Oh, I wouldn’t be so sure. Dems will probably take the House, but not the Senate.
I anticipate a few impeachment attempts that go nowhere. Then Trump will conquer Cuba for giggles. Then things will flip a bit more, and a Republican president will “declare war” on China for who knows why. Then none of this will matter.
I think you’ve got a case of correlation not causation here.
One big reason the Roman army turned stupider is because the smart ones all died in the endless civil wars. The 3rd century was not a peaceful time.
More wealth extraction means more profits!
I’ve been enjoying the advances in escape room games. mc2games makes some good ones.
The HL2 VR mods are pretty good if you have a headset. Reloading a gun with your physical hands is pretty immersive.
There’s been a silent rise in mystery-themed (Ace Attorney adjacent) games in the East recently. The mysteries get better and better.
Russian games have been innovating a bit to attract Western customers. “No I’m not Human” is one of those. There are also some Russian visual novels that are good thrillers.
Of the games China makes that aren’t gachaslop, some have tried to innovate. This one syncs what the character doing with real world time. So if it would take 10 minutes for a character to do something, it would take 10 actual minutes. The game doesn’t even have to be on during those 10 minutes, so it can be something where you check in every now and then.
Here is a choice list of Democrats that voted for war with Iran:
I propose having Mike Pence win the Democratic primary. He has all the demographic stuff covered, and the story is perfect: Once aligned with the GOP, he broke away and now sides with the Democrats to seize the Presidency from Trump. The Blue No Matter Who people will sail Pence through the primary and the general. It’s the perfect plan!
Aha! I’ve got it! The US is performing a humanitarian operation where they aid Iran with reducing their CO2 emissions.
Ah, yes. I shall provide a justification for the war on Trump’s behalf, as a devout follower of Vengeful Christ and Merciless Mary.
You see, after conquering the Roman Empire, Jesus viewed the Persians as enemies of God Himself. Those who follow Zoroastrianism do not follow God. It is for this reason Jesus sought revenge against the Persians for their lack of faith, and instituted pogroms to remove any of Persian descent from the Empire. Regrettably, Jesus was unable to complete His campaign against the Persians before his untimely death.
What Trump thought of as a “feeling” was actually an order from Vengeful Christ, to finish what He started. Jesus considers the existence of Iran to be an affront to His eternal glory, and the region must be subjugated for Jesus’ return.
It’s times like these I wish California would utilize the Pretender System to elect a governor. It would solve so many problems.
Phishing for marks, friend?
Ah, yes, I remember this part of the Bible. If I remember correctly, the Romans laughed when Jesus promised revenge. And then He jumped off the cross and killed every single person at Golgotha without mercy. And then He marched on Rome and decapitated Emperor Tiberius with His own hands for attempting to stop Jesus. They don’t call Him “Vengeful Christ” for nothing.
It stands to reason, then, that the Republicans must exact revenge, as Jesus would’ve done.
And I voted third party! Don’t forget that piece of important context.
Looks like Trump has this to say on how he plans to fix all of this:
Effective IMMEDIATELY, I have ordered the United States Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to provide, at a very reasonable price, political risk insurance and guarantees for the Financial Security of ALL Maritime Trade, especially Energy, traveling through the Gulf. This will be available to all Shipping Lines. If necessary, the United States Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, as soon as possible. No matter what, the United States will ensure the FREE FLOW of ENERGY to the WORLD. The United States’ ECONOMIC and MILITARY MIGHT is the GREATEST ON EARTH — More actions to come. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Which I do if there is no third party candidate available.
If likeliness of victory mattered, absolutely no one would vote Democrat in Oklahoma.

The United States Munitions Stockpiles have, at the medium and upper medium grade, never been higher or better - As was stated to me today, we have a virtually unlimited supply of these weapons. Wars can be fought “forever,” and very successfully, using just these supplies (which are better than other countries finest arms!). At the highest end, we have a good supply, but are not where we want to be. Much additional high grade weaponry is stored for us in outlying countries. Sleepy Joe Biden spent all of his time, and our Country’s money, GIVING everything to P.T. Barnum (Zelenskyy!) of Ukraine - Hundreds of Billions of Dollars worth - And, while he gave so much of the super high end away (FREE!), he didn’t bother to replace it. Fortunately, I rebuilt the military in my first term, and continue to do so. The United States is stocked, and ready to WIN, BIG!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
In my point of view, the people who can’t keep their eyes on the road are evil!
And let that brake checker get away with it? I made sure to give him an earful.
Steam fixes a lot of that with Proton.
The stuff you can’t really do on Linux is anything with Kernel Anti-Cheat, which you don’t want infesting your device anyways.
