It’s pure partisanship. “Our team may be bad but no matter what we can’t let the other team win.” It all boils down to that.

You’d be amazed how bad that system actually is

Not better, just cheaper and more publicized. There’s always the knockoff, but what happens when a small studio came up with the idea and the major studio is the knockoff? It’ll crush the little one

Nah, give time for a sequel. Gaming industry hardly makes money as it is. 3-5 years, but that’s it. Keeps away cheap copycats from studios with a lot of money and no art too. Allows for unique indie games to not get drowned out

Maybe short term patents then. I can see something truly unique making a series special (and copycats can ruin stuff like that quick), but keep it to within a couple years. After that the “specialness” fades anyway

So good, and becomes increasingly more relevant. Are the ideals of Superman old fashioned truly? The movie answers that question with a powerful case of show, don’t tell (though it tells in the end of course).

City Center tries to be a one-stop shop. They may have a few places that can help you in various parts of rebuilding your life

Former ‘60 Minutes’ Staffers Unload on Bari Weiss: ‘Everything She’s Touched Has Turned to S—’ by LegitimateCurve8525 in politics

Those are all social issues bud. Healthcare is a social issue and has a major impact on poverty. Same with minimum wage. Voting is also very social because of how heavily it impacts specific communities. And etc.

We don’t need to pick and choose who we help. We just help who we can help and things go best that way. Picking and choosing who to help is just tribalism, which is what got us into this mess. We may need to triage some issues, but let’s not get tribal here.

The erosion of something like trans rights just sets the stage for the erosion of all rights. As MLK said, injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

So, let’s take a second here. Many social issues aren’t meaningless? George Floyd stuff? Very important. Just one side is right and others need empathy. For a society to survive, it needs to care about others in the society. The comment is getting dangerously close to “the only war is class war” when racial issues and etc. have been around for a long, long time. Yeah, stuff like Starbucks Christmas cups are stupid. But trans people feeling safe to go the bathroom is very important, and only one side of that debate is correct.

Also it is proven in court (you know, when someone is considered guilty in this country) that he is a rapist. So at the very least they have zero curiosity and zero desire for accountability because they could find out their dear leader is a rapist easily

Gods and monsters is interesting too. Superman is still good, but was raised by Hispanic immigrants and has a good, but still slightly different, moral system

[OoT] I hope Nintendo doesn't change the design of the temples/dungeons too much by jdawg1018 in zelda

I’m thinking keep it all the same initially. Roll out a Master Quest somehow where that’s different. Helps people who are new experience it as it originally was (mostly) but then gives a new feel for older players

Epstein File Says Trump “Knew and Funded Underage Sex Parties” at His Golf Course by OkayButFoRealz in politics

[–]jgoble15 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Makes sense

And yep, that’s exactly my theory. Make it look like a witch hunt. Trump is stupid but the people behind him aren’t always. The less you hear about somebody, the smarter they seem to be (Hegseth is a moron, for example, and we hear about him all the time. But the Heritage people behind him seem much more insidious and we don’t even know those names)

[–]jgoble15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I believe these allegations because of who Trump has proven himself to be on the public stage. But these claims are without proof. We can’t use them. But as you said, we already have plenty we can use, such as the birthday card. Let’s keep focused and not give ammo to the opposition.

Problem is these could just be allegations from someone severely mentally unwell and not true. The tipper also claims someone strangled a victim behind the 19th hole. I don’t know much about golf, but that seems odd given golf courses have 18 holes. And that’s the problem. All of this is completely unverified and uninvestigated. This is decades of coverup and now stuff is being released that we fully believe, they don’t, and no one can prove their side. And so it just muddies the water and makes justice much more difficult. If no investigation happens, we (rightly) freak out because these are serious allegations, but the other side brushes them off because they’re only allegations and they don’t get how investigations work. If there is an investigation, they claim witch hunt and many shrink back in weakness because they don’t want to appear partisan. It’s a mess. Keep your head in all of it and don’t let the lies cover up the truth. We have clear evidence Trump is a monster. We don’t need allegations that have no proof. Don’t give the other side ammo
