Most aren’t expected to, unless it’s your job like Kimmel, SNL, Stewart, Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, etc

It’s just easier to find new content reading material than today’s market in fiction which is disappointingly awful of late.

It’s definitely not 2005 any more.

Idk that anyone working class is. Even the MAGA family members are of the opinion that Luigi is cool.

My closest genetic link, fiscal conservative of yore + 2A, is: I don’t care what they say, I only feel bad for his kids. And then I here about the math, and our mutual love of Star Trek where they say: “the needs of the many…”

Unifying us, through this or any other point, instead of having us rolling around in the mud arguing trans is not what corporate america wants.

They even manage to divide working class on unions and such. But not this.

You could also argue that it’s a very American roots level of civil disobedience that harkens back to the 1770s. So it’s hard for them on multiple levels.

I like the way the Behind the Bastards podcaster explains it. Each journalistic outlet had strengths to certain things and part of learning to consume journalism is knowing what each sources’ strengths or weaknesses are. Or learning to follow specific journalists across platforms.

And some just play to the echo chambering of political parties saying exactly what their reader base wants to hear. It’s good to learn what those are as well.

I didn’t read all of that, but yes, modding. Or just console commands.

Hey, when you started PC gaming with BG and NWN with user crafted modules which continued the adventures for years, you just expect it as basic form for PC games.

The one little game I’ll play on a mini is Scrsbble/Words w/Friends, with ad blocking.

The screen is small.

It’s an old person thing, probably, but I don’t enjoy phone sized screens beyond reading and such. I don’t know how people see an Apple Watch well enough to use it comfortably.

Laptop is fine most days but I really want that desktop screen when I can get it.

I can’t imagine Stellaris or AC or even Pathfinder on a phone or iPad mini sized screen. Like TV, most people aim bigger not smaller. I can still have portable games at 15” instead of 7”.
