SvennoJ said: I noticed WorldInfoMeter has added tabs for different regions. Turkey is part of Asia according to them, yet according to Germany it's part of Europe. I'll keep following the Berliner Morgenpost for the European numbers, and keep USA the way it is. However together with Canada, Mexico, Panama, Dominican Republic et al, North America just passed the half million reported...

Official 2020 US Election: Democratic Party Discussion

in Politics Discussion 18 minutes ago

Moren said: SpokenTruth said: And yet....you're pushing for the centrist candidate. Yep. That's me. I'd vote for a combination of Dick Cheney, Ronald Reagan, Mitch McConnell, and Newt Gingrich if I could. Then again, that's basically what Biden is. :-) The hostility from these Biden-bros is really convincing people to vote for him. ...

Moren said: Whatever. Don't ever pretend to care about social, economic or voting issues ever again, and don't pretend to care about the same issues Bernie does. Nope. Don't you dare to try to spin things, by stating that voting for a candidate that doesn't care about social, economic or voting issues is somehow caring for these issues. It is not. I don't care if you say that...

Shadow1980 said: My concern is all the complaining from the usual suspects about Bernie getting "screwed" again and not wanting to vote for Biden. In 2000, a moderate Democrat won the nomination over a more progressive candidate. Enough progressive voters sat at home or voted third-party to throw the election to Bush. The exact same things happened again in 2016, leading to Trump winning....

Moren said: Mnementh said: You're delighted, that the policies that if implemented earlier actually would've helped in the current epidemic crisis will also not be implemented in the future? Yep. You have finally discovered me. I don't care about the poor, and I want people to die. That's how it works, right? I don't know, is it? I don't know what you really...

Moren said: Mnementh said: So, you're one of the people who thinks a candidate has just to make the right promises and strategy and feel good for the voters, instead of putting forward honest policies? What you call sticking to his 30% is in reality sticking to his well-though out policy positions. No? I clearly outlined how he could have adjusted his messaging without...

tsogud said: I think I'm going to leave the Democratic party, I've read the writing on the wall and it's clear I am and people like me are not welcomed. Though I will say the Democrats are 100000x better than the Republicans. Maybe it is time for a progressive party to form. But probably the electoral system will prevent this. ...

curl-6 said: trunkswd said: The Wii U's failure is a lot more recent in people's minds than the Dreamcast, which died 20 years ago. That's what I figured too, but even though it was 20 years back, Dreamcast's failure is legendary as a tragic chapter in gaming history. I guess people forgot just how poorly it sold. Well, for me it is that I hadn't entered...

This is a pretty interesting way to graph things: https://aatishb.com/covidtrends/ This video explains how the graph works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54XLXg4fYsc This also shows that most countries do not fudge their numbers, because they probably wouldn't do it in a way, that still they line up that perfectly. ...

vivster said: Quick and fun question. Let's say we have a reliable antibody test available. And let's assume that antibodies mean you're immune. If you get tested positively you get an immunity certificate and can leave your home and conduct business as usual. Now let's assume you come back negative because you never contracted the virus and the vaccine won't come until another year. Would...

Like many here the WiiU. And I don't regret it. It had great games like Mario Kart, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Toad: Treasure Tracker, ZombiU, Hyrule Warriors. XCX was a disappointment though. And I guess I can play everything worthwile on Switch now. ...

Is Bidens campaign dead? (EDIT: Well, this was turned around completely.)

in Politics Discussion on 01 April 2020

SpokenTruth said: Biden says that the pandemic has not changed his stance at all on single payer healthcare. 3.3 million people just lost their jobs. Meaning they also lost their healthcare insurance (if they had it to begin with). But it's not just that individual worker, entire families just lost their healthcare insurance. And Biden doesn't care. At a time when we...

But even the experts are telling you we're trying to flatten the curve rather than stop the spreading. The same number will be infected in both scenarios, more people will manage to survive if the curve is flattened. Flattening the curve will NOT alter the course of...

The virus is out there and it can only be a matter of time until the vast majority of the population is infected. Healthcare doesn't have the capacities to treat everyone, so only the rich and important people will see their lives saved. The rich and important people need worker bees to keep...

Nintendo Direct Mini has just launched

curl-6 said: At least now people might actually play Xenoblade 1 I suppose. For such an amazing game it was criminally underplayed back in the day due to Nintendo of America's bone-headed decision to give it a very late and limited release. It always deserved more exposure than it got. Now Nintendo needs to remake Pandora's Tower, another game which is way underplayed and...
