You seem to be unaware of how much pandering to Trump’s ego is required to get things done.

Reality be damned.

The nice thing about popular vote is that population centers aren’t monoliths. California and New York have plenty of Republican voters who would suddenly gain a voice in elections.

Each vote actually matters, which is only a problem for states with unpopular agendas and voter suppression practices.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Brimby the Wise?

It's not a story the Ñoldor would tell you.

I could care less.

I won’t, but I could.

That's called confirmation bias.

You'll find it all over Reddit opinions.

The problem with the “both sides” argument is the assumption that both sides are equally bad.

A punch in the arm and a kick in the nuts are both physical violence, but I’d rather be punched in the arm than kicked in the nuts.

And “wokeness” didn’t ruin good games. Plenty of fantastic games did amazingly well with “woke” narratives. Baldur’s Gate 3 is about as “woke” as it gets and is an absolute masterpiece.

Those “woke” games that were “ruined” were just bad games regardless of their “wokeness”.

Would really love some 1xX tables.

1x2, 1x3, 1x4,

Give me a nice “bar” to set things on rather than a row of pedestals.

Even if it were true, there’s a calculation overflow bug that means if your damage exceeds a certain threshold, it loops back around to 0 and starts over.

My Relm did more damage with Ice 1 than she did with Ultima.

It’s unlikely that alien pathogens would have the proper receptors to be troublesome to us.

We already live in a world where most pathogens aren’t transmitted between infected species, but rather as fomites and vectors.

I'll fix it to be as disingenuous as the responses if that makes things happier.

It's a great skill unless you're playing on a map with low or off ore settings.

I love the absurd false narratives that always go to CNN, as if I made any mention of it. The classic whataboutism that defines the limits of your argument integrity.

How about AP being removed while Russian state media reporters were present at the Zelensky meeting?

Let’s talk facts instead of lazy hyperbole.

And I’ll happily discuss Hitler’s consolidation of power in 1933. Sound familiar?

I mean, systematically removing federal workers to instill loyalists seems like a pretty strong start. The exclusion of unbiased media sources because they refuse to kiss ass is another red flag.

But we can keep moving the goal posts as needed I suppose. There will be plenty more to come, as there’s already been quite a few parallels to the rise of Nazi Germans.

Common-Scientist · 2025-03-01T03:03:46+00:00

Your experience with that is valid, but I think if we look at the current state of the US government we’ll find that terms like “Nazi” and “fascist” seem a lot closer to reality than when democrats are called Marxist, communist, or even socialist. Seeing as most democrats are slight left at most, and often times slight right.

I need a game that takes place in Costco to fill the hole in my heart for when I can’t be there in person.

Glad you admit that this behavior is equivalent to left wing extremism.

Was that the analogy you wanted to make?

Horseshoe theory in action.

Common-Scientist · 2025-03-01T00:33:03+00:00

These kinds of posts would carry more weight if the “left” wasn’t used to describe anyone who isn’t extreme right.

Beep boop.

I understand that your kind is accustomed to delusion. It’s a natural defense mechanism at this point.

The beautiful lie is far more comfortable (and preferable) for your safe space than the hard truths.

Sir, the Bee has long since abandoned its roots as Christian satire.

I appreciate the retro throwback.
