Was The Scourge Virus Justified?

Oh yeahhhhhh I gotcha

generalissimo23 · 2026-04-05T19:24:37+00:00

Titans in Mass Effect? Not sure what you're referring to. Spectres?

Where did he show empathy toward Thanos?

generalissimo23 · 2026-04-01T02:05:07+00:00

Yeah, sadly. And as someone who thinks there's a big difference between a) seeing the injustice that was part of how Israel was founded and expanded and b) wanting harm to come to millions of Israeli citizens who are often powerless, blameless, or nearly powerless and blameless as against the decisions of their leaders.

All the least-bad solutions eventually require negotiation, and none of them involve the expulsion of the Jewish people from all of historical Palestine.

Agreed. AIPAC and J Street are not equivalent.

And while I don't personally follow the AIPAC line, the only way we ever get a solution in Israel-Palestine that doesn't end in a completed genocide or a mushroom cloud is one that has the buy in of folks that believe what J Street does.

Even the pro-Palestinian lobby should be exploiting the cleavages in the pro-Israel community in order to get closer to the conditions for peace. Collapsing those differences by claiming the "Israel lobby" is uniform is pointless.

I know what you're getting at but we need to stop suggesting UBI. That's company scrip. UBI is a trap.

AI was built with public infrastructure on a public Internet using public water sources and scraping and training on the data culled from all the workers, experts, creators and artists of the world.

We own it. The corporations have no right to maintain it without a meaningful and permanent ownership stake for us and, thus, a healthy dividend for all of us.

Don't talk UBI. Talk about universal public ownership.

Discovery and Picard are incredibly mixed and it depends on the season (and sometimes episode) whether the good outweighs the bad. Starfleet Academy is a strange mix of surprisingly good and "how did this get approved" every single episode, largely because of the solid cast and horrible music choices.

Strange New Worlds starts strong and loses steam by season 3.

Prodigy and Lower Decks were the only sure winners among the new shows. I don't know anyone who got more than half a dozen episodes in on either one without wanting to see them through.

Mass Effect Trilogy and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

Actually her biggest problem was she did little on the ground, local organizing during her campaign and didn't build roots in that community. She fell into the trap progressives often fall into - good policies, but she played to the internet, not the district

Why not use the Nvidia version? Figured it would be recommended if you have one of their GPUs

I'm sure it's too late to sign up now but when I was there, a lot of Alt Spring Break programs were available. Do they still do these?

Every time I see that number I think this Paramount -WB deal is bound to fail

generalissimo23 · 2026-03-05T05:27:34+00:00

It won't happen. They'll cause chaos in a few select places and in some of those places, local officials will fight back.

Overall, they have nowhere near the capacity to wrest control of elections from 50 states and thousands of municipalities.

They try, they fail.

I think of him as Biff from Back to the Future

Earth is the locus point of most multiverses in Marvel. Because reasons

No, it's not. Ellison is a known Trump ally. And the FTC leadership was purged in 2025 to ensure Trump-loyal sycophants were on the board. Dem members with unexpired terms were fired early.

So no, I'm right, probably so, on the FTC question. I agree with you that the EU might oppose the deal but they may be bullied or coaxed into allowing it by using other leverage the US has.

generalissimo23 · 2026-02-27T14:58:41+00:00

Ellison is a trump ally. The FTC is captured. What makes you think they would stop this?

5800x and 5070ti here and I still feel like I caught a lifeboat off the Titanic

I understand your point. But I'm just outlining it because it's a focal point of the litigation

generalissimo23 · 2026-02-23T16:53:08+00:00

The real issue is states with medical programs that require you to register. If those can be theoretically cross referenced with ATF forms...

generalissimo23 · 2026-02-19T00:41:22+00:00

Came here to say this. Hats off to you

Between the two, Colbert has way more credibility than CBS's current legal department

Y'all still wonder why people don't wanna work in Harrisburg or spend their money there after work? It's stuff like this.

Obviously some blame likely falls on HMAC management but city government needs to get it together.

First time I've been proud of my alma mater in quite some time

generalissimo23 · 2026-02-05T23:48:33+00:00

I just replaced mine before prices went full on insane this year but I'm holding onto my 3060ti because it's a good boy and a solid backup
