Shame.

Correct, candidates are not entitled to votes, but I dont know what voting system your fantasy world uses.

Lets ignore parties for a moment and just say you have two people running that are different degrees of evil. I would argue a failure to vote for the lesser evil is to abide the greater evil (does this make you evil?). In this case, abstaining or apathy itself is also a choice, and would be cosidered evil because you did not act against the greater evil.

Lets add a more realistic third candidate in and demonstrate the spoiler effect. Where there is an idealogical divide, the side with the fewer candidates wins. If a third party throws their hat into the ring, they end up encroching on support held by their idealogical peers, effectivly handing the win to their oppsition by simply existing.

Combining both of these observations looks an awful lot like the electoral college and the US voting system. Neither major party is willing to allow a third party to exist in their space, because if they do they lose by spoiler effect and forces people to strategicly vote instead of standing by their ideals. The solution is getting rid of first-past-the-post and moving to a ranked choice or instant run-off system similar to the ones found in the EU, this would allow people to put their ideal candidate first without jepordizing their idealogical peers. Until such a time when that is a reality, being a protest voter/non-voter is making a choice against your own self interests and the interests of those you care for.

Coward… If you cant stand in the cold for 15 min. To give a speech you shouldn’t be able to do the job. If he is worried about getting harrison’d then wear a better coat.

It has a 3.5mm headphone jack, look how brave they are \o/

Then 47 will have to intentionally roll it back, and thats really not a good look. He is already operating on the slimmest majority, bad calls are not something he can afford many of. Its really a good political check (in a Chess sense) from Biden. With conservative media calling for 47 to not help, he is sorta damned if he does and damned if he dosent.

Or he will make up some new distraction like how were going to take ohio back from the yogurt or something crazy.

Thats cool, uncle joe has it covered. Link

The only other time FEMA and the federal government have done this was 9/11. Not even hurricane katrina or super-storm sandy got 100% federal relief funding (This policy was enacted in 2021 Link). The truely shameful part of this is that the GOP and 47 can not be trusted to not withhold relief funding because LA didnt vote for him. And if you think there isn’t precident for this, Nixon did the exact same thing when he closed the Boston naval yard in the 1970s. Link

Its so that 47 cant walk it back and hold the state hostage by witholding relief funds… Again.

I will be invoking Occam and Hanlon’s razors on this incident.

1). The simplist answer is usually the correct one.

2). Never attribute to malice what can accuratly be explained by stupidity and incompitence.

Based on the entities who would like the narrative to be anything other than an accident, im not inclined to believe any reports unless they can validate their findings and prove they dont have interests that align with musk or 47, until such a time I believe it was not intentional, likely a manufacturers defect (which are common for that vehicle anyway).

DRG is a fantastic place to start with moving from a controller to mouse/keyboard.

I would personally T-up some classics like portal and Half-life 2 for solo “history lessons” after that. Only then would I make some harder recomendations like long RPGs, MOBAs, 4X, and would shy away from MMOs unless you have an organized group to introduce them to.

I chuckled that the window in this meme was stained glass, instead of the highrise like it usually is.

In the Netflix show “Love, Death, and Robots” there is an episode where a lab makes a sentient hivemind microbe colony and it lives in a bowl of yogurt.

The US ends up exchanging the entirety of Ohio for a plan on how to solve most economic and societal problems. The US dosent listen to it and shit gets worse, the yogurt then builds a starfleet and fucks off.

The show itself is a bunch of sci-fi short films all done by different studios, “Zima Blue” is fantastic and my favorite is “Night of the mini-dead”.

Note for Obsidian, there is a git plugin that can auto-push/pull from a repo. I put my repo on a server and have multiple devices use it as a sync feature (there is also a VPN to my home network involved). Not sure how well it works on the android app (its pure lazyness as to why I haven’t tried that yet…)

And its not like airliners need to do a whole lot of work routing aircraft around them. Just use the old routes from when the Soviets were kicking and you should mostly be right. China has made a bit more rules since then, but I think they are really the only other major country with weird restrictive airspace.

[nsert “Oh you” meme here]

Never inturupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.

A joke:

Its the winter war and a Soviet transport convoy is slowly trudging through Finnish wilderness, and the Soviet commanding officer hears a voice from the woods.

“Hey… I bet one Finnish soldier can beat one Soviet soldier”

The commander confused at the direction the voice is coming from sends a guy into the forest to check it out (Insert the sounds of gunshots and fighting before silence returns).

The voice comes back

“Hey… I bet one Finnish soldier can beat ten Soviet soldiers”

The commander, now irritated, sends a large squad of soldiers to deal with the voice (Insert the sounds of gunshots and fighting before silence returns again).

The voice comes back a third time.

“Hey… I bet one Finnish soldier can beat one hundred Soviet soldiers!”

This time the Soviet commander is entirely done with this shit and tells every soldier in the convoy to get out of their transports and hunt down the voice. The sounds of pitch battle begin again, but after a while one of the Soviet soldiers runs back to the commander shouting “No! Its a trap! There is two of them!”.

The devs are amongst the best in the business, blame those responsible, the suits who demand unfinished products to be released. Nintendo with their older mentality of shipping phyisical media does not have the luxury to ship an unfinished product and more studios need to take a page from their book.

A rushed product is forever stained by its bad launch, a delayed product is eventually good. People have been waiting for star citizen for over a decade, we can be patient.

Are you expecting some local neceomancer to raise Ken Lay just for a practical joke? Because I was…

Hey marky mark, got a little shmutz on your nose.

Yep, it is a cryptographic tool that has lead to a comodities market that, while large enough to sustain itself for now, is mathamaticly a ponzi scheme. Someone will be left holding the bag, if you have friends invested heavily in crypto, make sure they have an off-ramp.
