Because of fucking course.
Like I said just now on the Odyssey thread that it included a line, pretty vague about how the age of the civ was collapsing and was 'bronze'.

Nobody now even heard of that at all. I hope it'll make some viewers look into history. It's shocking, I've been in bit of an irl/online bubble I think of educated directly or just on their own with intellectual curiosity enough to to be 'smart'. B+ type 85% types.

Most people, even whites that could do better, are 25% dumbasses. Hasan viewers and democrats. It's a wake up call. Watters used to go around and ask the average 'how many senators are in the US' and they' have no idea. You can ask the average citizen how many states there are or what the 13 stripes on the flag mean, 90% won't know.

And then you got the illegals which they love.
 
Fatass neighbor woman was really proud of being a member of something called Rosie's "Chub Club" back when she had a talk show. She'd blab to anyone and everyone, young or old, about the Chub Club, and tried to recruit the entire neighborhood into Rosie's fat fuck cult of sadness, self delusion, and failure.
You should have joined, got them all drunk on white claws, impregnate all them, then trained all your fat bastard children to be a clan of hefty sumo-style MMA fighters and future politicians, trained to kill leftists.
 
The anti–data center propaganda is coming directly from the CCP.
Every single project is corrupt and shitty in the specific ways the CCP isn't campaigning against. If they truly were heckin wholesome projects, they would be able to stand up to the simple scrutiny of the typical approvals/permitting process instead of constantly going behind the backs of local communities.
 
So between Greer v. Moon invoking time travel, and this, where contracts aren't contracts, what you're telling me is I should avoid doing business anywhere in the 10th circuit. Is there something in the water there, or has all the weed from Colorado made everyone stupid?


I'm less inclined to hold voting for Obama against someone in all cases. After 8 years of age peers and older friends being deployed to the sandbox to die in unproductive wars, and an economy actively crashing because a housing bubble was bursting, people wanted something different than the neocons who had only made things worse, not better. Obama sold Hope and Change, which was exactly the right thing to target in that zeitgeist. People otherwise not too keen on leftest policies lapped up the message of Hope and Change, particularly younger millennials just recently coming of age to vote, like our Deer Sneeder.

I voted for Obama. Many of my friends voted for Obama. However unlike others, I am willing to admit that I got swindled, and that voting for Obama was a naive and stupid thing to do.
Except he voted for Obama's 2nd term in 2012.

Fatties stink. Universally. My nipples are pink, so I simply cannot tolerate the stink. You darkies can have the fat white bitches. We don't want them.

I honestly do not understand how black people tolerate such foul odors, constantly. You'd think with those noses....
 
that was such a weird game they spend the whole game making light of nutty christian doomsday prepper except the twist is that.... the nutty christian doomsday preppers were right the whole time and you, the player, got everyone killed except yourself and the "crazy" preacher.

The soundtrack backfired too. all the cult's tracks are all bangers.
Ubisoft truly sucks at "surprise twists" and "clever easter eggs." What makes Far Cry 5 even worse is that in addition to what you describe (the cult was right in the end, and the "ironic" soundtrack was substantially better than the "real" one), it had an early-game easter egg non-standard hidden ending that mimics what Far Cry 4 did.

In the prologue when you're walking into the cult's compound to arrest Joseph Seed, you have the option to not arrest him. You exercise that option by simply not pressing the obvious "Press X to play game" prompt (i.e. when given the action prompt to physically arrest him, just wait instead of actually doing it). Eventually the prompt times out and your fellow officers begrudgingly "agree" with your decision not to arrest him because "it's too risky." The cult makes grumpy noises but allows everyone to leave alive. You return to the helicopter and leave the compound. You and your fellow officers return to base alive and unharmed. Game over. Presumably the nukes go off shortly thereafter.

That is to say, given the "twist ending" of the full game's story, choosing not to play the fucking game would be the morally correct choice, as far fewer people would die in the valley (at your hands or that of the cult's). Remember, as the sequel/spin-off New Dawn points out, the valley itself was spared a nuclear strike, so people who survived the events of Far Cry 5 also likely survived the nukes falling.

Far Cry 4's easter egg ending was similarly unintentionally based. For those unaware, the setup is you're playing a character seeking to return his mother's ashes to a fictional totalitarian nation named Kyrat to lay them to rest alongside her daughter (your sister)'s urn. Kyrat is experiencing what amounts to a civil war, with a militia named The Golden Path engaging in armed conflict against Kyrat's dictator Pagan Min and his demonstrably brutal government with the goal of deposing him and returning the nation to its people. The intro has you listening to a voicemail from the US State Department advising you not to go, and shows you on a rickety old bus crossing the border into Kyrat being escorted by two guides. You're given a fake passport (complete with cash bribe) to hand any guards if stopped.

Naturally, the bus is stopped, your guides are pulled off the bus first, act cagey and raise the guards' suspicions, and all hell breaks loose with several passengers being shot and killed. A helicopter arrives as the gunfire erupts and Pagan Min himself, dressed in hot pink and acting as faggy as possible (in an ironic twist, he's revealed to be completely and unrelentingly straight, and acts flamboyantly on purpose to throw off his enemies), he kills the guard who started shooting first (turns out he was ordered to "stop" the bus, not "shoot" the bus, whoops), is pleasantly surprised to learn you're still alive, apologizes to you for the incident and takes you by helicopter to his compound.

