The next guy is gonna be all like “here’s a RTX 4050. It’s the greatest graphics card ever! You’ll be able to play at 4k with raytracing at amazing fps. You’ll be able to create AI models like a pro, faster than anyone else. Don’t worry about the price, we’ll put it on credit (for $50,000 over the next 20 years-) it’ll be cheap and amazing! Trust me, only I can save your build.”

Clinical trials will still happen for approvals in other countries, even if the FDA collapses.

There’s a pendulum, unfortunately it swung just a hair into blue while the country was in the middle of the second depression / first real global pandemic of the 21st century. The US may have recovered better than almost all countries on earth, but because it’s not better than when obama handed it off to dumpy, it’s the democrats fault.

That’s right. It’s the natural order of things that the many live in service to the few. They were born superior after all and deserve our service. We should fight and die for them too whenever they wish to use us to acquire more resources. We should worship those that sacrifice for our masters and encourage them with extra resources so they can breed more children to fight for our masters.

This could happen without meaning to. Just takes a medical procedure that puts biden under and temporarily you have 47th president kamala until he wakes back up… assuming they go through the whole transfer of power procedure for it.

Never know if he’s been putting off a procedure for a condition until after the election. Very plausible though for someone over 80.

You don’t really need that if you have access to money. You just get a real doctor, not one of the quacks that you drag out for political theater to appease the ignorant conspiracy loving base.

US drugs unsafe? import them from europe or directly from the pharmaceutical company that makes them.

The only people who get fucked by these decisions are the “normal” people without great wealth or connections.

This is the goal. Remove health insurance. Only healthy manual laborers are wanted because those are the ones who can work for their masters. If they aren’t working, they don’t deserve to live. If they get sick or are unwell, they can’t work and thus are of no value. They only live by the grace of the masters after all.

It’ll swing back the other way, and once everything is stripped away we’ll be positioned to have a major change. That’s all I can hope for.

Unless elections are suspended, there’s absolutely no way such major changes where EVERYONE but the richest of the rich lose where the conservatives will stay in power. If they actually screw the idiots and take things away that are obvious then they will be so upset they won’t vote R quite so eagerly.

Imo the two worst things that the DNC has done was shutting out Bernie in place of Hillary, and then running fucking biden against dumpy. If they had put Bernie in 2016 then Trump would have lost hard. If they had offered up fresh blood with new ideas instead of an octogenarian clinging to the billionaire establishment with moderate conservative policy then they likely would have won this time.

Biden came in pretending to be not trump, but his stance on immigration, tariffs and many other topics are so disgusting it’s hard to see him (or his replacement) as anything other than a vote for the status quo… and the status quo right now is miserable.

They don’t care to understand the details or the nuance. They don’t need to. The team they are cheering on has told them what to do and they enjoy obeying their masters.

I hate that i’m saying this, but Canada or somewhere in the EU are probably your best bets. If Project 2025 goes according to plan we’re going to see a great upheaval come Q1 2025 that probably clusterfucks everything.

Long term with christian school mandates via defunding education and funding vouchers will further create a hostile nation for anyone who does not conform to a heterosexual white nationalist christian identity.

All republicans who refused to fall in line with MAGAtism at pretty much all levels of public representation have been beyond destroyed politically.

Look at all of trumps “enemies” and those he calls “traitors” to see the ones eliminated based on his word.

Until there is a total of 60 votes one way or another, both sides can effectively veto bills forever with a filibuster in the senate. Still, in the absence of said filibuster it’s nice to be able to pass legislation through the senate.

Good to see the needle moving from the insanity that has been the last ~9 years of politics but there is so much foundational damage that simply won’t build any bridges to bring the country back to it’s center. Maybe if we’re lucky it will lessen the extremist rhetoric especially after trump is out of the running… but i’m not holding my breath.

The unstoppable toddler, coming to an imax near you.

I thought it looked a little like the hallways in the W Barcelona. Couldn’t be further off lol.

I swear to christ these people are the dumbest motherfuckers, and nearly half the country is on their side.

The fact that so many idiots are falling in line with ignorant bullshit is just proof of how political advertising is insanely effective. The stance against vaccines is not a medical one - there is really zero debate there - it’s a political one based on feelings, surely a great way to handle medical conditions if you’re stupid, ignorant and incapable of even the most basic of critical thinking.

I would just use my desktop for that use case. There’s still a small minority of games that just don’t work via proton but it’s really a minority.

I’ve also seen a handful of games with linux builds that just don’t run properly because they update the game but don’t do enough QA to the linux build or simply don’t put resources towards linux issues to the same degree that windows gets.

A handful of games need slight nudges one way or another but overwhelmingly it just works. Way better than it was just a few years ago.

Must be some real easy cheats for apex on linux.
