Remember ladies: Find you a man who looks at you like Jim Acosta looks at Jim Acosta.

Oh, if this is all fake and an attempt at extortion (seems likely unless we get some DAMN good counter-evidence), I guarantee they were hoping that he would roll over and beg for mercy, and the last thing they expected was for him to go Full Retard and go on the offensive against THEM. So now they are forced to throw increasingly extreme accusations at him hoping it makes him back off.

And if that was their plan, I have to ask: Did they think Trump and the Populist were joking when they said they were there to kick ass and ruin establishments, and they're all out of ass?

That was my first reaction as well when I heard this.

"If it turns out he is guilty, then throw the book at him......but forgive me for not trusting you. So I am going to put a pin in this accusation and come back to it later ANNNNDDD You were lying to me."

You say that, but the problem is that all the places still doing this are places that were already in the Woke Mafias pocket.

I live in a modestly sized city in Kansas, and while we have had mask we never really had a shutdown (outside of the first 14 day one) and our businesses have been at 50-75% capacity for pretty much the whole time. We have had mask, but it sounds like this last extension is the last one, because now the majority of the city council says they are against more extensions. And not only has pretty much every business survived, most are hiring and some have even willingly shut down to do renovations because they are still making plenty of money.

And we are one one the stricter places in the state. Out west, they have resisted even mask, never mind shutdowns.

So what do you expect me to do about the fact that LA and NYC are shitholes?

The studies that say that "Half of gamers are women" usually include casual or mobile-exclusive games as part of it. When you get to women who are actually, shall we say, "enthusiast gamers" the percentage does drop significantly. There is also something to be said about them, in general, preferring different games.

For instance, my fiance plays games so we have a shared passion, but we play VERY different games. I like strategy, poli-sim, city builders, shooters, and racing games. She prefers puzzle, casual (think stuff like Turbo Dismount), and life-sim games. Even for games we both like (Fallout and Elder Scrolls), we play different. I prefer a challenge, I like building my kit and fighting style, I like the gameplay, and I like having to manage my supplies and inventory. She likes turning on God Mode and using the fact that she has infinite health and money to dick around, as well as experience the story without having to worry about if she has enough supplies to defeat a Deathclaw without it punching her in the face.

If I am honest, my "watching it to spite them" shows have batted 100. Shield Hero, Goblin Slayer, Uzaki-Chan. They were all great. So I guess all I can tell them is "Keep doing it."

If its the two I think they are that went on his podcast, I am not shocked that shit went down with them. They seemed more than a little nuts when they were on there, and if I was told that the dude was high as shit while on the podcast, I would have believed it.

On the other hand, Tim has an ego the size of Saturn so I am sure that that probably didnt help him any.

My high school had a thing they would do (still do) where for an off football game, they would have the football players be cheerleaders and the cheerleaders be football players. This included appropriate outfits. It was usually just as hilarious as it sounds. And luckily, every time the woke have tried to get rid of it, the rest of the student body says “no way, it’s funny.”

You might be able to pull off that sort of thing is somewhere like NYC or LA, but where I live the second you kicked in the door, you would be sent flying back out that door in a hail of bullets, and then when the sheriff shows up you just show them the threats and your kicked in door and the response will be "Fair enough. Have a good day."

Although I am sure it will be used as proof of the Trans-Genocide or something like that.

There may be that, but I can tell you another one. I have heard a lot of major Conservative thought leaders start advocating (using the quotes of Dan Bongino from here on out) what they call "battlefield morality." We didnt want to have to fight the culture war, but the Left is forcing us to, so we must put aside our normal rules and morals until the left agrees to play by "Gentlemans Rules" again. How far are they going? Well, Dan has advocated people read Rules for Radicals, and has started to quote it on his show.

Which shows another old saw about the Right/Conservatives: They tend to move slow, but when they start moving it is with the unstoppable force of an avalanche.

I think they know, and its why they are seething and ultra-enraged over it.

"YOU CANT DO THAT!! Only WE are allowed to do that! How dare you!"

