Trump will challenge no matter what the margin is, if he loses. He will never concede because he’s a narcissistic loser and his moron followers will blindly do his bidding, especially on the next January 6.

I sure would love a modern, true sequel to Chrono Trigger. Probably unpopular, but maybe even a…gasp…MMO? (Let the beatings commence!)

Illegal lottery in Pennsylvania, okay.

But how does this not also violate FEC regulations and, you know, US law? He’s literally paying people to vote and the implication is to vote for his specific candidate.

I call bullshit. It’s an attempt to not only save face, but also to stave off lawsuits.

He should be removed.

I didn’t preclude continuing to take action. I voted for Harris and will continue to vote for the most sane candidate in each election, primary and general. Same for down ballot.

Never once said the plan was to wait it out. I simply said the insanity perpetrated by the previous generations looks to be on borrowed time — an obvious assertion probably, but an assertion nonetheless.

Maybe my intent is cleared up now.

Thank you for your efforts. I’m in GA and proudly voted for Harris. Doing my part as well, one week will tell if it made any difference.

I’m optimistic in the future generations, yes. And you’re right, at any given moment, there’s a bell curve that can describe the way people are for an event or a trend or an age. I suppose I see the younger generations as moving the curve along an axis toward a better world.

I may very well turn out to be wrong. But I’ll be dead by then.

Of course it’s more than just the boomers. But once those two generations are dead and gone, they take their lack of empathy and their unfettered narcissism with them.

And I know a few boomers who got plenty of their bullshit from those sites because those sites were just a circlejerk of Fox News lies.

I’m not saying younger generations won’t also have a collection of morons as well, but those generations grew up with this nonsense and they will forever remember the kind of country and world that was left to them.

Boomer generation will be dead soon. And Gen X isn’t too far behind. This bullshit is already time-limited.

Yes, with more idiots in the congregation.

Adobe can fuck right off. They have become a completely shit company.

…in the past 40 years it’s changed from “some” to “most”.

Yes. They lie and act like it’s true. It’s how they implement control. And billions of people still eat it up because of forced indoctrination from birth.

In other words, many voters lack critical thinking skills. Yep, that tracks.

Wow, a CEO who doesn’t buy into the hype? That’s astonishing.

I, for one, cannot wait for the bubble to burst so we can get back to some sense of sanity.

Edit>> Though if Baidu is investing in AI like all the rest, then maybe they just think they’ll be immune — in which case I’m sad again that I haven’t yet come across a CEO who calls bullshit on this nonsense.

AI will have its uses, and it has practical use cases such as helping people to walk or to speak or to translate in real time, etc. But we’re decades away from what all these CEOs seem to think they’re going to cash in on now. And it’ll be fun on some level watching them all be wrong.

Odd, I seem to remember reading the exact same headline in 2020. Perhaps Americans just hate life in America because of 60 years of nonstop existential bullshit.

The downward spiral of education, the constant fight or flight news cycle, and the rise of the unfettered oligarchy have vastly contributed to the current state of America.

I’m reminded nearly every day of Carl Sagan’s “foreboding” quote from “The Demon-Haunted World”.

“Everything the light touches is our kingdom.”

Lutris + GE-Proton + umu works. If you use GE-Proton as the runner, Lutris automatically uses umu to launch the game which launches within the Steam Pressure Vessel container.

You can manage GE-Proton downloads using Protonplus. The latest version, last I checked, is GE-Proton9-15.

Haven’t used anything related to Wordpress in 15 years. Seems I’ll make that a permanent decision now.

I agree on everything except that once a person reaches the age of reason, they can no longer blame their upbringing for their mental inadequacies, barring any real mental disability. At some point people have the ability to think for themselves — they simply choose not to because humans, like electricity, follow the path of least resistance.

At that point they are responsible for their own education, bigotry, and hatred.
