It's John McCain all over again. Rather than resign and live out the rest of her days in peace, she held on to the office of US Senator until her literal dying breath.
How many times has this happened now? 4 in recent memory? Expect this trend to accelerate as time goes on.
On the other-hand you are helping people that don't have a good life.
Most passages in the Bible on this topic which refer to "[your] neighbor", refer to people(s) that you share at least some commonality with, such as nationality, cultural history, ethnicity, profession, etc. In context with Scripture, this translates to Jew helping Jew.
The Muslims and Central/Western Africans coming in by the millions not only have 0 in common with us, the Muslims in particular actively seek to destroy us as demanded by their holy book, The Quran, whether it be by the sword, or by outbreeding us with their polygamy practices (up to 4 wives per man starting VERY young).
Fire on invaders a few times, and they probably stop coming, so you don't have to fire on them anymore.
Even if that somehow stopped any more from coming (which, no offence, I sincerely doubt due to the sheer numbers involved), where does that leave the rest of the tens of millions already residing here? There would need to be a coinciding deportation campaign on a scale not seen since Eisenhower, and God only knows what else to even begin tackling the problem.
I honestly want this wiped from my brain's memory after watching this. I humbly request lots of eye bleach, because I am sick of this clown world.
HONK HONK HONK!!!
Are people right about cops deserving the hate?
They deserve all of it and more. I can't say how much more without violating rule 2.
It is the one belief that I've still maintained even after I stopped being a leftist.
That being:
The police aren't your friend, they were never your friend, they are jackboots of the state who would gladly choose their paycheck over peoples God-given rights (and in some cases, peoples' lives). If they were given the order to perform door-to-door confiscations, they would do it no questions asked.
Hell, they showed themselves willing to blockade people from escaping a massive conflagration on the Hawaiian island of Maui (of the people caught in traffic trying to get away, only the people who got out of their cars and ran past the blockade on foot survived, whereas those who stayed in their cars basically got cremated alive). You also have a perfect demonstration of where their true loyalties lie with the 2020 race riots, where they arrested people defending themselves and/or their property, while letting BLM/Antifa running around completely unopposed, or worse, protecting politicians' homes and no one else.
Further still, there are also legitimate cases of police brutality that have gone completely unpunished (and/or unnoticed), both far back and in the more recent past (Fentanyl Floyd notwithstanding).
I could go on about other properties, but I'm going to stop here.
I'll continue then.
-
F-Zero was abandoned and then turned into a skinsuit for Mario Kart 8 (DLC?) content.
-
Star Fox was done dirty and murdered in its sleep with Star Fox Zero. The game only sold 500,000 copies, on top of being the Wii U's last ever first party game (Nintendo's worst selling console), combined with the ridiculous, bordering on sadistic, reliance on the gamepad, and you got yourself a poison pill strong enough to kill any IP.
-
Mother 1 and 3 still remain Japanese exclusive, even as Mother 2 (A.K.A. Earthbound) has gained a cult following.
-
The Paper Mario IP has completely lost its way after the 3rd game (more like the 2nd, but I'm being generous here), to the point that indie developers were able to take what made them good in the first place and make their own game. The Mario & Luigi RPG series is in a similar rut.
-
Pokémon (although not fully owned by Nintendo), even as the games are selling more than ever, are also more buggy and unpolished than ever. Even if you somehow manage to have a bug free experience, the games also lack any level of polish to the point that even normies have taken notice. There are videos out there that do a better job explaining it than I could.
-
Fire Emblem has been subsumed by the left, and their influence has been slowly seeping in to the Japanese side of the development of these games. As I never really paid attention to the status of the series pre-2014 (hint hint), I couldn't really tell you where the rot truly began. That said, like Mother 1 & 3, Fire Emblem still has quite a few titles that to this day remain Japanese exclusive. To add insult to injury, Nintendo did to the series' very first title (an official English translation no less) what it did with Super Mario 3D All Stars, meaning if you didn't catch it... that's it, you can't get it unless you resort to fan translations.
