The silver lining for me is enjoyment watching the Critical Drinker eviscerate that content in his reviews.

They leave in silence and don't make a fuss.

The people who do make a fuss tend to make themselves look like clowns anyway because of either the overdramatic acting or the low IQ room not understanding them.

I quiet quit out of a chat group in my area during the lockdowns because I got tired of all the woke children in adult bodies having daily breakdowns and tantrums. I learned a few years later from someone who was still there that a few months after I left, it reached peak crazy and splintered into as many as five groups which never fully reintegrated. And of course each group was run by people determined to make it their personal echo chamber.

Apogee/3D Realms always has a special place in my heart for the Duke Nukem IP. Loved the 2D and first 3D games.

I think the second 2D game started with Duke Nukem being on Oprah Winfrey pitching his book "Why I'm so great" lol!

Girlfriend: "Why won't my boyfriend share his deepest feelings with me?"

Also girlfriend: "My boyfriend is so cringey when he shares his deepest feelings with me. Why can't I find a stoic man?"

If it fails, they're going to try again in 2 more years or less. People are only getting more upset with things, and the divide between them and their government can only get so wide before enough officials believe that legislation is necessary.

The MSM probably: "71% of Americans are racist bigoted homophobes. We need to do better!"

I am Lothar of the Hill People! Much have I seen and much have I done!

Mine doesn't qualify either but I never get nagged about it. I do expect to be nagged when Window 10's end-of-support happens next year, though. It may as well be off support now because every Win10 machine I have isn't fully up to date because Microsoft royally screwed up one of their updates. I'm sure as hell not jumping through any hoops to manually install it.

If you really want to hurt them below the belt, take away their security clearance. Then the swamp will cast them away like lepers. Of course denying their pensions would be the icing on the cake....though many of them probably qualify for treason charges.

Would be nice if at least some of them change their mind about voting in November because they don't think Biden is on their side anymore. He'll still probably "win" but at least it will make the election riggers have to work harder and raise a few more eyebrows when 400% of the population of some counties voted for Biden.

I still relish the story about a bar that lesbians frequented where men were not welcome. At some point, transsexuals began showing up and hitting on the lesbians. The lesbians were pissed that their "space was invaded" but none of them did anything to stop it. They didn't want to be seen as intolerant, and they knew the shitstorm that would come down on them if they tried.

Obama working with the MSM was I think one of the most successful propaganda campaigns in history. The media always painted him in a positive light except when they were throwing the political right the occasional bone to look "objective," pop culture wouldn't treat him like a politician, comedians wouldn't dare make fun of him; and anyone who didn't tow the line was accused of racism.

I know a number of people who were exceptionally talented at their technical jobs, yet believed everything they read in the NYT and heard on NPR. They think that he made zero mistakes and navigated the country through a time of historic prosperity...and that the only reason things weren't better was that evil Republican in the corner of the room trying to cause trouble because they were butthurt about being in the minority.

A stunning 51% of Americans now support mass deportation of undocumented immigrants.

What's stunning to me is that the number is below 95%. I guess everyone else is okay with ignoring existing laws even if it means destroying the country.

They must have worked on Smart TVs because they're practically unusable. No clear feedback on where the cursor is? Check. Banners that are also buttons? Check. Going to the global Settings menu to log out of an app instead of doing it from the app? Check. Reacting to a remote control press several seconds later? Check. The power button not actually turning off the TV but putting it in a sleep mode so that later it wakes up with even worse performance and other issues? Check.

Not to mention there are people out there who get that knocking on their door and think they deserved it.

I won't forget the story of the entrepreneur who posted pro-BLM stuff on his store windows because he supported them. Then BLM burned it down during a riot. Then the owner reacted by claiming he just didn't support them hard enough and that he would do better.

I intend to be good on supplies before Election Day this year. I have no proof of any kind of imminent chaos, but I'll sleep a little more soundly.

Republicans are probably divided because some are more successful at towing the uniparty line while keeping their jobs than others.

At least Dems are honest about their intentions, which is why I think the hammer should fall harder on those Republicans.

I watched a montage of spectators interfering with competitors in races in several countries on YouTube once. Imagine training for the Tour De France for years, having a remote yet actual chance of winning...and then all your hopes and dreams being destroyed in a single moment because some asshole spectator got in your way and knocked you down.

Every month is filled with woke holidays; you just wouldn't know it unless you were into that sort of thing. We only know about the ones that were forced into the mainstream.

More like a counterfeit Christian conference...or a feel-good hot-tub Christianity conference. Or a meetup of the synagogue of Satan.

I know some left wingers who still say that seriously. Every once in a blue moon something positive will come up in a conversation that reminds them of a bill that got signed into law during Obama's administration. Then they just have to say it, usually following some mental gymnastics.

Still not as annoying as people comparing the GWB administration with Idiocracy, though. It was funny the first time, but every single time someone mentioned the movie itself, someone always fucking had to say "oh the movie about George Bush!"

You bring up an underrated point. A lot of people think the first day of WWIII is going to be when a nuke goes off or tens of thousands of troops engage in hundreds of skirmishes over dozens of countries all at once. The reality is the first day could be a small battle followed by weeks or even months of calm before things really ramp up.

I remember a friend complaining about the crappy internet in his area. I asked him why he didn't switch to another provider, and he told me that Comcast was the only game in town because regulations prevented other providers from offering their services.

So it always warms my heart when I see an offbeat story about someone figuring out a way around that and also hooking their friends up.

Why bother with race riots when Dominion will carry them over the finish line again?

After Rush Limbaugh moved his show from New York to Florida, New York audited him every year until he died to make him prove he's no longer running business operations in New York. He wasn't doing it, and they had no evidence of any kind that he was doing it; yet the onus was on Rush to prove he wasn't doing it.

Life lesson: If you live in a blue state and you're highly effective at speaking truth to power, expect consequences...and if you live in D.C., expect serious consequences.
