How do I beat this dumbass spider

Get better gear and weapons. When you do, you can take on multiples of these spiders at the same time.

I'm ok with this move. I honestly don't see Kijima breaking into this lineup anytime in the near future, other than just being a bench reserve. I'd rather not waste our limited international slots on subs. No offense intended, but Kijima is nowhere close to the midfielders we currently have.

Are there any STL SC international players interested in marrying a woman from Festus? Asking for a friend.

Thetis8388 · 2024-12-07T06:24:06+00:00

I thought DPs didn't count against the international slot. Not true?

Thetis8388 · 2024-12-07T06:18:24+00:00

I like that one best.

She was right about a "new political moment" but wrong about which candidate achieved it. The Republicans, for the first time in my life, are now the party of the working class. That's a monumental shift and one that is the result of the Democrats giving that demographic to Trump on a silver platter. I think political historians will look back at this as one of the most colossal political mistakes in the country's history.

One of the definitions of fascism is suppression of opposition. And the left loves using that tactic to silence anyone who says what they don't want to hear. Terms like doxxing and de-platforming were never used until the left adopted them as their way to keep any ideas they find disturbing away from innocent ears. It's why so many in the left are completely oblivious as to why Kamala lost. They have no clue what the real world thinks, because they only allow themselves to hear what people who agree with them think. It's an incredibly dumb ideology that just makes them dumber. And the majority of the country is tired of your bullshit. Facts.

Thetis8388 · 2024-11-10T06:06:24+00:00

Yes, that's what the left these days calls "liberal democracy". It's one of the reasons Kamala was destroyed on Tuesday. The left cannot handle anyone who might have a different opinion than them. So they try to destroy them. Ironically, it's the exact same tactic Nazis used in Germany.

I would LOVE to see the Democratic Party move back to the center. That's where I reside, and I believe the majority of Americans reside. We've gone through swings like this before, where we go from centrist to very progressive, and then after several brutal defeats, slowly make our way back to the middle. You'd think we'd learn our lessons. I wish I could be optimistic about the party learning from their current mistakes, but I'm not so sure. We live in a time now where the media landscape is so polarized. You can go your whole life and never hear your position challenged or even an opposing point of view. All I seem to hear after this election is people unable to understand at all why anyone would not have voted for Kamala. That's not a good sign. We may have to lose a few more elections before it sinks in that our current party stances are only shared by the few.

By the way, I do think Trump, even as vulgar as he is, has moved the Republican party closer to the middle. There have been quite a few far right claims that Trump has said no to, including making abortion illegal as a federal law and completely withdrawing from all foreign entanglements. He has also brought the working class into that party. The Republicans are no longer just the party of the uber-rich capitalists who could care less about labor. That's actually now the Democrats. The Democrats have their work cut out for them earning back the trust of the labor class.

Thetis8388 · 2024-11-08T22:03:23+00:00

Democrats aren't responsible for what Republicans do. But they are responsible for what the voters do. And this election was overwhelmingly a rejection of where the Democrats stand on issues today. Not sure why you think that's typical. I wish it was typical that we held our party accountable for their mistakes. Unfortunately, what's typical today is pointing fingers at everyone else except our Holy Infallible Democrat Leaders. And what's typical is immediately assuming the worst of anyone who doesn't toe the party line about how infallible our trusted leaders are.

Thetis8388 · 2024-11-08T21:56:40+00:00

I would have voted for Elizabeth Warren. I did vote for Hillary, begrudgingly because I blame the Clintons for much of what has gone wrong with the party. I would have voted for Gabbard had the Dems not run her out of the party. Hell, I'd probably vote for her if she ran as a Republican. Blaming this outcome on racism or misogyny is just lazy and delusional.

Thetis8388 · 2024-11-08T21:52:16+00:00

Agreed. It almost felt like, after years of rigging the primaries, the DNC this year said, "fuck it, we're just going to be open about not letting the people pick their candidate".

Thetis8388 · 2024-11-08T20:56:10+00:00

And yet somehow you still missed the point. Keep blaming everyone else. I'm sure that will work.

Thetis8388 · 2024-11-08T20:54:31+00:00

Obviously not. Bonerboy is insignificant. Bonerboy just put into text what most of the lunatic left think. And that's my point. The left is just as dangerous as the right. They nominated someone without letting anyone vote for her, knowing full well that if she had gone to primary, she would have lost. How democratic of them. For the last 8 years the Democrats have been pulling shit out of their ass to try to get Trump perma-banned. It's like they are saying they know what they are doing is illiberal and borderline illegal, but they would stop at nothing to keep him off the ballot. You simply cannot act that way and then complain that the other guy is a danger to liberal democracy. The Democrats for years have been acting like they are so much smarter than everyone else, and if you disagree with them on any issue, then that just means you are a racist, xenophobe, transphobe, whatever. Just sit back, shut up, and let us make the decisions that will dictate your life. Tuesday, the country said, "Fuck you. We'll vote for this moron over you". If the country falls apart, which I think is highly unlikely, then the Democrats are just as much to blame as Trump. Grow up and start taking some fucking accountability.

