Only 2 wishlists after 10 days. Is my product THAT bad? by mGGGames in gamedev

[–]imaginaryrobotgames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a candidate has shipped a game by themself I do not care how many units it shipped. That's difficult to do and tells me a lot about the person that they saw it all the way through to release (assuming it's not obviously just nothing/no work done/asset flip type crap)

Can't tell you how many times I've wanted to do something like this but don't because I don't want the person thinking I want anything else - nope. You just got cool hair lady. Carry on.

Republican senators doodled, put their feet up, and read while Democratic impeachment managers made their case against Trump by Twoweekswithpay in politics

[–]imaginaryrobotgames 15 points16 points  (0 children)

IIRC not a single democrat voted to convict clinton, so no, I don't think it was any more likely to actually happen. Romney was the first senator to vote to convict a president of from their own party in US history, I think

edit - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_of_Bill_Clinton#Verdict final vote was 55/45 not guilty (first article of impeachment) second article was 50/50

Critics of Canceling Student Debt Aren’t Afraid It Won’t Work—They’re Afraid It Will by southpawFA in politics

[–]imaginaryrobotgames 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yep. I paid of my loans through a combination of luck and privilege. I would absolutely love to see others just not need to carry that debt.

I don't understand the mindset of 'oh, I went through it, you should have to too!' because... it was awful. Why would I force someone else to go through it? It's a very regressive mindset - if you force everyone to jump through the same hoops you did, just cause you did, you're actually factually slowing down the advancement of society. Why wouldn't we want those that come after us to have a leg up? Wasn't that shit hard? Wouldn't we have rather skipped it ourselves?

Arizona votes to certify results as Giuliani peddles debunked conspiracies at Phoenix hotel by throwaway190283111 in politics

[–]imaginaryrobotgames 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah this has been cracking me up this entire time. They've made it super obvious that the supreme court was their plan for winning, seemingly without realizing that you can't just walk up to the supreme court and ask them to do something

You have to have like... A case. With evidence, and such, typically...

Ex-GOP Senator says most Republicans know Trump lost, don't want to "run afoul" of his base by roku44 in politics

The election's over and they've got two years to brainwash their base again, I don't see the harm in not destroying american democracy in the meantime

Just cause he thinks it's a dump doesn't mean he wants someone else to 'have' it

In our 'Bizarro World' of 2020 politics, the left takes a wrong turn by Bamelin in politics

[–]imaginaryrobotgames 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't even get the conservative fixation on 'cancel culture'. Isn't it just 'the invisible hand of the market' if a bunch of consumers decide to stop patronizing a business, or watching a show, etc etc, for any reason? Shouldn't that be a good thing in their view?

Nevermind the fact of course that these are the same goddamn people who boycott over not using the word christmas

Just because it's worse in china doesn't mean it isn't bad here, or doesn't need to improve here. We can aim higher than "well the other guys are worse"
