Nazis don’t believe in their own bullshit. They just like having excuses. But normal, everyday people who aren’t paying much attention will see us spread bullshit and say “gee, I guess both sides really are the same” and decide to not get involved. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

Hammer the facts.

Even that is ceding an important point. Since when is drug running punishable by death? And since when is that executable without trial? And since when do we have the authority to enforce that outside of our territory?

Imagine Saudi Arabia bombing Americans in boats in the Caribbean and claiming that it’s because they were bringing bourbon to their country. That’s how ridiculous this is.

If he died in his sleep on live TV in the middle of these cabinet meeting tugjobs, there would still be people who believed that the Clintons killed him, but it would be way fewer than otherwise.

I hope Joe Biden outlives him. Just to spite everybody who said that Biden was too old and senile but never pointed that same criticism at their old and senile blob.

Spreading lies muddies the water. If they prove that some of what’s said about them is bullshit, then it invites questioning the veracity of the actual problems that we haven’t made up. Oversaturation of information along with some unknown amount of lies makes people say fuck it, idk what to believe, and then they tune out.

Any info on that? I think there’s plenty of real shit out there that we don’t need to make things up to criticize them over, so I’d rather not spread this without any kind of corroboration. She seems like a regular conservative ghoul who sucks at art but wants to be famous for acting and singing, and failing that she’ll try to be a hot podcaster, and failing that she’ll be a trad wife to a bonafide party member.

But surely it’s just a total coincidence that every non Republican who voted yes is not up for reelection in 2026, right? /s

I’m in VA. Tim Kaine voted yes. I’ve messaged him demanding an explanation and that coward fuckface piece of shit still hasn’t responded. I contacted my other Senator, Mark Warner, and asked him to publicly denounce Kaine’s vote or else I would be supporting a primary opponent. He gave a bullshit response about supporting federal workers. So I’ll be looking for somebody with a fucking spine to replace his bitch-ass. I’m sick of these fucking losers selling us out to fascists. They’re gonna push us all too far, and the most desperate people will do unthinkable things, and they’ll wonder how it all got to be so chaotic and unstable and bloody.

And they wonder why Luigi was so popular.

Then they should be publicly arguing to convince the Republicans into supporting impeachment or else make them publicly support the war crimes. “Aww but it’s hard and they’ll probably vote it down.” My guy, that’s the fucking job. Make them risk reelection. Make them choose. Doing nothing just lets them do whatever they want. The impeachment might not go through, but it puts them on the record for supporting war crimes, and then you can use that in campaigns. And you can campaign as the party of accountability, even when the odds are stacked against you.

If you’re not gonna play nice and you’re not gonna play dirty, then you’re just announcing that you’re not gonna play, so it’s time to fucking resign and let somebody else fight this fight. Fuck Jeffries and every spineless Democrat standing in the way of actual problem solvers while the country burns down.

You’re not supposed to wear a band shirt to the band’s show, and you’re really not supposed to wear a band shirt to the band’s show when you’re in the fucking band. Absolutely reeks of desperation.

Lmao I can’t believe I forgot that. Glaring plothole in my dream.

Dwayne the doc Johnson

If he wants to ever be president, he needs to either invoke the 25th amendment or get on board with impeachment.

I dreamed that trump was impeached again and this time the Senate voted 50-50. Couch fucker was the tie-breaking vote, and he voted to convict, effectively electing himself president.

It’s disheartening that this wasn’t a good dream, but it was still too good to realistically hope for.

I haven’t finished season 2 yet, but I’ll say that after the rough beginnings I’m laughing harder than I did in season 1. I get why people didn’t stick around past the first dozen or so episodes though. My wife critiqued that it was a little too video-gamey, which I think is fair, especially in the first half.

According to Kash, the files are controlled by the director of the FBI. So yeah, I’m thinking he can and should do that now while he’s still director of the FBI. But I’m betting he won’t because he’s too much of a yesman lackey coward pissboy. Prove me wrong, Kash.

