People who aren't conspiring to steal an election have no problem with people from the other party being there to make sure there's no funny business.

Considering all of the cities that all the issues are happening in have decades long histories of election fraud by the Democrat party in local elections, is it really that hard to believe that the existing fraud infrastructure could be mustered for a national election?

You're right. For some reason I've always associated that album with that song/name.

I realized my great shame when I went to listen to it afterwards. I never expected to get fact checked.

I was expecting this to be about the classic Bolt Thrower album.

During the thread 2 weeks ago I was recommended Axiom Verge. I had already had it on my wishlist and I said I'd definitely get it next time it was on sale.

Then it went on sale the next weekend. So that's what I've been playing for the past week, and what I plan to play this weekend. I've been playing more than usual this weekend to get my mind off the election nonsense.

I've been enjoying it. The dialogue has been kind of surprising. Based on the aesthetic I was expecting it to be super cryptic, but it's fairly straightforward.

It's telling that they're so horrified Trump is taking the proper course of action if impropriety is expected. If everything they're doing is legal they shouldn't be afraid of going to the court and bringing everything to light. In fact, that would be better for them because it would expose Trump and prove him to be all the things they say. If Biden actually won, proving it in court would be the best way to instill faith in the system.

My question is, how can anybody think this is anything besides self serving? All the people in support of this have vast wealth and power. They could just do these things that they want without requiring an economic overhaul.

So why don't they? The only rational answer is they don't care about the nice sounding stuff that's supposed to help everybody else. They just want more wealth and power for themselves. It's literally the only explanation.

Everything is Russian election meddling except for Putin literally meddling in the election.

Didn't Obama, today, make the argument that if our enemies want one of the candidates in particular to win, then it says something bad about that candidate?

Is Yaniv based? I can't think of a better argument against trans people than his existence. It's like he's trying to live up to all of the warnings conservatives gave about where this trans nonsense was heading.

If this were Trump the media would claim this is concrete proof that he's trying to steal the election.

One of my best friends just told me I wouldn't see her again until she thinks the pandemic is over since she doesn't think I'm taking the rona seriously enough. She's naturally a worrier and somewhat germaphobic. The fear porn has made her lose all reason.

So yeah, I'm sick of it.

If anybody has any links to studies about the death hospitalization being down, or any good numbers/news please share with me.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have tried most of those.

I loved Hollow Knight. It's one of my favorite games.

I started playing Sundered and enjoyed it a lot, but stopped for some reason I don't remember (Busy? Megaman X collection? The answer is lost to time.). I should pick up it again because that game is pretty sweet.

I actually started playing Blasphemous recently but haven't able to really get into. Everything in it feels so slow. Maybe I need to give it more of a shot, but so far I feel like it's not really for me.

Axiom Verge is on my wish list. If it goes on sale I'll probably snatch it up. Especially since the sequel is coming out this year.

Ultimately though, Dead Cells is black hole that just keeps sucking me in.

Have you played Cuphead? That's been another one of my favorites since getting back on the 2d game wagon (which I had been off of since I was a kid).

After being too busy with grad school to play video games for quite a few years, I finally got back into in the last few. I still don't play too much, but when I do I've been playing 2d action/platformers almost exclusively.

Dead Cells is what I've been playing the most recently. They must put crack in that game because I just can't stop.

This guy is pants on head retarded. I tried to keep notes so I could comment on the egregiously dumb shit he said, but there was too much so I gave up.

He's literally doing in this video what he claims the right (and make no mistake, he specifies he's not just talking about extremists) is doing. He's dehumanizing everybody who has a differing political view and justifying any violence that may be used against them (I had to shoot that guy! He was a danger to my black friend!). I wonder what he thinks about the Covington kids?

Objectively, everything he's saying in this video the far left is doing. After the Denver shooting people from the leftist crowd celebrated a "fascist" being killed. Taking a stroll down memory lane, I recall a similar story from CHAZ/CHOP when they killed a black teenager.

Regardless, what's the leftist body count up to this year? Off the top of my head there was: the Denver shooting he mentioned (I really hope he at least made this before the rest of that story came out), the Portland Trump supporter, forget where but there was a black trump supporter who was shot and killed (At the height of BLM no less. Nobody said his name.). Plus, how many cops have been straight up murdered at this point?

Quote of the video: "Journalists face consequences when they tell lies."

Even without knowing what a coyote is, the fact that that word doesn't make sense in context should cue them in to the fact that it might have a meaning they're unaware of. That's how language and communication works at the most basic level.

This brings me to a thought that I recently had. All of the media/blue checks interpret everything Trump says in the most literal way possible, regardless of context or tone. But when it comes to Biden they're more than willing to examine what he "probably" meant. Meaning they just tell you what he was supposed to say but his dementia riddled brain couldn't handle actually getting out.

I really wish that when Biden was trying to play off the emails as Russian disinfo that Trump dropped the Bobulinski bomb on him. It seems pretty obvious that his campaign had decided on that as their answer before Bobulinski had come forward and didn't have time to alter course.

I think Biden basically just said what he thinks his base wants to hear and responded to pretty much everything Trump said with what amounted to "nuh uh".

Biden has some gall to try to push the "Trump is bought by foreign powers", and "we're voting for our character" bs considering he's currently implicated in 2 huge scandals.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like Biden came off better. He says so many things that "sound nice" but have 0 substance and he doesn't get enough push back on it. So it makes it seem like the things he's saying are reasonable or can't be answered.

I thought the moderator was much fairer, or at least attempted to seem fairer. I do think she still favored Biden though.

Edit: As a bonus, I love how when Biden was asked what his rona plan is he literally just said all the things Trump actually did. I think Trump called him on that but I don't remember exactly.

I considered trying out Among Us when it blew up. Then I remembered how horrible I was at playing maffia in high-school. And that was with people I knew, not randos on the internet. So I decided it probably wasn't a game for me.

Plus it would cut into my Dead Cells time.

So TDS is now, by definition, bigotry? Not sure they thought that one through.

Here's a way that maybe these people can understand.

Pretend all of the people living in the 14 states are black, and all the people in California are white. Should the white people be able to make sweeping decisions about how the black people live just because they're the majority? What if they make a stupid decision because they don't understand the lives of the black people? For example, what if they ban makeup for dark complexions over environmental concerns from the manufacturing. After all, the white people don't use it and don't know anybody who uses it, so why should it keep being produced if nobody uses it?

Or what if all of the people in those 14 states are gay, and the people in California are straight? What if the straights decide to ban gay marriage because they think it's gross. Should they have so much say just because there's more of them?

It's funny how the people who claim to support minorities are actively advocating to take their power away. Oh that's right. They couldn't care less about minorities. They just want to impose their will on everbody else because they know what's best.

Without having read the article, I assume the gist of it is Fox exists, and not 100% of coverage of Trump is negative, therefore it's biased in his favor because obviously he's ultra-Hitler.
