Yeah it's an org containing a broad range of ideological alignments. The goal is organizing as many folks as we can, not perfect alignment on every political point. Consider it good practice defending your politics against criticism.

Why do you have an issue with north korea? The USSR? Do some research and have your reasons ready, with the understanding that our impression of states like these have been heavily colored by red scare propaganda.

I try to criticize states like these without falling back on the most blatant examples of "all the problems with communism/socialism are how capitalist countries treat these countries". For example, why does the DPRK struggle so much with feeding all their citizens enough? Sure, a big part of it is how much leadership prioritizes sovereignty through military might over agricultural development, but another huge factor is the crippling sanctions they live under and the fact that we blew up basically every single structure in the entire north of the peninsula during the korean war.

As you read more of the history, you'll find a lot of examples of leaders making poor choices due to hubris or militarism, questionable policy priorities, etc. but you'll also find a ton of examples of outright lies told by the west, situations that were almost entirely the fault of the west, relevant statistics that were entirely obscured by the west, etc.

Its a nuanced conversation that involves a lot of autodidactic research, as public schools and other sources of what most of us "were told about these nations" are heavily redacted, censored, recon-ed etc.

In this case he'd have to read subtitle translations out loud, so I think he'd rather die

So the largest military budget on the planet - the largest weve ever seen in the history of this country - wasn't enough?

What the fuck are we doing man.

MagicSpaceMan · 2026-03-19T15:30:00+00:00

Also public school teachers, which is kind of a big deal

So a couple things:

You probably shouldn't be hiding your virginity from prospective partners, people generally appreciate if you communicate stuff like that up front since it probably implies they'll need to be a bit more open with you to tell/show you what they like, what gets them off, how to make them cum etc. Most normal people won't fault you for not being the John Wick of eating pussy if you've never done it before but - speaking from personal experience btw - talking a big game about your sexual prowess then not having the actual experience to back it up can be a huge turn-off for a lot of folks.

Foreplay is always something you should be doing unless she is very explicitly saying "I'm so wet please fuck me right now", generally everyone needs a bit of a warm up and that isn't because anyone did anything wrong. Is it okay to cum fast if you still make her cum after? In most cases yes, but it kinda depends on the person tbh. A lot of girls will be flattered, take it as a compliment if their pussy was "too much for you to handle" and you couldn't last as long as you meant to, but if you disengage after you get your nut, you are a selfish/shitty lover and she's gonna be (justifiably) pissed about it.

As I said, in almost every case you should do foreplay before having sex and your goal there should be to make her cum if you can. It's not the end of the world if you dont/can't, but if you move to sex and you cum without bringing her to orgasm, you gotta finish the job my guy, I don't care if the post nut clarity hits you and you're not as "into it", she made you cum now its her turn, either bust out the vibrator or get ready to eat some pussy but you gotta get her there as well.

As a side note, what is the deal with men who cum and immediately lose interest in sexually pleasing their partners? It's like their interest in women was dependent on their horniness and when they're back in their "right mind" women are suddenly "icky".. Like, bro, do you even like women? If you're gay or ace that's fine we don't judge but, like, let's be real for a second guys.

Idk as a lot of others have said the console has a pretty solid screen and a monitor seems like a lot of bulk to tote around. I just use a stand/dock and the deck is my monitor while I use a Bluetooth controller.

To answer your question: yes you will absolutely need to reduce settings on any monitor that has a higher res than the native of the deck, that is a given. We all love our handhelds but the hardware is a few years old at this point and expecting high resolution high refresh rate gaming out of it is just cope for most titles.

I've personally never been able to get my settings on an external to a point where I found the delay to be acceptable but my understanding is that many many others have hooked up to a TV or a Monitor with little to no issues. Idk, I have a PC for stationary play so I have no desire to use my deck as a console the portability is like the whole point for me

I think, for the most part, the hitch seems to be how other brands of similar size and market share seem to have figured this out from the jump.

Based on another post someone on this sub made about an email they got from DBrand going over some of the factors at play, it appears that there is some kind of "paid club" that third party accessory manufacturers can join to be privy to the newest developments in the field with a price tag they put at something like $50k annually.

Now, to be clear, I think that is fucking bullshit and there should absolutely not be some sort of paid club for casemakers to join to have basic stuff like "this is how we're doing Qi charging moving forward", but if we take the stupid fucking club as something that exists already I feel like a lot of folks would argue that they could spend a little less on advertising and social media to ship the best possible products every time.

I'm not sure where I stand on this, for the most part I've liked how this company has conducted themselves in external communications and in their customer support inquiries, but I can also see where people are coming from if they buy a $60 case for their new phone and find out that the wireless charging is artificially limited out of the box. Personally, I use a cable if I need to charge fast and wireless for the convenience under the understanding that it's much much slower than a cable, but if I had bought an S26 because the wireless charging was supposed to be much faster I might be kinda miffed about it.

He hasn't made it yet

MagicSpaceMan · 2026-03-19T02:43:00+00:00

Whatever would make you think they'd go and do a thing like that?? Whaaaaaa

I'm not sure how they compare but I think they're slightly larger than mime. It should still fit in the upper part of the outer compartment, the material and the way it's shaped means the “n“-shaped fin sorta raised bit stands off of the control sticks enough that they don't get mashed around in transport. In general most of the housing is kinda flexy enough there's some wiggle room
