was originally waiting for a full release. Caved and played Ch1 & 2 back in January. Got to experience the anticipation of 3 & 4 without any of the waiting berdly-smug

Before Deltarune, I had never played an episodic game where subsequent chapters ever did better than the first one. Wait for the complete release if you must, but I have to say now is a really exciting time to get into it and I think it uses the episodic release well.

Kinda sounds like a murder cult. If only the press weren't so constrained by libel laws, they could print up some eye-catching headlines and really put some people's feet to the fire demanding to know more about the "Fort Brag / Fort Liberty Murder Cult"

...oh wait, that's the Brits. So the Yanks have no goddamn excuse.

you joke, but I'm pretty sure there's a general who's gone on record saying this exact thing to try and excuse deaths at Bragg

a conversation is a collaborative art

although i've met people who seem to think its supposed to be a monologue with occasional and appropriate asides from the audince

liberals, less than one year ago: not-listening

20

the relatively early adoption of 'woke' by English press and politicians has done a lot for us, really accelerated the natural lifecycle of the phrase. We had a solid decade and a half of chuds calling everything PC, and now woke may not even last past 2025. They'll have to find a new way of complaining that they've been asked to be polite to people.

Can't even call a liberal woke anymore, 'cus of woke

but for now, it's funny to consider the US doing IMF-style restructuring to itself for... no other reason than we've hit the point where enough of us actually believe that's what you're supposed to do for the "GOOD" economy. We're not even getting a loan out of it, lol

sorry start speculating so early, but I'm really curious

like, who the hell will Republicans run next? Their Trump card is used up (fuck you I won't apologize for that). I don't really see anyone else with his broad appeal to take the mantel. Like, maybe some figure in this upcoming administration emerges, but... I don't really see how. Seems like they're stuck running just another party apparatchik.

...


The liberals in the walls whisper, they say "Trump is gonna install himself as lifelong dictator! Vance will inherit the throne! It's the end of US democracy!!!"

i remember when my grandpa said the dems were gonna crown Obama as king.


And in that case... Dems might actually feel like they have to do a real campaign, rather than just bang the "orange fascist" gong a bunch more.

I keep seeing "peanut the squirrel" next to things about Trump

what

oooh the Silent Majorty stands with us!

yeah, sure

meanwhile, the actual majority is sleeping though this. Just like they sleep through every election cycle. If you could somehow ran on "oh, was that today? I had no idea" you would be the eternal incumbent

Trump is like a character in a TV show who's characterization is 'petty'; you see that character always one-upping, always trying to get the last word in and you think, "yeah, I guess this makes for decent television and it moves the plot along, but nobody is actually that petty. People just don't behave like that."

but this guy, our big wet former president. He actually is television petty for real. McDonald's is his thing. It's what he's known for, he knows the menu better than the cashiers (allegedly). So when he hears Harris worked at a McDonald's at one point in her life, well. This Means War. He has to prove he's the most McDonald's candidate.

And I get this beautiful jpeg. look at it. he looks miserable. the guy in the back office looks pissed. They had to drag a camera and a bunch of secret service guys into this cramped little kitchen that barely has room for two people to pass one another. Amazing.

A bunch of car dealership owners took the week off to rush into lobby of the capital building, then wander about aimlessly waiting for a cutscene to start. What is that, if not funny?

Are gamers really surprised by this?

Suddenly, a lot of the gullibility around "AI" is starting to make more sense.

[-] Wheaties@hexbear.net 82 points 2 years ago

the real trick is to not let them know you've blocked it.

"You can't connect to your game? Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app?"

My kids want to spend real money on a silly gambling game, how do I address this?

By issuing currency, of course!

But he said the launch also raises questions around how Huawei managed to launch the phone when it has spent the past four years under US restrictions banning access to 5G technology. “While access to 5G for the chipset is one thing, I’m not sure how the company managed to source all the other components that need to go into a 5G smartphone, such as power amps, switches and filters,” he said.

Love that America's 21st century cold war is fully predicated on the assumption that China does not have the ability to develop its own productive capacity.

The books will be withheld until academic performance improves.

same backwards insanity as No Child Left Behind;

"We will penalize the under-performing schools by taking their funding and giving it to the schools that are already performing well. This will improve the situation, trust us."
