you let people set arbitrary restrictions on how to qualify for voting and you will end up with shit like this

democracy is the best bad system we got
I remember getting a test like this in high school. The first instruction was "write your name at the top of the paper." The second instruction was "read all of the problems before solving the first problem." Then about 29 questions like this. The last problem said "Do not answer questions 1 - 29." So the correct answer to the entire test was to put your name at the top of the test and turn it in blank.

Everyone failed it except for me and one other dude. Not only that, there were a number of people trying to argue that their solutions for problems 1 - 29 were the correct solutions, so they shouldn't fail the test, even after it was explained to them how and why they failed. And society has gotten even dumber since then.
 
It's not you, it's how these tests are worded and "graded" to trick you.

Ahhh sheet. This is like where’s Waldo and the riddle of the sphinx.
 
I can't help but feel a little pessimistic hearing this, but who knows maybe it's a good thing for them to have their coffers bled sooner rather than later. I just know that infinity money usually speaks more loudly than integrity.
Spending in the WI SC race is about equal actually IIRC, but the main point of contention is whether Schmiel can overcome both the natural advantages Democrats (and their affiliates - this is technically a nonpartisan race) have in special elections and the Dem machines in Milwaukee, Dane counties. Early vote, which wraps up Friday, will be crucial in determining if Schmiel has a path to victory.
Maybe I'll parrot Election Twitter accounts some more post some updates later in the week.
 
Give me a bioshock but making fun of Communism and wokeness
The fourth installment is supposedly going to be something in that vein since it's continuing Eleanor's story from 2, and that game was explicitly anti-communist since it was the only one not written by Ken "I totally don't seek out R34 of Elizabeth" Levine, but it's been stuck in development hell for years.
 
I mean a Real Madrid tattoo is a terrorist symbol?

I hate Barcelona and want to see it die.
For anyone not familiar with Glenn Greenwald, this is what his dead Brazilian husband looked like:

No matter how right he is on other issues, Glenn will always be a faggot and a spiteful mutant. "Decentering the majority," privileging foreigners over citizens, and protecting criminals at the expense of the innocent are all unnatural positions. But Glenn doesn’t want Venezuelan pinga deported so he’s demanding that Americans continue bearing the cost of hostile, illegal immigration.
 
Huh, there is a Switch port of BioShock. Weird
Why is that weird? It’s an old ass game that’s still really popular. Not like it’s some powerhouse game the switch can’t handle.
I still wonder how as a zoomer I have far better reading and writing skills than the rest of my generation. Maybe it’s just from being born smarter.
Did you have Boomers as parents?
Did you have both parents at home?

They did, it's called Bioshock 2.
That’s the one I (and many others from what I’ve gathered over the years) didn’t play.
Excuse me for not knowing.
Perhaps because it didn’t do as well as the first, they figured they should “return to the roots” of the first one with Infinite by having a hamfisted over the top leftoid version of what conservatives think instead of it being about Fatherhood and whatnot.

I want one where it’s Columbia but over the top woke/Commie insanity.

Again, Atomic Heart didn’t give me that.

To be fair, floating extremely pretty sky cities where you can say nigger and exercise your right to not let niggers, irish, germans, or viking rapebabies (british) into your store is basically paradise.

You should. It's basically an improvement over the previous entry in every way. Better story, better combat, melee isn't a fucking afterthought. Only issue is the Remaster is about as stable as KF's servers, so make sure you save often.

What’re the people of rapture descended from if the Irish, Germans and English are so bad?
Nah, living in a quasi-futuristic version of a Steam Powered Giraffe album isn’t my cup of tea.

I think I have the Remaster Collection on PS4. That includes all three from what I remember.
 
Gonna be honest, never cared for Bioshock’s themes. It’s clearly a leftoid slant especially the 3rd game.
But look at both Rapture and Columbia…One is an over exaggeration of Libertarianism and the other is what leftoids think Conservatives believe but in reality is even more batshit insane than the first game.
Wait, so do some libs actually think an advanced Libertarian society would eventually collapse due to super meth (what ADAM addiction clearly alluded to) use?

Like, of all the flaws in Libertarianism, you'd think legal drug use would be the ones libs are cool with? 🤔 They already don't care about homeless drug addicts running rampant like ADAM abusers in liberal cities.

Console should be fine. PC is totally fuck, though. Only game I've played in the last several years that actaully CTD on me.
The most important thing to remember: don't get cocky. Trump is on top of the world now but MAGA is not yet completely forged into an unshakable edifice. It's a long time until 2028 and anything could happen between now and then.