Not before the epidemic caused by all this holiday travel after all the confusion about vaccine rules. Hooray for getting air travel back on track.

I’m looking forward to the short circuit of ICE and border patrol agents having to choose whether to wear a mask like a “libtard pussy” or defy that guidance and show their ugly faces and maybe reveal who they are.

I disagree. There is no shortage of information. It’s just mixed in with a shitload of misinformation, disinformation, and bullshit, garnished with slop and irrelevant garbage to also have to sift through to find anything useful.

And we stopped teaching kids how to differentiate because we thought it would be more important to prove through standardized tests that kids are meeting curricula, but that means we all memorized “the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell” without actually breaking down what that phrase means.

Yeah, and when it comes to my phone, I’m the same way. Sure, I could get Graphene OS, but I just don’t see enough benefit to go through the headache of making the change and probably finding issues to troubleshoot. I’m not disliking my current experience, so why look for a fix? These people feel this way about Windows. They’re not giving Steam Machine a chance unless there’s an incentive, and it’s not gonna be significantly cheaper, so they’ll skip it.

But I think there will be enough people buying this that the industry will feel a shift. Enough people are pissed at Microsoft and/or modern console experiences and/or need to upgrade their system.

Agreed. I don’t blame CoD players or people who play other games that use kernel anticheat, and I don’t blame Valve for using something other than Windows here; the issue is lazy corporations choosing to use a shortcut for anticheat which doesn’t catch all cheaters and locks Linux out.

But the reality is that most people interested in giving this product a shot are not the people who play CoD, and if they do then they’re either happy on console or on their Windows PC already. Steam Machine isn’t for them, and the people interested in a Steam Machine aren’t interested in these games. It’s like somebody looking to buy a Corvette being told that it can’t tow a boat. Yeah, cool, that’s not what I’m trying to do with it, but I guess thanks for pointing that out so people who don’t know any better won’t try?

I wonder if it could support an external DVD/BD drive via its USB ports. I assume yes, but that would be an extra purchase for you.

My Steam Deck feels about on par with PS4 in terms of power, and they say Steam Machine will be more like a PS5, so it sounds like it would be an upgrade over your PS4. Just more expensive, especially if you’re buying a disc drive.

I think that this thing coming out will only be beneficial to PC gamers, especially Linux users. This will encourage further development and standardization.

Fewer choices is a drawback, and it will limit the market share, but I think most people who would be interested in a Steam Machine probably don’t care that much about the kinds of games that utilize kernel anti cheat. Some buyers might just be displaying sour grapes, and some console CoD-like players might be looking to make the switch to PC but this is a nonstarter for them. I do truly feel bad that they won’t get a welcome mat through this path, but it’s neither their fault nor Valve’s fault.

I’m not naive enough to think there could be a change to how these companies do anti cheat, but if Steam Machine sells really well, it’d be cool to see these companies at least start developing with Linux in mind. Microsoft fucked up with 11, doubled down with terminating support for 10, and now Linux distros are blowing up; then Valve comes in with this? Idk what % of market share Linux would need to hit for EA to start giving a shit about potential revenue that they’re just declining to chase, but I think we’re about to see unprecedented numbers that could tempt them. If nothing else, maybe a separate Linux release that isn’t cross platform, but is a sort of compilation game. CoD BlOps Linux: whatever the latest one’s campaign is, plus its multiplayer, and like top 10 maps from the past few games or something. Idk. Do a Linux release less often but still capture those customers.

Exactly this! I bought a used steam deck and found that I could trust Linux nowadays. Then I wiped my laptop before Windows 10 lost security support and put PopOS on it and it worked fine. All the while, I’ve been loosely planning a desktop build to replace that laptop from 2015 because it’s old af but just couldn’t justify spending $1500 on parts when I already have a PS5. My plan was to not buy a PS6 when that comes out and just build my own Steam Machine and throw Nobara or Chimera or PopOS onto it, but now I probably won’t have to!
