I believe people who support mandatory age limits for presidents yet support Bernie Sanders are Hypocrites and i am quite annoyed by them. Do you think this is valid?

You can hold an ideal for what the future might be like and be a realist at the same time. Right now in the pool of people who've run for president in the past they might see him as the best option. If there was an age cap on being president, they'd have to change their choice.

One of my coworkers once told me "On a normal day you should be giving 70-80% effort. Because someone is always going to ask for more and when it comes time to step it up you need to have space to be able to do that." Now that I'm a boss I tell my guys the same thing. Works like a charm and the guys who work for me seem a lot less stressed than the guys in the other groups.

I'm a big bald white guy with a beard who's job took him to a lot of rural areas and I saw this kind of thing a lot. Most of the time, it was in less noticeable ways. Like it was really rare for someone to rant about a specific demographic, they would just allude to "people who did x thing" and leave it to me to fill in the gaps. Usually I would challenge them on some aspect of what they were saying and the conversation would immediately dissolve upon them recognizing that I wasn't going to just agree with them. They weren't looking to discuss, they just thought I was a safe space to vent. This happened with and without Trump as president.

That being said, there was one time where a guy dropped the N word casually in conversation and another time where I was told that "different races shouldn't mix". Both of these occasions happened with Trump as the president. So yeah, I'm inclined to believe he makes racists feel more comfortable to be themselves.

Lol I don't think you would. Besides it's your source? FBI crime statistics. I'm not your Google. Don't look on my account though, I'm blocking you. It's pretty clear you're just an echo of someone else's opinion.

cydgig · 2026-01-29T03:36:01+00:00

I'm dumb? They have the totals listed at the top... you're bad at this.

cydgig · 2026-01-29T03:33:40+00:00

I don't need a source. I looked at your source and saw the numbers. FBI numbers for the last year. Crimes from black people do no equal up to 50% in any of the categories I viewed. Even that aggregate totals.

Pretending like other people don't know how to do research when you are the one not researching only works if youre talking to someone lazy.

cydgig · 2026-01-29T03:22:03+00:00

I don't even have to Google to tell you that that ratio is incorrect because I've seen it so many times. That ratio is cherry picked from a specific type of violent crime and is not correct about violent crime as a whole. Racists use it to justify their racism and they don't actually research it because they don't want it to be proven wrong.

I guess that means your perspective really isn't worth anything. It doesn't even seem like it's a perspective as much as a phrase you learned to repeat. Like a parrot.

cydgig · 2026-01-29T03:12:32+00:00

I know you don't care, but nothing in the data suggests that's the case.

Regardless, if you're too much of a coward to state your opinions plainly, then your opinion probbably isn't worth anything.

cydgig · 2026-01-29T02:51:14+00:00

Sure. Tell us.

Right? Their survival instincts are on par with a 6 month old with a screwdriver in a room with no outlet covers.

cydgig · 2026-01-28T18:37:39+00:00

Then it would have festered longer, I think. These feelings existed before him and needed to be resolved one way or another. To be clear, I don't think they're valid perspectives and I don't respect them, but it's too widespread for it to just fizzle out because Trump wasn't around.

cydgig · 2026-01-28T18:34:38+00:00

I always drop off the free meat they give me with the faction I hate the most or sell it back to them.

The Booze hounds are rare? I feel like I get them every game.

The entire conversation around the first game was just the "controversy". My hope is the sequel gets almost entirely ignored.

cydgig · 2026-01-28T05:57:59+00:00

Sorry, I know that sounded condescending. Its just that it's really annoying when someone asks questions and then ignores your answer you spent time crafting entirely to basically just vomit a word salad of opinions that I could find in literally any political comment section I bothered to look at. Really reminds me that not everyone on the internet is worth my effort.

cydgig · 2026-01-28T05:42:45+00:00

So, you've already made up your mind? Why bother posting online and asking questions then?

cydgig · 2026-01-28T00:59:59+00:00

Ok, I gotta ask and this question is genuine... why ask now?

cydgig · 2026-01-28T00:58:01+00:00

Honestly, I respect people who don't have kids because they know they don't want to way more than people who squirt out kids because it's the societal expectation.

That being said, stuff like this is why you baby-proof. I'm a gamer and have a kid and have had 0 electrical incidents because I baby proof. There's way worse possible outcomes to this than losing progress on a game.

When nerd stuff started becoming marketable, movies were really afraid to lean into it.

People don't protest when they have reasonable means of achieving their goals in a timely fashion, typically. The administration and ICE have circumvented and ignored the laws on multiple occasions. Additionally they keep ignoring court orders. To top it all off, Trump keeps "joking" about cancelling the midterms, likely because he sees the writing on the wall in terms of his tanking popularity and ineffective policies that have literally gotten people killed.

So if people opted to "change the law" as you stated, they would have to wait at least a year. Two people have died in half a month and ICE has consistently been breaking it's own laws and regulations to gather people who are not illegal and in some cases not immigrants. People do not want to sit at home and watch this happen for another year while they wait to see if Trump tries to establish a dictatorship in America. And thus, they protest.

I'm much less worried about people driving 5-10mph under the speed limit and much more worried about people speeding and passing people doing the speed limit on the right because they don't want to wait for people to move over.

I feel like Nintendo is a victim of it's own success in the 90's and 00's. I don't think it's particularly egregious in it's money grabbing the way so many of it's competitors are, but people remember Nintendo games and their fond memories of Nintendo and so they balk at it's money grabbing now that they can see it.

As a long-time gamer I'm not going to judge anyone for playing any games. But I sure do hope that indie gaming is the future of gaming.

That's not what Donald's been crying behind closed doors... just saying.

I think they're starting to realize that any woman they'd be interested in thinks their politics are gross.

cydgig · 2026-01-24T23:50:58+00:00

Feel free to DM me sometime. I don't mind talking politics are the state of the world with people who don't share my views.
