My first presidential election was in 1980. I have voted in every election since, and I have NEVER voted for a candidate I liked. The best I could ever hope for was the lesser of two evils, and sometimes the difference wasn’t so wide.

But that wasn’t the case in 2024, where the difference between the two sides was far wider than I have ever experienced. I am very distressed at the situation in Haza, and I did not support Biden’s weak, cowardly approach at all, but I also knew that Trump’s approach was going to be far, far worse. And Harris’ approach was an an unknown, since she refused to say anything that signalled any difference in policy from Biden.

But all of it is just blathering because that didnt make any difference in this election. It was totally rigged, and we ALL know it.

I caught that the instant he said it. So they are planning another round of Market Manipulation in a month or two, got it.

We’ve already had 3 rounds, in less than 90 days. It seemed like his 90 day pause on this last round was a bit longer because he wanted to let it cool down, but I knew he wouldn’t be able to resist the lure of dirty money at the expense of the poors.

I’m happy for the heads up. Unfortunately, I dont have the kind of money required to take full advantage of this, but at least Ill know to hang on.

Bullying a bully is not bullying.

Because the people who own the company are buttholes.

My worst case scenario is that HitlerPig keaves NATO, and joins an alliance with Russia, China, North Korea, etc.

As a show of good faith to his new “friends,” he will give Alaska back to Russia, and Taiwan back to China. He will claim it’s a good deal, because they gave him Canada and Geeenland, even though those countries aren’t theirs to give.

He’ll act like the lonely rich kid, bribing the cool kids to let him hang with them, but they’ll just use him for what they can get from him, and hate him all the same.

Why are they rebooting “Minority Report?” The Tom Cruise version was excellent, we don’t need a new one.

Anyone who thinks gay is a choice is gay, because they felt gay, and made the choice to live straight, and they assume that all straight people made the same choice. They don’t understand that real straight people always felt straight, and never made a choice, it was just who they are.

“I’m not gay, I’m an Alpha Male.”

Only the good die young.

They were probably going to quit over personal morality anyway, so good for them for using their exit for positive. At least they can leave with their self-respect and dignity intact, and the respect of their co-workers and the world. Somewhere there is a moral employer who will appreciate them.

“You got any more of these tasty notes? I haven’t had all I can eat.”

The only reason we think its the other way around is because the POV is from The Brain’s twisted perspective.

The Brain is insane, Pinky is the true genius. We only think it’s the other way around because the POV is The Brain’s.

Yup, can’t call them that anymore. Now they are MAGA Nazis.

Call him a Pakled, that’s allowed.

Cool! Thanks!

BLACK socks.

I’m a real dummy about modern video games. I was an OG gamer from the 80s, who spent the equivalent of a down payment on a house in quarters, playing Centipede at mall arcades. Later, I got into the early PC shoot-em up games like Quake, Quake 2, Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, etc.

But I never got a game console, because I had recognized that I could have a serious problem with video game addiction. Eventually, I stopped playing altogether, especially after I started a business, and had to carve out time in my schedule, and video games and sports had to go. I didnt follow either for about 25 years.

Now I’m semi-retired, and would love to play those old games again, but I don’t really know how to do it on a modern PC. I actually have all my old CD-ROMs, but my computer hasn’t had a CD-ROM drive for years, and Im not going to buy a console.

Is there a way to download Quake and Quake 2, and my other favorites? Where do I go for that?

I know, I’m a gaming idiot, I just spent the last few decades focusing on other stuff.

I’d download a house or a car in a heartbeat, and never feel the tiniest inkling of guilt.

So they are emphasizing gameplay over vigorous free speech discussion, which was their original mission. Makes sense to pivot like this, after kicking out all your veteran, high volume posters. Now discussion threads are filled with puns, trolls, bots, Russian Propaganda Farmers, etc., and its only gotten much worse now that their best participants aren’t diluting the nonsense.
