Same's true of fascists, and in many of the same ways.

Probably not games or movies, but if I had that kind of money I'd be giving grants to so many novels from writers I love.

Yeah, what I mean is that's what it's taking to get people to consider Meta.

It also tells you how hard it is to get anyone competent to work at meta. Nobody wants to work there.

Alistair Reynolds has a series called Revelation space where there is no FTL, and spaceship battles are years long affairs.

Treat politics like a sport long enough and sometimes you'll start rooting for the winning team

I'm a sucker for anything bird but your duck videos are always a treat.

Cars have also gotten much more powerful and the power feels much safer from the driver's position. Suspensions and noise reduction and just better engineering than before. Doesn't change physics though.

This is why those "Texas city added so much housing while California city added so little" posts always rub me wrong. I get that CA needs to build more housing, but don't even pretend it's the same comparison.

If they arrest him we are even obligated to go out there and shut the cities down. You gotta take the martyrs you get I guess.

Newsom should call up (more of) the national guard and detain them.

You know when you keep saying you are done with something and you keep coming back to it? There's a word for that.

I can only think of one case in SF, quite a while back.

That's a petty mean thing to say about Jim Beam, Jack Daniels and Elijah Craig.

too bad trump is too senile to come up with a good one

I understand Trump likes to say it like "impeached like a dog." (He probably says bitch, but that's Trump for you.)

It's a hard city to explore as a non-local beyond the standard tourist things. I really think that's part of it.

You played Yazeba? It hits the "oh my god too fucking twee" that so many otherwise indie rpgs seem to be obsessed with these days.
Like I totally get wanting to tell new stories, but do they have to be so... so... well, so?

exactly. and they'll do overtime for a while, but they aren't shock troops and they will get sick of it fast. especially as normies start to hate them.

most cops don't want to be storm troopers, they want to play candy crush and get an excuse to turn on the siren.
if you thought the george floyd protests were messy, just wait till it becomes military in the city streets. the country will shut down and it'll be a disaster for trump.

that might not work out too well for cities in red states
you think policing is bad now, what about when the rural areas realize how much they can kick the cities?

But blocking is a good way to remove the temptation to keep pissing in the wind.

No, people who want to use Trump to turn the country into their flavor of fascism need all that. Trump doesn't need shit because he has no goals other than make Trump the biggest man in big man town and he's got that doesn't have the talent or curiosity to think beyond that.

In retrospect that's unfair to corporate raiders which need some economic intelligence. He has the soul of a slumlord real estate developer.

Trump is going to burn it all down and leave a huge pile of shit where anything good used to stand, not because he wants to solidify power but because he is bad at solidifying long term power. He's an 80s corporate raider at heart, not KGB.
comment in response to

Also, Trump doesn't need skilled or intelligent people because he's here for a very different goal than Putin is. He's old, is going to loot everything he can, and leave a flaming pile of shit. Putin was much younger, was solidifying power, and had some (evil) goals.

Seems weird that the complaint is not so much that they are raising money to buy munitions, but that they are raising money to buy effective munitions.
