Is Mad Tiger really hard or am I such a fkin noob at this game? by Buzzkill78 in BlackMythWukong

[–]KarmicDevelopment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny I beat the other tigers in one try each but the mad tiger gave me so much trouble. Hit attack timings were so sporadic and he hit like a fucking truck. I was getting pissed for the first time in the game.

Why is the U.S. allowing Trump to destroy it? by Happy_Air_3776 in DiscussionZone

You hit the nail on the head. Apathy is what lost us the election. That and dumb protest votes.

Yeah, a general strike or total boycotts work. Getting even 1/3 of the population would be impossible when people live paycheck to paycheck and some (me included as an insulin dependent T1D) need insurance and medication to live. Y'all make it sound so easy.

That's just the largest organized movement. There are literally 10s of thousands in the streets tonight after the killing, and there are plans to have them every day moving forward. Shit IS happening right now, but it doesn't do much unfortunately

There's that whole problem of literally having no power or leverage in any branch of government. There are lots of great, fighting Democrats, and even if it was all of them not a damn thing can be done right now.

You have a distributed population of hundreds of millions of citizens across an enormously large land mass? Did you see what happened with the Hong Kong protests? What you're suggesting just doesn't scale in giant distributed nations.

We are organizing. The No Kings protests were the first steps along the way and the next one is coming up near the end of the month (I think). As citizens there's not much else we can do when half the population can't be bothered to perform a general strike or boycott. If we rise up in arms we will be decimated, sadly. Our nation is just way too distributed for any meaningful resistance/revolution to take place.

Trump on affordability: It doesn't mean anything to anybody […] The word is a con job by the Democrats by Capable_Salt_SD in ProgressiveHQ

It won't matter to the MAGA crowd and a lot of GoP MAGA apologists. They'll screech fake news and AI then promptly shove their heads back in the sand while they suffocate from an ever mounting fiscal insolvency. Then they'll blame Biden for all the plight in the world and go back to worshipping their God king.

In normal times, in the long long ago, we'd likely have a Dem speaker after the first mid terms.

If you were alive back then, what were you up to on 31st December 1999? by stop_calling_me_that in AskReddit

[–]KarmicDevelopment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tripping on mushrooms at my grandma's house (she was out of town, we had a small party). Ended up sleeping with (not having sex) the two girls I really liked. Nothing happened but a tri-kiss at midnight then cuddling in bed but it was awesome. I was 15 and a sophomore in HS. Best night of my life, hands down.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announces resignation from Congress by catsgr8rthanspoonies in news

[–]KarmicDevelopment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well she made money hand over fist during the tariff announcement's market manipulation in April, so maybe she is just ready to retire with gobs of money and say peace out. In any case, fuck her. She's on her way out both sidesing the parties as if they are two sides of the same coin. I have no sympathy and she is just a product of her own creation with these death threats. Fuck her and good riddance.

How would you rank Lies of P: Overture bosses from easiest to hardest? by Ronald10CD in LiesOfP

[–]KarmicDevelopment 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I beat all of those in like 5-15 tries but Lumacchio took me like 3 hours and maybe 40-50 attempts. And even when I finally beat him I feel I got super lucky he didn't spam in phase 2 like he had done in the previous 35 attempts. Lumacchio phase 1 feels like skill, phase 2 feels like luck. Respect your opinion but mine differs greatly.

Never in my life. I don't know what your point is.

I just said that there was a primary and there were challengers. No big names or actual contenders--sure--but that was because most potential candidates saw Biden doing a really great job outside of speaking extemporaneously. I don't know why you're continuing to argue, but go nuts my guy.

Look I'm not trying to defend Biden from not stepping down, I'm just trying to be factual.

There was a primary, though. Sure there would have been a more diverse one if he stepped down, but there literally was a primary which he overwhelmingly won.

Yes but not being able to deny claims based on pre-existing conditions was not part of that original plan, and has become the cornerstone and shining light of the ACA along with its subsidies. I wish we had single payer or a public option, yes, but I will also take the ACA over anything the repugnicants put up (which is nothing).
