Back when people read books this would be called Orwellian.
Today it’s called Tuesday.
Sadly, a huge segment of the population has accepted being lied to as normal, even preferable….otherwise no one would be stupid enough to get their “information” from random social media sources….but as we know some do.

This makes me want to go back and play HL2 Episodes 1 & 2. I know I bought them, but don't remember ever finishing them. HL2 was so technically impressive. Portal 2 was also great, especially the co-op multiplayer. Alyx is a good VR title- it's close to a "killer app" for VR, but not quite there. 1 of the few VR titles compelling enough to keep headset on for more than 1 hour.

Not half-life related, but "old but cool" PC tech from that era: I had a DVD/MPEG2 decoder card that did VGA passthrough, and would replace black pixels with the movie content - so I could watch the Matrix in the background of playing Quake or other FPS (this was a dual PIII-450Mhz). I later installed an ATSC tuner card - one of the first channels that broadcast in HD was Fox, and one of my favorite shows, 24, started to broadcast in HD - and the early days all the makeup artists took advantage of low-res, so as soon as the show went to HD, you could see how fake all the blood, makeup, and other effects were. Hollywood ramped up quickly once the first HDTVs started shipping.
That computer also ran BeOS quite well.

I love a good real angry haka, and I’m only disappointed it wasn’t followed by dozens of half naked warriors wielding war clubs rushing in and braining the representatives who put forth the bill she’s protesting.

What she’s tearing up there is a bill creating a new interpretation of the Treaty of Waitangi which was signed in 1840 by the British and 500 Māori chiefs to describe how the government(s) would operate and what rights the native people would retain….but those rights would be curtailed and limited to the point of being wiped nearly out of existence with any civil/tribal rights expansions won in the last 184 years erased by the new “interpretation”.

Needs more rage.

I have a good story for that comment.
My wife and I went to Iceland (I went to a formula offroad event while there!) a while back, and one B&B host told us that for years they sent videos of Formula Offroad to SkyTV (the European version of ESPN) with no response. Eventually they got through to someone to ask why, and were told “SkyTV doesn’t broadcast remote control cars”….yes, for over a decade they assumed no human would drive like that and it must be RC cars! When they proved it was real full size cars with real live drivers, it was immediately put on air and has been popular ever since.
Good stuff.

Side note…these events are one main way Iceland funds most of its rescue teams that save stupid tourists that go off trail and get lost.

Lol! Nick Fuentes was doxed by women he taunted and had to move back into his mommy’s basement.
Hope nobody doxxes her…that would be awful.
Enjoy 4b! It’s going to be a frustrating incel 4 years for you.

Your evidence?
Russian bloggers on twitter?
Beyoncé, Lizzo, Megan, Eminem, the Harris campaign and official campaign financial records all say it’s 100% bullshit spread from Twitter accounts.
You bought and repeated another stupid lie without checking it out, because you don’t care if it’s true you just love to talk shit like a spoiled little girl.

The Harris campaign, as of Oct. 17, lists only one endorsement-related expenditure — for $75 — in its Federal Election Commission financial reports. It was made to the League of Conservation Voters, a pro-environment nonprofit, in June, when President Joe Biden was still running for reelection.

Sorry, not sorry, liar, another stupid lie debunked as soon as you spout it.

Why is it that you continue to buy every stupid lie you’re sold and never are embarrassed or apologetic when your stupid insulting lies are proven to be lies? Must be because you have no morals or ethics left, and we’re never smart.


By comparison….
The felon’s campaign finance records showed he had to pay actors to pretend to be auto workers, union workers, blacks for Trump, etc…paid people to show up at his rallies and post a picture to prove it, etc…Elon had to pay millions for votes (and is being accused of hacking the election using Starlink to edit the data it transmitted, then crashing the satellite to erase the evidence…14 million missing votes, recounts started!)…every single relationship he’s ever had including familial has been transactional.
If you actually had a problem with that, you wouldn’t support the felon who only has paid spokespeople who make millions themselves…parking lot attorney Alina Habba?!? How many millions did she get paid?
Even Melania had to get paid $250000 to stoop to speaking for 15 minutes to support her husband.

THAT is a LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!

You also have conceded that you expect every metric of the economy to be worse under Trump than it has been under Biden, you can’t come up with a single measure you expect to improve in the next 4 years…and have telegraphed your nonsensical intent to blame Biden for Trump’s economy and accept no blame despite holding full control of all 3 branches of government. If only your people had been honest about that before the election things would be different.

