I agree, but the government is doing its best do that for us. Actual leaders have been ousted and replaced with sycophants. I don’t think we can take the military being on our side for granted, even if we don’t drive them away.

Can’t wait to lose health insurance and die. At least I won’t have to witness any more American history

That is the important part. Until fines are not just a flat number, they will always affect the poor disproportionately.

It has definitely made enormous strides but the racing is worse than it’s ever been, even if you leave Monaco out of it

I feel the same way. Everything I read makes things seem a little more hopeless, but as long as I can remind myself that there are many others in worse positions, I can just about bear it. At this point I am just hoping there will come a day when I can stop feeling so overwhelmed with disgust.

You are very right, but I do think specific language is important. Sometimes generalization is needed to be concise, other times specificity is not much of a burden. The writer can be just as responsible for misinterpretation as the reader.

If Jesus himself resurrected and said he didn’t like Trump, he would do the same thing. And a lot of supposed Christians would immediately agree with him

I’m sure you were asked this a lot when Kofie got laid off, or may have even addressed it when Secret Base started. Is there a link to some kind of explanation about the purpose of having a corporate overload but also having a patreon? I try to support creators I love, but don’t get the situation.

Those were always such fun bits. It would have been really nice to have disposable income back in the TGS/Cooptional days, there were so many weird snacks I wanted to try.

For a while I had successfully trained myself to stop checking social media every 5 minutes, but the current state of the country is so depressing that I’m fully back into it. I feel like I’m giving in if I’m not constantly tracking the news and staying outraged. I just want to enjoy things again.

What bothers me most is not necessarily phones themselves or how key they are to navigating the world now, but how their ubiquity seems to make it increasingly difficult for people, including me, to live in the moment.

God forbid anyone buys a game they are going to enjoy. Even if nostalgia plays a part, whether that makes it any less worthwhile is in the eye of the beholder. I don’t find Elder Scrolls gameplay interesting at this point in my life but I’m happy for those that have wanted this for ages

Revealing what they are doing is not enough. The situation has long been too bad to cling to ideals of what “nonpartisan” journalism should be, ignoring that treating Trump as anything short of a tyrant IS partisan. The longer it takes to sound the alarm, the more we are giving up without a fight.

Conservative defectors are definitely one of the easiest ways to stop this madness. It’s just going to have to be ones actually in elected office rather than the ones we have now. If any one of them summons the dignity to stop licking the MAGA boot this becomes a more manageable situation.

I think the country as a collective is going to have to get to grips with this reality eventually and either stop letting the far right’s imaginary socialist boogeyman scare them, or start to embrace it and push the Democratic party further left so it can win some of back the working class.

The core point is fair but there is no real left wing in America. There’s a far right party and a centrist party (at best). There are some vaguely influential center right and center left individuals, but there is essentially nothing and no one (relevant) that is truly left wing.

Even now it’s only opinion pieces being remotely critical, despite the fact that these clowns are trying to dismantle the government is not a matter of opinion.

The number one focus has to be class warfare every time. The poor vs the rich, us vs them. It is a fight for our futures and the Democrats have to find a way to make that clear. If this guy can do that, great. It is the only way to win, and only after that could we help the oppressed elsewhere.

Democrats(?) - I see the party has already given up on mounting any kind of resistance
Also Democrats(?) - The party should choose idealism over pragmatism
I hate what has happened and is happening to Palestine, but if every election is made about supporting them, the fascists will continue to win

Reminds me of how cool it was when I first saw this cameo in game, that’s when it really struck me that the same guy whose cataclysm beta videos I watched was in a hugely hyped game. I feel like I already knew that quest existed but my brain hadn’t fully processed it yet.
