Depends on what you mean by “winning”. Some up votes are agreement that the comment makes the most sense; while others are because of hive mind mentality.

Honestly, if I want dopamine hit from social media or forums, I prefer to get replies. I like discussions and see other people’s opinions.

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I don’t think she’s that hot.

It’s about relishing on power as much as it about money. .

I’ve only met one or two communists who are genuinely decent and principled. The rest are nutters.

I’m no longer religious, but I probably would not be the person I am were it not for Catholic teachings. It was probably in Catholic school which taught me that you don’t have to prove anything to anyone. This advice complements my maverick and individualistic personality but it isn’t to say that I haven’t had insecurities and not minded what others think. I was also taught to be compassionate and humble. However, the last two could only go so far as I learned growing up that it led me to being a figurative door mat for others.

Nevertheless, all of those doesn’t excuse the Catholic church’s corruption and sexual abuse scandals. The Catholic church also, up until recently, force left handed folks to be right handed. That is one of the weirdest superstitions and beliefs that the Catholic church has. Oh and the Catholic church is still impractically anti-divorce.

If I am an American voting in the election I wouldn’t have voted for either Hillary or Trump in 2016 but I will definitely vote for Biden then and now.

Hillary is full of baggage which is too many to ignore. Trump, in my view at the time, isn’t a fascist but a fascist-adjacent and I thought his presence sets a dangerous precedence. After the first four years, that proved correct. He became drunk with power and became a full blown fascist.

Biden definitely is a better choice in any elections against Trump. He has less baggage and still did surprisingly well that is favourable with the left.

And when you mention how other countries are doing better and USA should copy them (like having ranked choice voting to rid the two-party system), Americans will either pretend they didn’t hear that or will go “wE aRe tOo dIvErSE fOr tHaT sHeEiItT”. I was told by someone that Americans generally do not want adopt a system from outside unless they made it themselves. So I guess nationalism also plays a role, too.

FO3 has better world design but story-wise I prefer NV.

I would have liked if Obsidian had put consequences of having helped the enemy in certain quests. Mr House knew I put bug into his building, helped NCR or the Legion, but he did nothing. Had Obsidian gotten more time to polish the game, they probably would have wrote script of Mr House punishing me for being a triple agent.

The Metal Gear franchise is political from the beginning. No one really batted an eye because everyone can get behind the “screw the government”, “fuck Illuminati”, “fuck corporations” and at the first game everyone cheers on killing a duciplitous warlord.

And a random courier is somehow trusted to be the kingmaker. Which is more strange considering that I roleplayed as a kind of mercenary playing all sides until there comes the fork on the road where I had to choose which faction to give my full support.

War crimes.

I remember the overly macho ads for men’s deodorant. The Axe brand is the biggest culprit back in the 00s. Men think women dig the smell and spray too much. But little do men realise that women hate the smell. And men who overspray with Axe tend to be douchebags. So, the Axe spray becomes a huge signal for the women that the guy is a douche.

Later on innovation meant creative ways to bribe elected officials so they’d refuse to pass safety laws, or allow for effective law suits when too many people died horribly from collisions.

If libertarians could read, they’d blame the government as usual.

But seriously, I can’t count the number of times they always blame the government for merely existing for being bribed. Like, what is that even supposed to mean? I don’t follow the logic. You’re not supposed to offer bribes to the government in the first place or you even give one when asked, you bloody bollocks!
