This would have been productive with a blue-ribbon commission and 2 years. But Biden should totally be able to hammer it out one rainy morning.

the greatest, highest earning, and most influential game of all time is Clash of Clans. It earns about $5mil a day.

Titles like Elden Ring, Zelda, Bioshock, KoTOR, God of War, Skyrim and the Witcher are obscure also-ran games that titans of the game industry (people who fund video game development) consider them failures.

EDIT: I changed some stuff.

I've always suspected that many of these kinds of images were staged or propaganda.

Every so often you'll see a meme on Reddit with a bunch of American teenagers being athletic in the 60s. The meme suggests that people were healthy and fit back then, but I happen to know that the footage was for a physical fitness push at the time (gotta do more pushups than the commies) and the athletes were far from typical students.

Even popular egalitarian movements face significant resistance to social and economic change. This will not only come from elites who stand to loose from social change, but also from common people who for one reason or another oppose that which benefits themselves. Beyond the social and economic connections to the elite, the social inertia to change is on the side of capital.

The solution, from Bolivar to Lenin to Castro has been to force the people to be free because you can't have socialist democracy if people would vote to return to capitalism or colonialism.

Leftists have long talked about "educating" the populace, but this is another tempting avenue for creeping totalitarianism. It's not like capital is innocent of coercion, but so long as it accommodates the ignorant, it has an overwhelming advantage over a system that requires an improved humanity.

I suppose we'll iron this out. Remember that the social anchors for capital are hundreds of years old and have their roots in feudalism and aristocracy. Socialism is young and her sins are close in our minds not because their failures are extraordinary but because they're recent.

The problem here isn't nutrition or fallacy from nature.

The problem is that everything special about RFK jr. was true before his umbilical chord was cut.

According to the SCOTUS, the State and police have no constitutional duty to protect the public, uphold the law, or enforce court orders.

I enjoyed the channel "forgotten weapons". I think guns are neat, but I don't wanna hear any right wing NRA bullshit. The presenter avoided politics and I was happy.

Then he did a series on guns from Rhodesia. OK, I give him the benefit of the doubt, though people who are interested in Rhodesia are way more sus than those interested in Nazi Germany. But then, the channel featured anti-riot weapons at the height of the George Floyd summer and I can only view that as pro-pig messaging. Fuck that channel.

A quick Google search of the name leads to results about British adventurer and environmentalist David Mayer de Rothschild…

This is likely the explanation. GPT has some kind of bug in the antisemitism filter.

They have a clear mandate from misogynists.

Suction machines are used to remove excess mucus from the sinuses and throat in medical settings. The public should not use these machines because you can accidentally stimulate a nerve in your throat that can cause your heart to slow, beat irregularly, or stop.

It's a mistake to believe that conservatives would move to the left if they just had better information. Great journalism is out there. If an algorithmic echo chamber prevents people from seeing it that's hardly the reporter's fault. I'd go further to say that the algorithms can't be blamed for giving us what we want.

What we learned from the documents made public during the Dominion lawsuit against Fox News was that the hosts, producers, and executives were terrified of upsetting their audience. After all these years of liberal commentators telling us that Fox was radicalizing Memaw and Poppop, when we got a peak into the sausage factory it was the opposite. The viewers were radicalizing Fox.

Conservatives don't become deplorables because they're misinformed. Conservatives get misinformed because they're deplorable. Don't get it twisted.

Can you imagine how bloodthirsty the pigs would be if we didn't have all these guns keeping them pacified?

In the past, laminated glass was usually installed in the windshield, with side and rear windows being tempered only.

The difference is that tempered glass is per-stressed so that when it cracks, it shatters into many tiny and dull pieces. Laminated is the same thing, but with layers of plastic sandwiched with layers of tempered glass. Laminated glass will still shatter, but will be held together by the plastic layers.

In an emergency, small improvised, or purpose built tools meant to shatter tempered glass will be useless if the glass is laminated.
