Well, if it allows future Creation-Engine games to have internet/lan co-op capabilities (that don’t suck), all their effort won’t be for nothing at least. Unfortunately, my suspicion is that it will not, and all the effort wrangling multiplayer into the creation engine will have been largely for nothing.

Sleazy, wealthy people do sleazy-wealthy-people things, making other sleazy, wealthy people angry that they didn’t get to do their sleazy-wealthy-people things, too/instead.

Uvalde had armed ‘response’ personnel *ON SITE*. Tell me again how much help they were at stopping a mass shooting. Right. None. As opposed to tasing, attacking, abusing, and other acts of violence and oppression against not-white children, as well as fostering a hostile environment that is antithetical to education.…

NRA and logic don’t really belong together. :P

It’s another interesting disparity in response regarding shooters who are taken in alive versus those killed on the scene.

Say it loud and never forget — the *ONLY* instance of objectively real and significant vote fraud was done by USPS president Louis DeJoy, on behalf and at the behest of former president Donald Trump, to make mail-in votes disappear — votes that both individuals knew would overwhelmingly be from and for democrats.

The thing is, at least from my understanding of the memo, he was referring to management doing the WFH thing. And he was accidentally correct, after a fashion. Management is generally useless, no matter where they work or how many hours they put in, and this is especially true of upper management. The whole ‘work from…

Decisions, decisions...

And yet, they and their supporters will also howl, without the hesitation, about how ‘life is sacred’ and ‘abortions are murder.’

Yes, but to what *end*? The ultimate goal of all of this is votes. And how will a debate change any of that? You’ve got three camps of people: the ones who absolutely won’t vote for Warnock, no matter what, the people who don’t care that Walker is a buffoon and will still vote for him, and everyone else who are…

I’ not sure I see the point in a debate. Walker is so far out of his element, he might as well be in another universe. Which is where the people who will vote for him are coming from, too. They will see and hear what they want to see and hear to reaffirm their preexisting bias against ‘the other’ who they’ve been…

I miss that game often. All the characters were all wonderfully well done, diverse, and fun to play.

Well, it’s a good thing that so few mass shootings happen in the US. It’s not like they’re a near-daily occurrence or anything. [/s]

God I hope she manages to pin him in a corner and force him to admit, under oath, publicly and on record, that he rightly and fairly lost the 2020 election. But I also hope he tries to lie about it again and perjures himself...

Hello? Masks and vaccines were too burdensome to many of these same people. They were willing to let over a millions Americans die just to maintain the illusion that is America’s house-of-cards economy.

“These decisions are not made by an uncaring machine.”

Counterpoint: many longstanding observations and studies of human behavior disagree with your assertion. See the Stanford Prison Experiment for a quick example just how quickly and easily the average person devolves into a brutal, uncaring sadist. Spoiler: it’s fast and requires no incentives.

Every single politician who stands in the way of firearm legislation is in gross dereliction of the duty they swore an oath to perform: to serve the public. One could even say they *perjured* themselves in doing so, because they clearly and knowingly lied about their intention to serve the public. Because the public…

And Republican-stonewall Senators all looked at each other and laughed. “Ha. Racial Justice? Not on our watch.”

It is interesting how there’s such a strong correlation between being awful places to live — unless you’re wealthy — and the amount of control Republicans have over the local and/or state government. Why, it’s almost as if the two are related, dare I say, even connected?
