I can’t tell if they didn’t expect fallout like this, or if the files are so incriminating, even after redactions, that this fallout is still preferable. We’ll probably never know, but I’d bet on the latter.

Not necessarily, the US now has a long track record of progressive policies being super popular when they’re not associated with Democrats.

…bitch you even know how movie tickets work?

100% true, and it’s not going to end if/when Mamdani wins the election. They’ll do everything they can to make his term a failure.

Oh, fuck right off with this pro-wrestling level drama. Not one person involved in all this is “going rogue”. Everything, from the “nothing to see here” to the faux outrage is theater to distract from the fact that if Donald Trump wanted the Epstein files to be released, they’d be released.

People can be both, but generally it seems like MAGAs are more conservative-in-name-only while being genuinely and deeply reactionary. They will tell you they want smaller government (conservative) but then if you get into specific issues they’re happy to list all the things government should do, even if that makes it bigger, like tightly controlling borders and voting. However, a lot of them sincerely believe there are getting to be too many non-whites in their country (reactionary) and that anyone who’s poor deserves to be. Unless it’s them, of course; they’re just down on their luck.

I mean, if that rule gets tossed out, I can only think of like 2 world leaders I’d be sad to see go. Russia is already actively trying to kill one of those.

They tempted the heroes with wealth beyond measure so that by the time they stab them in the back, nobody mourns.

Also because there’s probably democrats on the list Also because Bill Clinton.

Making inoffensive microtransactions is such a tightrope walk. Just putting an up-front price is so much simpler on their end.

If that upsets you, kids, tell your dad to make a game worth paying money for in 2025, or to make his 1995 game easily accessible at an appropriate price.

Why are Democrats not going on the news and taking every opportunity to call the Republicans pedo protectors?

This looks less like heroes becoming villains and more like villains (who were always villains) tricking the hero and murdering them. Unknown World’s founders and developers of the first game all got fired by the company that acquired them.

Jokes on you, I’m expecting it everywhere.

Secular historical explanations for why the god of the Bible is the way he is (and how he’s changed) make so much more sense than the mental gymnastics Christians have to do. Most of the old testament (and plenty of the new testament) descriptions and stories of him are way more characteristic of a tribal deity warring with other tribes’ deities than the omnipotent, omnipresent, benevolent creator of the universe.
