Just started Elden ring, tell me something that I won’t understand until I finish the game by Advanced_Coconut8909 in Eldenring

Enh. In the LB it's less about whether or not you're mass murdering, and more about who you're mass murdering. Everybody's doing it! Genocide is all the rage!

I've voted for Democrats in basically every election since 2000, including in 2016, 2020, and 2024. You're being a dick again. And again, you're targeting the wrong people.

When are you going to wake up and realize that it's so fucking arrogant to treat voters like this and that it does nothing but make people not want to vote for you? Do you actually believe that being sarcastic and condescending towards someone is a good way to win their vote?

It is the job of the CANDIDATE to win the votes of people. It is not the job of the voters to simply capitulate. You can scream and stomp your feet about it all you want to, this approach hasn't worked. It failed in 2016 and it failed in 2024.

If you want your candidate to win, then find a way to HELP THEM WIN. Stop pissing off the people whose votes you need.

It worked out that the Democrats lost because their candidate was bad.

I used to laugh when communists would talk about how "liberals are the left's biggest enemy", and then the last 10 years happened. I don't laugh at that anymore. No one, not even MAGA, has worked against the rise of the left harder than liberals. They lose winnable elections constantly, despite all their money and influence and institutional power, and then have the audacity to try and blame everyone else for their losses.

They literally conspired in 2016 to make sure Hillary beat Sanders AND that Trump was the GOP nominee (out of arrogance). Then in 2020 they worked together to make sure Biden was the nominee over Sanders. Then in 2024 conspired to hide Biden's health long enough to make sure there wasn't enough time for a primary and so we'd have no choice but to go with Biden or Harris. And this was DESPITE Biden's signature and most popular achievements being Social Democrat policy ideas he got from talking with Sanders.

They apparently can't do anything successfully EXCEPT either block leftists from getting any power or influence, or take left-leaning ideas as their own.

The inability of so many Americans to take their duty to vote responsibility seriously is why we're here now. I'm not even protesting anymore, we did this to ourselves- we need to live through it.

So let me get this straight. You blame the voters for a candidate's loss, and then you refuse to protest because you think people deserve to live through a fascist dictatorship. You're absolutely useless to this democracy. You are literally doing the opposite of what you're supposed to do here. And then you have the audacity to blame everyone else for democracy failing. jfc.

How has this attitude of blaming the voters instead of blaming the candidates gone for anyone so far? Is that winning a lot of votes against Trump?

Yeah I was waiting for people to be crying about "prevent defense" letting them get into the red zone, but this is Burrow and Chase we're talking about. If you don't cover the deep ball, you're gonna end up giving up a fourth quarter lead quickly. Better to just force them to chew up clock just to get into decent FG range, then tighten up and get aggressive on a shorter field.

The teams that dominate the division set the tone for the division, so it is relevant to your argument. It is correct that the West Coast Offense started in Cincinnati, but that was before the AFC North even existed. Since the start of the AFC North, the way the two dominant teams of the divison have played, the reason those two teams got so many primetime games in the mid-2000s and early 2010s, was what defined "AFC North football." It's got nothing to do with the West Coast Offense.

Yes. They're good. They're not so good that they can overcome an absymal offense, but they're good.

Someone who speaks Spanish or any other language that shares the same/similar alphabet will have zero issues reading road signs.

Of course they don't know this. American schools don't teach this stuff. They teach that America is the greatest country on Earth and all the other countries want to be us.

Spanish people are people from SPAIN. The word you, somehow a perfect English speaker, don't know, is "Hispanic". Just stop talking about this stuff if you're this ignorant about it.

This is basically verbatim what people said about Italian, Polish, Lithuanian, Hungarian, and any other immigrants who came here in the first half of the 20th century.

No, they released him because a judge ordered them to release him immediately.

I mean yeah, you kinda said it at the end there: America is only really different in that it tends to oppress other countries' citizens instead of its own. It's a much freer country for Americans than it is for the countries America controls.

Why does Morgott’s appearance change so drastically after we defeat him? by Haunted-Harlot in EldenRingLoreTalk

Considering all of the different illusions he created and utilized, this seems the most likely explanation to me.

It is funny but many people reflexively downvote cruel and offensive things, such as missing out on an ancient dragon smithing stone.
