Besides China is closer to the US now than probably any time over the last 3 years maybe even 5 years

Why do you think so? It feels like the rift is still widening, albeit slowly

Oh shit do they have any favorites? I watched a few nearly a decade ago and they were pretty sloppy, so I'd be interested in a curated list

It's not out yet (spring 2025) but it's called "Freedom to Change Nothing: The Spectrum of Managed Democracy and What Makes the US Different", which will probably delve into ideas that Tony has been talking about on his channel and on Sheldon Wollin's idea of the american system as "Inverted Totalitarianism".

Feels like something Trueanon would tell you to do before the feds take your phone

Death stranding was announced in 2016 (probably been in dev since 2015) and released in 2019, that's 3-4 years. With the basic gameplay already done, and a lot of systems already locked down, how the fuck does Death Stranding 2 take 5-6 years to make? What are they making?

German music sounds so wrong to me, like it's not even music just people yelling

Someone here posted a git and I got it already

Weeks there are and decades happen there happen weeks decades where where

If I were Diaz-Canel here I'd punch Boric in his right eye

Is it just me or does their download page not work anymore? Also, kinda funny Nintendo is going balls out at the end of the console's lifecycle lol
