That’s what my quoted portion is describing, too. Hostile governments and the ruling elite have infiltrated Congress, and told them to bicker and act like they’re trying but actually do nothing noteworthy. Republicans are dancing to their tune and, yeah also benefiting from it. ‘See, how the government doesn’t work! Elect more stooges and dismantle it further! (Also, Project 2025!!)’

We can’t get Congress to agree to anything right now, the ruling elite and external hostile governments have crippled them. The Republican members see this as a win for Trump and that Biden has limited time and won’t do anything antagonistic. Remember, the SCOTUS is the only entity that can determine whether or not a president acted officially, as per this ruling. The SCOTUS, that’s heavily right leaning, would crucify a Democratic president and justify a Republican. The other route would be impeachment, but we saw how that went and it has the same problems as a constitutional amendment, the gridlock in Congress.

there were a couple things that I hated about their overpromising on the front end; the uniform procedurally built worlds (there’s no real variety of terrain like Earth), the repetitive assets for structures (they’re all the same), planets don’t actually revolve around anything And you can’t fly between systems (they’re boxes, it’s not open. The only way from one system to the other is a loading screen hidden behind a warp animation).

Did they fix these?

I mean, I stayed until the end but my drinking skyrocketed. I honestly don’t remember the end. It was rough. Being a little informed I knew good and well that Trump was absolutely dodging the questions and laying down outright lies and propaganda, but every time I looked at Biden… holy fuck.

Funny thing, I couldn’t figure out how to use the higher tier magic you got from the stones you collected. I played the whole game using the base spells you got from the environment. I wish Google were around back then to figure that one out.

I’ve seen The Handmaiden’s Tale. I know how mass immigration into Canada would end up, you aren’t going to fool me.

Not if he gets into the White House. Every crime they are still doing won’t matter when he doesn’t give up power this next time.

The right is underfunding libraries across the country (in the US), attacks like this would or do already further stress libraries when they’re already financially vulnerable. This does have a huge impact on this particular library.

That’s why also waiting until they’re streaming helps, too. If it’s an IP I’m already interested in, I’ll see it in theatres, blind, if it’s something new I’ll generally wait for it to be stream able then do the same at home.

Edit: case in point, I’m watching Tenet now and had no clue what it was about and it’s blowing my mind. I can’t believe I slept on this one for so long.

Noise canceling headphones and an audiobook or music, I do it every time.

Just stop watching trailers and go in blind.

One of my favorite reveals was finding out that ‘Passengers’ wasn’t a train movie, which made everything that much better being blindsided by a pretty decent scifi story when I was expecting another train murder mystery.

And add onto that that Former (felonious) President Trump’s personal Doctor said he was the fittest president ever! The doctors will absolutely be on the payroll when it comes to the most powerful politicians.
