I feel so much safer now.

DHS said in a statement they this was a “whoopsie,” and that he shouldn’t have “acted so foreign.”

“Man, you kidnap one brown guy and people start freaking out. What’s these guys’ problem, anyway?”

You didn’t answer the question, and that’s what I’m really interested in.

How does this make our country better?

Maybe you can help me understand how kicking this kid out makes our country better?

I guess we have different values.

I don’t see it as a moral good to kick someone out of the country if they would make a good citizen. I don’t see it as an economic good to remove a productive member of society. I don’t see how the ongoing ICE campaign to instill fear in our immigrant population is good for our communities.

Just because it’s the law doesn’t make it right.

To make it worse, naturally.

“Land of the free” sounds like satire.

Maybe if the Dems abandon enough vulnerable people to the wolves they’ll finally gain the respect of people who wouldn’t vote for them anyway.

When all you’ve got is a hammer you’ve got to break some eggs or they’ll spoil the bunch.

That’s my point: billionaires are an establishment unto themselves, and they’re already in a cartel to control the US government.

Corey Robin put it better than I can in The Reactionary Mind:

Far from yielding a knee-jerk defense of an unchanging old regime or a thoughtful traditionalism, the reactionary imperative presses conservatism in two rather different directions: first, to a critique and reconfiguration of the old regime; and second, to an absorption of the ideas and tactics of the very revolution or reform it opposes. What conservatism seeks to accomplish through that reconfiguration of the old and absorption of the new is to make privilege popular, to transform a tottering old regime into a dynamic, ideologically coherent movement of the masses. A new old regime, one could say, which brings the energy and dynamism of the street to the antique inequalities of a dilapidated estate.

How anyone can see a billionaire as “anti-establishment” is beyond me.

Musk is so impervious to ego-death that I suspect his will hang around for a few decades after his body.

I think it’s a mistake to believe that everyone has a sense of empathy; there are plenty of people who do not because of their brain meat or their experiences.

I think the closest Musk gets is the desperate and pathetic attempts to get gamers to like him: it makes him crazy that he can’t just buy their respect like he does for everything else that he wants.

People like that genuinely believe that they should be in charge because of who they are. He has absolutely no feelings of guilt about the terrible things that he does; he thinks they’re good because he did them.

Narcissistic megalomaniacs, especially ultra wealthy ones, lose their ability to empathize (or even the ability to mask and pretend) because they quite literally never have to care about how another person feels.

I do think he’s confused as to why people hate him though. He sees himself as a lovable cheeky troll instead of the Nazi dickhead that he clearly is.

Another day in the conservative cinematic universe.

UFO50 is one of the most astonishing pieces of game design I’ve ever seen; its a master class in elegance.

He truly is on a path of exile.

Exactly. If I run over someone going 100 MPH and blasting through traffic lights, it isn’t an error; its a callous disregard for the safety and rights of others for my own agenda.

I completely agree; the buildup and production involved in most RTS games is tedious to me. Close Combat seems like the perfect middle between simulationist war games and RTS chaos. It was actually developed as a Squad Leader game before they lost the Avalon Hill license.

The Combat Mission games were fairly similar, with my favorite feature being a mode where you issue orders in 1 minute increments; you’re watching the battle play out in real time, but it’s still turn based. Edit: Apparently they’re still making these. Here is the one I remember playing most. I still like the Close Combat games better to just jump into though.

The only modern franchise I’ve played that has a similar play style are the Total War games, but I think they realize WWII isn’t a great fit for them.

Why would anyone eat at a restaurant called Robert James Ritchie’s overpriced middling fare?

Is there anything more American than cops burning down an entire black neighborhood to target a few people inside and then getting off scott free due to qualified immunity?