-
Metroid... Where to begin... Despite the series' checkered history, Metroid Dread looks like a good return to form, and an okay game, but what I really want it Metroid Prime 4 which has been in development hell since the Wii U era.
-
Donkey Kong is just... there, not really having a game of their own since DKC: Tropical Freeze, which is sad considering the character's history with Nintendo's money maker Mario, and speaking of Mario...
-
With Charles Martinet's announced retirement, there is no tell where Nintendo will go next. Time will tell how they handle this and who they hire as a replacement.
This list doesn't take into consideration other IPs that only survive on Super Smash Bros, such as Excite Bike, Ice Climbers, Kid Icarus, and there is probably many other that I didn't list off because at the time of writing, I'm tired.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk...
Too bad the DA didn't lose his job over that whole debacle. IIRC, isn't he overseeing the case of the guy who did the Waukesha Christmas Massacre?
As a reminder: JSG defended Cuties for... reasons? I don't even know what his problem was, all I know for sure is that he came to its rescue suspiciously hard.
England is well on the way to becoming a Muslim theocracy without any formal jihad, without a shot being fired.
There is more than one type of Jihad than the one we are all familiar with, which I call "Jihad by the sword". Outpopulating the natives, whether by mass migration or by their practices of polygamy (up to 4 wives per muslim man, starting very young), is also a form of Jihad. Muslims have also used lying to both protect themselves from scrutiny and expand their own power.
In any case, mass violence will come for non-muslims once they reach a certain percentage of the general population. Their holy book, the Quran, calls for violence against nonbelievers many dozens of times, with the most explicit of them being (my notes in italics)...
"Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the latter day and who do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden and who do not adopt Islam, (even if they are) of the People of the Book [Christians and Jews] - [fight] until they humbly pay the Jizyah [non-muslim tax] and have been subdued."
- Quran 9:29
You can change it in the power options, so that closing the laptop does nothing/leaves it running.
Well this is a matchup I thought I would never see... Having watched Russel Brand in the past, he made his stance toward MSM anything quite clear, so seeing him interview Tucker Carlson of all people is a genuine surprise to me.
Edit: Video begins at the 39 minute mark, possibly due to behind the scenes technical difficulties.
I recently got American Truck Simulator for a good deal (specifically, the "Southwest Bundle" for $22 and change. Base game available for $5). I had been wanting a game more outside my comfort zone for a while, and this has me surprisingly hooked.
You get a wide variety of control options (all the way up to dedicated steering wheel, pedals, and gearbox), and it play quite decent on my Xbox 360 controller.
The only glaring flaw is that the NPCs all drive like Californians, so trucker beware.
I'm surprised he picked that, and not the episode where he falls in love with a space hermaphrodite.
PC Gamer put out an article with a surprisingly reasonable take regarding Nintendo's stance toward emulation. Only error I can see in the article is about the Dolphin/Steam situation (Valve contacted Nintendo willingly, Nintendo didn't pressure them).
Archived because it'll take more than 1 good article to redeem themselves.
The bill was passed in Florida
And signed into law by DeSantis during his (no longer) secret trip to Jerusalem in Israel, which is not the USA.
he's the governor of Florida
John McCain was a senator of Arizona, and yet he rubbed elbows with Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi in Syria right as their civil war kicked off, and gave speeches in Ukraine. For the same reasons, I'm giving DeSantis crap because signing an aggressive bill on "combating antisemitism" doesn't seem to serve the overall interests of the citizens of Florida.
He doesn't have to be in the state to govern the state. If he's out of state and a hurricane hits he can declare a state of emergency from wherever he is.
He should at least remain in the country as he does so, which is the main issue I'm trying to raise (on top of the contents of the bill).
How is he (or anyone) allowed to sign a bill while not just being outside his jurisdiction, but outside the country? There has got to be some law against this, surely...
