Absurd that pointing guns at people to get fake support would be seen as any more legitimate than just having the soldiers do the fake voting themselves.

Yes, it's not much different from tipping. Puts the burden of responsibility in the wrong place. If a business wants to support charities and use it in marketing, just give money to charities and tell people how much it was. And/or give people the contact details of the charities if you want to promote them.

The biggest state, bigger than many countries. How different can it be from other parts of the same country?

An armed society is a society where people are looking for someone to shoot.

I watched some of the GWB parodies. I never had any interest in watching Trump parodies, and I'd be annoyed to have comedians do them in shows I otherwise liked.

It's not funny anymore, and it wasn't really that fun then, although satire is a valid method of political commentary. But week after week, there's nothing new, nothing that's more shocking than what was already known. They're fully and completely terrible persons, who should never have political power. Don't need to embody them to understand that.

I thought the idea was that Republicans are actively working on destroying what has been working fine and is benefitting lots of people, not just on preventing more progress.

Isn't that the goal for some people in meditation? Nothingness.

It wasn't with no regard. They were deliberately giving minorities power over majorities and splitting ethnic groups with borders to fuel conflicts.

I'd say if we were to abolish libraries, we should abolish copyright as well, because they serve the same purpose. Copyright is an artificial barrier, a social contract to promote sharing ideas and creative works. There's nothing inherent about copyright, it doesn't exist if we don't want it to. So why should we want it to?

While it's sad to see all these games begin to die a slow death, in reality, many of these titles are incredibly old and on last-gen platforms such as Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3.

Yet much older games are still playable without functionality loss.

You don't need upgrades to online services. You need to stop locking down games.

Still seems way overpriced. Doesn't even have name recognition anymore.
