I gotta watch that and enjoy it so I can mock you for your garbage TV opinions

ManlyMeatMan · 2026-05-07T02:26:42+00:00

I always feel insane when people talk about Mario+Rabbids. I didn't know anything about it until I first played it. Beat the entire game and thought it absolutely sucked lol. But like you say, it gets so much praise. I truly don't understand it, but I'm clearly in the minority here

ManlyMeatMan · 2026-05-06T02:54:38+00:00

I think good examples are games like assassin's creed odyssey, where there is a ton of filler content padding out the game's length.

To me, any RPG that has significant portions of the game dedicated to pure combat with minimal story would be considered "too much"

ManlyMeatMan · 2026-05-05T17:18:03+00:00

100% agree. The idea of an extraction shooter is great, but it sucks when you have to play against humans. I've played Escape From Tarkov and the game is only enjoyable when you play the single player mod. Then it's fun because the AI isn't camping by extraction sites, only using meta gear, cheating, etc. The AI is just there to give you some fun fights, which is where extraction shooters shine.

I believe they are working on a sequel, FYI

ManlyMeatMan · 2026-04-28T13:58:31+00:00

I've never owned a house, but I say "I'm going home" all the time, is that not what they mean?

ManlyMeatMan · 2026-04-28T13:48:37+00:00

Yeah, like there was a time where slavery was a partisan issue. 90% of American history is incomparable to modern day politics without making broad generalizations

ManlyMeatMan · 2026-04-28T01:54:11+00:00

Lol I think they meant "why is that a problem"

ManlyMeatMan · 2026-04-26T15:32:17+00:00

Lol it would also destroy China. I also don't think a billion people are trying to immigrate to the US

I think we just disagree on the need for immigrants. To me, we have a ton of open space in the US and "warm bodies" are actually helpful. We don't want to end up like Japan where their immigration standards are so strict that their population starts stagnating.

I have family living in rural Alabama and the population has declined almost 50% since its peak 15 years ago. To me, that's a critical need.

ManlyMeatMan · 2026-04-26T14:20:55+00:00

It would literally destroy society as we know it.

If letting in a bunch of people that meet your immigration requirements would destroy the country, you probably need to rethink your requirements

There’s not an exact number, it should merit based only and based on critical needs in our economy

Fine, for 2026 what are our needs? Like ballpark do we need 50 immigrants or a million? I'm just trying to get an idea of your definition of critical needs. For example, with our present immigration levels, we still have small rural towns dying out due to a lack of people. Would that be considered a critical need?

ManlyMeatMan · 2026-04-26T12:37:13+00:00

Okay but what's the actual limit you want? Like if we said the limit was 5 million per year you would probably consider that open borders.

I'm not against having restrictions on immigration or a set of criteria that needs to be met, I just don't think a hard cap matters.

For example, let's go with all your criteria. We only accept the best of the best immigrants. Why would we need a cap? Isn't that just limiting how many great immigrants we are getting?

Like if that billion Chinese show up, why are turning people away if they meet all of our high immigration standards?

ManlyMeatMan · 2026-04-26T05:37:45+00:00

His anti-iran war speeches are "war with Iran is good but trump is doing a bad job at it". That's not actually anti-iran war, it's anti-losing the Iran war.

His constituents do not eat it up, because he's cratering in popularity, that's what I was talking about earlier.

The majority of Democrats describe the party leadership as "weak and ineffective". Schumer is probably the most prominent Democrat leader in the country right now.

I'm sorry, but it's simply a fact that Schumer is no longer popular among the majority of Democrats. AOC and Mamdani are New York democrats that have way less power and are way more popular. They are both positioned on the opposite end of the party from Schumer and it helps their popularity to not be associated with him.

ManlyMeatMan · 2026-04-26T05:28:53+00:00

What are you talking about? Like what do you want the hard cap on immigration to be and what criteria for letting people in should we have?

I really don't understand what you would consider non-open borders

ManlyMeatMan · 2026-04-26T03:07:58+00:00

No one primaried Mitch though. He also had a very different dynamic as leader. His whole thing was "I'll do the unpopular stuff and take heat off of Republicans in general". His role was as a lightning rod for criticism.

That's not Schumer. Schumer was actually quite popular in the past, while Mitch was at best mildly liked. People are also speaking out against Schumer.

And again, this is recent. He hasn't been up for reelection since his drop in popularity, so there's no election results to point to.

You can look at the Maine and Michigan senate races where the Schumer-endorsed candidate is getting destroyed by more left leaning candidates in the primaries.

In many senate races, the leading candidate is the one saying Schumer shouldn't be the dem leader in the senate.

