It's another echo chamber, one that will also not be free from AI nonsense and I've seen some Marxists moving over there as well. If anything I just see Bsky as being another Titanic (like how Twitter is right now). It's just heading slowly towards it's own course with an iceberg. You're honestly better off with this site and discord, you'll be better off talking with friends and the community here than on social media, where you know shit is going to get spun. I've also tried the other sites before BSky btw. I was there when Pillowfort was a thing, it was meant to be the tumblr for artists, it crashed and burned. Did the same for Itaku, and that has an interesting SFW/NSFW system layout (can literally switch profiles to view what content you wish to see and users get to control their own tagging and edit in real time, which was such a good feature), but that also had gone super quiet/dying. You've also seen how general journos are acting right now in the games/news industries, relying on twitter posts hearsay and gaming journos out there using AI to quickly spew out articles, it's not really productive and leads to more and more misinformation (like that fake NDA page on that DA thread for example).  @Bold I was going into Elder Scrolls Online Steam forums the other night and it's just... negativity (you can guess and likely know why). It's best to just cut as many sources of that kind of media out. |
I didn't know why Tbh and didn't want to know why but curiosity got the best of me, I've legit not heard a single complaint. Now I'm excited? Two new companions? Why didn't they add these during the major expansion, Lol. I need to acquire them both to add to my house now, Lol. God they really need to upgrade the limit for house companions.
I think her blue hair is a bit stereotyping so I'm a bit meh on that but as for her character herself, perfectly fits into the ES universe, Daedric Princes and Vivec both assign as male and female. These people just come across as tourists, not a fan of her stereotypical design but absolutely zero problem with her being non-binary. Also this is a game where Reptiles (Argonians) have tits so...Oh they should do some reading on Lord Vivec's...Relationship...With Molag Bal as well...Now that's a fucking wild story, Lol.
Look the real world is bad enough as it is right now, I come to gaming to escape and have fun, all I see is negativity, people angry about every little thing, and I'm uncomfortable with rooting for things to fail...Youtube/Twitch/Twitter is just choke full of rage-bait and misinformation now. That's without getting into the disgusting amount of layoffs and the Xbox fans (I love em) dooming about everything, Lol.
I've been trying to avoid this shit this year and you know what it has gone mostly well, I'm enjoying my time a lot more gaming when I'm not following these discussions, I've probably played more games this year than I have in recent years, I'm falling in love with it again then it's ruined everytime I seemingly come online.

Wow.
Not really relevant to election results, but it's sad.
Last edited by the-pi-guy - on 06 November 2024Run Jon Steward next time if the world doesn't end, I am convinced there is no better option. Not Pete, not Gavin, not the Clintons, not the Obamas, not another dem politician.
Kamala's proposed policies made me want to move the US, yet she got 10 million less votes than Biden. Jon would appear on podcasts, argue cleverly and embarrass those hosts, would be popular on TikTok, and he doesn't sound like a politician if that's what the lazy people are looking for.
Yes, yes, I am still coping... I don't even know what the world will be like in 4 years.

Meh...You may have a point, it seems Americans prefer celebrities more than actual politicians now. Celebrities and billionaires outside of the "establishment" seem to be the way things are going. What a future where politics becomes more about personality than actual policies, Lol. (Not saying Jon Stewart would be bad though).

Kamala lied and I'd say in a more scummy way than trump. She ran ads in different states with different promises that contradicted the ads ran in other states. Ones where she'd say she funding for Isreal and then in a Jewish population say she believes Isreal has the right to defend itself and support would be given. Trump doesn't know what he's saying half the time, I don't think he intentionally lies, he's just really dumb and self centered. Kamala lies felt more scummy cause she's supposed to be the mature one, Trump is the idiot everyone can laugh at, somehow he gets away with lying. Like he said at one point, he could shoot someone in times square and he'd still have support the next day. |
I've checked the statements and they are not by necessity lies, you can call them scummy reframing of your positions but you can have both those positions at the same time.
And you can see the issue here. In order to win like the GOP does I need to put forth a likeable idiot who can say nice lies but who gets a pass because he's too dumb to know otherwise. Just doesn't seem like useful advice to say "try to be the GOP".

It has been answered already. Drop special interest and focus on big ticket items. Let us use an example. Liberals get excited about green energy. What middle America hears is "increased regulation, loss of jobs and cost of good increase." Green energy DOES NOT resonant with middle America. If you want to argue it should, fair enough, but that isn't reality. This is just one example. There are plenty of others.   |
So ignore anything that makes you progressive? Nah, then there wouldn't be a point.

On one hand, Kamala only had a few months of campaigning while Trump essentially did for years.
But she was part of Biden's administration as the VP, and I think it's difficult for a woman to win in USA unfortunately. They'd rather elect a convicted felon.
Sounding like an idiot when you speak does not appear to be a disadvantage. But eloquent speakers like Obama have won as well.
I think a lot of this comes down to "egg price high" and people not realizing that Biden inherited and operated under Trump's economy, while Trump inherited Obama's.
Democrats fix the damage they do, but get the blame for it.
Had a nice sleep, and my conclusions are much clearer.
Americans deserve a full MAGA dominated government, preferably for 4 years. I just feel sorry for the rest of the world.
I've lost a lot of my faith in humanity for several reasons in the recent years, and I guess the trend continues. This time it's that I don't care what your politics are, but if you're openly and repeatedly flirting with authoritarianism in a democratic country, you should automatically be widely considered unfit for any public position by the voters. The other things I disagree with I can very well live with, but this one's just baffling. Four years ago, Trump was mostly just bullshit in my opinion, but now he's also a potential threat to democracy in the most significant democratic country and by extension the whole democratic word.
