First thing the Dems need to do is bring in new leadership for House and Senate.

Hakeem and Chuck have long outlived their usefulness and will do more harm than good when it comes to pushing for what needs to be done in the future.

“Sponsored by Ted Cruz”

That’s all that’s necessary for me. Drag it all the way down. He has almost never sponsored anything for my benefit.

Oh no…

Anyway, how’s this Friday going for everyone?

The Homer was fugly, but it was fun.

CyberDumpster is fugly, and lacks fun. Even if you take Muskrat’s politics out of the equation, the dumpster isn’t functional, and is outperformed by a Honda half its price.

There is someone who has one in my area and taking a look at him…he just looks like a guy who has always tried so painfully to be in the cool crowd, so he jumps first into new things, but just keeps failing. And, it’s very clear that he can’t do anything else with it because he dropped so much money on it and likely can’t afford to “trade-in” for half its value.

Ah, true. That’s very fair.

Oh, I’m not his fan girl. Just giving a nod for when someone does the right thing.

I know you jest, but a lot of the original devs were back for that project and had they not been pulled for other recent EA projects, we might have had something substantial at this point.

Also, Andromeda devs kept getting pulled into Anthem, and Anthem devs were a group of RPG devs tasked with a new engine and forced to create an open world game within a studio not know for that. So, Andromeda failed because of Anthem, and Anthem failed because of the engine and lack of experience. Veilguard failed because the lessons of Inquisition were never learned.

Anyway, I’m sure EA will allow yet another set of remakes/remasters of Mass Effect once/if the next Gen of consoles are released.

And, with this announcement, Newsome 2028 has begun. 😅

But, props where props are due. Death penalty gets handed out far too often and far too disproportionately, within a legal system that gets stuff wrong far too often.

Rip.

You’ve lived well.

Oh Captain! My Captain.

I can’t…

I had to put together a deck for work and they said “add some personal themes”. Mine was all Trek. He was leading every slide.

My stomach hurts. My heart hurts. I’m literally in tears.

You mean to say that all the savings from their AI drive-through agents hasn’t helped???

It has long been my opinion that all politicians are either corrupt or stupid, often times both.

Does anyone remember when politicians actually pretended to work for the people?

I’m older now, and the memory feels dim, but if I sit and think, I can just barely remember a time when politicians realized that they worked for the people.

Nothing will push them to vote Dem.

They may vote for an independent candidate or not vote at all, but they will not vote Dem, regardless of how many Dem policies align with their own.

Watching an ad would earn players another block of ad-free play time, called a “credit”

As a millennial, I’ve watched the rise and fall of many things. Never thought I’d see the entire fall of gaming and so soon following its rise.

It’s not just LG. It’s all of them.

And, the cheaper the TV, the more often and intrusive these settings are.

It’s honestly better to just have a bare wall and a projector.

Society has made it no longer safe, desirable, or even useful to have children anymore.

Focus on reducing deaths during pregnancy and during childbirth. The fact that any woman could die during childbirth in the 21st century is an absolute travesty. The fact that women are more likely to be killed by their partners during a pregnancy than during any other point is a shame that all societies should feel.

Focus on ensuring that a woman can afford to feed, clothe, house, and educate her children, especially in the event that something happens to the father (death, war, being a jackass). Motherhood is a full-time job that has no pay and no PTO, and somehow we are expected to do manage a household and a full-time job on top of all that? If governments want more babies born, they need to make it feasible to do. If men want more babies to be born, they also must take up the responsibilities of managing a household so that the onus is not 100% on just the mother.

Focus on affordable childcare so women don’t have to choose between having a child and having a career, because if we have to make a choice…well, the birth rates speak for themselves.

Or! How about we prepare for a society with fewer people overall?!

The fact is for the first time in human history women have the ability to choose men, marriage, and children rather than having these things forced upon them, and we are opting out entirely. All the incentives in the world will not make me see purpose in bringing a child into this hellscape. A pregnancy puts me at risk of death. Childbirth puts me at risk of death. Men somehow get to just leave their families and start over, but if things get hard women have to figure it out with the burden of a child/ren on top of it. Miss me with all that!

I will carry on in my career, sit in my house that I bought on my own, and live my life full of experiences and hobbies and extended family and friends that I would not be able to have if I were saddled with a child.

We’re going to need the full story here. What the heck man?? They just delete you if you’re offline for a couple years?

Yes, but at least the old boss cared more about money and shareholder value than political statements…
