Well yeah, so it seems strange to credit religion specifically for not murdering or exploiting people.
-
Historically this doesn't hold up, religion has easily gone hand in hand with murder, exploitation, and other atrocities.

I was about to say that SNL was trash but then I noticed it was Jim Carey so that might be worth watching. Yeah, Trump has never been poor and the truth is he's just a rich **** who likes gaming the system. I think rather than laughing at Trump for not quite being the bizzness man he plays on TV we should be concerned how such people can do whatever the **** they want with almost zero repercussions.

Well ain't this something? Unfortunately the most likely outcome is that Trump survives and claims that his survival means Covid-19 is no big deal while he will pushes for stuff that endangers more people. By now it should be obvious that Trump doesn't care about the danger of Covid-19 and would gladly sacrifice millions of people at the altar of productivity, anyone hoping for a "come to God" moment is delusional.

https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/how-groups-voted-2016 Breaking it up into just 3 income brackets, under $50k voted much more for Clinton, $50-$100 preferred Trump by a bit, and over $100k were split. Less educated doesn't necessarily mean working class and the age difference probably has significance as well. As an electrician/residential appliance installer who works full time, I'm below the $50k and from what I've seen most millennials and zoomers in working class jobs are as well. Trump's biggest lead (aside from party and ideology) is white people and men, which I'd reckon is a bigger predictor for reading Breitbart and watching FOX than being old or uneducated. My dad is one such fella, he thinks the pandemic is fake news and that climate change is just the world tipping on its axis.

I didn't watch the debate, did Trump throw his **** around while Biden just rolled along uninspiringly?

The stupidest rpg companions.

Now that I think of it, the Pawns in Dragons Dogma. It'd be one thing if they were just blank slates, but not being able to get hybrid classes really sucks. I have 250 hr in Kingmaker, of which at least 100 (in all likelihood 200) is having the game running while I do other things. The game is ok, but the love some folks have for it is headscratching. It's really weird to see people who hate turn-based games praise it, given that it's built on a turn-based ruleset jammed into a real time chasis. I think Deadfire is better in every way, but I guess my taste is weird. -

I'm right from a historical and current standpoint. When most current Marxists engage in intraleft disputes with their great other, the anarchists, their go to response is quoting "On Authority" and saying something to the effect of "authoritarianism is good, actually". Those that don't have usually managed to formulate an anarchistic politic, often without having read any anarchists. Your history of the left is lacking and you should read some books instead of wikipedia.
-
Marxists are largely bootlicking authority lovers though, and those that aren't are anarchists in denial.

I watched The Devil All The Time a few days ago and thought it was pretty good. Yelling "DELUSIONS" to get out of **** seems like a winning move tbh.

Lack of talent, imagination, and humor are limiting factors. Edgelords would end up making something where they virtually harm their ex. Me too. Ace Attorney might have already done it.

Baldur's Gate 3 - the 2nd thread
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Amentep's topic in Computer and Console
It's probably unpleasant and I feel for those folks. I knew a guy who had a job editing porn and he.... didn't enjoy it. But you can now multiplayer romance, which is like reading Sutter Cane. -

https://store.steampowered.com/newshub/app/1086940/view/2781493125012891159 The reactions to this ought to be interesting. -
Why? The same type of people who make up Trump's ilk are the same type of people in charge of state governments. They don't have problems subverting elections by gerrymandering, voter purges, id laws, closure of polling centers, and other methods designed to curtail certain people's ability to vote. Is it really that much of a stretch for them to subvert in the ways the article suggests?

Whelp looks like ****s going down in Louisville.

I'm not sure why anyone was expecting consistency, these are the same people who will wax on about freedom and call for mass arrests in the same breath after all. I doubt it will matter to their supporters either.

Speaking of MLK, the political cartoons of him when he was still alive are interesting and topical. http://www.kleefeldoncomics.com/2016/01/on-history-mlk-cartoons-of-yesteryear.html?m=1 Really makes you think those condemning the present protests would have opposed the civil rights movement for being too violent and supported police brutalizing people they don't like. Kinda funny some things don't change. I used to believe "idpol" (for which I've never seen a consistent definition, seemingly everyone has their own conception) was a motivator for the rise of the alt-right, but after having had years of experience talking to them I think they already held those views (perhaps in a more mild form) and would have emerged regardless of annoying liberal pundits badgering them about being ****. The "idpol" seems to be something they (media personalities) seek out to get offended by, like trawling youtube and blogsites for some 15 second clip of 20ish kids yelling to feed their audience of braindead bootlickers.

Sega. Now that I think of it, Obsidian could have been working on Dungeon Siege 4 this whole time as Microsoft already owns the ip.
-
I can honestly say I didn't see that coming. With Outer Worlds and Avowed I don't think Obsidian will be doing Fallout again, but who the **** knows at this point? Maybe Microsoft will scoop up EA and Obsidian will end up making KOTOR3.

Skarpen is almost certainly the alt of sharp_one, or somehow we got a guy from the same place with the same beliefs and has the same beef with Gromnir. Going by the Trump supporters here only two live in the US. You can argue that US politics is world politics, but the parasocial relationship these fellas have with Trump is kind of weird. But we are grown men spending an inordinate amount of time on a videogame forum so such is to be expected.

I recall us having a similar conversation before where you conceded that government control (in the form of police enforcing property and laws I believe) was necessary for your ideology to work. Does that mean there is nothing "libertarian" about the US Libertarian Party and (most of) its fellow travelers?
