I hope not. Hopefully if Trump loses again his supporters will finally give up on him and just move on with their lives

lol we know thats not gonna happen.

I mean you'll recall on Jan 6th when proper law enforcement was mobilized that's exactly what happened

The reason it was not mobilized sooner was directly due to Trump's power as president at the time.

Biden/Harris would not be so hesitant

And even if we manage to avoid Trump we're left with Biden.

Seems like he's done a good enough job the last 4 years

and a worse version of Jan. 6 takes place

this doesn't have to be how it shakes out

Who is asking for a game like that.

this is always the stupidest piece of media criticism

Like, living in a house or apartment with carpeted floors

It's all hardwood this and that nowadays

it's almost as if people that aren't fascists don't like fascism or something wow isn't that a crazy revelation

(it will take republicans several years after Trump dies to realize this)

they're gonna be campaigning on Trump for decades to come

Hell Reagan's been pushing daisies for 20 years now and they still don't shut up about him

I think there's a few new IPs that were planned to launch this year, so we'll probably see those

Are people really trying to use this as evidence that Biden will win in November?

Polls consistently show that Pennsylvania is among the best swing states for Biden. But Biden is losing to Trump in: Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada and Georgia.

The only poll that matters is the one on election day

Wait Matt Gaetz has a wife?

I thought... yknow because of Nestor that he...

Ah well it doesn't matter

Barbara Lee is a jackass, but not so much for this

The Holdovers made the list

Man's got good taste

Conservatives formed the "silent majority" starting with the Nixon years and stretching through the 1980s. They had a solid lock on most cultural/social issues in this period.

However, since the 90s, they're slipping. They have a hard time winning elections nationally, as the internet/social media spread, their hold on the culture loosened, the fact that places that usually skew conservatives (more rural-based communities) got absolutely gutted by free trade and the 08 recession, then mix in 20-30 years of radicalization from 24 hour media like Fox and viola

Dolomedes and Lost all senses bailed and are on discord among a few others that left here.

where is this discord

SkittyOnWailord posted...

Yes, but is the decline of malarkey a good or bad thing? Give me the deets.

Malarkey is bad

The Trump years were full of malarkey

SkittyOnWailord posted...

I'm confused. Would Biden winning make more or less malarkey than we currently have?

You can clearly see on the graph that since 2021 there's been a steep decline in the level of malarkey nationwide

The graph doesn't lie

Don't get Wings started I put him on ignore because of his rabid Palworld nonsense

Wings isn't a bad guy but he's the sort who gets very obsessed with one particular subject at a time and if someone doesn't match or questions his excitement in that subject he's prone to lashing out

WingsOfGood posted...

ok?

so non-story then?

relax dude, people talk about things. it's fine lol

WingsOfGood posted...

wow you guys are

SALT TEEEEEEE

I mean great for the devs and people who are still into it, but anyone could've predicted that there would be a drop

There's probably going to be a further drop and a sizable chunk of people won't come back

Doesn't mean it's a bad game, but it's how these things tend to go with early access games

NoxObscuras posted...

Disagree. The bones of the game are good. It's going to have staying power.

The amount of times and the amount of games I've heard this said

I mean I said when it blew up that this would happen. It's very much a "flavor of the week" kind of game.

Yeah and there should be term limits for Congress

There's already term limits. They're called "elections".

Legislative term limits are one of those things that makes you feel good when you talk about it, but they're really not good when you game it out

I thought it was fake.

That was so fucking pathetic of him lol

DarthAragorn posted...

I've always wanted to watch one of those because there's plenty of good parts to the Hobbit movies but there's so many garbage parts in between them

Martin Freeman was a great pick

I highly recommend the M4 cut

All the best parts of those films with none of the fluff.

With the added benefit of focusing more intently on Bilbo and the Dwarves

Enclave posted...

It's called the Tolkien cut as I recall.

This one was specifically called M4's The Book Cut

The Tolkien Cut is I think a slightly different, older version

I'm opposed to it for the same reason I'm opposed to term limits.

Voter turnout hovers around 50%-60% at best. Which is absolutely ridiculous.

If voters care enough about this shit then they can bloody well go out and vote the bastards out.

