I would say that everything that is created by Humans, is political, in some way or another. Anyone that says “I’m apolitical”, is paradoxically, taking a political position.

Who cares! If someone calls me “antisemitic” these days, I will even wear that as a proud badge! This is like the story of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”, on steroids!

I don’t get it… she said she would retaliate against Iran, if Iran attacked Israel with a nuclear weapon. This is inline with any nation that has nuclear weapons, mainly for deterrence, since the start of the Cold War. Do I like it? No… But it’s the reality of nuclear weapons existing. The same would happen if Russia attacked any other US ally… And the same would happen if the US attacked any Russia ally. This is why, ultimately, someone will fuck up, and start a chain of events that may lead to Human’s extinction. Because any nation that uses nuclear weapons has a very high chance of getting hit by one, immediately after! This applies to Murica, to Russia, to Israel, Iran, Pakistan, France, or any other nation that has nuclear weapons, and regardless to who is in power.

I honestly don’t understand what is the value of this “gotcha” sort of post. Is the OP not aware of how nuclear weapons are used for deterrence purposes? I can assure you, this would happen with whichever POTUS would be in power, even if (and specially if) it was Bernie! Are people forgetting how emotionally tied Bernie is to Israel, and that only after much push back, was he wiling to denounce Israel, when some other of his colleagues in the Senate had already done?

Hillary has said far more dumb shit recently, like for example, accusing younger folks of being radicalized against Israel by Tik Tok, simply because they are pro-Palestinian, with complete disregard to uncontestable historical facts. I see no value in this post.

This is the way.

Space, the final frontier, to boldly go where no fart has gone before…

I find it too creepy… can’t stand looking at it. It’s like the love child of Chucky and M3GAN, turned into a cheap inflatable sex doll. It’s nightmare fuel, if you ask me!

I’m sure they will somehow, implicate Joe Binder in it.

The legality of ANYTHING, is subject to local jurisdiction, in this case it will be in EU/Italy. Also, while emulators may not be illegal, copying ROMs that are copyrighted to Nintendo of whichever may be the company that published said ROM, are.

She only released a message later on, after the huge backlash she received, for the interview she gave. She stated she would not endorse any party but would vote for Harris. I don’t have any issue if she is not endorsing anyone, she has no obligation to. But considering she’s a role model and an idol for many in the LGBTQ+ community and specially trans folks, I found her “both sides” comment idiotically stupid and cognitively dissonant. That’s what pissed me off. Now, LGBTQ+ folks, are seeing the result of that “bothsidism”.

Also why I kinda disconnected myself from US politics… I look at memes, laugh and that’s it! I no longer have the mental bandwidth to have discussions with people that think that defending such comments are in any way conductive to progress their own rights.

Yes I agree with you… Can’t tell you how much I have argued with my fellow members in the LGBTQ+ community over the dumbass comments Chapell Roan or whatever is her name made just prior to the election. I think there are certainly reasons to why democrats should be criticized, but the “bothsidism” is just a false equivalence.

Well, ofc on some occasions I might watch a video to better understand something specific, but that’s really the last resort, as I prefer to play the game myself. I still don’t understand your argument, because unless you are watching a heavily edited video, you still need to watch all the “grinding”. I also find grinding enjoyable… it falls under the obsessive compulsive in me., so I just rather grind myself! =)

Yes, absolutely, and they are right, in the sense that it is a good plan to achieve their goals, along with blocking education to people! Because not only people have a very short memory, but most are ignorant and lack education to make an informed choice that benefits them.

My fraternal grandmother, even after the dictatorship ended, continued to praise the oppressive regime, until she died, and she was barely literate! And this is one of the reasons to why I believe that US citizens really need to understand what it means to lose their freedoms and liberties. Because at least, those who just have a short memory, will remember more easily… The uneducated ones, or the fundamentalist evangelist zealots… those are a lost cause!

