Hey wow, look what happens when we don't buy their games and loudly organize to tell others not to buy their games over this bullshit!

There's still nothing Sony puts out that I really think is all that good, but hopefully this serves as another message to the industry to stop with this dumb bullshit. Funny how Sony has been getting a lot of those kinda messages recently.

I'd actually argue people didn't know what Harris was selling. There was a very well written and well thought out policy platform written up on their campaign's website, but none of that reached all the Americans who refuse to read anything. The campaign trail was very focused on how Donald Trump was a threat to democracy, but they refused to really draw attention to the Nazi iconography and truly terrifying promises Trump was making. In fact, an awful lot of the campaign trail was backing Israel, promising a more secure boarder, lying about how great the economy was, and promising to reach across the isle to work with the mythical "good Republican."

And, to give the average American the benefit of the doubt, I don't think many of them knew the potential dangers of a Trump re-election. I think a lot of people saw the weakly worded Democrat warnings as typical political mud-slinging. Both sides were calling each other the devil incarnate, and both sides refused to back up their claims, so it's hard to be surprised that Americans just saw it as noise. I think most of them are just scared they won't make it through the year, like my friends and I are, and got suckered in by the orange man telling them that everything sucks and he'll make it better.

Real talk? This shit is out of reach for most Americans. The best you can do is make sure you maintain a low amount of debt. It's better to live paycheck to paycheck if it means reducing any outstanding liabilities. If you've got a decent enough credit score, banks'll have no problem bailing you out of trouble with a quick loan or a credit card or a payment plan. The problem really comes if you're already heavily making use of debt, and then something goes wrong.

It's been "a few more years" every election of my life. Nobody was ever going to take collective action to actually change the Democrat party, and the Republicans have been working for this endgame the whole time. The last two decades have been a slow motion car-crash.

It also assumes the outcome of our election was ever going to be fair, as if the captured Supreme Court wouldn't have intervened in a close election to give Trump the presidency anyway. Harris needed a landslide victory to have a chance to avoid the election getting stolen, and by August it was clear she could not get one.

If you're in Chicago at the moment, I think you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't have an Italian Beef sandwich and a hot dog Chicago-style as well.

What approval ratings are you looking at, last I checked he'd managed to go lower than Biden.

Hell, you don't even need to get that conspiratorial.

There are two possible options. The Democrats are either corrupt, or stupid. Both are a disqualifier for giving them power.

So this is the absolute batshit insane part of the Kamala/Harris campaign. If you looked through their published policy platform, yes they had plans to try and regulate corporate price gouging. However, they did not campaign on these plans, did not elaborate on those plans whenever the economy was brought up, and largely tried to deflect when asked about their plans by claiming the American economy is strong and had no issues.

Kamala had plans. Somebody told her to keep her mouth shut, probably because it would scare off the donors they were trying to court.

I really like eggs, but I walk to my grocery store and back, and often bump the fuck outta whatever I buy. After the first accident, I've not bought eggs in a real long while.

I don't think any women want to form a deep connection with any AI techbros.
