It’s funny you praise 5 for that, but as a huge fan of the series I think the best description I read of mg5 was: “it’s simultaneously the best stealth action game out there and the worst metal gear game in the series.” Lol

I think the open world kinda ruined the pacing of the story and it all felt kind of disjointed in comparison to the linear games. That’s coming from someone who LOVES open world games too. Still lots of fun though

COVID did wonders for the wealth concentration of billionaires… Mom and pops close down, billionaires can ride it out and if anything made profit.

The immense concentration of wealth, driven significantly by increased monopolistic corporate power, has allowed large corporations and the ultrarich who exercise control over them to use their vast resources to shape global rules in their favor, often at the expense of everyone else.

This is literally everything.

Aside from the bullshit religion is responsible for, the vast majority of the issues with the whole world is down to this. Government of the corporation, by the corporation, for the corporation.

I used to make a joke with friends back in highschool that if I ever had a kid I’d name them something like Bu62bil8 and just say it’s pronounced “David” to mess with teachers.

Elon Musk must have heard me and thought I was being serious…

Hey hey hey let’s not just assume they’re all Mexican! Let’s just make a brown smiley face patch so we can include everyone they’ll be deporting.

:(

Ha! Got ya liberal!

Your fancy chart just shows its bias! “Violent crimes per 1000 people ages 12 and older!”

They just soooo happened to keep the most violent ones out of the data! 5-8 year olds! Propaganda and lies!

:P

Fake news is exactly what the Magoos will be saying… They’ll just make up some absolute nonsense to dismiss it like “they removed tracking violence in Mexico City and Venezuela from the US statistics to make it look better for the election!!”

I’m not a right winger and while I can’t give specifics exactly, I do basically buy the same things every week because I’m boring like that. All cheap stuff, no organic or gourmet anything. I can say that in the last say 18 months I went from spending $65-$80/week depending on whether I was restocking non food items, to spending $110-120/week. Not exactly double, but damn close.

To get it back to the 70ish I now just eat less and I don’t buy any extras like anything premade. :/

About 132

And to set up the steal as “legitimate.”

Whatever plan they decide to go with to steal the election they’ll point to instances like this to “prove” it was stolen from them. :/

Exactly.

They are the ones playing the long game and have been stacking the courts with henchmen for decades.

Mitch McFuckingDemonTurtle wasn’t spending his life refusing to hear judicial nominations from Democrats for nothing.

For one, it’s about the rights NEED to always be against anything from the left.

For another, this is the start of the disinformation laundering chain. Faux News can now run stories about how “Florida surgeon general is fighting back against liberal disinformation!” Their position gives “legitimacy” to the claims…

Not voting is just allowing the worse option which still puts blood on your hands. Inaction still has consequences.

We don’t live in a world where we have the ability to be completely pure, it’s an option that simply doesn’t exist unfortunately. :(

It’s propaganda. People that choose to consume corporate media (even us here) are often duped by propagandists, but Fox and Newsmax are among the absolute worst literally fabricating a false reality for their viewers so that they feel victimized by their opposition and see Trump as their savior…

It’s so fucking gross.

Obligatory: I FUCKING HATE PROPAGANDISTS!

It’s why the gigantic spiders don’t bother them, they see a bit of themselves in them.

:P

Questions about his mental health? Are you fucking joking? The lengths these people will go to so they don’t have to flat out call him a liar is absurd…

Oh maybe he really believes it and he’s just mentally unwell. Feel bad for poor poor aging Trump. Nooo it couldn’t be that he’s lying out of his fucking teeth to manipulate the population! Nooo he doesn’t hold the amount of sway he currently does because of propaganda and a history of lying about absolutely everything. Nooo it’s just poor poor aging Trump… For fucks sake.

“In our efforts to not express what could be conceived as bias, we have decided to bend over backwards to make Trump look as best as we could with the material given.”

Any organization doing this out of greed, for the desire to obtain new conservative viewers, are failing at their jobs and don’t deserve the protections of the first amendment. It’s not there for you to profit off of at our expense, it’s there for you to protect and inform us.

If I understand this bill correctly even I a native born citizen who has a family that has been here over 100 years could possibly not be able to vote in this election as I don’t have the new “federal” drivers license yet and the order is supposed to take affect immediately…

I think the only reason Republicans are against this right now is because it might actually affect them too…

I’m not totally delusional! I know she’s a hallucination, I mean how else would I be with someone who loves me?

I think it’s even a bit worse than “simply” calling her a drunk, but a specific type of “lazy woman” who sits at home all day drinking boxed wine while her husband works. Truly disgusting, but I wouldn’t expect anything else from a trump propagandist.
