There is nothing to protect us from this outcome and there never was. Which makes it especially infuriating when Democrats go “but it’s IMPORTANT to follow the RULES and abide by DECORUM!!” You mean the rules and decorum that led us to this very outcome? Start calling for their heads, literally.

Our convicted fraud adjudicated rapist corrupt pedophile President is launching spurious vindictive “‘criminal’ investigations” into his political opponents and it’s pretty clear at this point that America is a failed experiment and all our systems are myths at best

Smedley Butler’s omission from our history textbooks, when he should be a prominent figure of the 20th century, really gives away that our educational system largely trucks in capitalist and imperialist propaganda.

For example, here's a former Remedy Dev who has been invaluable in the PC modding scene with his tools, Luma+RenoDX which adds accurate HDR and tons of other features (like injecting DLSS) into many games.

Filippo Tarpini
@FilippoTarpini
I think I will leave the modding scene within a few years. AI has absolutely ruined it from me.

I know, the world changes, it's fine. But I'll give you my reasons anyway:
- the amount of mods per day has grown exponentially, between the junk, enough are good, and your carefully crafted mods get buried under.
- code bases are growing into monsters, I get a PR every day to fix some stuff on Luma and it's 60000 lines of changes to fix a basic bug.
- it genuinely feel like I'm not much needed anymore. I used to be one of the few ones able to mod old games (HDR, ambient occlusion, DLSS). Now many can slop something in no time, even if it's nowhere as good, many won't know.
- code licenses are completely meaningless now. One guy came on our forum, presented a slop but functional mod, I asked to clean up a few small things before merging and instead of doing so he asked AI do re program the whole thing from scratch to not use my framework.
- making mods has become massively easier, and that's nice, but also the pleasure of gradually unravelling a picture as you reverse engineer a game is gone.

All these things paint a bleak picture.
There's gonna be enough tinkerers to make mods even without me probably, so, no loss.

Really it’s the 0.1% or white deaths that matter in the situation. White people are worth like 10,000 brown people each, and we get to kill as many of them as we like if some other brown people did something bad to other white people. Really innovative thinking here. Other lives don’t matter.

I mean maybe they got lazy and decided “we’ll just do capitalism and that’ll cause as much widespread misery and concentration of prosperity possible” and then left it running and never manually course-corrected any of the cartoonish logical outcomes that inevitably result from such a system.

I get that it’s hard to make a collective torture chamber that hurts everyone inside in just the right ways to keep them suffering but for the most part not enough to make them all self-terminate, but if you’re gonna do “Donald Trump is President” you might as well just not even camouflage it at all

Filling such a beautifully-crafted engine with like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk and shit is like when a AAA studio focuses too hard on “graphical realism” while neglecting the writing department and you end up spending the whole time thinking “I am playing a video game” anyway. No sense of immersion.

Similarly, the Harris campaign decided to bank on "no changes from Biden, he did a great job, especially on the economy and Israel" despite Biden's handling of both the economy and Israel being two points of contention for voters across the board. Democrats fumble elections they shouldn't lose.

Also, Hillary's own campaign tried to escalate Trump as an "easy victory" opponent. She didn't campaign in Michigan or Wisconsin, two states she lost. They banked on wooing Republicans when right-wingers loathed the Clintons for decades. Pretty dumb to blame Sarandon for Clinton's shitty campaign.
