Muslim Americans in swing states launch anti-Biden campaign

Reply in thread

Seriously these fucking morons are going to assist the guy who wants a "complete and total ban on Muslim entering our country...." because they don't like Biden's support for Israel? I understand this is a no win situation but given the choice who's going to be better for Muslims domestically or abroad? Clearly the dem. And on that point I wonder if they think trump would have behaved any differently toward Israel? Spoiler alert.

They have a point though, neither d nor r is going to be "good" for Muslims or Palestinians, our track record sorta proves that out.

TIL the US Government once released its own video game to inform, educate, and recruit prospective soldiers.

The special forces test was nuts, was playing on a friend's account at the time but it boiled down to just crawling through the lowest point along the entire path. Literally the entire mission you're in a drainage or small creek just crawling and going stealth. I can't remember if you eventually fight or do anything, I just remember the two hours of crawling on the ground to go undetected.

After I got the SF certification you could play this map called Hospital where you're extracting a VIP while an insurgent team is trying to kill him. So much fucking fun. I loved this game. Yvan eht nioj

Israel kills at least 274 in Lebanon and orders thousands to flee their homes

The zionazis and their tinpot shit stain dictator netanyahoo want a regional war. Netanyahoo wants war because it helps him escape his legal issues at home, and his ape shit terrorist settlers want war because they can steal more land.

Middle eastern countries should band together and blunt this insanity, but won't because most of them are backwater dictatorships or oil companies disguised as governments. The rest care a lot about how you worship muhammad and won't work with their neighbors because they don't love muhhammad the right way. Fucking nightmare.

Also time for US/partners to stop funding genocide. Funny how israel "defense" ministers are making a bunch of comments on israels actions while their fighting looks a lot like offensive / genocide operations.

Star Citizen 1.0 'Twinkles on the Horizon', Dev Says — 12 Years and $669 Million Later

Funny to see this here, I actually played this last night for the first time in a year. I have a friend who is a diehard and wanted to play so I finally gave in as he's played helldiver's with me a number of times recently.

Anywho, the game is still unoptimized and buggy as shit. We did some new mission where you fly to the same base you've seen 5k times and take an elevator underground then you attempt to upload data while servers are overheating for some reason, and NPCs randomly spawn in elevators. Glitched out getting on the elevator and fell through the floor, adds spawning in elevators would just sit there and do nothing staring at the wall until you shot them. Got killed once, did not respawn in the ship as I had tied my identity to the bed - instead spawned back at my origin base - later found my dead body under the med bed in the ship. Enemy NPCs rubber banging all over the place, so we're my buddy and I the net code clearly has major issues. Tried to pickup a container at one point and for some reason that injured me. The inventory system to loot guys is difficult to use / buggy as all hell. The same terrible interaction system where you hold F and use mouse to interact with things is ridiculously janky. The star navigation system is the same broke crap I remember from years ago, you can never smoothly set destination or even find the destination you want to go for. They've changed the flight controls for the 578th time for no reason. NPCs in my home spawn were walking into walls and glitching on stairs. I could go on.

Still no news on Squadron 42, still no firm release date, no new significant content in years (except ship sales!!!!), pyro still not playable for non bootlickers, no jump gates, all the ground bases look exactly the same, no compelling gameplay loops you shoot shit in space jousting or you go to one of 700 identical basses on the ground to pickup boxes or shoot laggy NPCs. There is no "game" here it drives like crap for a project over a decade in the making with that much money wasted. I have no idea why people are still "playing" it, and no idea why so many continue to throw money at it.
