Don't talk about the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Honestly even with all the caveats you can point to I was still more than ready to label Biden as the greatest president of my lifetime (for whatever that is worth) just for that barring any truly insane developments...and then the world said "hold my beer".
I've taken a small break from the sf6 grind. Need to reset myself a bit both to rediscover my drive and also unlearn some bad habits.
-I beat silent Hill remake. I liked it although I'm not quite sure what to make of the whole thing overall. Mainly I do think the whole thing is like 8 hours two long and I would like an abbreviation to match what I hear the original was like. I got the "bad" ending but tbh it seemed like a satisfactory end for Sunderland.
-did the Valhalla dlc for god of war now that its on PC. Good stuff. Shades of Hades. That conclusion and monologue was legit.
-my son and I have been playing little nightmares 2 together. We did part one for Halloween and now we're knew deep in the sequel.
-i feel since silent Hill and outer wilds echoes of the she I can actually kinda do horror finally.
Next on my playlist is probably last of us on PC...but I still need to play disco Elysium.
In reality I think there's probably not just one reason you can point to. Inflation, refusal to do a primary, abysmal campaigning, et al. All of it is probably a factor to one extent or another.
End of the day the one thing I do hope all of us on this site can agree to is that whatever the actual material reasons for it: the Democrats absolutely unquestionably deserved this loss.
Pretty proud of how this turned out. My partner went as Chappell Roan so it made for a good bit.
I don't want to give us too much credit cause we definitely do suck but: I do think its worth remembering that polls show a significant majority of Americans support a permanent ceasefire. This is just another example of democracy being a dog and pony show while the empire carries on doing whatever the hell it wants.
Supreme court Justices also....just sayin.
My S.O. posited this question to me and I choose the bear also and am surprised people here are pushing back against it.
Granted: if I'm lost in the woods I might have a different answer but assuming I know where I am and I stumble on a bear it's incredibly statistically likely the bear is just minding its own business and isn't gonna get involved in my business and I can probably scare it off if it starts to approach me easily enough.
If I encounter a strange person I'm immediately wondering what their reasons for being there even are. Sure: they might be the same as mine....but maybe they aren't. Impossible to say for sure. The bear is a known quantity. It's supposed to be there. I and the other person in the woods, generally speaking, aren't.
Wait, I thought we were constitutionally entitled to speak at college campuses and cancel culture was against our core western values. Lawl.
That'll do Rolling Stone! That'll do!!!
Wish I could admit to something cooler but I was watching Harry Potter with kiddo (I've really tried...he's into it though through my ex tho).
I can happily say however that we paused the movie and proceeded to dance around the house at the joyous good news. He's recording it in his diary now!

Called it!!!!!!
I wonder if she'll finally step down now.
This is the image I will remember whenever the words "rules based international order" are uttered.
