Well that’s a shit way to put it.

Biden was an ok choice and he was still polling strong. Him deciding to abstain from the final run doesn’t mean he was a bad choice, not does it make any of your analysis correct.

Also: You’re still a doomsaying asshole. Not once did you make a reasonable argument supported by data other than your feelings but you continued to push out “If we keep behind a president who has arguably been extremely effective at doing shit, we’re handing the election to the guys who eat horse paste and spent double Bidens addition to the deficit for tax breaks while screaming about fiscal responsibility… because he’s a couple years older than the other guy and seems like he’s old instead of spouting gibberish and easily proven lies”.

With Kamala now the democratic nominee?

I’m not a big fan of former law enforcement (prosecutor at least) being in charge but everything else she’s done seems to at least suggest that she takes her jobs seriously along with the responsibility they entail.

I’m waiting to see who the VP is before I get too gung ho, but so far I’m pretty on board.

I don’t know exactly why Biden waited so long to decide not to run again but I am happy he provided a good bit of shielding and wasted a ton of the GOP’s money on attack ads that can almost be mirrored for free against their nominee.

I think we’re gonna see some really ugly rhetoric from the right over her being the nominee and that doesn’t make me jazzed. I worry that it will spark another rise in anti immigrant/minority rhetoric and violence like the BS about COVID did, and I work in and among minority groups so I worry what it will do to their outlooks on their future and how they feel about the country they are a part of.

Any specific aspect you want to ask me about or is that just a generic response request?

Yeah but you could say the same about a lot of people. Doesn’t mean it’s a “good movie” so much as a lot of people want to see that person in a thing and would pay regardless of what the thing is.

That’s the attitude that gives us the race to the bottom in creative work

Well, yeah. But that’s an exception to the rule not the rule itself.

I mean, it probably will be cheaper while also being a logical move for what could be a dope passion project.

Good movies don’t need big name actors to be good, they need a good story, good world, and a cast that can pull off the immersion with a director that knows how to harness it all together. Big name actors are just a draw and I would argue a lot of the time they don’t help so much as ruin immersion a bit.

Like in nineteen ninety-eight when the undertaker threw mankind off the top of hell in a cell.

I thought that was the way for them to say it was more of a passion project than a full AAA film. Like, when directors know the material and do a trial run of what their view is to test the waters for a massive sequel.

Also probably cheaper.

Oh shit, didn’t know it was on switch. Is there a digital only copy or do you need the game cart?

Texas is real id compliant. Has been for like seven years iirc

Didn’t Blizzard fire all of the community discussion moderators?

I’ll grab early access for either a new studio or a studio with a history of taking their early access to full completion so that there can be more options, but not for IP that’s in the hands of mega studios/ones with a long history or ones with a history of giving up on previous early access projects.

I got Valheim, Rust, and Raft all early access and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed them as well as seeing how they have been developed since I don’t know much about game dev and it’s interesting to me. Kinda like watching plants grow.

Seems like it could be that they didn’t fix any of that and then decided to charge at least twice for the same experience. If it’s not expensive people will accept flaws, but if they have glaring flaws and decide to increase the cost that’ll piss people off. Or I could be wrong, I don’t know what every gamer that gives it a bad review is thinking unlike your illustrious self.

Only if you got the right vaccine

And gyms could still be built for student use using significantly less leeching on the students. I know that because my university had quality gyms and no sports teams outside of intramural.

I get you but frats are not a great comparison considering they don’t suck funding out of schools in exchange for … entertainment you have to pay a second time for.

It might taste bad for you but how about the students in underfunded programs due to the leeching of athletics? They paid to go to a place of learning and there are only so many seats, which are being reduced to fund… a useless activity. Before you jump on the well rounded individual thing, intramural sports are what most students would have access to and do not require the massive amount of spending that collegiate sports require so it’s not a benefit for the rest of the student population. Why should they be required to hold their tongue because it gives you a bad taste?

Where does it say any of that?

Did you see the amount A&M gave their last coach to GTFO for being bad?

If there’s an arms race for athletes and the school sports programs pay their tuition through athletic scholarships, then that isn’t free money for the school. It’s allocated out of an already existing school budget that constantly needs to grow and take from other school expenses to afford elite athletes. The sports teams pay rent to the school out of the same existing budget which is part of the school funding so again, it’s money the school already has that has to allocated for upkeep of their facilities. Just like the regular students pay upkeep for the engineering facility, the administration buildings, and the other facilities with their non-scholarship money (meaning it actually came from an external source instead of the school subsidizing).

I’m not sure if I remember correctly but don’t most athletic programs not pay for themselves? Don’t they require a portion of the tuition from non athletics students to continue functioning and in that case wouldn’t it mean that there is in fact less education happening due to the athletic program?
