But we aren't talking about Trump right now, we're talking about Biden. Anyway, here's an aerial photo of Biden's one house that shows he is rich and out of touch with the common man. Can you imagine such an ostentatious show of wealth.

Centrists: "You lefties have to vote for Biden, otherwise you're letting Trump in, he'll kill people, and it'll be 100% your fault"

Lefties: "Ugh fine"

[Biden wins]

Centrists: "See! Centrism is what people want!"

Oh no, that would at least make some level of sense.

What’s actually happening is the left is being blamed because the pathologically centrist campaign lost seats in the House and didn’t win the Senate.

Nah I've definitely been hearing both, this election was simultaneously a glowing success because everyone loves centrism so much and a crushing failure because everyone hates socialism so much

These are perfectly compatible views

There’s nothing that justifies it. Like, at stretch, situations where children put themselves into mortal danger (running into traffic, poking the electric socket, that sort of affair) are the only thing that comes remotely close and even that has issues.

Bobby Deluxe posted:

Three main reasons it's poo poo:

1) In isolation, it leaves it for the child to associate the pain with something. So if a kid who picks up a bag of flour in the shops gets hit because the mum wants to stop them picking things up, the child might then thing 'oh poo poo, flour is bad' and then pick up a bag of something else.

Yeah, I think the classic "small child keeps trying to touch the fire" or "small child keeps trying to run into traffic" are examples where I feel a smack on the back of the hand would be appropriate if all other options are exhausted, as it's better than the alternative and associating fires with pain is actually a desired rather than unintended consequence.

Watch dogs isn't really GTA, very different tonally and with quite different mechanics too.

I've already said I'm not buying anything from ubisoft (not that I would normally, but I'm doubly not at the moment) but the watch dogs games don't super look that appealing to me. It's something I might watch someone else play but not something I think I would really enjoy myself.

I intend to play Watch Dogs 3 when it is at a price I feel is appropriate for what the game is. Running about arsing around San Francisco in WD2 was fun so doing it around London which I actually have been to will also be fun I assume. Ubisoft openworld games hit all the right parts of my brain.

Is the Senate not going Democrat because it's a straight vote with equal weighting per state, as opposed to the more weighted electoral college, or because not all seats are up for election, or because people vote differently for Senate vs President?

Years of sexual and workplace harassment, the ones who did it were allowed to 'retire' with company golden parachutes, the CEO whose best friend was one of the abusers has been tone deaf since and ignoring it hoping it will just disappear.
And their games are the same for the last decade, just set in different locations.

Also the CEO's son has apparently been given a stupid amount of influence despite his incompetence, and made a game with a terrorist group that uses BLM iconography.

Never buy a Ubisoft game. I mean you can if you want but it's not advisable.

Like that joke about late Soviet steel mills being paperwork factories that produce steel as a side product, but it's Ubisoft, sexual harassment, and videos game.

The SWP combines both, being a sexual harassment factory that produces dull late Soviet bureaucracy as a side product.

I usually need to take a break after clearing an Ubi game, Far Cry 4 was cool but man did I hate those loving bases by the end. I usually have to play at least 2 story focused, linear games before I can even think about anything open world.

Assassins Creed Origins was cool though, and I still want to 100% the map some day.

1/3 of the seats are up every 2 years, for 6 year terms. It's a vote that is independent of any other race, so people can vote for whoever they want.
