  • After installing bazzite, the experience was near identical to running windows if all I ever did was play games from my steam library. If anything it was a little better, fallout 4 in particular perfoms much better.

    The problems creep in if it’s not a dedicated gaming system, or if you want to do atypical things like install mod managers. Easy enough with a walkthrough but I can see where that would scare off the non technically inclined. However judging from your description of your friend it doesn’t sound like he was doing any of that anyway.







  • YOU are the one who has dismissed FDRs ENTIRE legacy because of one mistake,

    That “one mistake” being throwing 100,000 Americans into concentration camps. That’s at least 100,000 mistakes.

    you are advocating for not interning the Japanese-Americans, in exchange for surrendering all of FDRs labor reforms.

    I am not advocating for time travel. I am advocating removing a really bad person’s portrait from the dime. You do know that removing him from the dime wouldn’t automatically invalidate every law he passed, right?

    MOST Americans would not make that trade, including most Japanese-Americans.

    So what would you trade in Trump’s case? You’re clearly willing to negotiate on atrocities, what would he have to bribe you in order for you to ignore his?




  • This mentality is why MAGA controls our nation.

    Interesting you bring up MAGA. They’re currently building concentration camps. Are you going to hand wave that too? Apparently the dow is over 50,000. Hypothetically, how high would the Dow have to go before you’d forgive trump for building concentration camps? When does it go from “horrific human rights abuses” to “he was a complicated man”? How expensive is it to buy your respect?

    several paragraphs of apologism and whataboutism

    Having your face on currency is apparently a great honor in this country. I’m not suggesting we end social security or the interstate highway program. But get his smug fascist ass face off the dime. Good countries don’t honor men who throw people in concentration camps.


  • Apparently the difference between you and I is that I don’t believe there’s room for a “yeah, but…”. I don’t believe in weighing the good and the bad when it comes to evil people.

    I don’t care if he passed social security. I don’t care if he sold Stalin and Churchill the weapons they needed to win WW2. I don’t care if he cured cancer, cholera, and the common cold. Just like I don’t care that Hitler built the Autobahn. He’s still fucking Hitler.

    FDR illegally seized the property of 100,000 Americans and threw them in concentration camps based solely on their race. End of legacy. Fuck FDR and get his fascist ass face off my dime.


  • I didn’t say that, and I don’t believe that, so don’t put words in my mouth.

    Ok, but

    he did a LOT of things right for America and the World, and on balance his good FAR outweighed the bad.

    The very next paragraph, and the rest of the post, is essentially “I said that, and I believe that”.

    Pointing out that he also did things you like is justifying the atrocities he committed. If a man throws people into concentration camps that’s the only thing we should ever talk about when his name comes up. There’s no coming back from that. Your attitude is giving me “Mussolini made the trains run on time” vibes.
