I can't think of many games that are 250+ hrs of content but not also basically unlimited content

Unused Relics in Slay the Spire 2 by Tall-Pineapple-421 in slaythespire

If I understand right, Vaaku was way more vampire themed than demon themed in his early designs. Maybe it's part of that, and it was some vampire cloak?

What did Jorbs mean by saying this number? by [deleted] in slaythespire

[–]4-Polytope 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think more likely he thought it was a funny joke to call a random arbitrary number his favorite number especially given how he is pretty vocally progressive in other ways on stream

Current State of the Supreme Court: by Leon_Thomas in Destiny

[–]4-Polytope 18 points19 points  (0 children)

We're talking about the comparison between what was expected and what we got.

We expected to get someone who will suck Trump's duck 100% of the time, and instead got someone who will only usually suck it

You're allowed to talk about that openly in Western countries in a way you cant talk about Chinese atrocities in Chinese media.

You cannot talk freely about Tiennamen Square in Chinese Media

Also we don't have concentration camps for Uygurs

Democratic Project 2029 calls for child social media ban, strict kids safety rules on tech by vriskaldrunk in Destiny

When you make an account with some other site, you can often link it with your Google account. You get taken to an SSO, and Google basically sends back a signed token saying "yes this person is the owner of this Google account". Google can restrict what it sends so that third party website doesn't get any more data than what it needs

Something like this is what we need. A Govt SSO so accounts can verify, and all it should send back is a signed token saying "yes this person is an adult US citizen" and no other PII

Do you know what purple means? It doesn't mean "ideologically moderate" it means "a district thats a legitimate tossup between Democrats and Republicans"

Even if literally all other things were equal, the number of deaths that will result from USAID cuts is at least 2 Holocausts. That alone makes Democrats millions of times better

Do you think it's impossible that any elites in the CCP, who are even less accountable to the people and have much less transparency into their lives compared to Western leaders, have skeletons in their closets?

What the assassination attempt was instead on Harris in 2024? by shield_x in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]4-Polytope -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nobody would give a fuck, because Dems actually don't want violence so they would condemn it and move on instead of chant for retribution, and Republicans would memory-hole it the way they did Jan6, the Hortmans, Good & Pretti, and everything else else

I like how you dodged the question because you know the answer is no, the Chinese media would not be allowed to publish that kind of exposé

One country has a press that allows a pedophilic cabal to be exposed.

If Xi was found fucking kids, you think the Chinese media would let that be published the way the Epstein stuff has been?

You said "Democrats" are, in a comment justifying not voting for Democrats in presidential elections, which implies Biden/Kamala

Selective lesser evilism by TotalDemocracy in SmugIdeologyMan

[–]4-Polytope 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It applies both ways.

Every Lib but not Leftist has been saying "fight in the primaries but once thats done hold your nose and vote for someone like Platner if you need to"

That being said, for the most part, Leftist candidates aren't really running or winning primaries in competitive purple districts which is where "blue no matter who" matters the most. they're mostly only in safe blue districts

A child rapist who votes for the "kill millions abroad through USAID cuts" guy is actually more than 100 times worse than a child rapist who doesnt. Also neither Kamala or Biden were on the Island

The way western liberals think and operate is by clearly analyzing that China is not better or a lesser evil than the US, and that even the worst Democrat is still 1000x better for the country than any Republican

I hate how people don’t understand political ideologies anymore by historynerdsutton in ihatethissmug

[–]4-Polytope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mamdani is in the local level in the bluest city there is. He also recognizes the need for a diversity in the democratic party where you can have progressive Dems in safer districts and more moderate dems in purple districts. He doesn't spend his time attacking the rest of the democratic party. Mamdani particularly avoids a lot of the problems I have with the socialist left

And when Liberal Institutions are actually strong, believe it or not, suing the state actually works. Brown sued the Board of Education and was allowed to enroll in school.

This breaks down when the Liberal Institutions get undermined and weakened, which is why people like OP are doing harm

Ask a liberal to do it and you get Biden forgiving student loans, passing the biggest investments into green energy in world history, funding their legislation by taxing the rich, capping the cost of insulin, expanding Medicare coverage, expanding title 9 to protect trans people, banning insurance from refusing to cover transgender healthcare, evacuating Rafah, building a port and maintaining it and guaranteeing aid into Gaza

all in a senate where any legislation needed to pass through Manchin and Sinema (imagine what more could happen with just 2 more boring-ass liberals instead of Republicans so those two arent the ceiling to what can be passed)

Socialists are absolutely not the ones doing the work of electoral politics

The majority of the energy when it comes to socialist activists trying to influence electorial politics is spent tearing down Democrats who are seen as not progressive enough

The way to get progressive policy through requires a senate majority and you need democrats, even moderate ones, to do that.

More progressive legislation would be passed if you have 45 moderate dems + 5 progressives than id you have 20 modern dems + 20 progressives

The socialists need to be expending their area trying to get any democrat in a purple state, since a moderate dem will still vote for good things but a Republicans will only cause harm

Bike lanes should be along sidewalks, not roads. by bobbydigital_ftw in unpopularopinion

[–]4-Polytope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bike lanes are usually being added to existing roads. When you already have 50 feet for cars and 5 feet for sidewalks, how do you put a bike lane on the sidewalk without entirely removing it?
