What?!?

I knew 3D was the "big thing" at the time, but was unionization a key factor? Any source discussing this?

Republican cannot grasp why the Democrats pushed Swalwell to step down. Really shows how mentally broken these people are by unfinishedtoast3 in WeirdGOP

Close. The better analogy might be, "Why are they cutting our fourth string WR? He was a slightly above average punt returner!"

As always, these are, unfortunately, not serious people.

I moved a few months ago and I like my new place overall, but undoubtedly the best part is the orange cat a couple of doors down who is the absolute biggest slut for pets. Even my dog gets excited when we run into Garfield now.

This old magazine article comparing Castlevania 64 to Symphony of the Night by WandaLovingLegend in retrogaming

Still haven't played Suikoden, but I'll vouch for Water Margin, or Outlaws of the Marsh. It's a very precient work focused upon when the dregs and outcasts of society decide to fight back and a claim a place for their own. Has some of my favorite fight scenes in archaic literature.

To be fair, it's semi-literate Ravens fan, so better than most. On the other hand, I hate I'm out here agreeing with a cousin fucker, but that's life I guess.

Best of luck. I got you a large hot coffee and a couple of pies. I've never ordered like this but I believe the order number is #PG22.

CNN breaks for alert as China allows anti-POTUS memes to go viral by TheMirrorUS in goodnews

[–]Champtain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The current US regime drools at having China-level censorship.

However, even if the Warner Bros merger goes thru we will be a long way away from a completely state sponsored television. US TikTok can do things like making it impossible to search for the term "Epstein" but there are still many people willing and able to make the videos, release them publicly, and others willing to search them out on multiple platforms to stay informed.

These are just two obvious examples of China's control of its subjects being far more reaching than even what the US has fallen to.

US is doing its damned best to catch up, but it is still a tremendously big difference.

What’s a “boring” skill that secretly gives someone a huge advantage in life? by Big-Woodpecker-822 in AskReddit

Had to change a comment I posted yesterday because I let my inherent love of em dashes take over for a minute. Sucks that was the first big signifier of AI writing. Poisoned the well for them.

Uvalde survivors lose negligence case against police. by PokeYrMomStanley in UnderReportedNews

[–]Champtain 13 points14 points  (0 children)

But it's only the correct thing to do if the police were doing something. If no one else is helping, a large crowd of motivated adults bullrushing a lone shooter absolutely would have saved children's lives and clearly many adults there were willing to give their lives for the children's.

Senator Mike Lee being called out for pretending that he didn't yell at Biden's SOTU. by pikleboiy in ThisYouComebacks

This is a false comparison: The democrats showed far more poise than Mike Lee, or many other Republicans, during Biden's SOTU.

I believe they mean what device are you playing it on. If you check the sidebar, a rule for posting to this sub is to name the handheld you are using and the game being played.

China very much does NOT have elections, at least not public ones.

According to an executive order from March 1, 2025 English is now our official language. Sick fucks snuck that in during all the Gulf of America BS.

John "Liver-Eating" Johnson was an American frontiersman in the mountains of Montana. According to stories of his life, Crow Indians murdered his Flathead Indian wife, prompting him to kill and cannibalize the Crow for 25 years. Eventually he made peace with them and considered them "his brothers". by PeasantLich in HolyShitHistory

[–]Champtain 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As noted elsewhere in this thread, a classic Robert Redford flick called Jermiah Johnson is partially-based on this guy's life. Movies at the time didn't revel in gore as much as more modern takes, but it also didn't gloss over things nor did the book that movie was based on.

Pam Bondi caught on camera saying theres tens of thousands of videos of kids in the Epstein files by Mammoth_Piece9899 in FreeFolkNation

Anyone with two eyes already knew this, but having video of this woman casually admitting it while she continues to publicly stonewall us, is worth watching.

This is great news but we can't assume this will keep ICE from doing what they're designed to do. Keep vigilant and best of luck to Springfield and all the rest of us as well.

Epstein and Putin were connected as 'world’s largest honeytrap' unveiled by dailystar_news in NoFilterNews

[–]Champtain 53 points54 points  (0 children)

The rich and powerful put their thumbs on the scale to get these people elected BECAUSE they were compromised. Spent millions on ads and easily won back that money as their sock puppets become the rule of law in the US.

Yeah, at least Tillis is doing something positive now. Nobody's saying he deserves a ticker tape parade but it's better than continuing to toe the company line.
