Had no idea Hans im Glück was being dicks to "Meeple, Inc" by hitting them with a trademark violation. I had supported one of their previous games (Luddite) and I hate that this is happening to them. Wonder if @mrose.ink has an opinion. youtu.be/izDgyd2tDmY?...

I think it was found out later that not fact checking Trump was one of his preconditions. Should have been a non-starter for a Serious News Organization, but CNN isn't that, so whatever.

I mean, for all intents and purposes, Trump is a mobster in the way he runs his business.

Tired of all the FUD in the media about Biden. Too many bad actors out there with their own agenda, and some media outlets should know better. Fact is, people are months too late for a different result. Anything that isn't Biden running or passing it to Kamala benefits Trump.

To be honest, that's only part of the reason I won't own a Tesla. The other part are the build quality issues and design issues, but those can be Musk related as well.

The thing I can't stop thinking about is this: I'm 48, and in my adult lifetime there has been one Republican who won the popular vote. But I will probably spend the rest of my life under the authority of a Supreme Court dominated by hard right conservatives. How is that democracy?

there's nothing wrong with having feelings of despair and futility, but i think it's most responsible to avoid airing all that out in public to the greatest extent possible right now. we need to cultivate a vengeance-driven, enraged espirit de corps right now, because we need people to fight

While there are arguments against Harris, they aren't much different from any other potential candidate. Anyone making a "anyone but Harris" argument is going to have a hard time not being racist about it.

While Iiked Zero Dawn, the holes in the plot stood out a bit for me, and I didn't particularly like the way they told the plot via amusement park ride. So, merely good, which is perfectly fine for me.

I'm sure they are, but Fox News has been has been pumping up Trump to the point that debate performance doesn't matter much. The narrative has been that Biden is feeble, and Biden didn't do enough to shut that down.

Which, historically, hasn't meant all that much. (see: Al Gore) She does have the advantage of actually running a presidential campaign, but I don't see anyone who would be an obvious automatic choice. (Course, I'd say the same of the GOP, which is why Trump is back)

While I don't get the rejection of Harris as a possibility, I also don't think you are right that Harris has to be the choice. Her profile isn't any higher than other potential contenders. If things go that direction, it is uncharted territory to a certain extent.

We got tricked by science fiction into thinking a futuristic city is all about flying cars and crystal towers and hologram billboards but what it really looks like is nice apartment blocks, good mass transit, pedestrian zones with shade trees and safe bike lanes.

New rule: to comment negatively about immigrants, you have to first disclose why your own family members immigrated to the US seeking a better life, and why people facing much worse shouldn’t have the same opportunity.

Guy waited five years and paid $102k for a Cybertruck, crashed it after four hours of driving, only for Tesla to tell him that "the accelerator may not disengage under braking" and that it will take $30k and one year to repair.

Truly an L of historical proportions.
