The Gaming Den

It's weird that two political candidates in the 2024 election have made unmistakable references to the nazis on Twitter. Also, will nazis ever realize that 14 and 88 aren't crypto anymore? The New York Times explained those in 2020 (idk if they explained it earlier or later as well), even relatively...

No, no, no. You guys are all against Ukraine because you want the US to not send mass murder bombs. And obviously we can't send them other weapons because then we wouldn't have enough missiles and shit to blow up China if they go for Taiwan. I know what you might be thinking, "couldn't we send ...

The cluster bomb news is weird as hell, I genuinely can't fathom why you would use them on your own territory. It's just too dangerous (and if we want to be capitalist about it, expensive) to clean up after them so you're rendering all the territory you cluster bombed fucking useless for a long time...

I'm 99% sure you're being sarcastic and this is Biden stopping them instead of Trump wielding influence to prevent states from expanding automatic voter registration, but I want to know. Is the Biden regime stopping states from expanding automatic voter registration? Expanding voting rights was one ...

Speaking of Biden not doing anything about SCOTUS taking away people's rights, it's now legal to refuse service to LGBT people if you hide behind your religion. Thanks Biden, I love that, should we choose to have a wedding instead of just doing some paperwork, my fiance and I can be refused service ...

I've never understood the 5G conspiracies, it all feels vaguely like Havanna Syndrome quackery. It's just fucking cell networks, there does not appear to be any reason to believe 5G is going to let satanic pedophiles mind control everyone. At least the "fluoride will make everyone sheep!" ...

I don't think West would be likely to win, I just think he'd be around Bernie strength (and the Bernie coalition has gotten bigger) and be immune to a few of the attacks people used against Bernie. Though who knows, I wouldn't be that shocked if the Democrats called Cornel West a racist because of t...

Hell yeah on West moving over to the Greens, it just makes sense given he's supported them in the past. I think it would be better if he entered the Democrat primary to challenge Biden, but I'm still happy to just have him in the race if he's sticking with the Greens (and wins their primary). I thin...

The cops are going to shoot the pollution right out of the air. It isn't from this country, doesn't have any money, and it's dark, which is what the cops call a trifecta.

Fuck. I wonder what the options are for stopping it are now, aside from the direct action people have been doing. Can the council revoke funding if they manage to get a different vote, or is that it for legal means of stopping copy city? I thought the forest was considered really important to Atlant...

I specifically said I have a candidate to throw away my pointless general election vote for. I'm throwing away my presidential primary vote for Williamson, barring some other, better late entry into the primary. That sucks about the People's Party, and I'm surprised he would run for a crappy party r...

I know Kemp said the 3 people (who were all from Georgia) were out-of-state agitators, are the Democrats saying that too? This situation is incredibly fucked.

That all makes sense, there is just something about dictating that age alone disqualifies people from a position that puts me off. We do that to young people (I still can't run for president yet!) already, and since it extends to 35 I can't even pretend it's because of brain development or anything,...

You can definitely be 80+ and still have a brain that works well. We have a few of them in government right now! If you take good care of yourself and get lucky (maybe mostly get lucky?) you don't have to be Dianne Feinstien, you don't even have to be Joe Biden, you can be Bernie Sanders instead. No...

The problem is not with people requesting asylum in Mexico, it's that Biden wants to make it impossible for people to request asylum in the US if they dared pass through Mexico (and a ton of other countries, but Mexico is obviously the big one because it's on the southern border). You can travel thr...

The grand jury is going to indict, right? This is a murder that was literally recorded, and where nobody could possibly think Neely was a threat (given he had 3 people restraining him) or that a chokehold was needed. I haven't watched the video because fuck seeing another innocent person get choked ...

Another one bites the dust, First Republic bank just got seized and is being bought up by JPMorgan Chase. This purchase should mean taxpayers won't need to bail out the deposits of First Republic, so this doesn't sound bad at all.

I love the new, inclusive WoTC that hires murderers to collect cardboard for them. Imagine breaking somebody's kneecaps for a Mirari, though.

If Trump dies, can't the GOP run someone just as evil, but pretend that he (it'd be a he) isn't so bad until the election? I think the Trump base would start assuming someone assassinated him if he died, even if Trump's own doctors said there was no foul play. If there's no Trump I don't think the ...

I'm fine to make this a general 2024 election thread if we'd prefer that. Biden has announced he's going for a second term . This is bad news in my opinion, as the majority of people in the country, including the majority of Democrats , did not want Joe Biden to run for president again. I think Bide...

I love how all the things that would combat temperature rise make for a better world and we still won't do it. We need to stay the course or else Jeff Bezos won't be able to get a third, bigger yacht that requires his yacht-supported yacht to support.

I know this was addressed, but I want to talk about just how disgustingly dishonest (or completely idiotic) dead's claims are. Yes, I think 'regular people' in the US can and do buy houses. It appears that 65% of households own their home . Dead, this is households . It says nothing about the number...

I also think that a lot of people have made a pretty compelling case that this could have spread into a major banking crisis. As banks shore up liquidity they would stop making loans. You wouldn't be able to buy a house or a car if you didn't already have cash in hand. Instead of hurting billionair...

It seems the reason is that if we didn't bail out everyone who banked with the risky SVB they would potentially not have been able to pay employees. Why we did not rely on the unemployment system to cover this cannot be known, instead the government needed to step in to give rich people money even t...

Fuck, why? They were literally uninsured deposits.

I just want to see one obscenely rich person lose all their money during my lifetime, is that really too much to ask?