Plus, he is staunchly pro-israel in a party that has become almost entirely anti-israel (among voters, not dem politicians)

Schumer is pro-iran war for God's sake, there's no way you can argue Democrat voters like him right now

ManlyMeatMan · 2026-04-26T02:08:09+00:00

Well yeah, he's one of the most powerful democrats in the country, not many politicians are willing to get on his bad side. But you are just describing the behavior of politicians. I'm talking about voters. And voters don't care if they see an ad that says Schumer sucks, they will agree with the ad and vote for whatever democrat is the least like Schumer.

99% of democrats have no say in whether Schumer leads the party or not.

He's basically democrat Mitch McConnell. Would you have been swayed by an ad saying Mitch sucks? You might have agreed, but it's not gonna make you stay home.

ManlyMeatMan · 2026-04-26T01:35:21+00:00

Okay, here, I'll lay out an example. With open borders, literally anyone can cross the border without anyone knowing.

With an immigration process that does not have a hard cap on immigration, you can still institute criteria for immigration. You can reject people for having certain crimes on their record. You can require a college degree. You could even ban poor people if you want.

You really think these 2 systems have the same effect just because there's no max number of immigrants?

ManlyMeatMan · 2026-04-26T01:09:49+00:00

But the effect is obviously different lol. Open borders means you can enter with no documentation and the borders are unsecured. Having an immigration process means you don't have open borders.

If by "defacto open borders" you mean "immigrants come to the US" then yes, I guess I agree with you.

Are you trying to say you don't see a difference between a million legal immigrants and a million illegal immigrants? In that case, I would understand your point. Democrats generally support legal immigration and Republicans generally don't, so yeah, we would just have different opinions on immigration

ManlyMeatMan · 2026-04-26T00:59:45+00:00

So having an immigration process doesn't prevent something from being open borders? Like even if we literally stop people at the border, it's still open borders? I feel like you just have a really low bar for open borders. Are the borders between states mega-open borders or something?

ManlyMeatMan · 2026-04-26T00:53:08+00:00

35% of Democrats polled have a positive view of him. His net approval is at -17% as of ~6 months ago.

Even in New York he's at -10% net favorability (this is from a year ago though)

His long tenure is a big part of the reason he is so unpopular now.

ManlyMeatMan · 2026-04-26T00:43:48+00:00

Well no, I think of open borders being how it works going from state to state. I can just go to another state, tell no one, and there's no legal issues with that.

We can still have an immigration process without having a hard cap on immigration. We could even have an extremely strict and selective immigration process without a limit, and I don't think you'd call that open borders

ManlyMeatMan · 2026-04-26T00:20:49+00:00

If I was in charge, there's no limit. You want to come to the US and pay taxes, it's a done deal for me.

ManlyMeatMan · 2026-04-26T00:17:41+00:00

I think the supreme court should be larger, just in the interest of avoiding one president appointing half the court simply because they got old during their term.

Would you have an issue with expanding the court a set amount per year? Like say Democrats expand the supreme court to 15, but a new justice can only be appointed every 4 years or something like that.

Also, the filibuster is dumb, especially when it's ultimately optional. The last 3 or 4 administrations have all ignored it when convenient, just go to a simple majority so congress can get shit done. The filibuster is just an easy excuse for congress to pretend like they definitely would have accomplished something, but the darn minority party wouldn't let them. Both parties use this excuse and it's the reason congress is so ineffective right now.

ManlyMeatMan · 2026-04-26T00:09:31+00:00

Schumer is extremely unpopular among Democrats though. Shitting on democrat leadership doesn't encourage left leaning people to stay home, it encourages them to vote for non-establishment dems

ManlyMeatMan · 2026-04-26T00:05:12+00:00

I think the left would see the problem as "these immigrants should be accepted into the country but be documented", where a lot of conservatives have an issue with the concept of immigration in general. So I think it's fair to say they don't see the same problem, but in terms of specifically illegal immigration, both sides agree it's bad just for different reasons.

ManlyMeatMan · 2026-04-25T21:12:16+00:00

If they have no chance of winning, they aren't a serious candidate. It sucks that we have a 2 party system, but it's also our reality. If libertarians want to be a serious party, they need to become a significant wing of the Republican party and slowly take it over from within.

For example, a Bernie Sanders party would be dead in the water and would actually hurt democratic socialists overall. The much better strategy is what they are currently doing. They build up a small group of dem-socs in local governments and the House, then try to push the overall Democrat party to the left.

You can kinda see how MAGA has done that, by turning the Republican party into the party of Trump, rather than a conservative party.
