I have to say when I watched the debate whilst Kamala herself impressed me, nothing she said felt very inspirational. I thought it was pretty clear what big picture items the base wanted and all she could come up with was a payment to new families and help for small business. This is good and all, but not the larger national and foreign policy announcements people wanted.
Perhaps not “take him out”, but I do hope Biden finally grows a pair and goes scorched earth on Trump by generally using the supreme court ruling to make life as difficult as possible for him, for example releasing all the Epstein files. I’m so sick of the Democrats continuing to think they can use reason and the moral highground while fighting a opponent who punches below the belt. Get down and fight dirty for once!
Boy are you in for a shock when you hear about Project 2025. This stuff is straight out of their playbook, with more to come.
You dumb, dumb motherfuckers.

AI being pumped into everything. It drives me absolutely nuts that every fucking thing has to have AI. Now you can buy a laptop that uses AI to write an email, just so the receiver can use AI to summarise it. We’re going to start using computers to develop enormous amounts of crap before we finally realise that putting the effort into writing, reading, drawing, designing etc. is actually worthwhile. Don’t get me wrong, I see several use cases for AI where it’s very good, and studied genetic algorithms at uni (i.e. software that can rewrite itself given feedback on its output), but what is being pushed on us now will just encourage laziness and ultimately be a detriment to humans in general.

I get so tired of these headlines that are basically “Authority figure says obvious thing”. Like, yeah, and so do most other people, thanks for the update.
I feel that divergence is what made DS9 so good. Instead of travelling around exploring aliens, we’re stationary exploring ourselves and our politics. It was a great idea to make a show about a completely different aspect of Starfleet life. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the last great idea they had.
War always favours the incumbent at election time, so the cynic in me thinks the US is dragging its feet quite purposely.
Y’all need to walk more! 20 min is only about 2 km, or 1.4 miles in funny units. That’s not far man.
When I was younger I binged a lot of Alistair MacLean. To continue the list with some of my other favourites:
The Satan Bug
The Golden Rendezvous
The Dark Crusader
The Last Frontier
Ice Station Zebra
Fair warning though: he’s quite formulaic and it is not recommended to finish one of his books then start another. Read a couple of books inbetween to give yourself a break.
And this is how I, a foreigner, know the sun has risen over the US.
Not sure on the reason for the downvotes here. My understanding is they marketed it very poorly and they brought a hero shooter to a saturated market without adding anything new
Because once again, Trump just gets away with it. This is fucking bullshit.
And if Battlefield were still worth playing I’d give a shit. It has been well over 12 years since I got excited about a Battlefield game.
Are any flights involved? I feel some flights should be involved in this setup…
Rich guys and private islands… I’m sure nothing bad has ever come of that.
You’re right. The sentiment more comes from the power the USA weilds globally vs the massive responsibility the population don’t seem to realise they have. If anything, the dumb motherfuckers will be the countries that keep allowing the USA to have this power while clearly the population - and by extension the new president - don’t take this responsibility seriously.
I’m lucky. I don’t live in Palestine or Ukraine, both of which are all but guaranteed to be fed to the wolves. It’s heartbreaking to watch the complacency of a population who think the price of eggs is worth more than thousands of people’s lives. But here we are… and we’re angry.
