Not defending his honor or anything but in the interest of fairness since I don’t believe he has an account here

do you honestly think any of these are getting made because they suddenly had great and creative ideas for all of them at once or is it more likely that it was simply because they know they will make money
we already know for sure that a legislature can function with at LEAST 720 people so it really is a no brainer
that being said I think the system through which we elect our representatives matters just as much as how many there are
ah yes, the top three dem candidates are
- the actual frontrunner
- a candidate who has ditched every event except the dem convention and has been tanking since november
- a candidate who has never polled above 3%
how do people like this exist
man the internals for this race have been particularly bad, why do they bother with this? do they think people will actually fall for it
don't count ahmad hassan out yet
I think learning more about a piece of media after it’s out and part of the public consciousness is completely normal and also enhances rewatches. much better imo to watch a movie with two completely different sets of eyes
I watch trailers until I’ve decided I’m going to see the movie and then I actively avoid everything I can
I don't see how threatening China with military force could be interpreted as anything other than being the world police. Plenty of wars have been waged in the name of peace.
America acting as the world police has been bad for the world
I do not anticipate that the Greens will run in seats that are currently held by YP members or affiliates
so we're approaching a nazi singularity
the fact that this race has fully devolved into a straight up race war at this point is so disheartening
absolutely yes, because rcv corrals them automatically, no effort required. the very fact that they have to think beyond showing up and voting for who they like is a major hurdle
you do not jump from 1% to 32% in a race where voters are conscious of the spoiler effect
very different electoral system that was explicitly approved for the sake of allowing things like this to happen, whereas ours is arguably even worse than standard primaries for it
mahan has pretty openly been courting republican support and got handed several layups in the debate by hilton so somehow I don't think his motivations are aligned with the other 3%ers
filing deadline is on march 6th, and the voter info guide is mailed out on april 23rd. I don't know if the last date to drop out aligns with the filing deadline, but regardless there is very little time left before they have to start printing
was referring to you specifically lol, “well what are they supposed to do” is not being mad at discord and if you pretend to be mad while saying it it’s performative
I don't know when public opinion shifted to "actually just do whatever authoritarian governments say". I remember when people used to get mad at twitter for banning accounts that the indian government told them to or whatever, so idk when everyone decided that caving to regimes was acceptable
hot take but even just from a business perspective it’s probably worth it to take the financial hit from losing those users if it means not losing everyone else in protest
like, do the newgrounds method to get some of them in the door, and for the rest just say “sorry, use a vpn”
damn so you’re saying this isn’t my big break huh
charging $20 per language is pretty absurd but if it was an all in one package I would agree
he is a chameleon whose position on every one of those issues will change as soon as it’s convenient (he did not believe in any of it when he ran for president bc he thought he had to moderate for iowa and nh)
and yet, he’s still the best option because there are zero even faux-progressives running
Seal: “I couldn’t be happier. Seals and bears finally live in peace with each other.”
so what I’m hearing is that you hate america and want 2 terms of president vance 🤔🤔
bottom right fooled me for a sec lmao
insane how smooth this feels compared to vanilla. plays like comtress, it's nuts
I know this misses the point a little but I do think the lack of weapons is p limiting on some classes, particularly medic (the syringe gun is very easily the worst stock weapon so to have no alternative is brutal)
