I was fortunate enough to be in the path of their migration many years ago while hiking to the summit of Mt Rose. It was the most crazy beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

It’s not really beta quality. I hopped on with my brother just to see if I was interested in the game (we both played black ops, the original back on the PS3). It was actually extremely stable and pretty fun. He noticed a UI glitch but … it’s not like there was even a feedback or bug report button.

It’s just early access with the disclaimer there might be something wrong… Which isn’t that different from buying a release day game anymore unfortunately.

Ok, he’s gonna release the proof that the earth is 5000yo, giants roamed the earth, and dinos are fake. Got it. Lunatic.

I was just guessing, but I bet that’s basically his platform.

This argument is hilarious with the intended implication that Republicans would somehow be different. Both Dem and Repub support Israel and the arms deals. Dems are still far better for the US though

I wish they didn’t support Isreal with weapons but here we are

There is no such implication.

Both Dem and Repub support Israel and the arms deals.

Correct, liberals are pretending otherwise.

YoFrodo ,

There is no such implication.

Yes there lmao. Otherwise the meme would have “US GOVT” at the bottom, but by only calling out Dems its trying to imply that the only other viable party is somehow different.

And liberals/dems/the left know this. They either support Israel too or are outspoken against it, hence the protests that are ignored or demonized by the media.

Wrong, it’s highlighting to liberals and dems that their party is also complicit in genocide, which they are currently firmly denying.

And liberals/dems/the left know this. They either support Israel too or are outspoken against it, hence the protests that are ignored or demonized by the media.

Why are you grouping in the Left with liberals and dems?

YoFrodo ,

You are being purposefully obtuse if you think this mean isnt attempting to put Dems in a spot where Repubs arent.

Cowbee ,
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

On the contrary, it’s putting the Dems in a spot where the Repubs are.

YoFrodo ,

I agree, that is the reality, but by only calling out Dems its implying Repubs are different. To me that is the apparent purpose of this meme.

“Oh, Dems turn a blind eye to genocide in Palestine” true, but Repubs do as well. Its almost the whole of US Congress that is complicit.

You’re on a Communist community, you aren’t going to find fans of the GOP.

Irrelevant hypothetical. The Democrats are complicit in an ongoing genocide.

Dems are still far better for the US though

Keep dreaming. They’ve been telling you this for decades, but there’s functionally no difference at home (besides the crackdown on protests against the genocide, fascism much?). Roe v Wade was overturned under Democrats despite them using the abuser logic, “if you don’t vote for us, our opponents will take away this right.” Speaking of, the Democrats have had multiple opportunities to codify RvW over the last 50 years, times when they had super majorities, but they didn’t. The Democrats decided to hold it over our heads as a threat instead. The Democrats decided to allow the Republicans to bully them into filling SCOTUS with right-wingers who would support their agenda. The Democrats have fulfilled none of their domestic policy promises to the people (only wealthy “investors,” let’s be honest, they aren’t contributing to campaigns, they are investing in the ability to shape policy), they have taken no actions to address the frequent abuses of the filibuster made by Republicans, and they’ve by far been the more deadly of these two parties when it comes to foreign policy (sanctions) and military operations.

How much longer are you going to continue eating their shit and pretending it’s chocolate? Do you really think you are so helpless as to have no option but to vote for one of these two parties? Do you think the only political action you can take is donating, campaigning for one of two shitty parties, and voting? Oops, my favored political party is doing shit I don’t want (contributing to a genocide), but I’m not going to do shit and will still vote for them despite that.

Quit your shit and just own it. I’d say it’s hilarious, but it just isn’t anymore. You want to vote for fascists, you are pressuring others to vote for fascists, and it’s either because you fucking want fascists in power or you don’t want to oppose these fascists. You are supporting a genocide and it’s sickening.

