He was also incredibly racist and extremely homophobic even before his schizophrenia got bad. I don’t want to play suffering Olympics here but you can suffer from mental health issues and still be an awful person.

Real question, why wouldn’t the win95/xp version satisfy someone? Isn’t it the same thing with simpler graphics?

I mean yeah, the Democratic elite seem to have utter contempt for the party base and just ignore polling. Gaza is the perfect example of this. In the lead up to the election, it was abundantly clear that Kamala’s “policy” (read: doing nothing) towards Gaza was tremendously unpopular with the party base. And they just… Ignored it. There are plenty of people who withheld from voting on that issue alone.

A quote I really like; “with Democrats like these, who needs Republicans”. The party is a total joke right now.

For the life of me, I can’t understand how people think Russia is communist. Like, at least the PRC is nominally communist and describes itself as a communist state (even if it’s not really doing communism).

But Russia? The USSR was dissolved decades ago. The Russian Federation never claimed to be communist. Are these people just stuck in the Cold War?

I’d say the reason the Democrats won’t move left is because the party elite have a lot of donors they’d piss off by actually supporting serious leftist economic policy.

Maybe I’m wrong. Hell, I’d love to be wrong. But I’ve sort of lost hope that the democratic party is ever going to deliver.

I got to see one at a Stellantis exhibition here in the US! Although they won’t be sold here, so IDK why they brought them to a US event. They’re such neat little cars.

Well tbf the reason I’m complaining is that the status quo sucks and isn’t going to get better, even if the Dems sweep next election.

The original Honda Insight from 2001 got 68 highway, 60 city. And it had all the goodies you’d want in a “modern” car like airbags, aircon, heat, 2 relatively roomy seats, etc. Close to the Doodlebug’s best possible mpg with twice the passengers.

Unfortunately, after 20 years of improvement in auto design, material science, etc, the new Honda Insight in 2022 actually has notably worse city /highway mpg from the original, because it’s so much bigger.

I guess my point is all the innovation in the world won’t fix the fundamental problem that people want bigger and bigger cars?
