I walked into the Best Buy not far from me and got one on the first day. Got it with the Mariokart World and Tears of the Kingdom. Nintendo did some really good work on this and I thoroughly enjoy Mariokart and being able to just drive around the map. It’s strange, but it’s relaxing just driving and not doing one of the races. I am sure I am not the only person who thinks this and enjoys roaming around the map.

Way smarter people have issues attempting to sound dumb. TFG does not have that issue. He was born that way and nothing has changed since then. He c an easily relate to morons and their lack of intellect or ability to critically think because he cannot do that either. It’s like if I attempt to engage Neil deGrasse Tyson in a conversation about the universe. Could I do it and sound as smart as he is? I could not and he’d figure that out pretty quick. However one of his astrophysicist friends wants to do it they’d be on par with each. TFG is just on par intellectually with the dumbest portion of society and that works for him. It would have been nice to outlive the broligarch issues, but I guess dealing with them now might help future generations that come long after we are gone. One can hope at least.

Look they get a lot of expensive gifts like water and sometimes maybe even a free shirt that says “I walked 3000 miles to the United States and all I got was this shirt.”

If there is an uprising at some point of the American populace it won't be because of war (Our military is not being defeated in any conventional warfare even with TFG at the controls.) or because people suddenly decided that we should be kind to immigrants. It will be part of the same reason Mussolini was sent packing and that's when the population starts to not have access to the food it needs just to survive. That could be a lengthy wait even with millions of people eventually being sent out of the US who prop up so much of the harvesting of fruits and vegetables we eat daily. When that happens, you'll see a collapse and all you can hope for is a new man or woman in power that brings democracy back. It's easy to say these things, but how each country handles a situation like this is different. Right now we're handling it, to be kind, poorly. I don't foresee a civil war, but food scarcity is as big a motivating factor for regime overthrows as one that has awful human rights abuses. It took Italy 20 years, a dwindling food supply and Allied bombing raids to get Il Duce kicked to the curb. We start to see millions of hungry Americans that aren't used to 3rd World food conditions and all bets are off on what they do to rectify a lack of food.

The last part is why I feel we are more rooted in fascist Italy than Nazi Germany. We just have an actual military and industrial base that Italy never had.

I can't listen to him talk. You might as well put your fingernails on a chalkboard.

Good movie. I'm there for the dinosaurs because I loved reading about them as a kid. Seeing them on screen is always cool. Really good movie to take your family to go see. I used to work at a place where Scarlett was a regular with her kids on the weekends. By all accounts she's really nice and I am glad to see her doing well. She was the star of my favorite movie ever in Jojo Rabbit. She's quite the cool actress.

Well of course there will be meddling. We are dealing with an openly fascist regime that is trying to squash anything and anyone who is against them. The younger Democrats are ready to take this stuff on, but the old guard that is all about decorum and making sure it's business as usual is standing in their way. The DNC is like a football team still running the option while everyone else is running the spread. It doesn't matter that option football is a dinosaur offense to them. They do what they've always done because it's what they know. Bernie is the only elder statesman that wants to push things forward. I really believe that the alienation of the younger Democrats will lead to a split in the party at some point because what is happening now is not sustainable when one party is openly doing evil things to a significant portion of our population with little pushback at the national level.

I think that if we are still around in 25 years we will finally see a 3rd party, but it will be the young Democrats splitting off to form their own party. The national Democrats are a rudderless ship content to go quietly into the night. More AOC's and Jasmine Crockett firebrands need to emerge and less of the Schumer and Jeffries type of politicians who are abject cowards shirking their responsibility to stand up to the fascists destroying America.
-
This stuff is just wild to see happening. It's not that it's unexpected considering the trajectory we have been, but man this is speeding up my finding a new country to call home. We get one life and that life goes by so quickly and we have millions of people that willingly waste their one life on being cruel.

What a coward. That’s a guy who needs a shovel to the face. What a state of affairs we have in America. That recording should get him removed from office, but the cult will cheer him on for acting like a child.

NBA Offseason Thread 2025 - Fuck OKC
UpperWestside replied to Message Board User's topic in Basketball
If I look at his stats from his Phoenix days he looks like a good player. Watching him play though you see a guy who almost never gives maximum effort. He does just enough to get paid really well to play basketball for a living. I don’t really fault a guy for not loving his profession. If someone wants to pay you millions to play a sport you may not really enjoy you either take the money and act like Ayton does or you retire and get no more paydays. Again I am fine with signing him because the cost is minimal. 8 million is nothing. He plays well then that’s a bonus. If he plays average to mediocre then he’s still better than the extremely low bar set by Hayes. -

Well Ayton is better than Hayes so he’s got that going for him. Then again almost every center in the league is better than Hayes. If he’s motivated and not acting like a child I’m okay with Ayton. Perhaps Luka can help resurrect his career. Not a big investment made in him so this is fine. -

Nancy Mace: Sexual assault survivor or cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs?
UpperWestside replied to C-Man's topic in Cloak Room
Screw her. There are actual women out there suffering, but this clown is not one of them. Garbage human being who deserves to be living in a dumpster in the South Bronx. When all else fails to get attention she goes right back to the old reliable “let’s hate anyone that’s brown and Arab.” She deserves to be dropped out of a plane into the Gobi Desert. I do not believe one word of her accusations. I hope her every waking moment is filled with terror and horror and that she never, ever finds any peace in this life or the 7th circle of hell waiting for her. Her mortal coil can’t release her soon enough.
