Yes, but there was unlikely to be 100% turnout of horrible people. Some good people voted for Trump, in what we see as misguided but tolerant of racism. However many more racist people stayed home and didn’t vote and many more didn’t care about racism enough to vote.

Trump in the USA and people’s response to covid (worldwide) really highlighted selfishness of humanity to me. I’m a less hopeful person because of it but that doesn’t mean I won’t fight for what’s right.

Voter’s have failed us. The Dems have failed us. The justice system has failed us.

Trump has highlighted the fragility of the system. The Dems have had multiple years to fix some of it. They did none. Then they ran a mediocre candidate in the same vein as Hilary, who failed against Trump before.

Voter’s need to realise that if they disagree with the Dems, voting for the GOP is not necessarily a better option. Voting third party is worse than voting someone you disagree with.

The Dems need to realise that they won’t get Republican voters to vote for them. They should try to excite and plan for the voters based on good policy. Trying to play both sides gets you neither side. Be progressive or leave the Dems and be a Republican. There is no moderates in either side when one side is not negotiating in good faith.

Let the voters choose between two alternative visions. Not one vision, or the same vision with a racist demagogue at the front.

It’s scary times ahead. However, it’s been scary times for years now, so we are all used to it. Maybe that’s the problem. We all want change. Trump promises it. He’s just promising disruptive change without a coherent plan. Where is the Dems coherent plan for change?

If only journalism was this blunt at an earlier point than after he won, again.

I don’t play a lot of open world games. But, sf6 takes an age to load before you even try to match. I expected almost instant, similar to a cartridge console.

Yep, no difference from PS4 for any game. This fast loading they talk about, minimal.

You mean in military aid or are you trying to muddy the waters? Humanitarian aid is the opposite of military aid. Without the military aid to Israel, it may be they don’t need as much in Palestine.

Similar for Facebook, Microsoft etc. It will be interesting to see how long before they start to lose market dominance, or how anti trust laws work worldwide.

Where Mr robot is an unreliable narrator that questions himself, devs has a paranoia that someone else is controlling the narrative to purposefully make you question,

Making an effort and hanging a bad made costume is better than a bought costume. It should be about creativity, not money.

I’d still give candy to kids. Not teens. I’d give extra candy to kids that made an effort in whatever way.

Wasn’t Ukraine having similar discussions and elections about 15 years ago…

Hard to make the call as to whether now is a good time to move closer to the EU from a risk of invasion perspective, when they are currently already in a war with Ukraine and busy, or if the ramped up war machine makes it even riskier.

Most other countries have their post Covid inflation mostly under control, if not in their preferred band, they are considering rate cuts. Obviously war is not conducive to that. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the cost of war became a problem that hindered it, which was the point of institutions like the eu in the first place.

That and the fort trial. Or where Jen breaks the internet.

I usually just wet my pants to avoid touching my own penis so I don’t get perceived as gay. Shit, I just used the word perceived. Gay af.

The meme is saying that Israelis rights to the land dont override the rights of other peoples, like the Palestinians. Its pointing out that many who think Israel are doing nonwrong would not be infavour of native Americans bombing their cities, or even giving up their land.

As a foreign born person, now living in Australia with Australian citizenship, Australia has undoubted racism, including casual racism, institutional racism and blatant bigotry. However, viokent hate crimes are much more rare. Australians are generally welcoming, even to those they hold outdated racist views against. Its not people in masks lighting crosses on lawns. Its people being friendly with foreigners at work but never making friends with them, despite doing the same with white coworkers. Its having neoghbours whobyou are friendly with and borrow tools from each other but still roll your eyes as they dont eat bacon, son you couldn’t possibly invite them over for a barbecue as your potato salad has bacon bits on top. Its denying original Australians a voice in the Parliament.

However, China has a much bigger problem with racism where there is purposeful genocide. However, China’s criticism rings true, because it is.

Australia can and will do better as most peopke dont want to be racist. There is a fringe far right element, like most western countries but its not the norm. I thibknchina will also do better as their exposure to other cultures and peoples increases.

I have a ps5. I dont think I’ll ever buy another console thats not a PC. I want to keep my library. I want a choice of places to buy games. I want no subscription for basic services. Consoles solved a problem that running high end games with specialized hardware was cheaper. Now its not, so they dont make financial sense.

I would assume my next games machine will be a steam deck type device that works like a switch for big screen, or that just streams over WiFi to my TV.

Saying she respects his right to have an opinion, as this s seems to be, is far from accusing Israel if genocide. JPost calling it blood libel is inflammatory and an attempt to silence all valid calls of genocide.

I’m not nornalisong genocide. I also recognize that there are two bad options and she is the least bad option.

Actively seeking to undermine her without an alternative is advocating for more genocide, not less.