Just shut the fuck up with the fascist apologia and classic liberal moral grandstanding. No one buys the lie that the Democrats are the morally superior party anymore. The Democrats aren’t progressive and never will be. Your support of them reflects on you and your values. You aren’t progressive, you support these fucking ghouls despite claiming to have morals and values and desires that are opposite of the actions your chosen party is taking.

Get fucked.

The Obama administration dropped an average of 60 bombs every single day, on the middle east and north africa, during his presidency.

Has there been any reckoning or reflection on that atrocity, within the democratic party?

I wish they didn’t support Isreal with weapons but here we are

I genuinely don’t understand how y’all say this with a straight face. You can’t justify genocide with any other policies. It’s literally just “atleast Mussolini made the trains run on time” fascist apologia.

You are in the “in group” for the Democrats right now so you aren’t being harmed. That doesn’t change the fact they have a harmful ideology that pushes and normalizes fascism and genocide, and it doesn’t protect you in the long run to support/ encourage those sentiments. You just normalize them and strengthen them for the opponent to use, “first they came for…”.

(…I was going to use the harsh border/immigration policies to make a comparison at first, but unfortunately these policies and sentiments have already been co-opted and normalized by the Democrats as well…)

I dunno what it is, but their fries (animal style with Chiles, or plain) seem to really upset my guts, consistently. I suspect it’s their oil, but so far as I know, it’s just regular peanut oil…

They are the lowest quality fries I’ve ever had, with or without salad dressing to cover it up

I used to buy rolls where the center of the tube came as a little personal roll you could put in your purse. I can’t remember which brand anymore.

H.E.B. store brand toilet paper is like that. Haven’t seen any other companies do it.

It was never not evil. Just increasingly evil these days.

RabbitMix , to games in How did Call of Duty get to this point?

Right now it’s open to anyone who pre-ordered or anyone who has game pass. it’s open to everyone for free next week. maybe they should have called it limited instead of open, but it isn’t closed to anyone, anyone can get game pass and play the beta rn so it is technically an open beta.

and why are people playing CoD? because it’s really solid gameplay that recieves weekly updates and events to always keep things fresh. the new movement system in this one is really a game changer and makes the game a lot of fun to play.

Dashi ,

What’s the new movement system in this one?

ObsidianZed ,

I believe they’re referring to the slide and dive mechanics. AFAIK considering this is the first game I’ve played in awhile, you can now sprint, slide, and dive in any direction.

Think like strafe sprinting and diving around a corner as you turn your aim around behind you to shoot at someone you just dove passed.

Dashi ,

Thank you, I wonder how smooth that is going to pay on a controller.

RabbitMix ,

it works surprisingly great on a controller

Cornpop , to foodporn in In-N-Out burger and fries

Agreed! The fries are so bad! Absolutely disgusting no flavor and limp and soggy every time. They just slice them and toss them in the frier. Good fires are pre-boiled with a little bit of vinegar and then flash fried, frozen, then fried again. That’s how you get the soft core but nice bubbly crispy skin.

ObsidianZed , to games in How did Call of Duty get to this point?

The gameplay has changed so little over the years but that’s because it’s unfortunately pretty solid.

I played a lot when I was younger but stopped because I didn’t have the money, hard drive space, or internet bandwidth to keep up with the new games and updates.

With that said, I actually jumped into this beta since it was included in Game Pass and it reminded me of CoD of my youth.

Will I every give them anymore more money? Nah.

Will I play it some more via Game Pass? Maybe.

My biggest complaint is the ecosystem is cancer. They have CoD HQ that acts as a launcher but can only handle a couple games and if you select to play one of the games it can’t play, it fully closes and launches the game you want to play.

Can you simply download and launch only the game you want to play? Nope.

This is all to get your eyes on as much of their content as possible to really squeeze out those last few dollars.

The amount of players I saw with the skins that cost them $100 minimum was crazy. These are very likely the same people that buy every game every year and are precisely the target demographic they’re marketing towards.
