In order to save democracy you must vote for Biden which will probably result in Kamala Harris becoming president. A person nobody voted for.
  • I don't think this is really that great of an "electoralism is fuck" argument, since Harris is literally on the ballot.

  • Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
  • Worse timeline for the country... but best timeline for terminally online politicos sicko-beaming

  • I modded a GBA ^_^
  • As difficult as it might be to believe, battery life is often improved by modern backlit IPS screens.

  • Old farts of Hexbear, is there something about younger people that you don't get? [no punching down!]
  • The kids seem mostly fine. They probably don't understand quite how extraordinary the pressure is on them compared to even just 25 years ago. I'm very concerned about how their math skills are developing, but I think that has something to do with how much schools have fallen apart and/or turned into performance pressure cookers. They're kinder than previous generations, and honestly it's surprising to me that they are because of how fucked society is around them.

    I don't get their humor, but I assume it's very funny if you're in the know.

  • Elon has another secret child
  • He's doing his part to combat wealth inequality, just like Sam Walton did. Instead of having one or two kids who become the richest people in the world, instead have a dozen kids and each of them can be the 20th richest person in the world.

  • This community note is fuckin wild.
  • This is an excellent example of one of the ways that moral progress has actually reversed in the last few decades. Even the compararively barbaric European and American politicians of the early 1900's all understood and accepted that economic sanctions were a form of actual warfare.

  • nuclear russian roulette
  • Imagine if a nuclear exchange happened, but none of the warheads went off because of some unforseen flaw from the material degradation that arises after sitting in a silo for thirty years.

  • Photojournalist shot in the eye with "less lethal" rubber bullet while covering 2020 protests is now dying due to complications from that event
  • Whoever the bastard is who shot her probably doesn't even think about what they've done. Especially since they're getting a big fucking raise this month from the city of Minneapolis. It's really fucking dark, and kind of a metaphore for how agents of the imperial core just casually kill all sorts of people without thought, much less consequences.

  • Our Marxism versus theirs
  • Correcting someone's spelling is imperialist

  • What's the best torrent client these days?
  • qBittorrent Just Works. I also use transmission sometimes, as it's just the default installed client on some distros.

  • Fargo woman facing 30 years in prison for bong water • North Dakota Monitor
  • Just an excuse to steal her car and money. It goes without saying that the "justice system" acts in contempt for the spirit of the law, and sees it merely as a tool to ruin lives. For the cops in this case, there's at least the motivation that the seized cash and car will be spent on new toys. For the prosecutor, the only motivation is pure evil.

  • bye bye youtube
  • It's kind of like how Reddit killing off 3rd party apps just made me stop wasting so much time on reddit.

  • Admit it. You pooped your pants when facing these as a kid
  • The most nightmarish enemy in Kirby.

  • Games are moving towards more and more realism and the depiction of women in them matches that and it's a good thing but your average G*mer's brain is still stuck in 2002:
  • They were packed full of content, too. Reviews, interviews, strategy guides, cheats and mods. Even the ads were cool. I kept a lot of my old game magazines, and they're still pretty fun to read through. Obviously, you have to grit and bear all the edgy "humor" and hornyness.

    The 80s and 90s were a golden age for hobby magazines. I think by the late 00s, all the young writers (who have always made up the bulk of writers for magazines) started making tool-assisted content for content mills and blogspam, and that style of writing is what now dominates hobby magazines. Modern magazine content must be first and foremost slop for the web version of the magazine, and it's only later cobbled together into the physical version.

  • I thought to myself "Hey! An article at the New York Times that might be worth reading!" See spoiler.
  • Ezra must think that the lesson of The Scorpion and the Frog is that you must simply accept that you're going to get stung every time you cross the river.

  • It's literally me (minus smash bros cos who plays that trash)
  • I loved those albums, but I was usually listening while playing Perfect Dark.

  • [Official] Celeste Original Soundtrack - 03 - Resurrections - YouTube
  • Really cool soundtrack for a cool game. The B-side remixes are great.

  • mouse recommendations
  • I've been using a Zowie EC1 for years. It mimicks the shape of the old MS intellimouse explorer 3.0,

  • Free Software Games for LAN parties?

    I want to host some LAN parties this winter, and am looking for some Free Software Games that would be a fun time. We already play some Counterstrike and StarCraft 2, but I want to expand into some actual Free games. Windows compatibility is a must, MacOS compatibility is desirable!

    The two on my radar are:

    • Hedgewars, which seems like a strong candidate. We played a ton of Worms 2 in the 90s
    • 0 A.D., since we're already fans of RTS games.

    But I know there must be some wacky ones out there which would be suitable for 30 minutes of pick up play.
