	It was 'very honest' that Trump told the electorate he didn't know what Project 2025 was despite his VP candidate having written the introduction to the published version and having several of its key architects of said document working for him and which he has subsequently went on to implement Project 2025's agenda without fail? Doesn't seem very honest to me.

	https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2025/11/4/nyc-mayoral-election-live-mamdani-leads-polls-against-cuomo-sliwa I see Mamdani will win the NY mayoral race What a racist country the US is that a person born in Uganda who openly believes in socialism could win an election in the wealthiest city in the US Those Nazi\racist people in the US, Im outraged

	I would argue Trump was very honest on what he would change and implement if he won the election, at least on main things The main voting issues that concerned US citizens were crime illegal migration\border control inflation Things like DEI or the Israeli vs Palestinian conflict were not primary voting issues So Trump will and should be judged on those deliverables in the midterms. This weeks elections in NJ and Virginia should be an interesting bellwether for the midterms and the GOP current popularity But its a silly point you making and false equivalence A person cannot run for the job of US president if they fail certain basic health expectations and Dementia is one of those things So Biden should never had been the Dem candidate. Whats the point of saying " but Biden would have been better " when his cognitive reality disqualifies him Its a completely hypothetical debate and seems like a waste of time. You can argue Harris would have been better than Trump but she lost the election So Im not making a rhetorical point, Im stating categorically " Biden was never a presidential candidate because of his dementia " And then you probably not aware of the racism and discrimination against white men that DEI has created in certain countries Like the case of the UK RAF, it happens and you should be outraged. Discrimation is wrong !!! And it was a women who exposed this practice https://news.sky.com/story/complete-nonsense-if-raf-is-pausing-job-offers-for-white-men-over-impossible-diversity-targets-javid-says-12674947 "Sajid Javid has said it would be "complete nonsense" if the RAF has placed an "effective pause" on offering jobs to white male recruits in favour of women and ethnic minorities. It comes after defence sources told Sky News on Tuesday that the head of RAF recruitment had resigned in protest at the move which aims to hit "impossible" diversity targets. The senior female officer apparently handed in her notice in recent days amid concerns that any such restrictions on hiring, however temporary and limited, could undermine the fighting strength of the Royal Air Force (RAF), the sources said.

				The All Things Political Topic - SNAFU edition
Chairchucker replied to BruceVC's topic in Way Off-Topic
The comment I replied to was "Can you imagine if Biden had become president with his condition". The alternative that we actually got is very relevant. And in a subsequent back and forth you expressed incredulity that someone else would prefer Biden over Trump. So yes, you were absolutely making the rhetorical point that you felt Biden would've been worse, so why lie about it? As to the question of systemic racism, like I mentioned, on other occasions when people (including me) have sourced evidence that it definitely exists, you've kinda shrugged and said 'well agree to disagree' so forgive me if I don't feel particularly motivated to expend the effort again on someone who has consistently demonstrated willingness to give infinite benefit of the doubt to fascists and white supremacists. - 
	Lol. True, not in the way you're arguing, though.

	None of that has any relevance to what I said Let me repeat it for clarity and give more context . The Dem strategists lied to there supporters and the world about the collapse of Bidens mental state. They didnt care that he was suffering from Dementia because they had convinced themselves he was the " only " candidate who could beat Trump and ironically when the truth came out during that debate with Trump it only made things worse for them and should people vote for them What the Dems should have done after the midterms is find a new candidate selected through the DNC process but they decided to stick with Biden despite his dementia If being lied to doesn't concern you thats fine but its one of the reasons Trump had such a sweeping victory Everything you mentioned is issues and criticisms with Trump, thats not what Im talking about And yes I dont think systemic racism exists widely in the US because my definition of that is where you have laws and systems that are racist. Like in Apartheid, that was an example of systemic racism. But you can post an example of a US law or bill that is specifically racist and I will read it. But racism like all forms of bigotry does exist in the US like all other countries but its not "systemic " Then as @Zoraptorsaid I didnt want Trump to be the GOP candidate. But he won the RNC and he became the candidate, thats how national conventions work in the USA Then I always accept the outcomes of free and fair elections in any country even if Im not happy with the outcome and Trump won in a free and fair election Thats how Democracy works and Im not going to change my view on this because of the candidate

	Now that you mention it, my kids don't like it either. I loved it as a kid but mine don't. I didn't like coleslaw as a kid. I don't think I started eating it much until I was in my mid to late 20s, and I don't think I ever made it until my 30s. Never made apple slaw though. Maybe my kids will like it, but probably not.

