it’s worth playing them both imo. Story might be better if you play 1 first, but I played through 2 first, then went back later to play 1 and was pleasantly surprised how good it was.

I probably vehemently disagree with some recommendations to play BG 1 and 2 btw, your mileage may vary. It requires very specific builds and knowledge of DnD, or lots of trial and error. You can easily build a well rounded group and find yourself unable to progress because of lacking one very specific thing. If that doesn’t sound to annoying, it might be worth a shot. If nothing else, rolling characters is fun.

I didn’t see these in the list:

Wyldermyth - indie fairly unique story building campaign with turn based tactical combat.

Wastelands 3 - post apocalyptic RPG with good story, choices, and characters. Great tactical turn based combat. Other than the other Larian games this is closest to filling the BG 3 shaped hole.

Halo Master Chief Collection; 1 - 3, Reach, and ODST are amazing co-op. We’ve played through all of them multiple times. 4 is… disappointing.

I’ve read that human skin particles make up a significant portion of household dust.

… Are you a robot?

It’s always the top 10 once enough people chime in, because any can work and it’s easy enough to install or select what you need on most of them. (I’d probably recommend mint).

But… hardware is probably more important. Cutting edge GPU might not have good drivers yet. AMD is probably going to be much better supported. Networking you’re probably good now, but getting more popular stuff means it’s more likely to already have had the kinks worked through years ago. If you play popular multiplayer shooters with shitass anti cheat malware it probably won’t work.

This comment chain has illustrated how effective control over corporate media is. All I knew before was that he spoke at the RNC, and assumed the worst, which I’m sure was the intention. The content of his speech is definitely not widely distributed.

Religious/conservative nationalism is a powerful force for self flagellation through idiotic politics.

Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth

It’s ridiculous how effective “Republicans = economy” propaganda has been.