When the sandbag is pulled off your head, you find yourself seated at a fancy dinner table with an opulent meal spread before you. Opposite your seat at the other end of the table is Pagan Min. To your left is his right-hand man (an American torturer who talks too fucking much). To your right is the surviving guide from the bus trying to smuggle you into the country. In the center of the table is the urn with your mother's ashes. Pagan Min talks shit for a couple minutes (mostly trying to figure out if you're Golden Path and, once he realizes you're not, he tries to find out if you even know who he or anyone else in the country even is), then discovers your helpful guide managed to smuggle his cell phone with him and has signaled for help.

The whole time, he never actually threatens you specifically, though the prologue makes it absolutely clear he's just as nasty as his reputation suggests, he's perfectly willing to get his hands dirty (and bloody), and is all too happy to kill anybody who pisses him off. But he seems intimately familiar with you (he says he "would recognize those eyes anywhere", immediately hinting he knew your parents) and shows (in the standard Seemingly Insane Dictator™ way) unwavering courtesy and hospitality to you.

After a bit of flexing (including stabbing the guide's hand to get the phone from him) and taunting, he orders the guide taken for immediate interrogation, and goes along with his right-hand man to supervise, leaving you alone in the dining room for awhile. You're encouraged by the story and game's UI to explore Pagan Min's compound a bit. If you follow the prompts, you eventually find the basement and witness the guide's torture at the interrogator's hands. After a couple minutes of that, you're led by radio and the tutorial UI out a side door to waiting Golden Path members there to rescue you and your guides, and you make a daring escape out of the compound and into the jungle.

But just like in Far Cry 5's prologue, you don't actually have to do anything special when Pagan Min leaves you alone in the dining room to go torture the guide. You can just stay in the dining room and look at stuff. There's all sorts of decorations and items to inspect, notes to read, etc. and there's clearly no real rush to leave, just a UI prompt gently nudging you towards the door downstairs and a reliance on the player's general tendency to want to "get a move on."

If you stay in the dining room though (you can look at stuff all you like, just don't go downstairs), after about 15 minutes Pagan Min comes back upstairs, apologizes profusely to you for the awkward interruption, and you have dinner as originally planned. Then he takes you to his helicopter, and literally has you both flown (with your mother's ashes in their urn) straight to a beautiful hillside and to her memorial, where he shows you your sister's remains are already interred and a space has already been made for your mother's urn. You place it, light a candle, whisper a brief prayer to lay her to rest, and he stands beside you respectfully and mournfully.

Having done what you came to Kyrat to do, he takes you under his wing, leads you back to the helicopter and says "let's go shoot some fucking guns now." Game over.

In the main game storyline, it's revealed your mother had an affair with him, and left your activist father and fled Kyrat with you once she discovered she was pregnant with you), and you're actually given the choice whether to kill him or not (he killed the man you believed was your father -- it's not 100% clear in my recollection whether Pagan Min was your father or just a "side piece"), and in a rare subversion for modern times, it actually lets you kill him if you decide to do so (though you still have to be sneaky/clever about it; by default, he gets away even if you try to kill him unless you set something up ahead of time so you'll be armed with a rocket launcher to shoot down his helicopter as he tries to flee). Either way, whether he dies or not, you're the heir-apparent and are left in charge of all of Kyrat.

In the easter egg ending, that "big reveal" isn't done, but it's still heavily implied he's still planning to turn things over to you, and instead of the events of the main storyline of Far Cry 4, you spend some time with him learning the ins-and-outs of the country before he gives up his throne and hands you the kingdom anyway.

So if you follow the easter egg ending, the two conflicting would-be leaders of the Golden Path never fight each other enough to lead to one or the other's death, the village you find at the start of the mainline story never gets assaulted and the people who live there go unharmed, myriad deaths are avoided and much bloodshed is prevented, you are literally flown to your goal within a couple of hours of arriving in-country, and still wind up in charge of the nation anyway, and likely in a strong position to end the hostilities and stabilize Kyrat just by virtue of not being Pagan Min (the guy they all hate).

Staying at the dinner table and waiting for Pagan Min to finish torturing your guide is literally the "best" ending (you can't save him no matter what anyway), resulting in the least violence and bloodshed and leading to the fastest resolution of Kyrat's internal political strife.

Ubisoft was obviously trying to be cute, making the point that if you choose to do nothing, the decision might be made for you and it might not be ideal, but as with FC5, they fucked up the message by making the easter egg ending bring a satisfying conclusion to the story. You came into the country as an outsider, and instead of joining a rebellion and murdering hundreds (or thousands) of Kyrati soldiers and officials, you go straight to the top (as unlikely as that sounds) and enact an unexpectedly peaceful transition of power from a literal tyrant to the much gentler "you." Far fewer people die and the setting is much better off (including for your character) if you literally don't play the game.

They have good writers. They're just led by fucking idiots.

