Trump is confidently stating lie after lie after lie, basically the condensed version of his recent speeches main lies.

I think it’s time to change the name of the Gish Gallop into a Trump Torrent… Or maybe not, that would feed into the orange troll’s narcisism

To be fair, communism as seen under Stalin and fascism aren’t too different, horseshoe theory. Pulling the definition of fascism from wikipedia: “a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.”

Dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation, strong regimentation of the economy, you could see all of those things while Stalin was in power and many continued on subsequent USSR leaders.

It’s no wonder George Orwell, a democratic socialist, saw the USSR and said “fuck no, I don’t want that shit”

Imagine being so fed up with propaganda to the point of believing that immigrants are causing the housing market prices to go to the moon, completely ignoring the companies, trust funds and banks essentially repeating 2008 all over again, but slightly different, buying houses and apartments as “safe investment”

Thank you etenarl mr skeltal

Can’t outrun the fine if she can note down your license plate

“Dearest [gentleman/madame], I sincerely wish that thy behind be filled with a solid apparatus in an uncomfortable manner.”

Don’t forget depression, anxiety and thought crime caused by social media addiction

How else are they supposed to tell the entire world they are massive dicks with micro penises?

Roblox is what zuckerfuck wish his metaverse could become. Millions of kids playing, another thousands working effectively for free to create content, and the very few that actually find success see that getting any money out of Roblox and into their bank accounts is hard as hell and comes with exorbitant taxes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gXlauRB1EQ -> Video is almost 3 years old, but I doubt Roblox got better for developers in any capacity.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6PYj93SGxc -> Essentially the same thing as above, but from September 2023, with some numbers updated, like the CEO saying they made “over 100 million dollars of cash in Q1” (2023), the place having over 50 million games, and more.

As for programming, I have to ask, do you program on your phone? I would use my laptop here.

I’ve tried a couple of times, but gave up. I have a laptop for all my needs, my plan was to program while on the bus to/from work. At least writing down stuff is still doable.

I had to look that up, it’s just too good to pass.

(Cassius Dio, contemporary historian) tells us that the empress teased her companion (the wife of Argentocoxos, a Caledonian chief) by saying that Caledonian women indulge in a sexual free-for-all, sharing their beds with different men while making no attempt to conceal their adultery. To a respectable aristocratic lady like Julia, such brazen promiscuity would indeed have seemed worthy of comment. We then see the wife of Argentocoxos swiftly responding with what Dio calls ‘a witty remark’ of her own:

“We fulfil the demands of nature in a much better way than do you Roman women; for we consort openly with the best men, whereas you let yourselves be debauched in secret by the vilest.”

A bit further below, however

The consensus view among present-day historians is that he simply invented the speech quoted above.

If there’s one thing the Lockpicking Lawyer taught me, is that the vast majority of locks only work because almost nobody bothers to learn lockpicking. Some “extra safe” locks being defeated by a fucking magnet of all things always amuse me

I’ll be here to read those numbers

Good for you. My sausage fingers mean I have to use swipe motions more often than not, and often the word will be wrong, then I have to backspace and type it letter by letter, sometimes getting it right, often getting some letters wrong.

Autocorrect means trying anything akin to programming, or typing commands in a terminal emulator is an exercise in patience. “Just turn it off” - see sausage fingers problem

There was the Virtual Boy and some other things before 2001 (21st century) rolled around. The tech wasn’t good/miniaturized enough back then

Oh, that game looks amazing to play PvP. You can get it for free on the microsoft store, too.

Descent did get 2 sequels and also a spinoff, Descent: Freespace and later Freespace 2. F2 has seen a HUGE amount of mods, partly due to the engine going open source back in 2002

Freespace 3 could be awesome, what with Elite seeing a rebirth.

Road Redemption was a Road Rash-esque attempt some years ago. I remember the performance was kinda shitty, but the game was mostly fine.

Or just buy a glass or box of juice, which is also cheaper than their proprietary bags