And I foresee a lot of this sort of "throwing their own absurdity back in their face" thing in the future. Because the amount of people who dont give a damn if you call them the usual Words of Power (racist, sexist, misogynists, etc) is rapidly decreasing. And once you cant just bash people over the head to make them do what you want, they will just make a complete mockery of you and everything you believe in, because they know its stupid.

Maybe I am uninformed, but didn’t Texas go harder Red in 2020 than it did in 2016? And didn’t a study show that the majority of new arrivals were voting Red?

I have also started to believe there is some Sunk Cost ideas going into it. These people did what they were told, saw their lives ruined, their usual hangouts and business going bust, and then their cities destroyed. Meanwhile, states like Texas and Florida didnt lockdown nearly as hard, their local lives are still largely intact, and now they are saying "We are done and going back to normal."

So they rage and scream because they have to believe that they ruined their lives for SOMETHING, otherwise they will have ruined their lives for nothing and its their own faults. And that is unacceptable to them.

In b4 this turns into "are traps gay."

Traps are only gay if you are still attracted to them after discovering they are a dude. If you are going entirely off of looks and havent discovered they are a dude yet, it is not gay.

There, problem solved.

As for main point, the abuse of the bisexual part of LGBT continues. They are too normal, which means they must be oppressed by the others (especially the insane trans types) for dominance.

I am still trying to figure out who unironically likes Brutalism. Other than Tankies of course.

I am just thankful that where I live they are using modern building techniques to get an old school look. They just built a new apartment complex in my town, and it was built with modern materials to get all of the benefits that come with that, but externally they made it look like it was built with brick and stone (to be fair, parts of it were). Its actually pretty good looking.

To give an alternate view to to the other comment, even if boomercons like him, he objectively has a huge following because every the last three times he has released songs (Fake Woke, Cancelled, and now Clown World) they have torn up the charts and rocketed up on pretty much every metric that tracks that sort of stuff.

And I doubt its Boomers doing that.

Yep. My money is on they will recall him, but then LA and San Fran will just vote for someone who pushes the same policies but isnt named Gavin Newsom so its all good and everything bad will stop. After all, doing everything the same will get a different outcome this time, right?

You know, I wonder if there is something to that, including with the "Low birth rate" in the West. I always hear about how no one in the US is having kids, but most of the people I work with have children, and my smaller town (about 50K people) is having to build a new elementary school because the current system is overloaded. So that news clearly never made it here.

But it wouldnt surprise me if that narrative exist because no one in the cities is having children, and since people in media never leave their mega-cities and go out in the countryside, they are bubbled up like usual and not getting a realistic picture of the world (like usual).

So which do you think it is, because I am having a hard time squaring this:

1. Paradox had a moment of lucidity and realized that they were starring down the barrel of another flop that they couldnt afford, and thought that Hardsuit were more trouble then they were worth. So Paradox yeets them and decides to start from square 1 and seek to make a not-woke, "will actually sell" game?

Or 2) This is Paradox deciding that even though they want the woke, Hardsuit was in way over their head, and so they are going to keep the pedal down on the woke aspects but give it to a team that has more potential?

I guess I lucked out then. I managed to meet the love of my life while in high school and she is very much not woke. Or at least, over the 10 years we have been together she has always thought of SJW's as just being this generations bullies.

I was going to say: The only things I have seen regarding them are woke people bitching and moaning about their outfits and chest size. Which we can obviously translate as "Too Sexy" because that is usually what they mean when they make those complaints.

Well, I suppose if you were ever trying to figure out why polling gets things so wrong all the time, there is your answer. They are starting from a place that will make sure that only an extremely tiny minority of the country is represented in their poll.

Yet more proof that the Right is more than willing to laugh at themselves, as long as the jokes are done in good faith (like here). Its the Left that are generally joyless drones who seek to strangle the clown for attempting to make them smile.

Like I keep saying: A lot of the problems and woke shit we hear being screamed about are city problems. Hell, I have seen it pointed out that a lot of the stuff that the Woke Mob believes about how everything is sexist, violent, and racist is because they never leave their mega-cities and they think that everywhere, even the smallest town, is like that. And this is further fueled by their media having the same problem and not showing rural areas how they actually are.

I love it. They think they are making some sort of point, and then they set themselves up to become a mockery without even putting any effort into it.