LastPass is compromised. They have had 2 security breaches back to back, and the 2nd breach happened for the same reason as the 1st. Because they care so little about their security of their users, I highly urge you to consider some alternatives.
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
-Matthew 10:22 KJV
I had another point I wanted to make, but being sick has doing a number on my concentration, so here you go.
Edit:
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
-John 15:18 KJV
Probably a better applied scripture in this situation. I'm leaving both up.
Still I do think him running for CA governor during the CA recall fucked up the entire recall.
The recall was as stolen as the 2020 presidential election, if not worse because it was concentrated in the one state that has "fortification" down pat more than any other.
I'm talking 1000%+ voter turnout being registered in certain counties, Republican voters being told they had already voted, voting machines breaking down but only in red districts, every stop was pulled out to keep that megalomaniac in power.
Also, even with the above, it was a lot closer than you would think, considering the vengeful and vindictive actions Gruesome Newsome took immediately after avoiding being recalled, because how dare the plebs want to get rid of him.

Apologies if this is a duplicate
Daggerfall Unity: GOG Cut: This version of Daggerfall Unity comes with a deluge of mods, and also saves a lot of time having to dig through Nexus Mods, and dealing with their slow download speeds + account requirement. The changes from the mods range anywhere from a visual and graphical overhaul, to gameplay balancing and changes (to a point, it's still based on a Bugthesda game from 1996), to little touches that flesh out the world. That said, because of the sheer complexity involved, I recommend trying to find a character creation guide on YouTube if you want any chance of getting past the first dungeon. There is also a little prior set up involved, as it doesn't come with the latest version of DFU. Also, if you don't have a beefy enough computer to run all the mods, vanilla Daggerfall (w/ with DFU by itself) is an option.
However you proceed, save often, and keep more than one save (I keep 3, one for out and about exploring and staying in a town, one for just before starting a dungeon, and one for while being in said dungeon).
Heroes of Might and Magic 3: Complete: In conjunction with the HoMM3 HD mod, I consider it among the best Turn Based Strategy games. Not to be confused with Heroes of Might and Magic 3 HD released by Ubisoft that only contains the base game. There are 2 main portions of the game, the overworld map, and the battles. The typical objective is to completely eliminate the opponent, but sometimes it is varied (find a buried artifact, capture a specific town, etc.). There are a wide variety of factions to play as, each with a different play style. There is also a tactical element to the game, as the titular Heroes you use to explore the map and wage battle with can learn various skills, ranging from boosting your spells, to boosting morale/luck, and much more. 10/10, would rob a leprechaun again.
Although I stopped watching after the end of season 8 (10 seasons total), I can tell you that you will enjoy it quite a bit as the series progresses.
That is some 1984 "increasing from 30 rations to 25 rations" BS.
Also, as someone who watch their hometown turn into Mexico Del Norte in real time, the one thing that angered me more than "based gays" and "based blacks" was seeing frequent posts of "based latinos". No amount of Cuban and Venezuelan testimonies is worth watching entire chunks of town (if not entire cities) shift from bilingual at worst to only Spanish.
Now, doing a hostile takeover of the mod teams and turning it into a "Conservative - But loves gays!!!" just a matter of months at this point.
It already happened. I saw it first hand with r/thedonald, and later thedonald.win until the userbase basically self-destructed over a short time from 1/6/21 to 1/21/21, after which I checked out.
"We have the best gays, yes we do!" "Muh Based Blacks!!1!" ... and so on.
They still survive as patriots.win, but it is a shell of what it once was. I know you were posting about reddit, but oh well.
Possible rule violations aside... We're not 4chan, this place doesn't really have high enough concentrations of "weaponized autism" as it's called to pull it off. Even if we did, as others have pointed out, most of us here are innately incapable of the sheer deviancy required to even get them to perk their ears up, let alone actually fall for it.
I would go one step further and say that such a success would backfire somehow, if not on us specifically, then on wider society a la Tumblr.
So sorry, not sorry, don't even try it.
