Fear of difference. “The first appeal of a fascist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders. Thus Ur-Fascism is racist by definition.”

The enemy is both strong and weak. “By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”

Contempt for the weak. “Elitism is a typical aspect of any reactionary ideology.”

Sorry about your experience but I’ve been hearing about his mental/physical health decline since probably the day he was elected. The Trump era has been seemingly hours from over every day for the last ten years.

I’ll believe it’s over when he’s gone.

And, unfortunately, at this point I feel like MAGA is actually bigger than him.

It’s a trailer with one clip of Indy saying this. Them taking offense to this says far more about them than it does about Bethesda or Indiana Jones.

It’s escapism. If it’s not for you, that’s fine.

Is it that bad?

Gonna nitpick here and be pedantic. Regardless of gear ratio, it’s all leg power. Gearing simply allows the rider to go slower, which does allows for a lower required power, but for a longer duration of time. The amount of total energy output is effectively the same.

And these billionaires could still buy a second house in Cabo with a helipad using what is remaining

Important to remember just how much a billion dollars is. Even a billionaire who has only $500m after giving away half would be able to buy a dozen of those properties. A multi-billionaire could potentially buy hundreds of similar properties with money left over. A billion dollars is a TREMENDOUS amount of money.

Emphasis on was. Bro, I don’t care. But people might not be aware that he was fired from SNL as his career was beginning to take off for using the word “chink” which sounds like it would fit most anyone’s definition of cancelled. His career has since recovered, obviously.

I think he was legit cancelled after the Chinese slur incident.

Only by certain definitions. Regardless, not all speculation is investing.

 

Nate Silver, formerly of 538, believes Biden should drop out.

 

I’ve own a half dozen pairs of Allen Edmonds but am wondering if there’s a similar company (American made and sourced) that are better/more comfortable/better value/ etc.

Haven’t bought a pair of shoes in 5+ years so I suspect the market has changed.

 

IO Interactive is the developer responsible for the amazing Hitman series

 

I’ve heard the new OS with the Mesa driver updates will bring significant performance increases but haven’t heard anything recently.

Anyone know of any news?