	Well, I did have a save prior to the Montelli execution room. Heres why this is important: you have to trigger the execution cut scene. Then (!!!!) Montelli takes the elevator up! You fight him in the room that freezes the game. So, when I did it correctly, instead of the game freezing, I get a cut scene that includes a long conversation with him (see pic below and compare with above). Makes sense now why the game was freezing, the door triggers a conversation with a guy I had already killed twice. So, like most early crash/bug/freezes, I hope you have an earlier save. If you don't, I offer this: it is a fun game, and any time you start getting upset, the purpose for which you bought the game isn't being served. Walk away for a bit and come back when some of the fun can be squeezed out. Life is just too short to get angry at the things we cannot change. Peace my friends. I hope this helped.

I can Report that i am now in contact via e-mail with the obsidian Support,so they are definetly aware of this Bug. Lets Hope for a quick fix - 
	umm yeah... you aren't even trying anymore. the biden stuff failed. the circular strawman got the stuffing knocked out if it multiple times-- am not knowing the specific motivation for a doctor administering the initial MoCA test o' trump and we sure never stated that presumed dementia were necessarily that motivation. am having linked to sources describing how the MoCA is actual used as 'posed to zor mischaracterizations. have shared the observations o' a real psychiatrist who were a professor at johns hopkins (could provide multiple other psychiatrist and neurologist opinions btw,) and is convinced trump has dementia and that his condition is definitional degenerative... though in an over-abundance o' caution, and precise 'cause we do not have accurate trump medical records, am unwilling to go so far our self. when there is conflicting info it is better to wait for clarity before announcing a conclusion which may look foolish in five minutes, a situation with which zor is all too familiar. your patently unbelievable gullibility in believing statements from trump about his health exams in the absence o' clear and convincing evidence to the contrary is ludicrous. etc. and so on... before the 2024 election, we observed how trump's mental fitness were such that we wouldn't trust him to operate a gas stove, and we sure as hell wouldn't voluntarily be a passenger in a car he were driving in boston or chicago rush hour traffic. if we wouldn't trust trump's mental (as opposed to physical) faculties in such situations, and am suspecting many/most here would have similar reservations, the notion we would be okie dokie with trump as President of the United States were untenable... even w/o reflecting on all the jan 6 (tds? HA!), digital rape, business fraud, tariffs and mass deportation promises and so on and so forth. we didn't need a clinical diagnosis o' dementia, but a normal and reasonable person, given all the circumstances and expert opinion on the matter previously shared these past few pages, and recognizing that trump has lied about his health since always, and has specific been unbelievable about the MoCA since 2018, would no doubt find it challenging to conclude with any certainty that trump were mental ok. potus should not be an office where you need have such a debate. go to 15:00 is maybe how zor thinks, but hey, take trump at his word that he true believes that there aren't alot of people in that room who would get every question on the MoCA correct. doctors almost never see a perfect score. *chuckle* he is convinced o' such. no doubt you believe that his doctors were legit surprised by how well he scored. there were a guy on this board recent who posited "chronic narcissism" as the motivation for initial taking and then bragging about passing the MoCA. hard to believe, no? but hey, if trump is so delusional that he thinks that what he were saying at 15:00 about the difficulty o' the MoCA test and his doctor's responses, then maybe you are right... but 'course then we got a whole different set o' problems and am left back where we started that it don't matter if there trump is clinical demented 'cause he is clear nuts. @Chairchucker am seeming to recall a little detail which made the biden v. trump stuff irrelevant. HA! Good Fun!

	Playing a game called Seance of Blake Manor. It's an adventure/investigation/deduction game with a horror theme, set in late 19th century Ireland. It's first person view and lots interactable things, but the major twist is there is a time limit. Time doesn't go forward in actual time, or movement or even changing areas, but only by interacting with things. So instead of clicking everything and then trying to figure out what to do, you have think about your actions constantly. The mechanic was a huge turn off for me at first, it felt very arbitrary because it wasn't always obvious what thing had important info attached to it, and felt it encouraged save scumming. But once I got past the prologue, it seems there's much more leeway and it works fine. But maybe it'll all come crashing down on me later, when I find out I shouldn't have spent all that time going through ladies pants drawers.

