Biden needs to exercise his expanded rights as President to save America by removing agents from all branches of the government who have been working to undermine America. Congress members, Supreme Court Justices, and Presidential candidates with ties to Russia or far-right nationalists should be removed by any means necessary. We’re essentially at war with Russia and we’ve been allowing foreign agents to work against us from inside our country. Take the gloves off and remove those people, they’re trash people who will do it first if/when they get into power next. They’re pretty clearly broadcasting their plans to turn the US into a dictatorship and the SCOTUS just handed them the power to do it the next time they win an election.

So what brought this on after what seems like so long that Tories have been in power? It just seems like it’s been a string of bad PMs and bad decisions one after the other for years on end, why now?

This article is about a week old, I believe they’ve since tabled the tax bill that caused people to start protesting in the first place, for now at least. People are still out protesting though, I believe demanding that the President step down, so maybe more of this to come.

Fingers crossed

A few years ago I started purposely parking as far away as possible at work, partly because I was tired of the whole dumb process of circling around looking for a good parking space and partly I was wanting to walk more. It’s been kind of liberating. Instead of trying to sift through a sea of cars to find that empty diamond space in the rough, I’m awash in empty spaces as far as the eye can see everywhere I go. At some places, it’s almost like I’ve gotten my own dedicated parking space.

I think that’s what the internet has done for us, it’s removed that sort “social immune system” that prevented crazy ideas from spreading. Before, if somebody had some crazy ideas, the most they could usually do was rant to people on the bus/subway, maybe make some pamphlets, or some other small-scale thing to spread the idea. At best you might find someone on AM radio broadcasting at weird hours. Individuals would get exposed to it, but would likely never pass it on, this contained crazy ideas and they rarely got traction to spread.

Now the internet comes along, and suddenly crazies are getting hooked up with impressionable people easier than ever before. Crazy ideas have an almost endless supply of rubes that will eat them right up. Our social immune system can’t protect society from all the insane things flying around at high speeds all over the place now. It’s intellectual chaos.

Seems like a red herring. Is there a single Republican candidate anywhere that supports gun control?

I don’t understand what’s going on with her hand. I get what they’re trying to show, but something isn’t adding up.

In the US I’ve seen video of white teens walking out in the open carrying automatic rifles, yelling shit like, “Yeah, we’re carrying a fucking gun down the street!” At one point a cop even stops them and talks to them for a bit, then lets them go on their way. Granted, had they been black with obvious toy guns they’d be dead, but in some places openly carrying guns around is apparently a casual occurrence.

Or hell, just eliminate the opposition party. They’ll do it first and we’re just going to stand idly by and let them for the sake of “moral superiority”. They’ll do it and still see themselves as saints.

It’s kind of insane the amount of work people will do for free, just for the hell of it. I mean, just thinking of my own small world of tabletop RPG gaming and the number of people GMing and writing up stuff that they just give out for free is kind of heartwarming. It’s this weird drive to create and make storytelling worlds that other people can get lost in. I’ve worked on projects like that before and put shit tons of time and effort into them, not even considering that anybody might ever want to give me money for them (though likely it probably wouldn’t even be legal in this case without working directly with Bethesda and getting into licensing and such). Sometimes it’s just fulfilling to get lost working on a project that you love.

If these people were any smarter or had better critical thinking skills they probably wouldn’t be out protesting for pro-life causes in the first place. These are the kind of people who will believe in whatever crazy conspiracy theories get fed to them, they’ve probably been conditioned from a young age to believe crazier and crazier things. Their worldview has them believing that taking things on faith is a virtue, that the less evidence you have for something, the more believable it is. As long as it comes from somebody semi-charismatic and it makes them feel good about themselves, it’s the literal word of God.

You make the art yourself… using the blood of your enemies as your medium, the countryside is your canvas.

I’ve been to homes in foreign countries that had little more than a hole in the ground outside for a bathroom, a cow dung hut for a kitchen, and a rain water collector or a river for a water source, it doesn’t take much to get those amenities and if you really wanted you could probably make it work with this storage shed. Whether or not it’s actually up to code here in the US though is a different question entirely. I think there’s alot of municipalities that have banned tiny homes altogether or have such strict zoning laws/building requirements that this definitely wouldn’t fly as a “home” in any sense of the word.

It’d be a toss-up at that point, depending on who they put up before the election. Maybe Nikki Haley could actually win again Biden? The other non-candidates that ran during the primaries don’t seem like they’d fare well. That’d be hilarious if the party most opposed to women’s rights were to get the first female president in office. Losing Trump would be a speedbump for Conservatives though, they’re moving towards trying to take America down the road of a theocracy, I’m not sure that losing Trump would really stop that, they’re pretty much committed to making it happen at some point.

I mean, I wouldn’t mind the current President exercising this power over their political rivals, in the election, the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, purely as a defensive measure to protect America. It sets a shitty precedence, but do we really want He Who Shall Not Be Named to set the precedence first?

I just think it’d be a hilarious way to piss off Conservatives as another way to get an Obama back in the White House. And we’d have Barack there again too as First Gentleman.

I feel like there wasn’t really a single golden age for PC gaming, since each genre has had its own golden age. Doom, Duke Nukem, Unreal, and others probably comprised the first FPS Golden Age, but that was happening separately from other Golden Ages that were happening. You also had RTS games, Strategy games, and a bunch of other PC genres.

As far as when that first FPS golden age ended? I’d almost say that 1997’s Goldeneye 007 for the N64 marked the “end” of the PC FPS golden age, since that’s when console gaming got its first big exclusive FPS hit. EVERYBODY I knew was playing that game when it came out and you just couldn’t play it on the PC at that time, it marked a shift from PC to console gaming. Some genres would never make the jump successfully, like RTS games, but FPS games and Adventure games seemed to work well and that’s where all the cool new games went to. Obviously consoles had had hits before this, but that seemed like the first time they got something above and beyond just Mario or Sonic-style platformers.

Calling it a “tiny home” is a bit of a stretch. Wal-mart itself calls it a “storage shed” (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Best-Barns-Arlington-12x20-Wood-Storage-Shed-Kit/1567768995). So I guess if you really wanted to, you could call it a “tiny home”, but by that standard we could just call a cardboard box a tiny home as well. BOOM! Instantly solved the homeless crisis.

Almost thought that said “Fap Nation” for a second there
