I’d look, but i dont want a switch 2. Yes, I get it, its a sold out console right now…

Nintendo is going to die a slow painful death bcz of shit like this. I dont know a single person who wants a switch 2.

You responded to me and told me im drinking too much Kool aid…go be a jackass somewhere else. Jesus, blocked.

Yeah, and? This was a conversation about the science. If you want to have a different conversation about how we dont have proper social safety nets, be my guest, and start a different thread elsewhere. You’re just changing the argument bcz you know you’re wrong.

Please, enlighten me on how 50% funding cuts to NASA science budget, and cutting NSF grant funding isn’t an attack on science? I’d also like you to further explain to me with your clearly superior big brain how banning all things considered DEI or climate change related, isn’t an attack on science…

Clearly, you know more about all the interworkings of this stuff than someone who is involved in this shit.

We are literally in the middle of one of the largest wealth transfers in history right now, driven by dipstick billionaires who are frothing and foaming at the mouth at the prospect of screwing this nation out of all scientific progress we’ve made, and you wanna tell me im a fucking sucker.

GTFO with your weak sauce arguments.

Ya am I? Guess all that first hand experience with it must be a lie…

NSF funding cuts, declining enrollment bcz of the ICE crap (people are afraid to come to the U.S.), covid funding issues still being felt, lots of government employees vying for university positions, attacks on science across the board forcing experts to leave the U.S., or go to the private sector. Its bad, and it’ll probably get worse.

Yes, it’s gonna get bad. Jobs in both the private sector, and public sector, universities, etc, we are all feeling the heat right now.

Yes, nobody would be that insane to think otherwise…maybe even a reality TV show type of deal would be cool.

It absolutely is. I’m not denying that.

Yes, but the game industry has faced severe layoffs the last couple years while profits soar ever higher and higher and executives get bigger boats. So it’s relevant.

The last administration didnt try to gut NSF science funding, nasa, our Healthcare, social security, or any of the other dumb crap in the reconciliation bill just passed. If you seriously think the Biden administration was bad, you didnt pay attention. My job, my colleagues jobs are on the line, my partner might lose all funding for her job, my friends are losing their jobs, PBS and NPR facing funding cuts. My grandfather, my uncle, my step father, all potentially losing their disability, social security, etc. People trying to strip us of citizenship, this shit is not normal. The fact that you are trying to equate the two administration’s is fucking disingenuous as fuck.

I’m not even gonna address your points. We are all frustrated with the state of the U.S.

My point was just that the Trump administration is not better than the alternative. We can all agree on that. If you can’t or won’t admit that, then you’re part of the problem.

No it wasn’t. That’s delusional. We’ve been slow walking toward fascism for a while, but it wasn’t just always there.

This isn’t about Gaza. We all know that the situation in Gaza is fucked, and the Biden administration wasn’t friendly to Gaza. I was pissed as hell at their response. But that doesn’t mean bringing fascism home to the U.S. is the solution.

You really think you’re the smart one in every room you’re in dont you?

The Murdochs? Pretty sure people know about them.

Do it! We have gone full psycho over here, and there’s no sign of it stopping!

I’m about to make it one more…
