I mean it’s so obvious… is anyone else unaware that raising the goal for quantity is how you lower quality. Organized criminals are… well organized and hard to find. Finding one big cartel leader is considerably harder than scooping up 100 people showing up for their scheduled appointment with immigration court.
I mean does he have a chance, if I’m not mistaken didn’t he win against a pedophile by the skin of his teeth. and now at this rate I’m wondering if pedophilia is less unpopular than it was back then.
Only problem is when dealing with things like, what happens when a cop demands to bury all videos of his police brutality scandal etc… Bottom line 90% of time when the pressure hits enough, the words don’t do it justice. Especially when the cops release the report using past exonorative tense etc… to describe things in way that downplay and obfuscate what happened.

I’m not doubting the problems of any government. however to make the case that it’s not grounded on the fear of communism… It’s not like that’s exactly uncommon in countries we are continuing to do business like NBD, Isreal, Russia, Saudi Arabia to name a few off the top of my head.
Again not disagreeing with the general concept that communist countries aren’t exempt from committing atrocities. Difference is a capitalist country does them “it’s a growing pain”, or “they are starting out, once they get big enough they’ll fix it, just like the US did”.
did the original have a wedding ring… honestly the hands aren’t what are burned into my memory.
Also in news, the 37 felony convictions might be because trump comitted some crimes. Does he think he’s brilliant and the rest of the country is idiots? You aren’t dealing with a criminal mastermind, your dealing with a batman villain. The issue isn’t that he’s so clever nobody can see his clever manuvering, it’s that everyone in a position to do something about it, is corrupt as fuck.
It’s the point though, not even completely undefended, still not 10% of the same level of defense as the primary points of capitalism. IE just note how much force, propoganda etc… is pushed at any country that isn’t capitalist enough. Right now fishing boats are being bombed. or even non military force, like the trade embargo’s on cuba etc…
and heaven knows how many government sponsered coups etc… Point is a lot of resources go into doing everything possible to make things that aren’t capitalist enough have a very steep uphill climb.
While they certainly implode… I think there’s the old problem.
Like say you have 5 co-operative communities that focus on building up great resources, polite trade with eachother, no focus on millitary.
Then you throw in 2 Viking type communities, extremely warlike, that have no independent ability to gather resources… but specifically focus on pillaging.
Obviously the vikings take out the poorly defended villages to build up resources, before going after eachother, in the long run everyone dies out because the vikings wreck everything for everyone, and leave nothing for themselves.
I feel like that’s kind of a form of what happens with capitalism vs socialism types. we’ve got elements that really just want peace… but the warlike ones will just continue to survive, as long as there are enough peaceful societies to wreck… and unfortunately the peaceful ones are the ones to go down first, in spite of being the only ones that would survive long term without the others existance.
We should give a fuck about reddit, twitter, facebook etc… as controlling mechanisms that are poisoning the overwhelming majority of the population. Keeping an eye on their impact to society kind of matters.

But then what leverage would horrible jobs have to prevent you from quitting if you weren’t worried of starving? and where is the money to start more wars and fund failing nations like argentina going to come from if we spend all our taxes helping the american people
I do 100% agree that the concept of having hugely varied terms for pedophile, and say the term Minor attracted person, and get really sick of hearing people lash out on when the term MAP is used to say “You just want to protect pedophiles”.
No I want people who have the urge to abuse children, to get treatement and never act on it and live peaceful happy lives where they never harm an innocent person, and to me that is far better of an outcome than a child being abused, but supposedly it gets made up for by the abuser getting tortured in prison.
Umm… what the heck are these choice of examples. Mainly we are talking gaming VR devices. we can basically scrap the “metaverse”, apple, microsoft, google glass off the list.
Virtualboy? we’re talking an attempt to make VR in the days before anything close to a viable technology even existed.
Realistically the products I’d say are actually, modern VR gaming are more or less oculus, valve index, and maybe the playstation VR thing?
Really though, not a huge shocker that sales are declining, as a gaming niche, I don’t see them as the kind of thing people are likely to upgrade on the regular. Least not unless/until someone majorly blows away the weight/bulk of them. Say take me, I’m probably a typical user, I bought a quest 2, about 3 years ago… happy with it.
am I buying a quest 3, nope, bought my son an index as a big christmas gift 2 years ago… is he going to upgrade his, probably not.
I mean, VR has happened, and been happening for like a decade… is what’s not happening that it hasn’t replaecd every system and been the only or even primary method of gaming… no. Is it mark zuckerbergs “metaverse” where we start working from home, by wanting to go into a VR virtual workspace or hold our productivity meetings in VR… no obviously not.
Is it a viable option of gaming, along with mobile phone games, PC games, Console games, and portable console games, yes it has a place there right now.
It’s so fricking infuriating because, literally we were actually seeing the cracks form. Trump admin is violating the hatch act, pushing “dem’s have shut down the government”, and yet poll after poll shows the american people put the blame on the republicans. Trump was constantly boo’d to his face at the commanders game… and the democrats had an amazing election where they won every contest they were in. I can’t fathom a worse time to fold
I don’t think it even requires the police, in most US states, the law basically says that assuming the gated community has a “unauthorized vehicles will be towed at owners expense” sign somewhere, then the owners of the gated community don’t need police approval, they can call a towing company directly and have the cars removed, only needing to inform the police afterwards.
In recent days, aides have presented Trump with three scenarios for the overall outcome of the redistricting fight, none of which include Republicans losing seats when all the maps are finalized
So, sounds to me like… trumps yes men are only bringing him scenerios where he wins. They don’t want to be like the girl who brought him unfavorable jobs numbers.
As a result basically they might slice numbers up so that in attempting to dillute democratic districts out of existance, they may instead turn all the districts competitive, and if everything swings like this last election he might lose more than he gains.
Admitted though, could go in favor for him as obviously this weeks election had one huge key detail going in it’s favor, the democrats gave the illusion they were actually fighting and standing up to trump. Which as usual they managed to completely screw it up… right after getting overwhelming evidence that “yes this is what we want!”.
That’s the double whammy to me. It’s bad enough that we lost and got nothing for it, but we paid a huge price.
The political consiquences of this are unknown. Could mandami be a snake, absolutely, is it possible that behind closed doors he said to trump “I don’t actually believe anything I said, go ahead and send ice in and do whatever you want”… can’t rule it out, wouldn’t be the first time we’ve been screwed (cough fetterman).
But at the same time… it’s also possible they just said a bunch of platitudes. He just stuck up some charm, redirected his ideas in a way that trump thought they were his own.
Point is trump is going to have impact, and getting trump to moderately like you, is a good thing and will make enacting your goals easier, even when your goals are directly going to go head to head against trump. Mandami has a lot of goals, and he cannot get them all passed unilaterally. When he actually changes his rhetoric, or doesn’t push for any of the things he said he would, that’s when we call him out. Talking with other leaders, is kind of what politicians are supposed to do.
