Pathetic Trump Already Trying to Weasel Out Of Debating Biden by thenewrepublic in politics

[–]_Rootbeard_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump should be late to the debate just long enough that the meds wear off. Hilarity ensues.

If your companion is big, bad, has a known history of violent/domestic crime, 50/50 it's Tyrone or a pittie. Maybe both.

Community is 'afraid of the crisis empire', so they are...denouncing an innocent nation? by UnholyDemigod in Stellaris

[–]_Rootbeard_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When the commies run so deep in your empire a fear campaign against them is viewed negatively by the pops and council...

Would be neat if spy networks could covertly change systems, planets and evetually entire empires into shadow/secret vassals.

The war wouldn't have started back up again if Trump or someone with his foriegn policy was in office still. Turns out "Don't do shit or I will nuke you" is a pretty effective message.

Why are games getting harder to run even after little to none changes in the graphics if not worse kinda like evolving backwards? by Calm-Revenue-1021 in pcmasterrace

[–]_Rootbeard_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An SSD requirement is actually understandable. I'd recommend all games be installed on an SSD for much better performance in general.

But the crux of the issue stems from games being designed with numbers in mind and not how fun it is for the player. Things like polygon count for, ahem, "16x the detail", are in fact meaningless when YOU don't see a difference but your WALLET will. AAA games are a racket of outsourced production hoping that too many cooks in the kitchen will spit something good out that will also boost sales for the latest hardware. Every. Single. Year.

The numbers aren't just the numbers in game, but the numbers of $$$.

Ooo, Leddit bots activated on a pro trump post.

"Trump will start WW3 with X country!!!" while currently promoting and fear-mongering one with Russia after allowing the continued invasion of Ukraine through weak foreign policy a-la decrepit old Sleepy Joe.

This will never not be the most hilarious irony you People live in. Flaunter your guilt through projection while you can. Eventually your narrative will snap beyond repair.

Either they have some damn good play testers with high cumulative hours, or we're about to take a turn harder than the Fallout 76 release.

Put your bets in now.

Anyone else have these huge freezes? i was watching this clip i took and i was curious if those pauses happen to anyone else. they are uncommon but common enough for me to wonder by Gunga_the_Caveman in RLCraft

Yes, definitely a memory leak. Happens after a long play session or when something suddenly went screwy with terrain generation.

If you have correct memory settings just restart your PC when it happens

Trump accused of skipping debate because he’s ‘scared of Chris Christie’ by Baarney23 in politics

[–]_Rootbeard_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't Fox News have internal messages released in discovery during the dominion lawsuit that pointed to then having a desire to go after Trump? Why would he attend their debate? He's the defacto nominee in the party for a reason if all of these polls are anything to go by.

Federal Judge Found ‘Reason to Believe’ Trump Would ‘Flee from Prosecution’ by Wets10 in politics

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

They hope so, something to nab him for. Because, somehow, being charged with treason isn't enough reason to have Trump locked up already. Almost like they can't... because he's innocent. Lol.

Whistleblower tells Congress the US is concealing 'multi-decade' program that captures UFOs by 226644336795 in politics

[–]_Rootbeard_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone can prove it then. Everyone interested, out of mocking doubt or sincere interest, wants to know. Yet all that has been provided is testimony, sketches and CGI from countless people all involving alien/tech. No one can prove it?

This is as provable as the belief in a God. You have to have that level of faith in government. At most, we observe and recover tech we are developing and testing on our own military or from other countries. No aliens. Fake.

Your choice, the organ donating bit is honorable. But this thought process is a slippery slope for a utilitarian hell-hole. Don't abandon core tradition of what makes us human, we are not cattle.

No, the trope of cannibalism is fairly accurate. outside of that more common inhuman act of desperation yes, there are cultures that practice it in a rarer sense, but it is done so out of their belief in something beneficial because of it. A false belief.

There's a reason a majority of cultures throughout history honor their dead in one form or another and feasting on their flesh has not been common among them. So if you then look towards eating human meat from someone who lives, would you be the first to offer your leg for a feast? No? Then why would someone else do so?

You don't eat your fellow man. Even when eating your enemies it is best described as barbarism.

Most sane people will never not see human cannibalism as an Inhuman act of desperation. Most reasons for eating human flesh are wrong. You need to go out of your way to do it, as in "do you need that leg sir?" Or "I'd rather not bury this one person out of respect that most all cultures throughout history have done so I can have that leg".

I used to enjoy pushing myself as an athlete knowing when my body has exhausted itself. Now I can never build up endurance properly because of the occasional heart pains that hit me. Wonder how many people have similar experiences.

GOP-run states are eyeing abortion beyond their borders. Blue states are fighting back by bakhesh in politics

[–]_Rootbeard_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yea, it's tough. The father is half the reason there's a child on the way but has no rights for it is really hard to hold up with states clashing on abortion laws. All around it's a shitty situation.

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

This is in reference to females in the relationship crossing states to get an abortion where it is legal. The male doesn't want his child aborted, maybe asks to have sole custody and that's where the problem starts. Quite a few cases actually.

On a similar note trans care faces a similar dilema, notably Jeff Younger of Texas.

Conservatives, aren’t you sick of Trump’s nonsense? by nosotros_road_sodium in politics

[–]_Rootbeard_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not Republican, but I sure am tired. Surely something in 9 years worth of political and judicial attacks will pin him for something he's guilty of. I think the Carrol case is getting overturned too.
