It's such an obvious, shitty playbook at this point.

1. "Republicans are gonna [bad thing]! Vote for us to stop them!"

2. Win election. Don't stop them (do pretty much fuckall for the average person).

3. Lose next election.

4. Feigned shock and outrage as Repubs win and do thing.

6. GOTO 1

I see I'm just a proxy for you to yell at what you actually wanna yell at.

I voted for Kamala and I didn't give up. I'm just describing the direction Dem leadership openly says they wanna go, and it's not leftwards and it's not popular.

I've consistently voted straight blue since I could vote

Dems had control of the 111th and 117th congresses under Dem Presidents and didn't move to codify abortion either time. They held it over our heads as a threat if Repubs won, and Repubs finally made good on the threat, and now women are dying

Well Schumer and Jeffries give a shit. They're literally paid to make sure we don't get M4A.

Yeah that's actually a perfect example; an issue they refused to stump on let alone codify because they wanted the "moderate conservative" vote, and now it's being rapidly eroded after SCOTUS struck down the caselaw that right was being upheld by.

"Resist"Libs: actually it's very important that we donate to Newsom so he can help them eliminate those groups because surely they'll stop there.

"Hitler liked dogs!" ass post. Truly, you are exemplary of the average intelligence of AI "artists".

RAM costs a fortune so Burger King can spy on their employees and fire them if they don't say "thank you".

It's incredible how dumb they think their audience is, and unfortunately a lot of them really are that dumb.

Yeah cool you paraded out some empty binders just for nobody to be arrested and for y'all to get mad at anyone talking about it less than a year later? Very cool.

Look dude I love Valve and think the "video games cause violence" like is idiotic and plainly false... But Valve does have a demonstrable gambling enablement problem.

CS:GO has.

It was literally the biggest story in gaming just a couple years ago.

Valve chooses what's available on their software. EA might suck shit for being huge assholes, but they do not, in any way shape or form, enable any form of gambling with their lootboxes whatsoever.

Yeah a lot of folks here need to get a grip.

Steam's great. I own every piece of hardware Valve has put out and it's (mostly) great. I'm gonna by the new controller the day it comes out. I've played the whole HL series and loved it.

But Valve was the first major, Western company to do lootboxes

Being an American is just such a fucking fever dream. We could've demonstrably reduced shootings in the US and globally by a significant margin by just firebombing 4chan's servers sometime in the 00's, but instead "hey look a popular video game with guns."

It's incredibly stupid.

It's extra cool because I have a vivid memory of my father, whose lap I sat in to press the shoot button in Quake 1/2, accusing me of being trained to use guns by video games the last time the American uniparty needed something to blame that wasn't internet inspired nihilistic fascism.

I grabbed it just for Beyond Citadel and Incision and now I'm bugging everyone I know irl to take my spare keys lmao

Praying the FDA starts going after phytoestrogens, and ends up pissing off tons of people by adding taxes/regulation to beer in a bid to go after tofu.

Lol they blocked me

Surely browbeating people unhappy about genocide and the erosion of civil rights will work this time! Hey maybe Newsom should try running Biden/Kamala's gaslighting about the economy while we're at it? And hell let's get the Cheneys back out.

We have no left leaning party in the US and you're why.

Thanks for the fully unhinged rant reminding everyone that blue MAGA is 100% real and reacts exactly as described if you're unhappy with Newsom (their chosen winner 3 years before we've even had a primary) being a bigoted shitheel.

They're Mormon.

I'm certain they haven't stopped, and won't stop until their wealth is forcibly reduced to a degree that they no longer perceive themselves as gods among insects--and this astronomic reduction of wealth is the compromise, not the just outcome.

lmao all I meant to convey was that these guys compare disfavorably to Narcissus

Narcissus at least liked himself (that was kinda his whole thing).

These guys demonstrably do not like themselves and distrust/hate everyone around them. This is just self-harm wrapped up in hatred and distrust of everyone around them, especially women.

They've been convinced that actual relationships aren't real, so the complications and challenges of an actual relationship are just affirmations of their ideology to them.

That implies a sincere relationship built on mutual trust and admiration is real and possible, which is the antithesis of the keystone of the ideology these guys buy into; that being the assertion that such relationships are a myth and a trap.

But that implies a sincere relationship built on mutual admiration and trust, which is something they've been explicitly told since childhood is a myth and a trap meant to ensnare and harm men. They've been made to believe that the only relationship with real value is built on aesthetics and control

The "far left", for these guys, consists entirely of random college students saying shit, and anonymous posts on Twitter.

It's just fuckin' GamerGate politics. "Ignore the systemic problems, look at this random nobody that was indirectly mean to you!"

The first regulation I'd put on AI is that all LLMs have to start all chats with some variation of "Well look who's back. Couldn't figure it out yourself so now you're using the search engine that pretends it can talk again?"

white culture cannot continue to exist because George RR Martin is too lazy to keep making it up :(

Just don't tell him every single performer is queer. It'd really spoil the magic for him.
