  • Trump Administration Reportedly Pushing ICC to Exempt Trump From War Crimes Prosecution

    Jump

  • Post 9/11 knee jerk responses that began to erode and destroy a lot of what made the US. The Taliban already won then and there.

    The US always has done heinous shit but it was always under the covers. Not blatantly out in the open.

  • FBI: Man, woman drive to police station with Homeland Security agent trapped in vehicle

    Jump

  • They avoid areas that are known to be well armed.

  • American Whiskey Production Has Plummeted to a New Low

    Jump

  • American Whiskey was a very popular export, especially to Canada.

    And they have become very good at boycotting US goods. Especially when there are plenty of alternatives.

  • Poll Finds 62% of Republicans Believe Gov’t is ‘Hiding’ Info on Epstein’s Clients

    Jump

  • Surveying Dems about the same question will probably get you near 100%. It's the same 37-38% that are always blind followers for the Rs.

  • You don't have to rake it away, just make it irrelevant. They only have so much power now because First Past the Post voting systems don't need anywhere near a majority, just a little more than everyone else. So with as few as 3 candidates you could win with only 34% of the vote.

    Switching to an actually representative election style like ranked choice voting means the outliers are represented more accurately instead of getting an oversized platform their size doesn't warrant.

  • Valve says "the Steam Machine is equal or better than 70% of what people have at home," but I feel like that's missing the point

    Jump

  • While it is opt-in, it requires almost no user input other than agreeing. Everything is automated and takes just a few seconds.

    I'm willing to bet the number of people that opt out is so small that it is statistically irrelevant.

    Jump

  • I have a buddy that literally just had coffee spilled on his old gaming laptop. He mostly used it for some older games, like Skyrim was the newest. And he does a lot of urban camping and stuff like that.

    The Steam Deck is a perfect replacement for his use case. Just waiting for another sale since he just missed this recent one.

  • Disney, OpenAI strike landmark deal to let fans create AI-generated videos

    Jump

  • This agreement must be freaking insane. Disney is extremely litigious. Just look at the bullshit they did as Steamboat Willy entered the public domain. It was clear what was legal and not, and they tried to obfuscate that as much as possible to prevent people from legally using public domain works.

    Or trying to cite Disney+ streaming terms to avoid an allergic reaction death at a Disney restaurant due to negligence.

    OpenAI must be paying them a crap ton.

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene says GOP leader promised a vote on her bill to put pro-trans doctors in jail

    Jump

  • No that was never in question. She's a true believer, she actually believes the base level of shit she says. Trump stopped playing all that up and made it clear that he doesn't actually believe most of what he says. He's just saying what's expected and will get him what he wants. Which is obvious to anyone with any sort of critical thinking capability, but this is MTG after all.

  • Star Wars: Fate Of The Old Republic - Announcement Trailer | The Game Awards 2025

    Jump

  • It's also par for the course with recent Quantic Dream announcements.

    The Kara tech demo was released March 2012 (over a year before the current game they were working on, Beyond: Two Souls released). And Detroit: Become Human gave us the corresponding game for Kara but didn't release until May 2018. So that's 6 years from announcement/introduction of a new game to it's release.

  • PepsiCo to cut prices, eliminate products as part of a deal with an activist investor

    Jump

  • Maybe that activist investor should be pushing them to leave the Russian market like competitors such as Coca Cola due to the invasion of Ukraine. Pepsi is actively increasing their market in the country and thereby helping fund the war with increased tax revenue.

  • Star Wars: Fate Of The Old Republic - Announcement Trailer | The Game Awards 2025

    Jump

  • Star Wars Eclipse was announced in 2021. It's a Quantic Dream game, they usually take their time, deliver a polished release and don't really talk about stuff until the release. I'd rather they take their time than release the shit everyone else does. That's probably the worst example to use of Star Wars stuff being bad recently.

  • Leaked documents claim 'US wants to convince four countries to quit EU' in bid to 'Make Europe Great Again'

    Jump

  • I mean Hungary already acts like it's not part of it when it comes to anything regarding foreign policies. At this point I'm they seem to just be mooching off the economic benefits.

  • Star Wars: Fate Of The Old Republic revealed - a KOTOR "spiritual successor" RPG led by Mass Effect's Casey Hudson

    Jump

  • I'm hopeful given who's in charge. But not holding my breath at all. I will assume it is dogshit until it proves otherwise. It's the only way to approach AAA titles nowadays.

  • For 2nd time, grand jury refuses to indict New York AG Letitia James: Sources

    Jump

  • While true, Federal prosecutors historically don't even bother with charges if they're not sure of a conviction. This is just explicit evidence that this DOJ is both incompetent and focused on politics not justice.

  • For 2nd time, grand jury refuses to indict New York AG Letitia James: Sources

    Jump

  • Not just keep trying and failing, but doing so multiple times in just a couple months. This DOJ is run by incompetence.

  • Ms Rachel forced to hire security over Zionist threats

    Jump

  • Israel is doing everything it can to obfuscate the difference between zionist and being Jewish in general. They want to hide in the group and declare everything generally antisemitic. They want to hide in the mistaken belief that they can't commit a genocide, because Holocaust. As if that was the only genocide on history, and it somehow gives them a free pass.

  • ADL announces successful effort to pressure Pomona College to implement policies to crack down on criticism of Israel

    Jump

  • I wonder if the ADL will ever realize that all they're doing is making the situation worse across the board for the perception of Israel and the Jewish people.

  • Ms Rachel forced to hire security over Zionist threats

    Jump

  • Her main crime appears to have been hosting and paying for a birthday party for Rahaf, a three-year-old Palestinian child who lost both legs to an Israeli bomb in the Gaza genocide.

    Yup... She is definitely the bad person in all of this. For sure. A Jewish person paying for the birthday party for a Palestinian crippled by Israeli terrorists is definitely worthy of being targeted by some group of dipshits going by "StopAntisemitism". The mental gymnastics at play here are spinning at the speed of light.
