  • Which is a prime example of how bias the media is towards Republicans generally, and Trump specifically.

    Democrats do something, and its constant harsh coverage.

    Trump literally being a mentally unstable, unhinged mad man and gets the most soft touch coverage that excuses/ignores 99% of his behavior… When they can be bothered to report on it at all.

    That debate coverage still pisses me off. Biden had just come back from a whirlwind international tour and was jetlagged and sick, attending a debate at like 10pm at night… and media managed to induce some kind of mass hallucination that biden was a decrepit old man who had no command of his faculties like some kind of dementia patient walking around with pants full of shit.



  • You have to blame media for its part in it.

    Social media played a heavy hand in artificially inflating trump with its complete and blatant refusal step in and curtail any of the deluge of manufactured bullshit, fake AI controlled accounts, troll farm posts, blatant misinformation, etc, etc, etc.

    broadcast media as well, for being so thirsty for ratings and another trump presidency they basically sanewashed every thing he did, when they could bother reporting on it at all, because they knew if he got elected it’d be 4 more years of people desperately turning in every day to see what fresh horrors trump was unleashing, which would drive ratings and revenues to the stratosphere.







  • there’s still a lot of titles that require tweaking/hacking. And some just refuse to run, period.

    run into that shit on windows, too. and theres not compatability layers to blame, there.

    Even titles that are marked as Gold on ProtonDB sometimes crash or refuse to run randomly.

    and shit doesnt crash on windows? All protons in the world arent going to fix a games inherent bugs that make it crash.




  • Steam, as a program, has fundamentally gotten worse with every update ever since they switched to electron/chromium

    remember for a while they tried to take small mode away from us.

    cause they are going down the same route that everything goes. Its gotten popular, so now they are trying to turn it into a social media platform.

    I dont want a social media playform. theres already enough of those. I just want a small, slick, low resource, easy to use, quick to load program to buy my games and launch them.








  • It wasnt a half measure.

    Its just, when you roll out a revolutionary change in the way things are done, like the ACA was, there are going to be issues that pop up after rollout that no one could predict.

    Which is why you need follow up legislation to address those unpredictable holes/cracks/issues.

    and unfortunately the only way thats gonna happen is with a supermajority of democrats who have the cajones to just ram the shit through without playing games and without trying to get the republicans involved, because the republicans will stop at nothing to prevent anything they see as a “win” for democrats, no matter how much misery and suffering it causes the American people. They’ll watch their own mothers suffocate to death from preventable disease rather than let the dems have a “win”.

    and to top off the absolute miserable bastardry, they’ll then run campaign ads for the next 12 months talking about how democrats are mother-smotherers
