  • Harris, who ran for President in 2020 — and is in the upper echelon of the DNC, voted in favour of fracking in Biden’s IRA bill because she:

    A) Was planning on running for President again and needs Pennsylvania

    And

    B) Wants democrats in Senate and Congressional races to win in Pennsylvania so her party can hold power in those chambers.

    Or are you just trying to rationalize her behavior after the fact instead of actually learning what really happened?

    There is nothing about her behaviour that needs rationalizing. Every stance she has compromised on is in service of getting elected and maintaining the power bases that she needs to hold onto power.







  • I do PC game, so let me give you a counterpoint:

    I have GeForce Experience which manages my drivers, but after a windows update awhile back suddenly the updates fail at like 80%, no idea why.

    Now I’m just barely smart enough that I could probably fix it if I sat down for an hour or two and did some googling.

    But why would I do that? I can just hit the power button on my Xbox and not have to troubleshoot an obscure problem.







    • Batman: Arkham Knight

    • Assassin’s Creed Unity

    • Battlefield 4

    • Homefront: The Revolution:

    • Forza Horizon 3

    • Total War: Rome 2

    All high profile games, all had my social media feeds full of PC gamers complaining about how they ran like shit on their 4,000 dollar PCs.

    You say you don’t know what I’m talking about, but then list every single hoop I’m trying to avoid with the tagline of ‘just jump through them!’.



  • It works, and then you don’t enjoy the game so it was all for nothing, or they release a patch that changes something so you have to do it all over again. And then you have that to look forward to with every new game you want to try out.

    I follow a lot of PC gamers on social media and they’re always crowd-sourcing technical questions about why this or that isn’t working like they expect.
