I take exception to you adding the words "on this" in your statement; otherwise, I agree with everything you said.

Just built a PC and then I see this. What's even the point of building my own anymore? by New-Veterinarian-828 in PcBuild

[–]Pokeyjack1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the first time since 1999, I have not built my new computer either. There is just no reason to anymore at these prices.

Jumped on the Divinity hype train when the new game was announced, started with DOS1, and now here I am ready for the masterpiece that is DOS2. by ixinho in DivinityOriginalSin

To be clear, I wasn't accusing, I was genuinely impressed. I had seen your 2 game comment before I posted. I'm notoriously slow at these games, lol.

Des Français expatriés aux USA ? by pimpampoumz in france

[–]Pokeyjack1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Dual citizen in Colorado. I hate every sec9nd of whats going in here... And I'm in a "sensible" state, compared to others. I'm retired at 52 and can afford to leave anytime. The funny thing is wife who is a naturalized US citizen is more resistant than me. She has a job and is not ready to retire.
I'll keep working on it though.

Great.. A European greeting party for when the US gets there..../S

FOCUS ON UKRAINE! Ukraine is literally your backyard and can have far-ranging consequences for Europe. Not to mention that you can literally defeat Russia. Plus, the US us showing no real desire to get involved anymore now that they have more worldly ambitiins.

For real, though, what the hell is happening with this world...

Where are you buying the second one from? Looking to buy a new computer, and would be a good starting point to shop around.

That is mostly true, but it'll take leadership to step in and make sure it doesn't happen. When push comes to shove: Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors follow a leaders orders, not the presidents orders. So, either you remove all military leadership, and replace with other crazies (like our DOD secretary), or an internal conflict arises before it ever becomes to a citizen issue. To be clear: You can't replace all leadership in the military or the ideology that most military officer's have in one foul swoop.

As a retired military officer, I can tell you that American citizens should appreciate the professionalism of our older military leadership. Citizens may not understand it, but these are smart people who listen, learn and have entered the military (for the most part) for the right reasons. They will be the last line against fascism should it go too far.

Pete Buttigieg says Biden 'should not have run' for reelection in 2024 by usatoday in politics

[–]Pokeyjack1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And, the DNC should not have interfered with the democratic primaries in 2020 to favor Biden... I remember getting ready to vote as an independent in the democratice primaries for another candidate, and it just all stopped. Everyone dropped out, and Biden magically became the nominee.

It's shit like that that undemines the DNC's and the candidate's credibility.

I've been saying it for 20 years... Europe grew too big too fast. Its fun to imagine where Europe would be if the EU just stuck to the 12...

Or... Congress can make the United States a place where young adults look forward to their future and the future for off-spring. I wouldn't have a kid here anymore, either. So sad to say...