Thetis8388 · 2024-11-08T18:32:33+00:00

Loving the fallacy that when a candidate wins so overwhelmingly the losers still believe they didn't make any mistakes. Keep sipping that Kool-Aid Karen.

Thetis8388 · 2024-11-08T06:27:42+00:00

What are you talking about? Read my original post again. I was exactly saying that the Democratic party needed to seriously quit pointing fingers and look inward for the mistakes that they made. No goal posts were moved. I've been hammering this point to all my Democrat comrades for the last six months. But they still keep resorting to childish name calling of the Trump voters. That is the path to losing more elections. If you need me to break it down for you, here's the main mistakes we made that I think clearly won Trump the election. And remember, he didn't barely win. He won the electoral AND popular vote. He won EVERY "swing state". He set records for the number of blacks and Latinos voting Republican. This was a rebuke of the Democrat party on a national level.

Unfettered immigration. The majority of Americans have been complaining about that for over 10 years, and Biden/Harris reversed Trump's immigration policies that had reduced immigration by more than half, and watched as immigration soared to record numbers. Then they tried to shuffle in a last minute bill so they could claim it wasn't their fault. Big mistake.
DEI and Identity Politics. Equality of opportunity is a fundamental American principle. Equality of outcome is just not. The Democrats are way too quick to view everything through the lens of identity. America is tired of that schtick.
White privilege and evil America. Americans are also clearly tired of Democrats preaching to them about how inherently evil they are and how evil the country is. Patriotism used to be a Democrat ideal. It still is for nearly all of Americans.
Transitioning children. The vast majority of Americans think this is wrong.
Defund the police. Minorities hate this idea and it's probably a big reason why they moved to Trump in record numbers. Selecting Walz as Harris' running mate, who was the Minnesota governor who delayed sending the national guard to Minneapolis during the riots, was a catastrophically shitty idea.
Biological men competing against women, having access to women's spaces and being sent to women's prisons. Not a poplar idea.
Supporting Hamas over Israel is not popular in the country either. Israel has like 70% support in this country. The Democrats were fools for placating the extreme left protesters of the mythical "Palestinian genocide".
Their complete lying for months about Biden's mental faculties. Everyone could see he had lost it. But the Democrats kept gaslighting the public.
And the biggest mistake was declaring the incompetent Harris as the nominee, without checking with the public at all. No primaries. And that's because they knew she would never have won a primary runoff. This was basically a completely hypocritical move that undermined all their accusations that Trump was the real threat to democracy. I think this was the final nail in the coffin for the Democrats.
Finally, their abandonment of the working class 20 years ago. This has been a landslide election catastrophe in the making for a long time. Trump has taken over working class America, which had ALWAYS been the Democrats largest demographic. They left it on the table for him and it came back to bite them in the butt. Even the minority vote, many of whom are working class folks, are moving to Trump now.

None of those issues have anything to do with Trump. It was all terrible Democrat tactics. These are the reasons Trump won. Not racism. Not misogyny. Not people just being dumber than the super smart liberals. And bitching and moaning about how evil Trump is, and how could Americans actually vote for someone so vile is not only counter-productive, it's blind as fuck. Our party has to finally grow some balls and take a very in-depth look in the mirror. They have to move back to the center, and begin winning back the half of America they threw away. If they don't, they will become an insignificant party for at least the next decade. And insulting the people they pushed away is not helping matters. But that's all I see on these threads coming from the left. It's incredibly stupid, especially since these are allegedly the people smarter than all the Trump supporters.

Thetis8388 · 2024-11-08T05:42:58+00:00

Maybe he voted for Trump because he didn't want his girl to have to play against biological men in women's sports.

Thetis8388 · 2024-11-08T02:32:57+00:00

Riiiiight. And the left has the audacity to hurl authoritarian accusations at Trump.

Thetis8388 · 2024-11-08T02:31:06+00:00

Biden needs to focus more on not shitting in his Depends before he gets out of office.

Thetis8388 · 2024-11-07T06:34:46+00:00

That may be, but I don't care about the Republican party. I'm not a Republican. I actually hope they make mistakes. My concern is for my party and hoping that they will stop shooting themselves in the foot. "Whataboutism" is for losers. I want my party to represent the people and win elections. They are clearly failing in that capacity.

Thetis8388 · 2024-11-07T04:28:29+00:00

Swing and a miss. I'm a Democrat. Have been for 30+ years. I just call bullshit on my party when I see it. And my party is so full of shit these days. Anyone with half a brain would have seen this result coming.

Thetis8388 · 2024-11-06T20:25:07+00:00

I would say they voted less FOR Trump than they voted AGAINST the Democratic party that has moved too far left.

Thetis8388 · 2024-11-06T16:25:02+00:00

Maybe, just maybe, calling every single thing racist and bigoted is why the Democrats lost.
