The silver lining to the shit show of the last 9 months is that the Republican drama has finally gotten entertaining.

Translation: Trump’s own party is worried that his tariffs are going to cost them elections and are threatening to 25th him if he doesn’t play ball.

Epictetus. “Some things are up to us and some are not up to us.”

I’m playing it right now and enjoying it. Not sure what the person you replied to disliked.

I didn’t say it was HL3. I replied to a post implying the series hasn’t had an update in 20 years.

It’d be like a Star Wars fan wondering why there’s buzz about the movie coming out next year despite it being 42 years since Return of the Jedi. And the answer is that even if that’s the last one that particular fan personally cared about, there has been Star Wars media since then.

Also, Alyx did resolve the HL2E2 ending. It didn’t add a whole lot on past that, but the cliffhanger was very much addressed.

They’re trying Google Glass again?

That cliffhanger got addressed in Half-Life: Alyx. And replaced with a different cliffhanger.

Half-Life: Alyx came out 5 years ago…

There were multiple possible endings for both Geralt and Ciri, including endings where Ciri survives.

Horror has always been a source of social commentary, though. Going all the way back to at least Frankenstein, published in 1818.

Ah. I haven’t switched to Wayland yet so I wasn’t aware of that issue.

There’s also the unofficial flatpak, which works rather well.

I should be more clear: “Huge mistake” means it’s an opinion piece from a person who has a clear bias, not factual journalism. And the fact that the title gives no indication of what it’s actually about means the only thing I have to go on is the author disagrees with something, but won’t say what until I pay them for an opinion I didn’t ask for.

I would personally rather be given the information and form my own opinion.

Clickbait title that is clearly partisan, looks like not worth reading regardless of content.

I’m running mine in Alpine.

Google search has sucked for a couple years now. DuckDuckGo is better for everything except maps.

How exactly should we fix it? I plan to vote in the Midterms, but it’s going to be a long two years until then.

There’s no chance. What he’s doing now is what the Republicans have been trying to do since the 1980s: defund the government, deport immigrants, end legal abortion, roll back LGBTQ protections, etc.

It’s taken them this long to accomplish it because they all knew actually implementing it would be political suicide. But now they have a president who will very happily push it all through, take all the credit for it, and probably won’t even lose that much popularity as his cult of personality lets him get away with way more than most presidents would.

All they have to do is play passive for the next four years and give non-answers every time anyone asks them why they’re not standing up to Trump. Even if the Democrats win Congress and the presidency in 2028, the Republicans have the courts and can block any bill the Democrats pass, making it very difficult to fix Trump’s mess. And they can blame the recession that the next president inherits on that president, giving them a decent shot at 2032.

In short, Republicans have no reason to want to impeach Trump. They can use him as their attack dog to do what they want without getting their own hands dirty.
