The goal isn't always to win the war, but at the very least have a shot at protecting your family and your home.
If you have to weather out a long dystopia, it's better to have some tools and resources. And it's better to weather it out than to lay down and surrender entirely.
He's been falling for a lot of bait and going overboard on points that he's not likely to gain favorable votes on anyway.
Like on Roe vs Wade. He'd be better off just keeping it short and to the point, since it's a topic where people are already firmly embedded in a camp. And pro lifer voters don't have as much enthusiasm as they once did imo.
The Democrats have pulled out all the stops on this one. The moderators are delivering obviously prepared, leading "gotcha" questions for Trump, basically doing half of Harris' work for her. While giving her favorably worded questions. It almost comes off like a principal-student-parent conference, with both sides treating Trump like a trouble-making child.
I know her prep team had some former Obama staffers, which is telling, (and unfortunately still effective as far as optics go).
Sort of a side-note, but I half wonder if the Democrats might've used AI text-gen trained on both candidates to plan out some of their strategy and talking points.
I think the bigger issue with the prequels was that George Lucas cannot write decent dialogue if his life depended on it. Almost every single one of Anakin's lines, especially in episode 2 and 3, are just comically bad.
Very much true. And their level of awareness, on who's who and where's where is very lacking.
So they only go for the "biggest fish" they can think of, while failing to realize that those so-called bigger fish barely make up even a tiny tiny portion (if that) of what's influencing audiences to reject their shitty products.
I've heard mixed opinions on the quality and accuracy of many of its translations. Which makes sense given how controversial it is.
You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who wouldn't apply at least a little bias into such a task, from one extreme or another.
Aye, those are some fair points. And you're right. If someone likes something, a lot, they're rarely going to get completely burned out on it. Or at least not enough to abandon it completely, generally.
And while I thought I'd been arguing in good faith, I admit I may not have been aware of my own clouded bias. Just because I don't really dig a lot of those earlier Western films doesn't mean that a lot of other people with perfectly good taste couldn't.
I do think that there can be at least some degree of genre fatigue though, but it's probably something that has to be especially over-saturated to cause any kind of significant audience "burnout". Usually, the average person just naturally addresses such things by changing things up with their own variety in what kind of media they partake in.
Not so easy of course when leftists have done everything they can to turn things to shit.
Indeed... And leftists have essentially become synonymous with whatever's "trending" on Twitter or Tiktok. Or rather, they have been for at least 10 years now. And it's only going to get increasingly retarded and annoying.
Reality shows are... not exactly a good example, since they're more ingrained with a particular format or structure than a strict setting. As for why they're still so rampant, a lot of that can be attributed to low production costs and a particularly effective appeal to women.
They've essentially overtaken what used to be reserved for sitcoms and gameshows. Low cost and minimal effort to make, minimal conflict, low effort on plot (generally), sometimes episodic in nature (due to minimal plot), etc. A fair bit more braindead than some of the better sitcoms in the past though.
I think it depends a lot on how much variety you can actually get out of a particular genre or setting. More-so when it comes to film and TV shows. When it comes to games you have a much wider range of options available since you're not just offering a linear story, but gameplay, combat, interaction, etc.
I do agree though, the complete absence is a little bit curious. Especially when it comes to games. Might be too much of a hard sell for publishers and developers to take their chances on.
Eh, I dunno. Might just be me. I found a lot of them extremely repetitive. More-so before the 70's. Jeremiah Johnson is one I rather liked though. And Wyatt Earp, starring Kevin Costner.
Sometimes people like a little bit of extra spice to their entertainment every now and then. Leftists push the envelope to the extreme though.
I don't have a lot I can offer unfortunately. Because like I said, they're exceedingly uncommon, and not a lot are really something I can strongly recommend. And I'm sure you've already heard of the ones I can name. IE, The Patriot, Last of the Mohicans, and... that's all I can remember off the top of my head.
There was also a little bit of a semi-dramatized documentary on Daniel Boone from the History channel that was kind of interesting. I unfortunately don't know the name, it was part of a series covering him, Davy Crocket, and Louis and Clark.
Edit: Think I found it. Not sure why the video is so dim/dark though, especially since it's on the History channel's own YT channel.
Aye. That's one tricky thing with these kinds of products. Quite often you might find something that just works for you. And then that product either gets discontinued or redone in such a way that it's totally unusable or insanely expensive.
Which is even more annoying given how often market trends slide towards insane and often flawed or inferior designs. Like gaming chairs and, at least imo, keyboards without a numpad.
Indeed. Not exactly my most ideal solution, but I just go for Logitech's "Pro Gaming Mouse", which works for me. Usually lasts 2-3 years at least and only costs me 50-60 bucks each time.
If you want more buttons or features though while having longevity you'll have to probably put a little more research and effort into narrowing your options down.
Well that, and the genre was done to absolute death for decades. That's not to say that the various resurgences weren't pretty damn cool, like spaghetti westerns and some of the more modern ones from the 80's-90's.
But there's only so much variety and creativity you can ultimately carve out of such a genre. And many modern attempts have been remarkably retarded with their leftist-influenced takes.
Conversely, I wish there was a greater volume of quality films that take place closer to the colonial era, and the early U.S. I've seen at least a few over the years, but it's still remarkably sparse. Especially anytime past the 40's-60's.
Indeed. There was virtually no way the Conquistadors could've pulled off their campaign without at least a fair bit of manpower and additional combatants to bolster their extremely small numbers and limited supplies.
In a way, it's a rather "racist" perception on the part of leftists. Where they tout tribal warfare as being nowhere near as big of a deal, simply because the scale of war and weaponry employed aren't comparable to that of Europeans.
Which is also doubly stupid if they're not comparing against examples of European warfare with similar population sizes/density and relative technological development.
I've long acknowledged I would be dead weight in such a scenario.
I dunno why some people can't handle such honest perspectives of themselves. It's not even necessarily something to be taken personally, just simply a matter of reality and a willingness to acknowledge and accept it.
Ah wait, now I see why leftards would take offense.