There are already reports, that the literacy rating is declining in the US, on both adults and children. I think it’s pretty clear what this will lead to… And you know why am so fucking exhausted? Because I also think that the left in the US is responsible for your current situation. If Trump was never elected in 2016, that would have served as a rebuke to Trumpism and to the erosion of political norms… The republicans would continue to be republicans, but not sycophants that enabled their party to turn into a cult!

And at least from my personal perspective, I went above and beyond to try to convince the Americans friends I had online, to not get complacent! At the time, I ran a website that was dedicated mostly to a gay community, and around 50% of the users were from the US. The site had around 300k users, and I made a post appealing to every American on the site to please go vote, and tried to, with little to no success, convince the guys I was closer to, to please vote on Hillary. I’m not sure I was able to breakthrough, and many of them, sometimes would even reply to me aggressively, that they would never vote for Hillary.

I’m a progressive… I would have loved to see Bernie get nominated in the primary, but sadly, that didn’t happened… And even Bernie, also ended up endorsing Hillary. And I’m tired of hearing Americans blaming exclusively the Democrats when they, who have the power to vote, decline any responsibility on the matter. Everyone is to be blamed, from top to bottom. So yes… I’m exhausted because the progressive left in the US, is aiming for the Moon, and ends up shooting their own foot, and fuck the rest of the world in the process! Aim lower… AIM LOCAL! I know you guys have that stupid law that parties can only receive funds for campaign if they have at least get 5% of the votes in the preceding election, and above that you have the electoral college. It’s all fucked up! So you either start doing it slowly, and locally first, so you can very slowly put more and more progressives in government, or if you’re waiting to suddenly reach Mars like Elon, you will fail MISERABLY! And now, you are seeing the consequences of that failure.

Again, I’m sorry for the long long “rant”, but I’ve tried to help as much as I possibly could, and it makes me sad to see this happening, also because, the rise of right-wing all around the world, and specially in Europe, was also propelled by the immense cultural power and reach the US has. Even things we did not used to have like vaccine hesitancy, or crazy conspiracies like “the Moon landing is fake”, have now become part of the daily discourse in here, when this was absolutely never an issue before. The US political propaganda, on the Internet, not only it affected the US, but it has also affected Europe. Brexit was also result of that.

I hope people understand why it’s also very exhausting to everyone else, even when not being a US citizen. We are suffering the consequences of your (in)actions, and without any power to turn the tide.

Again, good luck to everyone, we are going to need it!

No. If I want a walkthrough I search for some written article. I don’t even understand the point of seeing other ppl playing games, that was always something that confused me.

Yeah that analogy is a pretty shitty one. There are legitimate reasons to be skeptical about UFOs/UAPs/Flying Saucers, or whatever you want to call them, even if I do not believe in batshit crazy conspiracies related to them. There are no reasons to believe that Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy can be real, that is just folklore.

Shocking that someone like him, would do such a ill-conceived analogy, even if anyone considers that in modern society, alien shit can be considered folklore, it is still very much within the realm of possibility.

Well, you have no reason to apologize, at this point, everyone is just speculating. However, I think the only reasonable and logical explanation, is that Stephen King is somehow, involved. He never was in any capacity or position to know everything in the case in detail. So he’s either lying about his certainty and knowledge, or he is involved, no other inference can be made.

If your butthole looks like a spiral, I’m sorry for your condition, and hope you get better soon. Thoughts and prayers!

I’m not going as far as saying that all are “protecting pedophiles” and I am usually very critical of the “both sides” argument, but in this case, we have evidence that “both sides” have at least connections with Epstein, with names showing in logs of the so called “Lolita Express”. I think that there is no doubt that in this case, people with connections with “both sides” of the US political spectrum, may be on the line here, and at the very least were complicit in turning a blind eye, which is not as egregious as actively hide, but still morally reprehensible!

I’ve seen that one oh so many times!!! Heidi breaking character is as funny as Mike Day.

I’ll have to check it out then, thanks for the suggestion! ♥

I do love Conan. But he only has a podcast now, right? I loved those bits about “Fan Corrections”! LOL