	To be fair to Bruce not wanting Biden/ being relieved he isn't president is not the same as being happy Trump won. He might well prefer if some milquetoast US Keir Starmer equivalent or establishment republican won instead of either. Yes, it retains its same value. Which was an absolute refutation of your claim. It wouldn't matter if repeating the same thing doubled the value of your gaslighting though, since its value started out at zero. I mean really, you could just have dropped it. Not like I actually care, and it was an easy enough thing to miss. Tripling down, though, that is definition gaslighting. Ah, curiousity, the mother of speculation/ 'just asking questions'. Yes, you do have to come up with some kind of evidence of degeneration, when the source of your 'curiousity' dates back 8 years, two election campaigns, nearly 3 years as president etc etc and cognitive issues are almost always degenerative. Or, alternatively, suggest how it isn't degenerative in his case. Again, he was tested for anxiety and depression as well, does that mean his doctors think he's depressed? Doesn't seem very likely. You only think taking a MoCA is 'curious' and the other tests aren't because the MoCA reinforces your preconceived notion, and the others don't. As always, the only disorder you've shown actual evidence for Trump having is... being Trump, which everyone already knows about. (Said it before, will say it again: Trump speaks how people think. That is one of the reasons a lot of people like him, and relate to him no matter how silly it may seem for some random blue collar worker from Milwaukee or Toledo to relate to a 'billionaire'. Most people in the public eye train themselves for years to not speak as they think since typically a Trump like politician would fail instantly. Not speaking the same way you think is what the more, hmm, politically aware/ educated set tend to expect and will find any deviation from that unusual. But unusual does not in itself imply a disorder)

During Donald's second term, he has: Pardoned approximately 1500 people who stormed the capitol Signed an executive order to end birthright citizenship, while also telling the lie that the USA is the only country in the world that does this. (It was blocked for being unconstitutional.) Signed an executive order withdrawing the US from the Paris Climate Agreement. (Coincidentally, his campaign took $75mil from fossil fuel interests, and the new energy secretary founded a fracking firm.) Signed an executive order putting a pause on all US foreign development assistance programs Signed an executive order to end DEI (I know Bruce will probably approve of this one because every time someone links to a study that proves that systemic racism definitely still exists, thus necessitating things like DEI, he'll just go hmm agree to disagree) Appointed a secretary of defense with a history of allegations of sexual violence, alcoholism, workplace misconduct, being sympathetic to neo-nazis, and a white supremacy symbol tattooed on his chest Talked about the possibility of running for an unconstitutional third term Signed an executive order banning trans people from serving in the military Signed an executive order to restrict gender affirming health care to people under the age of 19, against the advice of current research on the subject Blamed a crash on 'DEI' while an investigation was still ongoing Appointed as secretary of health and human services a man who had part of his brain eaten by a worm, who has gone on to misinterpret a bunch of studies to perpetuate harmful stereotypes around biological differences between black and white people Empowered ICE to act with almost no oversight, leading to a number of false arrests and unchecked violence against legal immigrants and US citizens That was just January. It takes a mixture of stupidity and evil to look at this current administration and think 'what a relief we don't have Biden.' - 
	Brandyn Zwick started following Spire Grove cutscene not triggering
 - 
	I went to Spire Grove to find Ida for the Protectorate at the bridge, and went around trying to find the her and only found her arm. I knew something wasn't right when I went back to the bridge and was told its just a arm and to find the body. So I went back, and nothing. Eventually I found her house and found the note she wrote so I went back and it worked for the quest. Then the mission that sends you there to find a man looking for Protectorate Tech, and no one was there. I found online the cutscene of the man jumping to his death, but that never happened when I went there. I've done at least 6 or 7 quests since then and try to go back whenever to see if it works. I just want double jump lmao!

	Pretty much the title. I took before and after screenshots of adding the weapon to junk, but I found out it also removes the mods from armor and it works both ways. You can also see there's a significant loss of value (varies depending on the weapon and mods, of course). Maybe it's a bug. Maybe I've just discovered a tiny pocket rift eating up my equipment mods! Oooh the implications! Perhaps we can adapt this technology to force our enemies to fight in their skivvies!

	I did walk around a little before heading to town. I think a big part of it is narrative baggage from being part of the earth directorate. Like I can be a criminal who doesn't like the earth directorate and takes nothing serious. yet they decided to make me captain? Just in my mind you have to be a leader of some sort for the story to make sense. If you had been just a regular soldier it would feel a lot more natural. Starting off important takes something away from these types of games imo