You have said for a while that Bidenomics failed America despite the amazing positive economic numbers that outpaced every other economic covid recovery in the world, and have predicted a crash since Jan 21 2021…
…but have been saying “ The next POTUS will be hit hard with failing economy, thanks to Bidinomics.” for only 6 days now, followed by ridiculous fake economic numbers like a fake loss of 28000 jobs in October when there was an addition of 12000 in reality (still the worst since Trump), and comparing that to pre-pandemic numbers because you need to forget Trump’s entire last year to make his numbers acceptable or superior….Biden only created 12000 this one month, his worst….how many did Trump LOSE in his worst month? He lost around 9 million in 2020, and 3.5 million over his presidency. THE WORST JOBS RECORD IN HISTORY. Even if you forget the over 9 million Trump lost in 2020, Biden still created 2 1/2 times as many jobs in 4 years at 14-16 million to Trump’s just over 6.
Then there’s GDP , which again is no contest unless you forget 2020.
Previously you have claimed only a Trump presidency would avert a recession/depression, and a Biden, then Harris administration was a guaranteed depression and market crash….exactly the same as you said in 2020. Now that he has a second term with full control of all 3 branches of government, you say of course he can’t avert a depression and the economy will do a full 180 from the consistent positive growth numbers under Biden and when he takes over it will crash fast, but it will be Biden’s fault. I’m not surprised even a little. You never once have accepted reality or a whit of responsibility.
Reality is the economy crashed badly under Trump and the debt ballooned, the worst economic crash in our lifetimes by far with most jobs lost and biggest deficit and a million dead, and rebounded under Biden with half the added debt despite being handed the already crashed and sinking fast economy. Now Trump gets a second shot with a healthy economy and numbers trending up, I bet he turns it around again.

It seems you agree, he’s going to tank the currently very healthy economy and put us in a depression, you just want to blame someone else who is not in charge when it happens.

To be fair, it's not spelled wrong, it's spelled w r o n g.

If I asked you how to spell 'parallel', would you just repeat the word back at me, or would you list the letters?

Bwaaahahaha! That’s absolutely not what you said, you said it will be great under the felon, booming all the time, everything will be amazingly better in every way…or crash immediately under Harris (just like you said in 2016 and 2020)….hypocritically hilarious that now you admit he will tank it. 😂

Also hilarious you want zero responsibility despite having 100% control….or it would be hilarious if your party wasn’t led by an infantile fascist with unregulated power and immunity for ignoring the constitution on a vendetta against over half the country.

The Biden economy is the envy of the entire world and far better than the first Trump economy unless you erase all his losses and only count successes. It is growing, not shrinking, manufacturing, gdp, jobs, wages, and earning power are ALL growing, deficit, inflation and interest shrinking..and every other metric is moving in a positive direction under Biden including the deficit. That will not continue under the bankrupter in chief. Hide and watch. He will double the debt and we will have nothing to show for it but another negative gdp.

GDP, stock markets, profits, jobs stupid, infrastructure, all measurably and significantly better under Biden than the felon, all better under Biden even erasing the omnibus disaster that was 2020 under Trump.

I blamed Trump for year 1 of Bidenomics because he kept most Trump policies, just as I will blame Bidenomics for the first 6 months to 1 year of Trumpenomics (depending on what he changes and how fast).

I just gave you the clear undisputed starting point numbers. Just like in 2016. I would bet whatever you want that, again, they will be worse after 4 years, but you Welch on bets so I’ll just make you a gentleman’s bet, those and all other economic numbers (except the personal wealth of the top 1%) will be worse in 4 years.

If he follows through with the mass deportations, that will trigger a depression.
If he kills the ACA with just a concept of a replacement, it will trigger a recession.
If he enacts 20% tariffs on imports, it will trigger a recession, followed by a trade war, followed by a global depression.
If he withholds federal funding from blue states as he has threatened, it will trigger a civil war.
The first tump administration was a slow train wreck (with a few actual train wrecks thrown in), the Biden administration has been a slow cleanup of that wreck…admittedly far too slow. The next 4 years are poised to be an ELE size meteor strike, making us wish for those halcion days of deregulated chemical train wrecks.

Yes. Never bet against the prejudices and stupidity of the average voter. Think how stupid the average person is, then realize fully half are actually stupider than that.

