Nah, all of it will be followed through. He’ll be a dictator and just do it. Only reason he didn’t full do all the other stuff he whined about last time was some checks and balances he had to fight against to do them.

Case in point, read this shit… https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/11/trump-2024-campaign-lewandowski-conway/680456/

Lol yah, its clear they all want to be dictators, ya know who says, “I was promised total control?” Dictators.

I was just leaning into the ‘weird’ framing, since they seem to fucking hate it.

Even the normal stuff they say isn’t normal. No CEO comes into a company and is like “hey, I heard I was promised to have total control of this company!” They say “I’m hoping to be effective leader and hope together we can, blah, blah, blah”

No sane person comes into a position like that and says the quiet part out loud “day 1, I was promised total control of public health agencies!”

Very weird indeed.

The classic ‘I don’t care how horrible this person or view is’ until it affects them ‘on noooo, I realized he’s terrible! Now I get to seem like an enlightened white Knight, warning others of obvious flaws I decided not to see!’

I bet if the joke was about Mexicans they wouldn’t have cared, because it’s not them.

Also to pull out their phrase from 20 years ago: “Support the Troops!”

Remember the “support the troops”? And then the same party turned around and denied healthcare to the 9/11 responders, years later after everyone had forgotten…

Everyone thinks they’ll be in the ‘in group’ with a dictator. The only ‘in group’ is the dictator themselves. As you said, over time the ‘in group’ gets smaller and smaller. Really frustrating how people still champion this shit on thinking they’ll be in the special group too!

So… The scenario is about your parents. Does that make it any more clear to you?

So… The scenario is about your parents, make it any more clear to you?

So… Let’s say your parents are murdered tomorrow. And the investigators and the news reports just say that they died suddenly on Monday, you know full well that they were actually murdered, they just ignored using the term ‘murdered’, you’d be totally okay with that?

Those 2 phrasings have the exact same meaning to you?

Knew that was coming, at some point… I wonder if anyone grabbed copies of the git repos.

Thanks! Will continue watching.

Wait, what episode? I started watching Orville but got distracted and didn’t finish past season 1 I think.

Yeaaah, don’t use open office, it hasn’t had any code updates in like 15 years. Use and suggest libre office instead.

Don’t forget sending that judge along with him.

Or fixing their fucking power grid. Sure hope the voters think about the use of that 220 some million dollars when the power goes out again this winter and they can’t heat their house, again.

Wow… While the action is ethically crappy, I never would have thought that to be an arrestable offense. Using the actresses to generate new nudes and porn scenes? Sure, but to literally cut out the nude scenes from real movies? Kind of crazy to get arrested for that without some sort of warning or cease and desist letter first.

Yah, been playing it on my steamdeck, I forgot how hard the first diablo was, haven’t played it since in was a kid. I got a warrior all the way to diablo, but couldn’t kill him, character wasn’t powerful enough. So i started a new game with my character and thought I’d train in nightmare, and come back to kill diablo in normal later. But then I read the game ends in each difficulty when you kill diablo and what ever loot you get, you can’t pick up before the ending dialogue screens, and diablo isn’t treated as much of a special character in regards to loot so… I never went back to kill diablo, because what’s the point?

Now I got all the way to level 13 in nightmare and stalled again because my character can’t survive the balrogs, and isn’t powerful enough. Usually when you got stuck in the original game, you could dupe gold or stat increasing potions or something to get your character past their slump, but they fixed the dupe bug in the devilutionx code. Now there’s nothing really to help you out when stuck. Crazy thing is sometimes you have to restart because you’ve run out of gold for healing potions after trying and failing to clear a level.

I might be putting the game down for a bit. It was incredibly fun while I played though.
