I think a lot of rich people don’t understand that being rich precludes them from being a part of the working class. They think that because they’re working, that must mean they’re a working class person. And then that leads to shit like this, rich folk calling other rich folk working-class.

Obviously, there are more reasons for people calling the CEO a working class hero, but I think what I said is still one of those reasons.

Do the movies count? Cause I’m pretty sure it’s Wild Green Yonder.

And many of them voted for the guy who said he had “concepts of a plan” to maybe fix it, if it can be done better. So them being unhappy about it doesn’t mean much when we are about to get a government that is actively hostile to improving any kind of health care for anyone ever.

I wish this wasn’t being framed with “Big loss for corporations” and instead was being framed as “Big win for consumers.”

One guy said this “VP Harris failed to demonstrate she was ethically or intellectually capable of executing the office, repeatedly failing to detail out her policies…" It’s infuriating that people continue to believe Harris never detailed her policies despite the fact that all she talked about was policy. All they had to do was pay attention to her and she would talk about her policies, it seems like they just didn’t want to even pay attention to her. Or that because she didn’t detail alllll of her policies then that wasn’t enough. Add on that this person calls her intellectually incapable of talking about her policies, basically calling her stupid and it’s just exhausting.

This whole article continues to make me believe in the fundamental problem with Democrat voters which so many people have shown. The democrats have to run the perfect candidate with the perfect policies or the charisma of Obama who promise the world, while the Republicans can run a guy who says immigrants are eating cats and dogs and because the Democratic candidate wasn’t perfect, the Republicans win.

And then when the Democrats do promise signficant change and it doesn’t immediately happen, Democrat voters punish them for it, they lose the midterms, and any change that was in the process of happening gets stopped dead. But when Republicans promise the world and don’t deliver, Republican voters reward them for simply promising it.

“Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line.”

Ya know what’s great about this article? It opens saying that Mace says she was assaulted and that all the witnesses say that it was a handshake. Then says “Whatever the truth…”. By using that phrasing, HuffPo is literally caving to Mace’s threat of a defamation lawsuit. They’re essentially saying “sure all the witnesses say this was a handshake, but we can’t possibly know the truth” all because they believe her that she will sue the places that report it as the handshake that it was. The decision for this phrasing was likely made by an editor, but it still sucks that they’re acting like we can’t possibly know the truth.

Missouri voters: Let’s vote to enshrine abortion rights into law and also elect the people who want to make abortion illegal. That totally won’t have any impact on if our ballot measure gets respected.

A cane, bent glasses, and a SSD filled with movies.

Isn’t it great that the only thing that has caused his nominees to drop out are either because they did something defended/held firm on the lock downstairs during covid, or had sex with a minor? So great.

There actually was a second season with an actual ending but it definitely deserved more.

Interestingly, Tate has been “trans-vestigated” recently. There are a lot of those fuckers saying he’s a trans dude. One picture in particular is of him sitting in a speedo on a chair and the person circled his crotch cause there wasn’t much of a bulge and said “looks like someone forgot to include their falsey” or something like that. Fucking hilarious that they’re investigating everyone they possibly can because they dont know how to tell when someone is trans even though they’re convinced they do.

Fuck Andrew Tate.

Breaking News: RPG does what all RPGs do but we will compare it to only what one well know RPG does instead of simply saying it’s an RPG that does RPG things.

They could have said any other recent RPG game and it would have applied. Using Baldurs Gate 3 is probably just because Avowed is in the Pillars of Eternity world which was another isometric game, but still it’s just an RPG. It could just be channeling Pillars of Eternity instead of Baldurs Gate 3. Why do we have to use Baldurs Gate 3 for every comparison out there?

Because they’re desperate to recoup some of their money for development and the game hasn’t sold very well. Case in point: Suicide Squad is 3.49 or 4.99 for the deluxe edition. The game sold like trash so they desperately want to make some more money and hope people will go like “well it’s only 5 bucks. I may as well.”

Dude could randomly give 147,000 people 1 million dollars but he’s more likely to just give it to charities that his buds or family will benefit from.

He didn’t threaten to do it. He said he was going to. Threaten has the implication he might choose not too but he directly said he’d be doing it on his first day in office. That is not a threat. It’s a plan.

You can be a truly vile piece of shit without having to resort to prejudice. If anything, resorting to racism to be a piece of shit is cheap, as if the writer didn’t want to think of an actually shitty thing the character could do. For instance, if you could turn one of your companions over to a bounty hunter who wants them because of some gambling debts. But you’ve gotten to know them and understand those debts were only a result of them being blackmailed into gambling by some mobster. Then when the bounty hunter comes a knocking, you say “Don’t care, you shouldn’t have gambled” and turn them over. Mind I’m not a writer so this isn’t the best example. But that’s still being a piece of shit without having to be racist. There are more ways to be a piece of shit and have it be interesting than resorting to prejudice.

Can you treat the women negatively because they are women? Can you treat the Grey Warden Davrin badly because he’s a black elf? Can you treat the Dwarf Harding badly because she’s a Dwarf?

The answer to all of these is no. Why should someone being trans be any different?

Edit: is it purely pushing an agenda because it’s a “controversial” topic for some people? Would the same be said if accepting Black rights in our society was more recent and the game had allowed you to simply accept a black person for who they are? Making your character accept your companions for who they are is a core theme of the game, Taash is no different.

The Steam forums are fucking awful. Filled with bigotry and nazis complaining about gaming be woke. There’s literally a list of “Woke games” for people to avoid, it has thousands of games on there.

When people talk about the new Dragon Age, it’s filled with people calling it woke propaganda and pushing the transgender ideology all because it has a trans character that you can’t not accept.

If you ever wonder “should I go on the steam forums to check this one thing I’m curious about?” The answer is always no.
