lmao I am underestimating no one. Guys... touch some grass.

Musks's technical knowledge is probably pretty mid. Musk sure as hell isn't designing the rockets.

Acknowledging that Musk isn't an idiot in no way devalues the work of the many, many intelligent people around him. Why you'd think that I'm taking anything away from anyone else is baffling. Literally baffling. How did you come to that conclusion?

The cease fire was primarily Biden's victory although really the war had reached a stage where there was a high chance it would have emerged without pressure.

The consistent pressure by the Biden administration also demonstrably forced Israel to show some restraint.

Estimates suggest roughly 50,000 Gazans died. An absolute tragedy but if Trump were in charge, I'd bet that it'll be much higher.

lmao I would absolutely watch a satire like this.

Does anyone know if any series ever satired itself? Especially with the same actors?

Europe's best bet IMO is to keep Ukraine in the fight so long as they want to continue. This way, Russia can't even think about attacking elsewhere. With the bought time, Europe also needs to beef up their own defenses.

It saddens me to say as an American, but the USA is no longer a reliable partner. And those American military bases on European soil would make me very nervous. They were historically used to protect Europe but could also be used to conquer, assuming the military backs Trump and attacks if ordered.

Biden was no doubt in Israel's camp. However, he was still a moderate in that camp pushing for restrain, humanitarian aid, etc.

Trump has essentially been encouraging Bibi to take off the gloves and pound Gaza.

I never played it but the Thomas the Train mod for skyrim is hilarious.

I think the worry is that pushing out so many remasters depletes resources that could be used to make other games.

Not actually sure if that's true, tbh. I think remasters are often handled by different companies/studios/teams rather than the teams working on all new projects. Although if Sony is tight on cash, funding both teams at once could prove really difficult.

Oh I'm quite confident that they and their monied backers are very interested in the plight of the farmers. When those farmers get knocked out of the market, the big agri corps can buy farms for pennies on the dollar.

I'd be shocked if he's actually in good enough physical health to run again.

Sadly, I think Vance and his ilk might actually be a graver threat and Trump leaving the picture affords them an opportunity to rise up. The corporate cyberpunk dystopias they're dreaming of are terrifying.

Evidence? Biden was a consistent albeit not forceful voice calling for restraint.

I really hope moderates and parties on the left wake up and realize they could have a Trump of their own if they're not appealing to their population.

I'm generally pro migration/pro refugee and am quite sympathetic. But the issues with assimilation, not really vetting refugees, etc. has clearly alienated voters across Europe. Ditto for other wedge issues.

If moderates and those on the left continue with their status quos, high risk they'll end up pushed from power.

Evidence he bought his way in?

Sure, there are a lot of dumb people at those companies. But that's not the point. Failures don't prove that the leadership or specific individuals are dumb. Plenty of smart people have failed.

But have fun inadvertently supporting Musk!
