I think people need to stop asking why didn’t people vote for Harris and as why DID people vote for Trump.

I think everyone on the whole, is completely underestimating the completely apathetic to politics voter. There is a TREMENDOUS section of the population that would sway from Trump if they felt energized to do so. Kamala was not it. Her policies were not it. Her stance alone on Gaza was not enough (but should not be dismissed).

People voted for trump because they: are a huge supporter, or they felt they had a fatter wallet during his administration. They feel burned by Biden and Kamala is more of the same. Democrats have no one to blame but themselves.

Biden shouldn’t have even run, no one wanted it. He even said he’d be a transitional president. Then he backed out and Democrats held no primary. Why would any apathetic voter (especially the ones who were unaware Biden dropped out, check google trends) vote for the guy who made their bank accounts smaller if that’s all they care about?

I voted for Harris but not without reservations. The democrats do nothing to resonate with the left, and continue to distance themselves from leftist policies, which were popular on ballot measures this election.

So far ahead of its time. I can’t recommend this series enough to anyone who considers themselves even kinda left.

I love the double standard. Trump can say “arrest all the radical left” and “LOCK HER UP” but if a democrat grows a backbone and says it back it’s “THEY’RE BEING MEAN!!! YOU CAN’T SAY THAT!”

This can either be a really great release or a really crap one. The original Rayman is a gem. It is deceptively hard though, so a remake with potential to buff the player wouldn’t be the worst thing. I also don’t hate the modern Rayman art-style, it would work pretty well with the original world and landscapes.

Fingers crossed it doesn’t suck.

We can’t even figure out how to not have half our society be rasict, how the hell are we gonna save a whole planet from our fuckery?

Easy: they like money. The entire ideology behind Trump is “he’s rich and I can be rich like him too!” All the VC guys know they can manipulate him with very little money (for them) and get to keep/make more for themselves. He’s only a true friend to the wealthy.

I suppose. But on Reddit, I wouldn’t even bother to comment on a comment. So the sense of community is nice. Feels more like old forums or a familiar but lively discord.

Kinda yeah. BUT my comment to lurk ratio is still less than I did on Reddit. So even my few contributions are still more than I ever really did on Reddit.

Sam Altman always rubbed me the wrong way. He always seemed like he was trying to be the “humble” Steve Jobs - just as tyrannical and stubborn, but he was doing it “to better humanity” with AI. I call bullshit, he’s just another tech billionaire asshole.

With all these billionaires popping up how do we keep forgetting that the guillotine exists?

I bought puts, but at this rate, the company will be bankrupt before the contract expires in January.

I sank ENDLESS hours in GT4. That is one of my favorite games of all time. I would love to see a retooling of GT4 in the GT 5 or 6 engine, but I’ll take this.

I still have a save that I kept because the in game days were right before the black GT1 Cars went up in the used section.

The absolute best arcade racer to me was always NFS Hot Pursuit 2 for PS2. The physics were so much fun and the cars were a curated selection of cool.

Always loved the Project Gotham Racing series, especially 3. Tons of fun to drift in those games. The Kudos system was definitely a unique feature.

Been playing through the Ridge Racer games most recently. Damn these are just fun to play.

Sega Rally Championship will always stand out as some of the best driving physics early on.

Art of Rally and Art of drift are hella fun “zen” games with a unique art style.

I was always a sucker for some of the cash-in Fast and Furious era car fad games. Juiced, Tokyo Extreme Racer (out before all of it) Street Racing Syndicate, NFS Underground, Midnight Club 3. They’re all fun but driving is always just ok.

My short list though: Gran Turismo 4 Forza Motorsport 4 or 6 (4 is less grindy I feel) NFS Most Wanted 2

Aim lower.

It sounds shitty but there’s merit. Think of it like an RPG, where you grind on low level fodder until you have enough confidence to land where you really want. Also, you may find that people who you’ve generally considered “unattractive “ in the past are actually really great because they’re genuinely decent people.

Bag a few 2 or 3 girls (by your standards) so you feel confident and good enough about yourself that you’re not in a pit of despair.

I also noticed is that when you really stop trying, that’s when things tend to happen. Like you have to consciously stop trying. People can smell the desperation and effort a mile away. Confidence is sexy because it comes off as effortless.

Give it a week. Their twitter account apparently acknowledged it may be coming soon.

Yes and in Nassau county NY, they’ve now made it ILLEGAL to wear a mask unless you can prove to a cop you’re doing it cause you’re sick.

Deadass.

Apparently the law exists because “bad actors” were protesting certain policies while “undercover” in a mask. This law was designed to “protect citizens and law enforcement from people hiding their identities to commit crimes.”

Actually that did happen at the same time now that you mention it. I managed to catch it quick though. It did happen shortly after midnight. Luckily I’m a night owl and was awake.

I am currently using the iOS password manager. I have my qualms with it but it’s been mostly pretty solid. I was an android user for years and used a fair share of password managers, I like the iOS one the best but I know some of the new managers are much better. I don’t know any other iOS compatible password managers. I’m open to suggestions.

Also every account that uses 2FA has either an Authenticator code or email to an authentication secured email address.

I viewed the recent activity in my account. I did not receive any notifications of failed logins in the last 8 weeks its been going on. I assume because I use 2FA and the password is just wrong it doesn’t bother cause of the frequency it happens.

Ahhh, it’s good to be da king.

I remember when Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia came out. Hybrid Stigmata changed me forever. That was the extreme metal song that “clicked” for me finally and I quickly began my spiral into the metal darkness.
