Just a friendly reminder that white women single-handedly gave us Trump once and, but for the grace of God, almost a second time. All us whites should just sit with that for a while.

Why are you asking a bunch of white liberals on Kinja? Why don’t you reach out to whatever indigenous people live in your area and ask them how they feel about it? It would seem logical to me, as another white liberal on Kinja, that it would be up to the tribe(s) in question whether you are “one of them.”

Do people appreciate who wild it is that Trump can, with one word, completely flip any supposedly Conservative principle.

So the new journalism is people in finance with 5K followers on Twitter doing “research” on important issues like this that somehow then get taken up by the MSM as if this even counts as a story.

I love that the Right invented the entire idea of “The Squad” as some sort of massive force for Socialism when they are relatively low-ranking House members. What policy victories have they won? Have they turned the Democratic party Left? Well, we just barely elected Biden, who is filling his cabinet with Wall Street…

haha. I figured it was something simple. It’s beyond frustrating. The whole “grays” system is beyond stupid. Anyway. Thank you for letting me know it’s not just me being a total dipshit, as is my wont.

Really? I still plug in my NES and SNES. My PS2 died ages ago or I would still play it. I got a Raspberry PI for emulation as well. Some people like old games and some don’t.

But that is what I led with. I said in my original post that I had never owned an Xbox. I said probably 5 times that I owned a PS4 and decided to go with an Xbox rather than upgrade for those reasons.

WTF is wrong with people on Kinja? I’m not trying to “win” anything. You responded so I responded. This is just when I happened to have time. I don’t give a fuck about the last word. lol.

Well, I guess it’s unreasonable to YOU. Like I said, agree to disagree.

Good grief it’s hard to communicate effectively online.

Understood. I will also say that from what I’ve heard the Gamepass network is the superior network, so even if Sony did a better job making all those old games available, I might be getting the better service.

Whoah, wait a minute. I’m not bagging on the movie. I want to see it. It’s a minor quibble. And you seem just as “hyped” about it if you are correcting me, though seeing as how you weren’t alive at the time and cannot prove that anyone lost their shit over an escalator, your “correction” is moot.

Okay, man. I was being a little facetious. I’m not being dramatic at all. I apologize if that was not conveyed. Obviously, I don’t know (or care) about your financial situation. But finances are a consideration for many people.

It’s not a straw man. I’m not inventing an argument that doesn’t exist. I’m giving my actual experience. I just bought an Xbox S for the reasons I laid out. I get that this is just for me. If you don’t care about all those games, that’s great. I don’t see why you think that somehow means your approach is the better…

This is a weird thing to argue about, lol. I mean I still remember the first time I saw/rode an escalator. I grew up in a small town and we had to drive 45 minutes to the mall, the only place that had one. The motion sickness thing I get, but that is completely independent of whether a new piece of technology blows…

Of course we are closing out 2020 with a race to murder as many people as possible. I heard we’re bringing back gas chambers, too.

Yes, I’m actually regretting not going with the series X. The additional cost will probably be worth it in the long-term. That aggressive price point for the S was ultimately too good to pass up, especially given my unease with the current economic climate. I’m already going to have to upgrade my TV to even take…

See, I think that even though all that you say is true, for most people those things really aren’t game changers. The games look a bit better, they play a bit better (and let’s not forget some of this is dependent on your TV. Not everyone has 4k. I sure don’t), and while I agree the SSD move is awesome, it’s only a…

Well, sure, I can buy a PS1, a PS2, a PS3, a PS4, and a PS5 just so I can play all their games. I can hunt down the original discs (to the extent game collecting hasn’t made the price prohibitive) at pawn shops and online. I can hope the old hardware doesn’t die. I can buy all the doodads to mod the consoles so they…