Some editor cut the trilogy into a single 4 hour film. They did some own custom CGI and scene construction to make everything flow more seamlessly

It was tremendous. Easily the definitive version of that story in film, and I'd put it equal with the LotR films.

The M4 Edit, it was; I believe.

No Tauriel, almost no Azog, almost no Bolg, less annoying shout outs to the LotR trilogy, less Lake Town crap.

CE has no truly new users in 2024 lol

Randomly thought of some of the people who used to breeze around here a while ago but who haven't showed up in years.

XciteMe - Dunno what happened to him
Homepork - He probably just got sick of folks poking fun at him
Quackers_Mcduck - Dude would say "quack" at the end of every single post. "I'm not moving, my family fought and died for this country quack"
Nightmaker80 - I think he actually popped around a while ago to give an update. Ended up having a pretty nice interaction w him.

Why didnt they make a good show from the beginning

Iirc they changed the showrunner and writers this season.

They clearly hired the wrong people last season

s0nicfan posted...

Does it seem like it's going in a direction where eventually the prevailing wisdom will be to tell people interested in the show to just skip season 1 and start on season 2? Or is season 2 still being dragged down by all the season one stuff it has to acknowledge?

There's narrative threads that pick up in S2 so at the very least you would need to watch a recap/summary if you wanted to skip S1

Fucking validate me /ce/

Jupiter posted...

That isn't a problem for people who still have a normal, healthy social life outside of work though. And your last point is a good point, but there are definitely plenty of fields where it's not necessary.

True, but maybe it's just because I'm a naturally extroverted kinda guy, but even though I have a pretty active social life, staying at home like that still strikes me as a bit too isolating.

I mean it helps that I genuinely get along really well with my boss and coworkers.

Murphiroth posted...

To each their own, I say. WFH is far superior in my opinion. I have so much more free time now that I don't have to get ready or commute.

Eh that's fair. I live in a city where I can be just about anywhere in a 15-20 minute drive. I imagine if I lived in a bigger city with a longer/more stressful commute maybe I'd have a different view on things.

CyricZ posted...

My home is full of distracting toys. I can rarely get any work done there.

Yep. My attention span is awful already. Being able to open steam while trying to work is a disaster waiting to happen.

It just kinda fits into a broader trend of stuff since the pandemic with meal/grocery delivery and stuff where the attitude is "why would I go out when it's more convenient for me to just stay at home and remote in or have my things delivered to me?"

Like just staying at home all the time is not very healthy, even if it's more convenient. People need the socialization in their lives.

Not that like "HEY YOU NEED GO GROCERY SHOPPING YOU MIGHT MAKE SOME FRIENDS" but like, being present in the outside world and having genuine face-to-face interactions even if they're mundane is good for you.

Big thing in news lately is the "loneliness epidemic". I feel like this shit is a pretty big contributing factor. Impossible to make connections with your community and the people around you when everyone is able to just close themselves off.

Like I did some remote work/work from home over the lockdowns, and got my groceries and stuff delivered and I wanted to yank my hair out after the first couple of weeks. I can't fathom doing that for the rest of my career.

Plus depending on the field you work in, especially if it's collaborative in nature, I feel like not being in a shared physical space with coworkers would be a hindrance.

Anyway

to never get progressive policy through

Did you vote in the Democratic primary in 2020?

Do you vote in your local primaries/general races?

Or the first two episodes of season 2, rather.

And they're a very big step above any episodes in S1 (which I didn't hate as much as others, but it was still not very good lol)

The Spartans have actual personality

Master Chief does Master Chief things

The Halo music is now actually in the show

The writing is a lot tighter

The Covenant are actually threatening

Visually, the show also looks a lot more competently made than the previous season.

but guys they watch One Piece, they're so cool

If you're a democrat who wants them to win, you should be pushing for Biden to step down.

He hasn't got a prayer.

I'm sure Coke is giving advice to Pepsi in good faith

No thanks I'm busy doing literally anything else right now

Two possibilities;

the border is in the news a ton so Mexico was on the brain

President Sisi's nickname is "The Mexican" so that was where the association came from

"My memory is so bad I let you speak" was pretty damn good actually lol
