  1. Practically speaking, I probably will too. But Democrats in Washington are no better when it comes to lobbyists, war, special interests (like the banking and auto industries), public education, and a host of other issues. They don't want to win, they want to use the bogeymen surrounding abortion and race to get donor funds. It's no wonder they get accused of "identitarian" politics, while giving mere lip service to their supporters who aren't rich. The Republican base votes enthusiastically and in a coordinated manner. Democrats can't consistently garner that kind of support because they don't follow through, or they capitulate too much. Or they don't want to, because then they would have to actually enact the policy goals they campaign on. I hope Biden would step down with these numbers, but barring some kind of medical incapacitation, I would be surprised. I think he has a problem stepping aside, much like Pelosi and Schumer. And the DNC will support him just as last time and with Clinton before that. I haven't heard about anybody considering it aside from Cornell West, and in the protracted campaign cycles of our times, it's getting late.
  2. I usually just watch gameplay videos. I can skip around and decide for myself if it looks fun, rather than sitting through somebody's whole 10+ minute review structured into paragraphs.
  3. I doubt each of those steps individually. (unfortunately) On a tangent, I don't think the "another... appeal to conservatives" strategy is a good one. Watch out for the ratchet effect.
  4. H is the 8th letter of the alphabet. "88" is used by modern Nazis as code for "Heil Hitler".

    Cycling

    My chain snapped halfway to work this morning. I paddled it most of the way there, really wishing my seatpost had a quick release to lower so I could get more than a tiptoe of traction. But it was faster than walking. I planned to get to the bike shop after work and ask them to throw on a chain for me real quick. Then to the grocery store. The shop is closed all week I locked up and walked to the store, came back, put the groceries in my crate, and brought the bike on the train home; I'll put on a new chain tomorrow. All in all it killed about an hour of my day (and some awkward movement) but I am off tomorrow!
  6. Soylent Green is people, the planet of the apes is Earth in the future, Aeris dies, Tyler Durden is all in his head. Bruce Willis was dead the whole time.

  8. Genocide is genocide. I condemn the actions, not any heritage, religion, or other immutable or identity characteristics. I care for the citizens of Israel as much as those of Palestine or Russia. You can stop putting antisemitism and hatred and bigotry in my mouth any time.
  9. I haven't finished most games, because I suck. Here are some where I got close: Ittle Dew Rayman Origins BloodRayne Alien Homind Viewtiful Joe Here are some where I did not: any Metroid game Guardian Legend Crystalis Geist P.N.03
  10. It might be cool for posterity but as far as I'm concerned your word is as good documentation as anything. That would confirm 8 of the 14 18 having come in the square form factor. @ThePhleo when might you be on your PC again?
  11. And I explained why in my immediate reply thereafter. Look up the phrase if you aren't familiar. Yes, that's my reaction, because you have a broad brush mischaracterizing the opinions of a pretty large, and growing, contingent of people on both sides of the Atlantic, and insisting anybody not on Israel's side must be against the Jewish people or faith. Is Bernie Sanders an antisemite? Yeah. I'm being pithy. I'm tired of your dismissal of any editorial opposing opinion as "propaganda". Facebook censors what little info can trickle out of the invasion zone (I'm sorry, which side are you on vis-á-vis Russia?) with internet and other utilities shut down. The American administration is supporting its fellow longtime imperialist, and nobody dare oppose this because they're Hitler's victims. The propaganda is in the mouths of the oppressors. Wait, is Russia waging war not terrorizing Ukraine? What exactly do you think war is?
  12. Tell me two things you disagree with in the content of that essay, without attacking the source. Your whole issue hinges on the idea that Hamas wants to destroy all of Israel but completely ignore it's entirely mutual, Israel has given them a reason for decades. war is the rich man's TERRORISM is the poor man's war
  13. Is this hateful anti-Zionism more substantial than a flyer I saw on a telephone pole? https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/israel-palestine-war-us-congress-zionism-menacing-message-jewish-faith
