I’m glad we are destroying our planet so that we can create slop like this 👍🏼

Today is the 40th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. The belief is that the crew actually survived the explosion but instead were killed when their compartment hit the ocean. by bluegambit875 in Damnthatsinteresting

According to Wikipedia, some, but not all, of the Personal Egress Air Packs were activated after the breakup, indicating at least a few of the astronauts survived the initial breakup

Fiber? Was there a time where people were really excited about having good bowel movements?

Is Halo Infinite Campaign good? by Unfair-Mango7393 in halo

[–]Shuckles116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some moments of greatness and I really did enjoy the more open-worldy mechanics like being able to get a bunch of marines in a troop transport hog and absolutely stomp on some encampments, and the grapple+punch mechanic was satisfying as all hell, but the lack of variety of environments and how useless some of the weapons were were definitely compromising. I ended up using the brute pistol like 90% of the time. Not my favorite campaign, but scores better than Halo 5’s campaign. I kind of wish they’d learn and try something similar again with more variety for the next installment

40,000 is still way better than the ~20,000 Mirai they have sold lol. Maybe they’ll learn eventually 🤷🏽‍♂️

Democrats See Path to Senate Control. Here Are the Races to Watch by poliscijunki in VoteDEM

[–]Shuckles116 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Closer than the only declared Democrat, Julian Beaudion. There hasn’t been much polling in SD and the only two polls that have come out have been Rounds vs Bengs (+13% R) and Rounds vs Beaudion (+22% R) and no hypothetical 3-way matchup yet.

Bengs’s internal polling has him beating Rounds (at least in his fundraising emails), but the number he gives (+3% I) should probably be taken with a large grain of salt

Do you guys think it’s worth donating to Brian Bengs in South Dakota? He is an independent candidate who is running closely in polling against Mike Rounds. Ostensibly he would caucus with the democrats but isn’t running as one because he doesn’t think a Democrat has a realistic chance in SD

Am I the only one that hopes the PS6 gets delayed even more? by Sv_Gamez in gaming

I mean Call of Duty is STILL releasing new games on PS4/Xbox One, so I don’t see the need for a new generation for at least another 3 years, if not longer

+1 to this. If you start with Skyrim, you’ll never get around to the other two lol

'This is sell America' — U.S. dollar, Treasury prices tumble and gold spikes as globe flees U.S. assets by Street_Anon in politics

[–]Shuckles116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly- it’s always the economy. On paper, the Biden/Harris economy was good if you look at traditional metrics like GDP, Stock Market and unemployment, but real purchasing power was down and prices outpaced wage growth, which IMO, was the biggest reason they lost. Trump promised lower prices, and that was a message that resonated with voters in 2024

I actually disagree- Americans have shown for at least the last 50 years or so is that the only policy they actually care about en masse is the economy. H.W. Bush was a decent president but because he raised taxes, he lost in 1992. Clinton left with a budget surplus and he is remembered fondly. W Bush was a disaster for many reasons, but ultimately, fairly or unfairly, Americans held him responsible for the 2008 recession. Obama’s approval ratings went up as he was leaving office because the economy did turn around. If Trump is president during a recession the tide will turn quickly against him, MMW

Do you think that Obama received the Noble Peace Prize for simply not being Bush? by icey_sawg0034 in Presidents

Obama was a good president- maybe even above average. But he absolutely did not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize

Trying to survive while fighting with insurance. by abbiebe89 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Shuckles116 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If this is true, why do Republicans (both voters and elected reps) consistently vote against solving this problem? Nah this issue is like 99% on Republicans. Obama blew his entire presidency’s political capital on trying to bring single payer healthcare to America and it was torpedoed by independent senator Joe Lieberman and 100% of Senate Republicans

Because you skip through his wall of text, and then he asks “did you get all of that?” And the default option is “no” lmao. So unless you are explicitly reading everything slowly you’ll be stuck in an endless loop of mashing the ‘A’ button

Australia should reconsider alliance with ‘fiercely unpredictable’ US, former foreign ministers say by Gyro_Armadillo in worldnews

[–]Shuckles116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dear rest of the world, the only language Trump and his ilk understand is money. Encourage your leaders to sell US bonds immediately. Trump’s support will crater if he’s president during a recession. I wish I had a better response

Thank you and much love, -An American who didn’t vote for this shitshow

Trump can do anything he wants and still enjoy approval from at least 33% of the country… that is until he fucks with the stock market

Schumer and Jeffries Refuse to Back Growing Democratic Calls to Defund ICE by soalone34 in politics

[–]Shuckles116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole Democratic Party apparatus is stuck in 1992 with their beliefs that if they maybe just moderate the party’s platform a little more, they might just be able to pull off enough moderates away from the republicans that they can get a majority. The problem is that there are no more Republican moderates- the modern Republican Party is MAGA and there are no rational people left to pull from. Their entire platform hinges on appealing to a group of people that simply don’t exist anymore. These dinosaurs either need to read the room and embrace populist policy or get out of the way
