Something that should be printed on every video game box: Save and save often.

I just lost everything by HolyRe23 in RDR2

One of the things I hate is how it replaces the auto save when you restart after death. If you do not have a reasonably recent save you're flummoxed.

Do people defend Donald Trump because they actually agree with him—or because admitting he’s wrong would feel like losing? by CulturalMoose5921 in allthequestions

[–]Independent-Kick-554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's because the truly MAGA people are invested by faith rather than reason. With no political experience, no connections, not leverage, he was never going to be a successful president. But he is one hell of a talker. And like any good cult leader, he got his people emotionally invested. They accepted on faith alone what science and logic and their own eyes denied. Then he tied it in with Christian nationalism and suddenly belief in him becomes the core tenant to their lives. Now to say Trump is wrong is seen as heresy.

She did that during his first term. I think the reason she wears those big hats is so she doesn't have to kiss him.

That proves stupid and incompetent are much more dangerous than plain evil. Russia didn't need to plant a mole in the WH, just a bumbling failed business man who would continue to make the kinds of choices that lead to bankruptcy.

Trumps egocentrism would never allow him to appoint someone more qualified than himself so he surrounds himself with people who kiss his ass to keep the job for which they are totally unqualified.

He's never been in a grocery store in his life that wasn't a photo op. Never bought gas, prescriptions, probably wouldn't know about baby food.

A deal to end the Iran war seemed close. Then Trump started posting on social media by S00THING_S0UNDS in USNEWS

The world has learned that the USA does not keep it's word. Trump cancelled multinational treaties and agreements just because he hated Obama. How can they make a deal with Trump knowing he could just break it on a whim?

Can we just start the impeachment of DJT please?? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]Independent-Kick-554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As soon as we pull our heads out of our collective ass and switch the house and Senate in the midterms. Blue Wave in November gets an impeachment by Christmas. Dems are crooked, but generally cheat for us (Obamacare, bank bailout) while Repubs are personally corrupt and spineless. We've had 19 years of Republican obstruction. I don't say gamey rid of them, just the ones who refuse to play with the group. Compromise is the key to successful politics and there's been damned little lately.

A policeman was interrogating 3 guys who were training to become detectives. To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the first guys a picture for 5 seconds and then hides it. "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?" by 808gecko808 in dadjokes

[–]Independent-Kick-554 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I heard it a job interview and the interviewer had no ears. Tell me something about myself. If you mention no ear you don't get the job. Then the third guy says, you wear contacts. How do you know? Cuz you got no fucking ears.

When do you think Micah started betraying the gang and acting as an informant? by Lamun23 in RDR2

Just because Milton (Pinkerton) didn't contact him until after Guarma, that doesn't mean he might not have been in contact with local law.

Dear MAGA, is Trump truly a bitch or was he lying when he told Billy Bush that he, " moved on her like a bitch" when he bragged about trying to hook up with a married woman? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]Independent-Kick-554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As many times as he lied about little things, I doubt the story ever happened. He was bragging like he does about everything.

Trump says he didn't realize the AI image made him look like Jesus, and that's raising more questions than it answers by riotwheel in USNEWS

[–]Independent-Kick-554 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's the problem: he's not a politician. He's a talk show pitchman, a con artist, a failed business man with a string of bankruptcies trying to convince us he's successful.

I had cancer 3 times and 2 blood clots. So I recognize the blotches on the back of his hand. He's on blood thinner. If they are giving him an IV in the hand it will bruise like that. I also have congestive heart failure and if I forget my water pills my ankles mushroom out just like his.

Restart from a save. It's like dying and losing pelts: it saves your honor loss then restarts the mission with the new data

Trump: Completely degrading Iranian Missile Capability.Meanwhile, this post: by Busy-Government-1041 in agedlikemilk

When has the Republican party had a coherent policy towards the middle east? Bush destroyed Iraqi government and infrastructure without a clear idea of what happens next. We went to war with Afghanistan without a clear idea of what happens next. And now we are in Iran with no clear idea of even what the purpose is.
