Oscars and Grammys are so behind the times, just advertisers of the pop sectors of their respective industries.

Sooooo, are Nolan and Villeneuve the only two directors left in Hollywood? Because I'm getting that impression with the quality of output in the last several years.

Vote for fascism and you get fascism.

The entirety of the internet is unusable without ad blockers.

Team 17? Haven't heard that name in a while.

When the fuck has economic disincentive ever been a priority for civil courts? Large corporations do billions of dollars of damage on a regular basis, and get fined for millions.

Let's not spread false hope. Comparing this event to Bush or Reagan is disingenuous.

The rule of law is over. This is the backslide into fascism. The GOP is going to have a field day overturning all of the things we take for granted, including the progress we fought hard to make in the 2000s and 1990s.

What the fuck am I reading?

This whole headline stinks of trickle-down economics.

*cough* Dr. Who *cough*

I played Dark Souls for 80 hours before I thought it was crap. Shit graphics (on the Xbox 360), shit difficulty, no story, thought the game was just one big trollface, tempting you with ideas that might pan out, but don't. I kept playing because everybody else thought it was the best game ever, and convinced myself that it was like other RPGs, where if you grinded enough to get the right gear, you could tame the difficulty. It didn't. Difficulty for older areas was better, but new area difficulty was still shit.

All patents need to be killed. They only benefit the rich and powerful.

It's not that they don't want to institute these things. It's the fact that every Republican win shifts the Overton window, and makes them believe that they need to move more to the center.

"If the GOP are winning elections, then maybe this is what the American people want."

Also, none of us are the typical voter. Nobody on this forum, nobody popular on Twitter, nobody with a YouTube channel. None of us are the average mindless American that doesn't give a shit about politics, doomscrolling 4 hours a day, falling for whatever propaganda lands on their eyes, and are only voting because it's a team sport they get to play every four years.

From now on, I’m voting for someone that can offer real change.

So, Trump or whoever the GOP offers?

Unless that resistance includes armed insurrection, it's not going to do a damn bit of good. Full control over all three branches of federal government, and they'll make sure they implement their policies as quickly as possible.

I mean, that all depends on what the MPL allows.

And you think that matters when there isn't even going to be a fucking center-right any more?

The engineers that work there certainly aren’t going to stage a coup.

What engineers? Musk fired all of them when he first started.

No, I chose to teach them a lesson.

The only lesson you taught them is that the general public wants more right-wing ideas. What you've done is teach trans, blacks, and other minorities a lesson, the lesson that they should be beaten and driven out of their country. You've taught that women should be submissive, treated like property, like they are in Saudi Arabia.

Good job. I hope you reflect on your "lesson" in the next four years, as your right to vote is systematical dismantled.

Not any more there isn't. And soon, in the next few years, we'll see a systematic elimination of any remaining opposition, by means of oppression, suppression, and even more violent means.
