There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple.
  • Now that the Steam Deck and linux gaming has found some success I really hope Valve or someone else revisits the home console market with a similar approach.

    You couldn't really build a PC for the same price as a PS5 with the same performance unless you're buying used parts in most places but that's not because Sony is selling consoles at a loss right now like the olden days. A large system integrator like Valve (or xbox if they want to change their formula) could offer similar perf/price without all the downsides of these locked down consoles.

    NATO official: Ukraine has legal right to strike deep into Russia
  • By international law they can use weapons supplied by other nations even for long range strikes into Russia yes, to my knowledge it's just a gentleman's agreement that they follow the terms of the nation supplying them. Not really a point of contention though as it would be idiotic to violate those terms at risk of not being supplied anymore.

    The only point of contention is whether supplying nations should decide to allow strikes into Russia with their equipment because Russia continues to threaten that it would see that as an act of war from the supplying nation. So legally nothing wrong with it but you have to weigh that decision with possibility of starting World War III or a nuclear apocalypse.

    How Republicans became the party of raunch
  • It's always been fake Christian values coat of paint slapped over male supremacy. They don't understand the nuance that the left is fine with consenting nudity they just don't want people feeling forced, coerced, objectified or degraded to do so. They think that disliking the concept hooters or the man show is the same as saying women can't choose to wear revealing clothes...it's not.

    On the Sydney Sweeney and Hawk Tuah points democrats in general obviously have no problem with them being open with their sexuality. Republicans will think of it as a win against "wokeness" but then they'll turn around and call these women sluts as well for the way they act or dress - not understanding that the latter is really what we're against.

    'It just exploded': Woman who sparked Trump's migrant pet-eating hoax comes forward
  • And yet MAGA idiots still believe it's true regardless of this retraction. There's some random US citizen from Canton, Ohio named Allexis Ferrell who is in jail for eating a cat that they are using to justify these false claims even though she has absolutely no relation to Haitian immigrants in Springfield

    Trump Wants to Hire 'Free Spirit' Laura Loomer. MAGA Allies Think She's Nuts
  • On twitter yesterday I saw some MAGA people discussing that she was "right" but it's bad optics for the more moderate republicans so she should be distanced until after the election. They accept her.

    I wish some sports journalists I follow would move off twitter so I could drop it completely.

    Vance Describes Plan to End Ukraine War That Sounds a Lot Like Putin’s
  • We will end the war in Ukraine by giving Russia everything they want...

    Kamala Harris said in the debate, "I believe the reason Donald Trump says this war would be over in 24 hours is because he would just give it up." Turns out she's 100% correct.

    Colorado teen shot in the face by town councilman after going to home to ask permission to take homecoming photos
  • According to an arrest affidavit obtained by the station, one of the teens reported hearing Metz say "Oh s---, my gun just went off" after the shooting.

    The kids did trespass by hopping a fence, I'm guessing his defense is going to be he was just trying to hold them there for police but accidentally discharged his weapon into a kids face. The fuckwit is really lucky the kid lived.

    I can't understand the idiotic appeal of inserting yourself into these situations when the police are already on the way and there's no danger to yourself to just waiting and letting them handle it.

    Ginni Thomas news boosts calls for Clarence Thomas recusal ahead of Supreme Court term
  • They got caught taking bribes and then afterward made an official ruling that "gratuities" are okay and totally not bribes. These corrupt assholes have no shame and will never voluntarily recuse themselves.

    Debate wrap up: No one has ever so thoroughly dominated Donald Trump
  • I checked twitter. Generally they think Trump won. They also think the moderators were a Harris' team and it was 3 vs 1. They think he owned her with the "I'm talking now" line. There's also a conspiracy theory that Harris was wearing earrings with speakers in them.

    But no debate was going to change the mind of people already in the maga cult anyway.

    For 'undecided' voters I've seen this didn't move the needle much but Harris was slightly ahead.

    The biggest win is probably for already dem leaning voters being more excited to get out and vote rather than not voting - especially with Taylor Swift encouraging them to register and vote now.

    AOC launches effort to impeach Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito
  • https://www.vox.com/2022/1/19/22881837/senate-filibuster-vote-voting-rights-joe-manchin-kyrsten-sinema

    We don't have to guess, they tried. 50 is enough if you can get 50...on these issues the dems couldn't get 50 even when they had the house. Guess which two senators opposed filibuster reform? Guess which two senators also very publicly stated they wouldn't vote for packing the supreme court?

    AOC launches effort to impeach Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito
  • You're really trying to strawman me and aren't making good faith arguments here so I'm not going to waste too much time on a response... but take 51 and then subtract 2 from it (for Manchin and Sinema who won't vote with dems on these issues) - is that 50? Besides that dems also don't control the house.

    AOC launches effort to impeach Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito
  • This is literally AOC trying to impeach them, which isn't going to be successful in a republican controlled house anyway. It's more just for principle and show.

    Court packing isn't really an option right now for the same reason...if dems get firm control of the house and senate then it would be possible. For those who don't know Manchin and Sinema are two "democratic" senators who won't abolish filibuster or expand the supreme court so the current 51 - 49 democrat control of the senate isn't real control either.
