Also, given how Trump's been even more incoherent and irrational in this election compared to 2016's, I'd be surprised if he's still grounded enough in reality (or even alive) to seek more terms in 2028 - he's already in his 80s and doesn't live a healthy lifestyle; he has supercharged billionaire-only medicine, but there are only so many miracles that medicine can do.

I guess maybe the Republicans would try to keep him as a front for PR (like a puppet president) while hiding the fact that he's senile from the population, and governing from the shadows. Which I suppose is barely better than direct rule from Trump himself.

Now I'm curious: if Person A serves two full terms as US president, then Person B (from the same party) runs and chooses A as their vice-president, and then steps down, what would happen? Would A be unable to be picked as B's Vice President in first place, or would A simply be legally unable to be sworn in as President after B stepped down and the Speaker of the House gets the position instead?

meanwhile im already seeing "moderate" "pundits" saying the reason Harris lost is because she was too woke and Democrats need to move further right 🙃

...Awful?

It's so fitting and poetic that, just when I finally start getting my life in order, the world throws itself off a cliff.

Given how reactionary the average Gen Z guys are, this is less of a protest and more of a self-preservation tactic.

Came here to suggest Unbound too!

I'm the same way (also have ADHD). I love Subnautica*'s underwater gameplay and alien moon aesthetic, but I can only really play it in Creative Mode since I really like building bases and exploring without worrying about resources and dying.

(* I have Below Zero instead because I like the snowy aesthetic and playing as a girl 😅)

Cassette Beasts is so good.

I'm not hopeful. I've already seen centrists and pundits saying that Harris lost because she's "too progressive" and that Dems need to move further right.

Given Dems' track record, I'm dreading 2028 is going to be JD Vance versus fucking RFK Jr. or Joe Manchin. At least the only silver lining out of THAT shitshow will be seeing the Democratic Party completely implode after completely alienating their voter base to become a carbon copy of the Republican Party (while Repub voters just keep voting R) and hopefully pave ground for an actual progressive party replace them, but that will hardly offset the horrors of 8 years of unrestrained fascism (assuming the left wins in 2032 🥲)

Yeah. I pretty much have to play it with mods that double/triple the daytime length, or I just feel perpetual anxiety over not being able to get anything done in a day.

That really fucking sucks, I'm so sorry you have to deal with this bullshit. Landlords really are the worst.

Oh my god, tell me about it.

Even when you want to rent a place and can afford to do so, landlords make the situation really difficult because many of them put up places supposedly for rent, but make it as difficult as possible for someone to actually qualify to rent it, since they're only doing it to inflate their net worth and having someone living there apparently devalues it. It took me over a year to find a place that actually was willing to let me rent it because most others would cook up bullshit reasons to reject me (my personal favourite being one that got mad at me and put me in their blacklist for... asking too many questions about their property???).

Like... I have money. They are offering a good in exchange for money. I am willing to spend money in exchange for this good. It shouldn't be this hard.

 

I wanted to play Test Drive Unlimited 2 multiplayer with the TDU World mod, but since I'm not one of the lucky few who owned the game back in the day (I was still a teenager when they shut down the game) I have to pirate it. Unfortunately, the tool required to do it while working with TDUWorld, 80_PA (https://github.com/Blaukovitch/80_PA ), doesn't want to work through Wine as it crashes immediately.

It's a long shot, but has anyone here used it?