I thought you wouldn’t be able to pin yourself down on any way the next 4 years will be “better”…I was 100% correct.

You might note he and Musk have admitted their economic plan will lead to a depression by next summer, they just think they can rebuild better after they destroy the economy.

Shocker…all maga advisors have already come out to say “yes, project 2025 is real and is our actual agenda.”
Anyone with a brain knew it, sadly that’s only about 1/4 of America. Well…248 years of democracy is still a pretty good record. It would have been nice to see 250 though.

Any Latinos who voted for him are about to find out that even naturalized citizens aren’t safe from their plan…worried?….Puerto Ricans aren’t even safe (recall he wants to “trade” PR for Greenland, and has plans to return Alaska to Russia). It’s going to be interesting times, especially for non white males.
I wonder what his plans for Hawaii are. Are they going to be Chinese in 2 years?

I would like you to pin down EXACTLY how it will be “better”…because the economy was better under Biden, health was better under Biden, crime was better under Biden, deficit was better under Biden….so how EXACTLY will it be better, and pick something that is measured like crime or gdp or unemployment or average lifespan or the stock market, not something ephemeral based on your feelings. Then we can take today’s (or Jan 19ths) measure and see how 2, then 4 years change it. I doubt you’re prepared to stand by your statement, prove me wrong.

Once again, all the looting, burning, bombing, and shootings were right wing nutjobs, just like the two attempted assassins and all the violent Jan 6 insurrectionists. This will definitely embolden them. They may continue to pretend to be left wingers, like the Boogaloo boys did during the 2020 BLM protests, or they may finally feel secure enough to be honest about who they are and what they stand for (like the Boogaloo boys were in their written manifesto only found when they were caught after setting off bombs and shooting cops and blaming BLM).

The media has been on the felon’s side this election, sane washing him daily while scrutinizing her every syllable. Why do you expect a reversal? They’ve been bought by right wing billionaires and are still under threat of losing their license if they don’t pretend the felon is a virile genius superman who does literally everything right.

That's got to be fake. No way it's coming out of the nozzle at that rate, and I'd say that angle would stop it too.

They're rubbing it in saying it's "for educational purposes." It's that kind of education that could get you killed if you try it (but only in America, obviously).

Crappy.
Mine are infinitely better. As a kid, an ant bite (or any sting) would make my entire arm swell until it looked like it might pop. Now I keep bees and barely notice stings. I just quit reacting at some point.
I took shots daily for years (early 80s) to get over food and pollen allergies only to move where there’s different pollen, but it’s still better.

Yep, being old sucks…but I’ve found that for the most part it’s a choice, one easily made by ignoring your best options. I have a bad back, and had a paralyzed dog for 7 years. Together they gave me plenty of excuses to stay on the couch far too much. I honestly feel like I’ve reversed 25 years of aging with just some exercise (consistent long dog walking) and eating just slightly better for 18 months. Since I’m bald, I don’t even have gray hair!

What a terrible release date. I understand the appeal of a christmas release, but ants hibernate!

Obviously not all of them or the sift would pretty much die off, but enough of them to effectively wipe out a colony game.

Still bragging about his “love fest” as an amazing event everyone loved, still hasn’t disavowed the comments he approved ahead of time (he read the script and he had him remove jokes calling Kamala a cunt, so he knew exactly what would be said ahead of time and approved), which he should have done at the event if he disagreed with the constant overt racism that every single pre-vetted speaker read from the teleprompters the campaign loaded with their hate speech.
Puerto Ricans and Latinos are not coming back. They can sway multiple swing states and even red states like Florida…lose Florida you lose it all. Good job!

Even Raphael “Ted” Cruz is losing in Texas….before the Nazi…I mean maga rally. Tons of Latinos in Texas, and Cruz has been clear he’s not there for them.

The Hitler/nazi praise isn’t going away, it’s being reinforced by his behavior, his plans (both stated and leaked), his constant abusive racism, and more and more direct witnesses coming forward to confirm that is who he is. Good job!

Once again, know Elon and Trump have both admitted their economic plans will decimate the economy, they expect it to fail so they can “rebuild it”. They are PLANNING A DEPRESSION because it will make it easier to rob America and they can afford it.

Oops, maga Mike said he will kill Obamacare (with no replacement) and completely deregulate healthcare (no more medicine that has medicine in it) and industry (because everyone knows industry always self regulates safely and honestly). He’s supposed to keep that quiet until Nov 6, dummy!
