Pervert :)

Yeah I dunno. Fascism is kinda a cultural problem, it won’t go away just cos the leaders go away. The leaders are the ones with the money, they can find a front. Someone obedient and Hollywood famous would be ideal for them. Trump has shown them that it’s doable. It’s not just a problem in America, the right is everywhere. I feel like the right is less vulnerable to sectarianism than the left and not just cos they’re dumber

I’m gonna try to work though your comment in the order you wrote it. I agree with the first bit. About China and Russia taking the piss… Though I’m not sure about China, they might play the long game. I think Taiwan would be tricky in lots of ways. I think China won’t move on Taiwan until the rest of the world is looking elsewhere. I don’t think Russia will try to nuke Europe or Ukraine in the next few years. But I could be wrong, Russia isn’t something I’d want to bet on either way. They’re certainly snidey and aggressive. Yeah, Israel and Iran is a fuckin dangerous hotspot. Don’t like that at all. North Korea, I dunno I would have said a year ago that they all gob and no knob, but I don’t like how they getting snuggly with Russia. NK soldiers are going to Ukraine if they not already there. Hopefully India and Pakistan can chill the fuck out about Kashmir. But I don’t know how close to boiling point they are. Yeah, I’m not American but the impression I get from social media and mates there is that you’re about right, a whole proportion of the population is kinda fucky. And another trump presidency could be extremely harmful. And trump is a symptom of a problem with America, he could croak tomorrow and the danger would remain - because of that third of the USA population you referred to.

Plus there’s non-state actors to worry about.

Yeah we already know he thinks nukes are not for deterrence, they’re for using. The fucker suggested using one on bad weather. It’s a real concern. Thing is, it’s trump we gotta worry about right now, but if he doesn’t get elected the right wing will find themselves another trump and that one will probably be smarter. Would be hard to be dumber. Scary shit.

Oh yeah, I forgot he believes people have a lifetime charge that will be depleted by exercise.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he was exhausted, this campaign is probably the most work he’s done in his life. He’s old, he’s clearly in decline, and although he’s fueled by greed and spite he may be becoming concerned that he’s not winning as clearly as he’d like.

Just looked it up. Yeah Tim Walz speaks really effectively.

Why? There’s not a world war. Unless he’s planning for one.

Yeah, I was an early adoptor, had a phone with a flip down bit and an aerial to pull up. I thought it was cool as fuck but in retrospect it was probably big enough to fight off a bear with.

Yeah same. I got a steam deck maybe six months ago, my backlog is so big I’ve only recently finished bioshock. Seems like a nifty little device and it seems to handle contemporary stuff okay too.

Hillary Clinton being picked up and thrown in a car by one of her bodyguards when she seemed a little faint. Much of the internet concurred “The shoe come off - she dead.”

Haven’t seen any shoes coming off yet, there’s still time though.

I think before then he had a good PR team. That was the moment when he thought ‘What am I paying these guys for, I could do this just fine myself.’

What about basic and assembly? Even Pascal?

Yeah I’ve not done any coding in a while.

Yeah well my steam deck will survive 2025 unless I break it. It’s a proper nifty little machine, so glad I bought it. I’ve not done any gaming since i had a PS2 so there’s loads of games to catch up on. Recently finished bioshock, wow. I’ve got a long list of older games, but I’ve tried a couple of newer things. It plays doom 2016 just fine, same with deathloop and beam ng drive

Tbh the physics makes crashes pretty fun. I do a lot of driving for my job and try to be a responsible, careful driver. So it’s nice to fire up the steam deck sometimes and drive like a complete wanker!

Well yeah. Remember the Jan 6 shit. That was genuinely scary. They can do much worse than bomb threats. America is fucked and I don’t know how you fix this.

Oh yeah, I’d forgotten about how Trudeau turned that shit around on trump. Class.

Also, now he’s looking less and less like the winner he pretended to be, they’re caught up in the sunk cost fallacy.

I don’t think he has crushes, I think he has things he wants - and for him some of those ‘things’ are women. At least he didn’t try to grab her by the pussy. He’s such a malignant little fuck.
