It seemed like sexual frustration and not racism was the primary motivating factor in the spa killings. There have been other recent mass killers who were motivated by sexual frustration, including Elliot Rodger, Alek Minassian, and Scott Beierle. This type of killer usually targets women they feel have rejected and wronged them. For instance Rodger tried to kill college sorority girls and Beierle tried to kill attractive women in yoga pants. I was actually really surprised to see this story treated as an anti-Asian issue rather than a violent incel issue. Dude probably had a fetish for Asian women, but couldn't get with one without paying and snapped.
Here is Fox News floating the idea that we might need a fascist president to fight the rampant conservative male suppression in America. It's hard not to see similarities between what's happening now in the US and what happened to German democracy in the 1930s.
Incels are already considered a terrorist group in Canada. Happened after an incel killed a bunch of people while trying to plow over pretty girls in a van. There was an amusing story recently about an incel who planned to blow up hot cheerleaders blowing his own hands off by accident while trying to make bombs. @bfun Conservatives are getting to the point where they can't win many democratically held elections. Even when there is high turnout like in 2020, they just don't have the numbers to win. They are vastly outnumbered by moderate and left leaning people. They aren't going to discard conservatism. They are going to discard democracy. I think Hillary Clinton was a weird anomaly where Dems ran someone who was not even well liked within their own party. If they had run just about anyone else they would have won in 2016.
They did the same thing in 2020 and just plain got lucky... they won because of Trump not because anybody cared for Joe Biden. I feel like they don't know what their base wants whereas Republicans have dropped the facade and now openly cater to the people that will go out and vote for sure.
Trump was the best candidate to beat Hillary. And probably only wins against her. Hillary has so much baggage. The thing with Joe is he isn’t Trump. Anyone who wasn’t Trump was going to win 2020, except for Hillary. The parties need to stop trolling each other. But the GOP has jumped the shark.
I think I heard about that. Stupid. I’m glad I’m out of the game so I’m not chasing some anime catgirl idea and getting pissed when real life girls don’t walk around making aheago faces. At least our manic pixie girls were sort of attainable.
I finally managed to get a 3080 from an online retailer. Got the Gigabyte Auros card from AWD IT. The thing is massive and takes up to 4 slots on my mobo. (My PC is equipped to enjoy this purchase without any bottlenecks thanks God.)
Nice. The 3080ti is a crappy money grab from Nvidia. The 3070ti isn't much better. I'd still like to find a 3070 but I don't think that will ever happen.
Did you pay through your nose? I of course don't do PC gaming anymore because I am an old man. My daughter runs a 1660 Ti, she seems fine with it but she still has a 1080p monitor because I am a scrub dad so she doesn't need to go higher.
Hey grim and bfun hope you both are well. Has been a while. Yeah I spent a bit on the gpu. Cost me 1300 British bones, purchased from awd it (I just happened to stumble upon it and after purchasing it went out of stock within the hour) I don't think I've ever spent so much on a single PC component before, but it's a long story, I had upgraded my pc whilst on holiday in new York (visited micro center and I could only wish PC world/Curry's could be like this), I went just before lockdown happened in the UK. But anyway at the time I decided not to purchase a gpu until the 3000 series had come out, little did I know the shitstorm that happened (otherwise I would have just got the 2080 from there instead). In regards to use, you're going to laugh but I got the PS3 emulator running on my pc. I recently clocked mgs 4 again and it was quite nice being able to upscale the graphics and up the FPS on it. Haven't got a 4k monitor yet but 1440p is enough for me at the moment. Sent from my ASUS_I001DC using Tapatalk
I’m so sick of the news talking about antivaxers. CA and Vegas might reinstate masks. I’m pro anti vax. There should be 0 intervention in letting these morons commit suicide. We should go back to maskless life and let them roll the dice. I don’t care if they drop dead in the streets. I’m not gonna do another round of masks/isolation.
The antivaxx crowd are intent on killing themselves here in Florida. We account for 20% of new US covid cases now.
We've decided to roll the dice and open up fully in the UK and remove the rules around distancing and masks... I wouldn't say it is going well at all. I expect us to be back in restriction-land by the time the kids are back at school in September. The only legal requirement that remains is that you must isolate if you have Covid or have been in contact with someone who has it. This changes next month though for people who have had 2 jabs who can have a test and if it's negative they can do what they want even if they live with a confirmed Covid patient. Keep seeing more and more rumours that vaccine passports are going to be required in more areas. It's coming in for nightclubs and might also for things like pubs. I've been double jabbed myself and had no side effects from either but I'll be honest, the amount of double jabbed people ending up in hospital makes me wonder how well they are actually working. I was confident we were heading in the right direction but I now think this is far from over.
Well, I think the fears scientist had about variants is coming true. The original shot wont be as effective against the variants that keep emerging. We'll all need booster shots ever year or so. Of course with all these heat bubbles and floods it seems like humanity might not have to worry about viruses much longer.
you can use us as an example. california lifted its state mask mandate and opened back up on june 15. and a month later, LA county shuts down bars and then enforces their own mask mandate. LA now has roughly 70% of california's covid cases. florida is spiking again and again. the whole country is seeing spikes but everyone is doing their best to ignore it since they dont want to be inconvenienced again. all of the serious hospital cases are unvaccinated people. the vaccine works. they're working on booster shots for the delta variant. but the problem will be the people who don't want to get vaccinated. the US has a huge surplus of vaccines. you don't even need appointments. its been like this for months. they're taking walk-ins. at this point this is the most amount of people we can get vaccinated. fox news runs these scare campaigns against vaccines. we're basically a developed third world country.
We are circling the drain of idiocracy. Only a decade of ago we used to talk about how endless wars and debt would bankrupt America. But in the end the American empire will fall due to dumbass Americans. I guess it's kinda befitting.
