- Comment on Democrat Mayors Say They Will Use Police To Obstruct Trump's Deportation Of Illegals 2 days ago:
The problem there is, they have no intention of limiting it like that.
It will START that way, then it will become “Well, we can’t separate the family because of one criminal… better deport all of them…”

“Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without separating families?” correspondent Cecilia Vega asked him.
“Of course there is,” Homan answered, “families can be deported together.”
- Comment on Democrat Mayors Say They Will Use Police To Obstruct Trump's Deportation Of Illegals 2 days ago:
It’s a bad look either way. You give in to the knee-jerk deportation movement… and end up paying reparations decades later, or you resist and are breaking federal law.
They’ve set up a lose/lose situation here.
- Comment on Democrat Mayors Say They Will Use Police To Obstruct Trump's Deportation Of Illegals 3 days ago:
But… but… all this time the argument has been “We can’t use the police to enforce federal laws!”
Now they want to use the police to block federal law enforcement? 🤔

- Comment on Did "Party time! Excellent!" come from Wayne's World or Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure? Did one copy the other? 1 week ago:
Really looks like what we have here is a case of the zeitgeist.
Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure: Released to theaters February 17, 1989

Wayne’s World started as an SNL skit, first appeared February 18, 1989.

Although Bill and Ted, as a production, goes back to 1987.
- Comment on Is the Wii good? 2 weeks ago:
The Wii was a console system for people who were unaware of or didn’t like console systems.
So if you’re in that co-hort, or an active Nintendo fan… yeah, it’s a great console.
It says a lot that the best selling titles on it largely came with extra plastic bits that are likely collecting dust now.
Full disclosure, I own a Wii, it’s hooked up and running and everything. Other than occasionally showing off the absolute insanity that is Muscle March, I really can’t think of any game on it I’d still play.

Jesus, if he had only done the allergy thing and not the profanity or wingdings it’s likely nobody would have noticed and people would have died(!)

Doesn’t sound like an account access problem, sounds like a shared password problem.
- Comment on Whatever happened to racing games 4 weeks ago:
I think there’s not a lot of room for competition, it’s either Gran Turismo on PS5, Forza on Xbox or… um… Mario Kart? On Switch?
You could say the same thing about Football games. There’s Madden and NCAA and that’s pretty much it.
The era of having niche games like Metropolis Street Racer, Project Gotham, Speed Devils, or, heck, go back to the OG Playstation with Wipeout, Jet Moto, Destruction Derby… that’s long over.
Which is a shame because I played the HELL out of MSR/PGR.

Tipping point has tipped?
The one I remember scaring the hell out of everyone is the permafrost melt.
Thaw out enough permafrost and it releases enough greenhouse gasses to self perpetuate. No human interaction required.
- Comment on Disability Rights Are Technology Rights | It’s bad enough when DRM infects your video streams, but when it comes for hardware, things get really ugly 5 weeks ago:
So, I have an electric wheelchair… I guess I’m lucky because there’s no DRM. It’s not a “smart” chair. It folds and unfolds itself and has a remote control, that’s about as fancy as it gets.
But just about every piece of it is user replacable.

Of course, Medicare didn’t pay for it either, I bought it out of pocket.

“Corporations and LLCs must, by law, keep their business’s finances separate from the owner’s personal accounts. However, even if an owner has opted for another structure, separating business and personal finances may make it easier to maintain good records.”

Business should pay for that, not the person.

“I got a text message stating my monthly rate will increase $5 per line, that is [a] $50 increase because I have 10 lines.”
The fuck do you have 10 cell phones for?
Even if it’s you + spouse + 8 kids, kids below a certain age don’t need a phone and kids over a certain age should pay for their own damn phone.

- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Destiny is a little different because the vaulting was done by Bungie, not by steam.
So if you’re talking about Mercury, Mars, etc, that was removed from the game ENTIRELY. It’s not a Steam thing.

It could, I mean, we don’t know the politics of the covid dead, but look at the numbers:

Source: usafacts.org/visualizations/…/wisconsin/ - Comment on Can someone give me an overview on the Jill Stein situation? 1 month ago:
Jill Stein is a Green candidate which means she’s going to pull left leaning support away from Kamala Harris.
If she pulls away enough people in a handful of states, she could throw the election to Donald Trump.
2016 is a primary example:
Pennsylvania:

Stein? - 31,072If Clinton had won those three states, Trump would not have been President.
Stein is not the only factor, Clinton had other issues. She badmouthed coal miners which guaranteed a loss in PA and utterly failed to campaign in MI and WI which was not helpful.
But the Clinton fans who can’t accept how deeply, deeply flawed Clinton was as a candidate want to blame Stein…
And Putin. There are issues with Stein getting support from both Republicans and Russia, anything to hurt Democratic candidates.
