Yep. Not a huge fan given I remember what led to the ill advised Iraq invasion. I vote mostly on domestic policy, though, so as it stands it's not a deal breaker (and after Ukraine I'm slightly more hawkish myself, but only slight).

She basically 'both sides' that issue, which I guess is about as good as you're going to get from someone wanting to win. To be fair, Hamas does suck, and so does the situation in Gaza, and if you stop there (as undecided voters do) then that message makes sense.

Too bad when you dig just a bit deeper, it's quite hard to side with Israel, both in numbers dead and historical bullshit they've pulled. Unfortunate I don't think you'll change Dem messaging unless randos in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, etc, are willing to learn more and change their stance. That's who that language is for.

But these are people who are undecided, they're likely the least informed people on the planet earth, and that includes people in comas.

I get the sense that hawkish statement is more in regards to Russia than anything. I know Iran and N. Korea are up there, but when your old arch nemesis is invading neighbors, even Dems go hawkish.

At the very least it wasn't televised. ;)

Agreed. Watched one of the feeds without the ads / pundents and it reminded me of maybe an awards show or something, like Oscars but like, on a bad year. Woodstock? Nah.

I know this is a shitpost but I was oddly proud while playing GTA5 as a Californian. The satire was so fucking spot on but I adore Franklin and live more or less in the area he lived (so much so the VA for Lamar signed a Lamar headshot for a deli I go to). It sucks for a ton of reasons but the people are genuine.

I work in Brentwood too, which is more or less where Michael lives. I hate those pricks and it might as well be a documentary. I have family up in Fresno, and that's more or less where Trevor lives. We don't visit certain cousins cause of meth, and it also sucks. Hell, I even know a yoga instructor who might as well say we must breathe through our anoose.

But the thing is? They satirized my home, and did it with so much love and care that I know their writers have lived here enough. And it is just satire. There's a lot more to these places than what you see in the game, haha (except Brentwood, fuck those guys).

I fucking swear and make up words too much to be called an AI online, but my sixth and seventh fingers on my abnormally twisted right hand have made it hard to avoid such accusations when seen in person.

I think it peaked at 2 but my memory is foggy. It's still no LoZ OoT

If I'm being honest I have no idea when or how they got it but I think it was a once only collab. Maybe someone else knows.

I think I only really want to live next to the Harris and Emhoff family, but that's a Californian bias. I'm not much of a Midwest kinda guy, and the other two are... no.

Oh man does he look like the murderer in a movie based on a Stephen King novel.

My guilty pleasure: 4k TV, 4080 gpu, and I'm playing mother fuckin' Super Smash Bros Melee.
