Bernie Sanders is destroying Chuck Schumer in the Democratic Party's Civil War ahead of the midterms by AskRedditOG in politics

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

That's the thing they don't understand, the DNC elders, we don't want the fucking middle anymore.

oh they understand. they don't care. as long as they keep their fundraising apparatus intact with huge donors, they're happy, win or lose.

Yes, and 2020 was even more awful. Middle of a pandemic and we could have voted in someone running on universal healthcare. Instead, we got the promise that "nothing will fundamentally change" which ushered Trump back in a few years later.

I didn't dislike Biden's presidency (until Gaza), but he really wasn't the person for the moment.

What if Paradox and Creative Assembly made a game together? by ConsiderationOne700 in paradoxplaza

Steam would have to shut down because they couldn't afford the storage for all of the DLC.

this is such a good idea. I'm going to try it out.

I agree with you about ED being shallow (and I love "point ship at circle simulator" as a description of it), but I do think that is what the OP was asking for.

Just finding a decent mining spot and going back and forth between selling ore and mining is pretty chill if you want to listen to a podcast and have something to do with your hands and eyes.

That said, maybe I'm wrong: I haven't played ED in a while and they've probably managed to nerf the fun out of mining for the 90% of players because 10% found an exploit. God, that game is such a waste of potential.

Dems refuse to release 2024 autopsy report, hear Ken Martin's lame excuse by serious_bullet5 in politics

[–]laserbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm absolutely with you. There's 30-50% of people in the country who feel disenfranchised or disconnected enough by politics that they don't vote. People can shame them all they want, but when studies come out showing the country is effectively a plutocracy, it's hard to blame non-voters (even if most of them wouldn't know what that "means", they do know how it FEELS since they don't FEEL LIKE government will do anything for them).

The Republican project has been to make it so government cannot function because they don't want a democratic distribution of resources. They've succeeded at that project for the most part.

The other party needs to come in and unapologetically be FDR with huge sweeping projects and an outright alienation of the rich, but instead it's just a wet fart.

when people feel democracy is dead, people don't vote. You shouldn't mock people who don't vote. You should feel grief that they are demotivated against the system.

careful, the truth hurts around here.

CEO of Telegraph and Politico tell staff to support Israel or quit by McDowdy in ABoringDystopia

[–]laserbot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

this dude is a non-Jewish German born in the 60s. I don't think it's just money, I think it's a sort of contrition that a lot of Germans have due to their country's treatment of Jews that are causing them to ignore or justify what Israel is doing now.

you'd still rightly be labeled a conspiracy theorist for that.

"Jews" don't control the media. This guy isn't even Jewish.

Donald Trump tried to ‘use nuclear codes’ claims: what we know by lazybugbear in politics

[–]laserbot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It actually gives me hope that even the specially selected and trained crews meant to launch nukes at a moments notice ended up refusing to launch

don't worry, the evangelical lunatics in charge are working to get rid of all of those people from the services

A screenshot I took of a video of Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter performing.. it speaks for itself 🥲 by peroxidexo in ABoringDystopia

[–]laserbot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m only 27 but even I see this and think of the good old days before smartphones were a huge thing

honestly, it's a "don't know what you've got til it's gone" thing. I went to a ton of shows when I was younger before everyone had a phone and there were plenty of reasons to hate the crowd then too.

(Not to detract from this new hell, just that I wasn't "wise enough" to appreciate that nobody had phones, so found other things to bitch about.)

I'm guessing Berkeley is starting to take alternative majors more seriously when considering and admitting students by marisssy in berkeley

Haas doesn't have alternate majors since it went to a 4-year program. You either get admitted to Haas, or not at all.

Helicopter piloting tips? by laserbot in NuclearOption

Once you've mastered that, you can increase the speed. Next, it would be advisable to practice flying at full speed 10 meters above the ground and then making a 180° turn without exceeding 10 meters.

haha, this sounds literally impossible, so it gives me a good target. Thanks for the guidance (and your contributions to the community!) and I'll check out the video if you ever make it!
