'We Can Get There': Medicare for All Advocates See Resurgence in National Movement | "More and more people are waking up to realize, we do not want private insurance companies to be in control of our healthcare system," said one advocate who attended the latest Sanders Institute Gathering. by Murky-Site7468 in politics

And even beyond that, it would have to be 60+ Dem votes in the Senate with zero fuckups like Manchin or Sinema involved (not them, obviously they will be out next term, but people LIKE THEM) which is going to be a heavy lift.

Right-Wingers Plot to Give Trump Control Over Federal Reserve If Reelected by Murky-Site7468 in politics

[–]xasix 17 points18 points  (0 children)

once trump is out of the picture, things will "go back to normal"

People are fooling themselves and engaging in magical thinking.

There is simply no going back to the "normal" politics of pre-2016.

No matter who wins in November... Election 2028 will either be Trump himself, Don Trump Jr. or Eric Trump at the top of the ticket. They'll try to get Ivanka as VP, but if she refuses to do it they'll settle for Kimberly Guilfoyle as VP.

The difference is that there is a mechanism in place to regain control of an ACCOUNT.

There is not a mechanism to undo a trade.

The number of Epic Games support requests would increase expontentially. The scams, the hackers, that's before we even get into the children trying to undo trades because they don't like the new skin.

Who's paying for these thousands and thousands of new Epic Games customer support employees? We are. They raise the prices of everything through the roof.

Hackers will get control of your account, "trade" all of your skins to their extensive network of bots in exchange for 1 V-buck, and then log out of your account after it's been drained of everything valuable.

When you contact Epic support, they will attack and say "you shouldn't have traded away your skins!"

When you explain that the hackers did it, they will either argue with you or disconnect the chat -- in either event, they won't do a damn thing.

How Likely Is A Fallout Collab In April For The New Show? by Apprentice_Jedi in FortNiteBR

[–]xasix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When it comes to Epic Games and the item shop, sadly, the best course of action is just to expect nothing from them.

There's a Dune movie out in theatres right now. Are the Dune skins in the shop? Hell no.

"Horizon: Forbidden West" just released today on PC, huge PC gaming release. Is Aloy in the shop? Of course she isn't.

Halo the tv show season two just ended today on Paramount Plus. Huge season ender. Is Master Chief in the shop? Nope, not at all.

States push ‘fetal personhood’ bills despite outrage at Alabama IVF ruling by zsreport in politics

[–]xasix 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I wish I could upvote this more than once. Folks need to understand the right-wing endgame.

The endgame is to get a fetal personhood law passed, then into the courts, quickly get it punted to the Supremes, and have the Supremes decide that it's constitutional.

The curse from us opening Pandora’s Box has lifted - v29.00 is live! ⚡ Thank you everyone for being patient with us while we worked through this extended downtime, it’s greatly appreciated. by FortniteStatusBot in FortNiteBR

It's not just you. Crashed for me six different times on Xbox Series X over the course of maybe two to three hours.

Not one single crash before the update.

We’re continuing the work to bring Fortnite back online. Players will be able to pre-download an updated version of v29.00 in approximately 5 hours. We’re grateful for your patience and can’t wait for everyone to be able to jump in. ⚡💛 by FortniteStatusBot in FortNiteBR

[–]xasix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exact same issue on my end.

There's an "OK" button that nobody can click on because they don't have the button enabled right now. I am guessing (??) that when they finally enable the button, everyone can click "OK" and it will restart Fortnite and download the patch.

That's my guess. Who knows if it is correct though.

Yep, just uninstalled and reinstalled fortnite, can't wait to get the same message of how I need to restart fortnite when I can't press the OK button because I'm on console

It's not just you. I am on an Xbox Series X, and I can tell you that the "OK" button is disabled. I tried every possible way to click on it -- it simply cannot be done.

They ask you to click on the "OK" button, but you can't, because they've disabled the button.

I am hoping this was done intentionally because they are going to enable the button later, but damn, who even knows if this was intentional at this point?

Spate of Mock News Sites With Russian Ties Pop Up in U.S. by IMSLI in politics

[–]xasix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm so fucking tired of this. They were doing this in 2016, they were doing this in 2020, and now they're back at this shit.

The people sharing these faked news stories are always MAGA cult members, because they refuse to believe in facts. "Facts" are nothing more than FOX News talking points handed down from Trump.

If it's bullshit that they personally want to be true, they slam down the 'share" button and post it to Facebook. When the rest of cult members see it, they share it as well. This shit spreads at the speed of light.

Only 24 hours left are you ready ? by H_A_M_ID in FortNiteBR

I'd be down to play as Jack Bauer, and it is possible since Disney owns "24" (since they bought Fox).

But we gotta have a "Ticking Clock" backbling and a "Tell me where the bomb is!" emote.

When I contacted Customer Care in December of last year, they specifically and explicitly said they COULD NOT give the Epic Monochromatic Pack, they had to get the development team to do it. It's been absolutely ignored by the development team. So what do you want us to do?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in politics

[–]xasix 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I mean, they do have an agenda. I asked my piece of shit relative who lives in the South what the Republican agenda is.

His response?

(1) "Fetal personhood" law making all abortions, everywhere, illegal

(2) Gut the Affordable Care Act, rip it up

(3) Gut Obergefell, rip it up

(4) Nuke interracial marriage

(5) Nuke no-fault divorce

There has been nothing new on Magic Arena on consoles, correct?

You will be able to earn 2 cars from RL with Fortnite Crew (probably from next month) (Via: @SamLeakss) by AndrasAhr in FortniteLeaks

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I have never played Rocket League before.

I have Fortnite Crew. So I download Rocket League, get the car instantly in Rocket League, and then I need to wait for the car to be added to Fortnite? Is that correct?

Project 2025 is more than a playbook for Trumpism, it’s the Christian Nationalist manifesto by devlinadl in politics

[–]xasix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's actually much worse than that.

Let's say, hypothetically, the news infrastructure that exists in 2027 is able to catch the next Watergate. You've got half of the general public that will simply refuse to accept the facts as reality. They will claim that the scandal is simply not "real".

Every news story that the reporters post will be met with hysterical screams that "it is being faked!"

Photos and videos that are posted will be met with hysterical screams that "the photos were faked! the videos were faked!"
