Jesus fucking god.

Anderson Cooper is talking to Kamala.

After Kamala basically explains some actual achievements of the Biden administration while refusing to address Biden’s incoherence…

Cooper says “Yes but neither candidate explained what you just said so succinctly and quickly.”

This is after Kamala has been stalling for almost an hour. When she comes in screen she’s twirling her hair nervously and does it again, unable to even crack her immensely fake smile a single time.

MSNBC and CNN basically are either in shock or reporting on the entire Democratic party being in shock.

With MSNBC, after most of the panel talks about the possibility of Biden resigning Maddow just got into an argument with some other talking head over whether or not its possible for Biden to bow out, as the other person says yeah it actually is technically possible.

To sum up, Cooper asked Kamala if Joe is like this all the time.

She did not say no.

What an astounding fuck up.

I think it was his third time speaking… he was answering one question on one topic and basically accidentally started talking about something else and then was visibly confused as he realized he was making no sense.

I am legitimately going to need to read a transcript of this to figure out wtf he was talking about half the time.

Like… Biden was just asked if his age would impact his presidency.

His response was to mumble about being the youngest person in politics originally, and uh we are building more chip fab plants, and America is awesome.

Trump is now answering the same question and is actually staying on topic for his entire answer though he’s lying a bit.

And Joe just went back to mumbling about how Trump is actually 6 foot 4, or 6 foot 5, or well anyway he couldnt carry his bag while golfing.

Yeah… Biden is very much coming across as a near senile grandpa and Trump is coming across far more well composed.

Currently we are about 10 minutes into the debate.

Trump is confidently stating lie after lie after lie, basically the condensed version of his recent speeches main lies.

Biden on the other hand is saying things that are far closer to true, but he is mumbling and has already trailed off and forgot what he was talking about.

We are doomed.

Hah!

I have acetometaphine from Walmart.

I was homeless for months after being assaulted in my own apartment, held hostage there for a week, guy trashed the place, I managed to escape.

Without my wallet. Or phone. Or keys.

My credit is now ruined, that guy did 30 days in jail and let right out and went back to terrorizing me.

Couldn’t work, got evicted, barely managed to hop from motel to motel after getting SSDI payments instated while homeless.

What I need is world class physical therapy, what I can afford is uh, maybe when Section 8 kicks in, maybe I will be able to get an apartment and then actually have credit companies believe I am me so that I can then have the luxury of spending 3 years doing nothing but paying off debt.

I’ve found Krita to be a less clumsy way to edit images than GIMP, been using it that way for years.

Yes, GIMP is powerful when used correctly, but Krita is far closer to Photoshop in terms of UI and out of the box features.

Obligatory: Do people not know that Krita exists?

From what I recall, yeah they are basically the least bad.

I was finally able to sleep!

Torn and dislocated tendons suck.

Sorry, I didn’t fully read all of the comments you’d made before, and my inner nerdsplaining came out.

That and I’ve been awake for… 36 hours now? Hooray for incredible pain.

That being said, StarCraft is great!

Hoi4 Black Ice?

While I love the Total War combo of strategic map play + in the field tactical control, I think there are a good deal of map games even more technically complex, but they are incredibly niche.

Starcraft is an RTS with no real grand strategy, I don’t think that counts as a ‘map game’.

This would happen in a just world.

It won’t though.

Reminds me of the recent millionaire guy who got lambasted on YT (i think his actual posts were on TikTok?).

Guys, I am going to lock up my money, my phone have no contacts and go to a new city and start from nothing and earn a million dollars in 30 or 90 days or something.

Whoah big surprise, a few weeks in he has to call the whole thing off for health reasons.

OMG he got robbed? Lost his paper work and thus couldn’t get the right aid? The shelters are full? Sleeping outside in a city is extremely dangerous and unhealthy? Your hygiene suffers? No one talks to you or treats you like a human being?

In a just world we’d put the income tax levels back to around FDR levels and thus be able to actually fund social programs and eliminate a great deal of the wealthy’s massive over representation in politics.

Instead it looks like we will be making a b-line toward theocratic corporatocracy.

Blargh.

Edit: Income and Corporate tax levels.

I so very hope this idiot asshole winds up either jailed and/or has his wealth severely diminished and most of his businesses fail from being unable to repay loans / convicted of fraud.

He’s the closest person on earth to becoming Horatio from the Endless series, yet he’s also basically a badly written Bond villain.

What a pos.

You could probably win, but it would require a 2x4 or bo staff, and at the very least, eye protection, if not basically moderate leather armor.

I used to work at a MSFT facility whose parking garage was built in a reconfigured wetlands.

The geese would just hang out in the parking garage. They would not move for cars, people, anything, and would attack you as you walk by them.

To my knowledge, a decade later, this problem still exists.

They also played the ‘uppity n***r’ angle when he dared to put his feet up on the… whatever the desk in the oval office is named.

Had a whole segment about how disrespectful, unhygenic, unprecedented this was… took a few days for people to find pictures of basically every President in the past 50 years doing the same thing.

Ah those were the days.

Glenn Beck watched some InfoWars streams and thought “I can just tone this down a bit and become famous” and then did that on Fox for a few years… Ann Coulter was still getting air time… Hannity still had Colmes as a punching bag…

Yep, lets have English flavored Kwebblekop in Parliament, that’ll work well.

I have had multiple people in my life tell me that it is irresponsible to not have my phone on, 24/7, in case they need to message me about something.

These are the same people who get angry anytime I message them and they are busy, but also get angry if I am busy and don’t immediately reply to them.

I’ve been woken up so many times at 2 am…

At least in my life, its quite common for people to be hypocritical douchebags.

Anybody want to make a petition to get Kwebblekop’s AI persona on the council?

Due to budget cuts, the most popular inmates will now run the asylum.

3d spatial sound always gets me.

Seems like it literally never ends, claiming to have some kind of new tech that revolutionizes 3d sound for either music or games.

Reality is almost nobody even today releases music in 5.1 or 7.1 format, and 3d spatial sound via software for headphones has existed since like 2002.

The Xbox Game Bar certainly is not new to 11… They just made it more of a system component than a program.

MSFT Accounts aren’t new, OneDrive isn’t new…

Also, after the gigantic kerfuffle caused by TPM requirement for Win 11, they are now apparentlty dropping it as a requirement?

So fucking glad I don’t work for MSFT anymore.
