I mean shit as an American I have a rising anti american sentiment lol

15 is an arbitrarily long time. I think forcing it to be open sourced upon the companies end of life is the better option

I mean sexualized movies with skimpy ladies and jacked dudes, and smut books are not harmful broadly speaking, so I don't really see why video games would be different.

Not the worst idea, maybe even a good idea, going to be executed horribly, for all the wrong reasons, and will only serve the purpose of lining the pockets of some people and forcing allegiance to the regime.

Idk. Lot of people hoped Luigi would spark a trend and that never materialized. Don't fret too much

AOC is fearing retaliation, justifiably so given her colleagues. Just about anyone else? good. honestly a bit of fear of the masses might do good

I mean D is a powerhouse lol

Well damn. That's some effective magic lol

Switzerland requires training courses and other regulations we don't have have afaik, though not an expert, which likely helps a lot.

America as a non homogenous society, and always has been rife with divisions as well. These divisions easily, even subconsciously stoke fear into people, prompting a bigger draw towards self defense.

Early pioneer spirit also drilled it into the American consciousness. Needed a gun to defend your farm/animals from predators or other people when law enforcement didn't exist or was hours away back in the day. Also leads to guns being in the family, needing back ups, a gun for every able bodied person etc ...

So a big culture of self defense being the only viable defense for much of American history, consistent concerns about the "others" (for a large chunk of time also includes slave revolts), and relatively lax requirements (stemming from the other reasons mentioned) and boom. Crazy gun obsessed culture.

I mean I think it's time to purge the whole govt and try again. The system is clearly broken beyond repair

Woah hold up. That seems like too good of an idea for democrats

Ooh that is one I vehemently disagree with lol. It was a ok movie if it was its own thing, but it wasn't a good star wars movie, it was worse for being in the sequel trilogy as opposed to a stand alone star wars movie, and it was even worse for being the middle of that trilogy. The more context you add the worse it is imo

Fr. America puts a lot of talented students each year and is hugely tech talented. If s company can't find someone for a tech job it's cuz they arent paying a fair wage or have their head so far up their ass almost no real candidate would match their requirements

It was Norman Reedus from Death Stranding 2.

Always has been. Whenever someone says "this is not who we are" they are willfully lying or have had a very poor history education. We can aspire to be better but for all of American history, political violence has been a feature.

Bootstraps people, bootstraps

Yeah the soviet's had enough going on without opening up a second front.

Was always gonna be

...or it's just a clearly blatant ripoff lol

Oh I can only fucking hope. Poetic in just about every possible way
