I would try continuing what collection of games I’ve tried to build, through Steam but it wasn’t the same. Nowadays, the used video games market has turned into just a platform full of resellers, pawn brokers and stingy greedy collectors.

Yeah...

It's a "hobby" which is buying things that aren't made anymore.

How was it going to end any other way?

Lots of people wants to buy a few old things. The people who pay the most get it, and they won't sell for less than they bought, so prices keep going up until there's no supply and rich bored people just keep trading back and forth as investment.

I'm pretty sure it's a bot....

There's a lot of posts here where they're completely missing a joke and saying it's a facepalm.

It probably just pulls whatever is posted to reddit (likely by a bot too) and posts it here. I struggle to believe a real life human would think this is a mistake and not a funny headline for engagement.

I grew up on a tobacco farm, shit ton of manual labor, and the extended families all helped each other

A cousin had a jacked up truck (obviously we're all hillbillies).

But he lifted it so much, it couldn't hitch to a trailer, and only one of the wagons. He took a functional truck and made it almost impossible to actually use it for anything.

I've been shitting on all the idiots driving lifted trucks ever since. I have zero idea why so many guys live in cities and work desk jobs but drive a giant truck for their commute. And there is an insane amount of them at my current job.

My point is, even in rural areas this shit is completely useless. The only reason anyone buys them is they're insecure in their own masculinity. They need a big truck to feel like a big boy

You're acting like that was her personal decision and not an order she had to follow rather than her personal view

Could she have resigned instead?

Sure. And just like when people did it in the trump admin, the people you disagree with would just appoint someone who agrees with them.

Gaza is one of the most densely populated areas on the planet....

There's no where anyone can be that doesn't have a shit ton of civilians around, and due to the treatment of people who live in Gaza by Israel.... A lot of people in Gaza are children.

That's the whole reason the international community has been saying for almost a year you can't just flatten everything.

But they keep doing it. Because Israel sees civilian deaths in Gaza as a feature, not a bug.

It's great Walz is exceeding standards, it sucks that they're this low.

And I'm pretty sure the plural for Walz isn't "Walzes"

I mean. It's going to every night, and I'd be real surprised if the RNC ever had more viewers....

Democrats are the majority of voters, Republicans live in the areas with the majority of empty land.

Unfortunately we dont live in a straight democracy

it was a couple assholes in the crowd.

Pretty clear I'm not defending them ..

But the headline makes it seem like a violent assault, and frankly I don't think I ever want to see your comments anymore already

[–] [email protected] 14 points 14 hours ago (5 children)

Because the headline sounds like the DNC did something and your summary clarifies it was a couple assholes in the crowd.

Then the video shows the hits, and the top of those signs are flexible as hell. She doesn't even turn around or seem like it registers.

I'm pro Gaza as fuck, but you said you wanted to know why this is being down voted.

It's because even people that agree with you that stopping the genocide is important can see this is overblown.

For a full on embargo?

Almost definitely not

But they can limit it to just missile defense and such.

That's not a full weapon embargo, but it's an embargo on the worst items and frankly if they do t get that shit from us, their only option is China, and China would know that and charge them out the ass for anything. Which means they get less than everything.

Shit is rarely black or white. But with Biden they had a blank check, anything they wanted and Biden went around Congress for an arm's "sale" already. Which frankly is a straight up war crime and violates US and international law, but it looks like some people are above the law despite what Biden said.

Right...

I was taking about why that is happening, and you disagreed and then said it did happen?
