    What’s really fucked is how close the polls are still after everything.

    I mean I guess the debate can’t hurt trump since his followers immediately discard anything he does wrong/bad as fake news or conspiracy.

    But Jesus man when is enough enough

      A while back, during the election campaign here in the UK, I saw someone talking about how disproportionate reporting by centre/left news outlets on how well the right leaning parties were doing was really good for reminding their audience that a Labour win was not a given and that their vote mattered.

      In the case of the US, I think there’s a good amount of that, as well as large a scoop of cope from the right leaning news orgs. Cherry picking their sources means that outlets can present the polling as close, which flies better in the headlines.

      Or all that is bollocks, and the US really is a gibberish shitshow.

    The thought of being prepared and actually knowing things seems utterly alien to these people.

          Orange man looked bad Black woman looked smart

          A ton of theories and ways to reason it came out of conservative spaces, because a smart woman fries their understanding of the world which led to attempts to explain it away. One example was Bluetooth earrings so someone could feed her information while her opponent went on wild rants about inflammatory falsehoods.

                The grind and paywall to a lot of things suck.

                BUT the player base is really cool as long as you avoid the PVP areas.

                Well… If you play by the rules, the grind is miserable and will take decades to reach lvl 50. If you are willing to break the rules and exploit other players, the grind is much more manageable but it still takes just as long to hit the next lvl. You do have to be careful because the more rules you break, the higher your wanted level goes, and the police aren’t really big on taking players to jail, if you get my meaning.

                The only current “winning” strategy on this server is to be lucky and/or resourceful enough early in the game so that you have enough money to be above the law. If you hit level 10 and don’t already have a few million $ in the bank, you’re in for a long grind.

                  I hate both the level cap and the fact grinding gets even more painful at higher levels…

    It’s called podcast. She had podcast to have anything mind stimulating to focus on. Sheesh.

    I thought the conspiracy was that she WASN’T wearing earrings, so she obviously had an earpiece in her ear with someone feeding her the answers because she clearly wasn’t smart enough to come up with them on her own.

    Didn’t he get vaccinated against COVID-19?
    The earrings obviously acted as an amplifier for 5G signals to the mind control microchips in his bloodstream.

    They probably tried to wire up Trump but it didn’t work because it depends on him listening, understanding, and following what he’s told.

      We’ll know if they ever put an earpiece on Trump because we’ll see him reach up and turn it off the very second they tell him to say something he doesn’t want to.
