  • We know Trump is a liar.

    Biden had to prove he wasn’t feeble… and he failed at that.

    Voting for Biden and his administration is still 100% the correct decision, but that debate isn’t going to convince any swing voters. If you want to use the incumbency advantage you need to convince folks you can stay the course for the next 4 years.


  • You know who just had the opportunity to focus on what Trump did (and is doing) wrong and flubbed it? Biden.

    A vote for Biden is the easiest decision I’ll make this year. Biden and his administration are doing solid work and I want to see more of it. Trump ensures genocide in Gaza. Trump ensures even more horrible acts in Ukraine by Russia. Trump ensures an even further conservative Supreme Court, further destroying and reversing settled law. Another 4 years of Trump will be a disaster.

    But I know this already.

    Any other generic Democrat would have kicked Trump’s ass last night. Trump tells a lie, they correct it. Biden got a few blows in but he flubbed so many more.

    Look at abortion, a layup for Democrats. America as a whole agrees with Democrats on the issue. What did Biden do? Fumbled and wandered into something about immigration.

    The focus on Biden because we want better. Biden is better. Prove it.








  • I guess if we get new games in the long run I don’t really mind, it just seems weird.

    I played Yooka-Laylee on release and it was overall an enjoyable game. As I understand they fixed a number of bugs a few months after release, but by then us release day folks had beaten it (and reviewers reviewed it).

    The first level of the game was excellent, the later levels felt more rushed (or at least lacking the same level of polish). Maybe the changes will be to those levels, although level layout is key so I don’t know if you can just resize/move things.

    I played Impossible Lair about a year after release and thought it was awesome.

    Based on this trailer I doubt I’ll play the original again, but maybe I can be convinced.



  • You’re allowed to criticize Biden and the Democratic Party.

    Without a doubt voting for Trump is the biggest mistake anyone can make. It you’re not happy about the Israel situation Trump is the worst person to solve it. Trump’s answer is “kill them all” and with no regard for innocent lives, children or civilians. It’s continued genocide and it is not acceptable. Trump can’t be reasoned with because he isn’t a reasonable person.

    Biden and the Democratic Party, that’s the answer. However it’s stupid to ignore the millions in money that have come their way. Biden and Democrats aren’t perfect, far from it. But they are reasonable, they can be reasoned with.

    No single individual or single election is going to solve all our problems. It’s a long process. Biden has done plenty of good, as have Democrats. But Biden and Democrats can do better.






  • Obviously I don’t know what the details of he suit against Disney but the truth is Disney fucked up and they knew it.

    Disney tried to gain a few extra bucks at the cost of a legal battle with Johansson. If Disney won it would have been a clear signal that Disney is willing to screw over top talent for a few million dollars.

    Not to compare “Black Widow” to “Endgame”, but that’s squabbling over millions when billions are at stake.

    Looking at someone like Johansson that’s squabbling over millions when tens of hundreds millions are at stake. Contracts with top talent now take longer, top talent is a little less likely to work with Disney.

    It all but guaranteed a loss for Disney.

    The settlement was Disney’s way of saying “we fucked up”, and truth be told was probably at least partially responsible for Bob Chapek being replaced as CEO.



  • They really aren’t. Honestly most banks don’t care what “illegal” things you do as long as you give them plausible deniability.

    If you cause the bank more problems than you do bringing them in money, then they’re more likely to ban you. Even in this example they’re stating that you shouldn’t use these words, just that they are required to investigate these words.

    Also if they genuinely thought you were performing illegal activities they wouldn’t tell you, they would had it off to the proper cover your ass department.

    That being said, don’t actually test what words bank monitor, since, as I mentioned, if you’re a pain in the ass on purpose they’ll probably drop you, or at the very least freeze funds for a long time.
