They’re leaving a more divided place where the middle of both parties has been eroded and each year, big bipartisan legislation seems a more elusive goal.

Calling bull-fucking-shit on this, "both parties," line. We just saw Schumer roll over and play dead for the worst budget deal in Senate history. 4 years ago, the Democrats let all of the most progressive portions of the BBB get hollowed out by 2 centrist Democrats. The Democratic, "middle," hasn't eroded, they're calling all the shots.

Most of the in-costume stuff is, and the Black Ranger doesn't break dance in that. But there's usually an out of costume fight with Putties before that.

I think it was probably an even bigger mistake to have the Black Ranger fight with break dancing Kung-Fu moves, but what do I know.

Yes! And there's no, "Thumbs Down," or, "Not Interested," option, eo you can't make him go away! Every fucking time I watch Last Week Tonight I have to see this smug dipshit's stupid face.

I also voted for Kamala and I also haven't been called a tankie (at least yet). But I've seen multiple liberals on .world call leftists tankies, often without understanding the meaning. At first, I found it very strange, since I'd only ever seen that term used in leftist circles. It made more sense when I realized they picked it up from .ml, which, to be fair, had a lot of fucking tankies.

.world definitely has a problem distinguishing between Tankies and leftists. I've literally had a guy argue with me that tankie and Bernie Bro were interchangeable because, "definitions change."

Why would I buy a device that I don't really own, i.e. the manufacturer can pull the rug from under it at any time and render it completely useless?

Yeah, this is why I'm so fucking pissed about the lack of non-digital games. I understand that games have tons of updates, and that the idea of a physical game has been declining for years, but there was at least still a physical, 1.0 version of a Nintendo game I could buy and play on my Switch. If Nintendo no longer sells that product, they no longer have a product I want.

It's not my place to tell you how to feel about Obama. He was certainly competent and effective in many ways, and if you feel that makes him, "good," fine. However, he used drones to assassinate American citizens, he created an opaque drone warfare program that Congress has no oversight over, and he prosecuted more people under the Espionage Act than all other presidents combined, none of whom were actual spies.

Whether you believe he was justified in these actions or not, they have downstream consequences, all of which benefit Trump. When Obama criticizes Trunp for attacking journalists, it is more than fair to point out that hypocrisy. We have an authoritarian president right now, and if we're ever going to take back power from him, we've got to acknowledge how we got here and take corrective action.

Nothing happens overnight, and it's not being edgy to point out how we got here. Bush got us accustomed to an unending wat on, "terrorism," Obama used drones to target terrorists in any nation without national approval, and now Trump will deport protesters for aiding terrorism and bomb Yemen over signal.

Bush attacked the Press for, "giving aid and comfort," to our enemies, Obama prosecuted leakers and publishers under the Espionage Act, and now Trump will openly bully publications he doesn't like with frivolous lawsuits and threats of prosecution. History didn't start in January.

Wait, was Jobs a Nazi too?

I actually like Nintendo's devices, though. Sony and Microsoft produce basically the same product every generation, but Nintendo usually tries something different. But $80 games with no physical option is fucking disgusting. I'm pretty sure they've decided that physical media is a threat to their abusive IP practices, and their going to finally destroy game preservation once and for all. This is the final straw for me; I'll just pirate anything I want going forward.