Now, if you want to do something about it, do what the gays did when they were campaigning for rights and be seen, openly, clearly, destroying the fuck out of the pedos and groomers and shit in your community.
I'd love to be wrong about this, but I have zero recollection of faggots ever speaking out against (much less physically harming) pedophiles and groomers in the gay community back in the 80's and 90's, even with NAMBLA so openly perving out like they were. The rainbow brigade has certainly never tried to drum out its pedophiles post 9/11 to my recollection either.

Why is the democrat party DNC machine pushing him so hard now? They are desperate, that's why.
He's quite literally the only living democrat with a bullet-proof preemptive presidential pardon, which likely makes him the only democrat in the unique position of not being vulnerable to a legal derailing by an uncomfortable and untimely prosecution kicking off right as his campaign picks up steam.

They might view him as "scandal-proof"? At least in the sense he can't get nailed on any crimes he committed while daddy was president.

The discussion needs to be had on which REPUBLICANS are relying on stuffed votes to stay in office at this point. You only are against this if you cheat.
It's pretty clear at this point to me: any congresscritter at all who's opposed to voter ID cheated to get into office at some point in their career and is terrified of either being caught and prosecuted for it, or of losing their seat if they can't continue cheating. So yeah, if they oppose, they're cheating now or cheated in the recent past.

Why nobody's stating this obvious fact is beyond me. I guess they're all just afraid of being the first to have their dirty laundry aired out by the cheaters. :story:
 
Shiloh Hendrix, the Minnesota woman who called some feral Somali kid the gamer word for rooting around in her child's diaper bag and taking food out of it, has been convicted on charges of disorderly conduct- not against the child, but against the Somali man who was following her, haranguing her with his phone in her face, goading her into responding to him.

When you have James "I want to see ever republican voter dragged from their homes and SHOT in their EMPTY FUCKING HEADS in front of their children for electing that PIECE OF SHIT DONALD FUCKING TRUMP" Carville telling Democrat politicians that they may as well vote for the SAA because it has 75% support from democrat voters and it is just going to hurt the party in the long run if they don't at least look like they were willing to compromise, it aint a good look to for anyone, especially a Republican to not be on board.
 
Above cause I'm too lazy to quote, they're going to push ossoff hard for now, that'll the democrat party front man it looks and a 'rising star' 2028.

The democrat party won't play around with any women or commies again in 2028. They'll play the field like Craps in 2026, and I think their odds there are about the same as a table on it. Not really good

If she reports him to ICE does she need to pay damages?
 
Lets hope he loses his senate race this year just to fuck things over and make the dems lose any sliver of hope for the next general election.
He'll win that and be a DNC pushed up front contender in 28 I figure. They'll make him into another 'southern white boy' like they did bj clinton. They really at the top level DNC are terrified of the anti-semite/commie insanity going on in their ranks.

The crescendo to the next general election would be Trump winning his third term. Just imagining the tard rage from the mainstream media is fucking priceless.

Trump even jokingly suggesting he'll run for a third term (he already won three elections, after all, and in fact that pisses them off too when he reminds them) gets their blood boiling so hard I'm amazed nobody dies of feigned outrage every time he says it.

I still want him to make the factual assertion that "breathing oxygen is good for you" or "the sky is blue during daylight hours on clear days" in a special press conference before he leaves office, in his official capacity as president, stating it as an Official Position of the United States Government. The reaction is predictable, but I still want to watch people explain why oxygen really isn't all that good for you or why the sky is technically any color besides blue. Just because I think it'd be the funniest incontrovertible proof of TDS ever demonstrated by humans. I want to see people hold their breaths until they pass out just to spite Trump.

C'mon, universe, you can gimme one good funny one, can't 'ya? It's not such a big ask, is it?

There’s all sorts of ways he could do that and just sound like he’s giving innocent advice, such as “remember to drink enough water” or “at least 30 minutes of good exercise a day keeps you healthy” or “remember to look both ways before crossing a street”

Time has proven they never cut ties. The pedos were always there in the background waiting for their time to come back into the conversation.

It was, ironically enough, the lesbians who did so. Flat out telling the rest of the gay rights movement of the 80s and 90s that if the pedos were allowed to stay they'd kill the movement dead, and the rest of the gays bowed.

In 1993 and 1994 NAMBLA had its membership revoked by the rest of the international gay community and were told "politely" to go fuck themselves. Essentially separating the wider movement from the pedos. Simply because...... well again having the pedos latch onto your movement that claims to only want "the same rights as everyone else" is very bad optics.

Whether it was a political move or actual disgust with their open message of "we want to fuck kids because we think they can consent" NAMBLA was expelled from the wider gay rights movement.

However...... given their track record as of recent years........ I suppose my rose tinted glasses on this issue have finally been removed. As the more I look into it, the more it appears that this was a move to make them appear more...... "acceptable" to wider society.

I will concede that I am most likely wrong and that the gays likely only expelled nambla and other movements like them because of their quest for actual legal rights and such, as much as it saddens me to say so.

Yes I know, I'm naive and stupid for thinking that gays are actually just people, react how you wish.
