Apes with machine guns are frightening. Apes with refineries are terrifying.

You forgot the most ridiculous part of the E. Jean Carroll story, which was the extending of the statute of limitations to allow her to file her complaint, and then promptly shutting the window right back down. That totally created the appearance of above board behavior by the NY legislature.

For once we have a Pope who is aware of tech related concerns. Christian or not, "We must be vigilant in order to ensure that technology does not replace human beings" is pretty relevant.
Correction, for once we have a Pope who shares your views on technology. I am pretty sure when previous Pope's were discussing Geocentric vs Heliocentric views of the universe or the evils of the crossbow or rifling of gun barrels, those were "tech related" concerns.

The funny thing is China couldn't be further from communism if they tried. I mean they literally have a private fucking healthcare system. And they have a fully capitalist economy. Just because the state intervenes does not make it communist.
Ah, here it is, the "No true Scotsman" fallacy of Communism. So close to almost accepting that Communism doesn't work. Oh well, if the state owns 99% of the means of production is that communist? What if it owns 66%, or 51%? How little does the state's share of the means of production have to be and still called communist?

We should have let consumers choose. Because consumers were atmosphere chemist experts. We should also let consumers choose at the hospital what they need because they're doctors. Ad nauseam....
Using this logic, we shouldn't let people decide their leaders b/c they aren't policy experts. We should not let poor people have money, b/c they make bad decisions, this leads to a pretty horrific future real quick, tovarish.

Hello, I am going to need you to square the circle of "Wokeness" or what was referred to as "politically correct" is not why comedies die.
With Like the reason why a lot of comedies of the 80's get "couldn't be made today" is directly related to a culture of the time that didn't see racism and sexism as a problem. Now it is,

Not quite. It's more that the airlines' business model is, oddly, no longer centered on actually providing travel: the loyalty partnerships they have with credit card companies are now more profitable than the airline operations.
A similar trend happened with the big 3 just before the '08 banking crisis. They made more money financing vehicles rather than building them. Same problem GE had, they started chasing profits by becoming a bank instead of a manufacturing company. It's like the old adage of "all software feature creeps until it can read email, or gets absorbed by software that does," for big business, it's "all businesses expand until they become a bank or get bought by company that already did."

A huge issue with the DragonAge game was that they spent a massive amount of development time trying to turn it into a 'live service' game, then pivoted to a classical single-player experience. Putting the sociopolitical messaging aside (and whether it was 'real' or 'perceived'), a development cycle that completely pivots that sort of underlying, fundamental paradigm shift is going to undo a massive amount of development work...and EA still found it necessary to have the devs do a bunch of last minute 'crunch' and 'ship now patch later'...which meant that the early reviews reflected some of the rough edges, and then the sociopolitical messaging accusations at the height of "anti-woke" sentiment was just the icing on the cake...and thus, the flop.
You are half right with "development hell" being a problem, Inquistion came out in 2014 and it took a decade for the sequel to come out. Now I loved Origins, enjoyed Awakening, tolerated II, and enjoyed Inquistion again. However 10 years is a long time, and Veilguard looked contra to everything the previous Dragon Age titles stood for. The characters were annoying, the combat was very dumbed down, there seemed to be no meaningful choices or even the appearance of important choices, other than ignore your companions and they all die in the end(spoiler). As you mentioned BG3 came out and really set the bar for what a cRPG could be, so Veilguard looks even worse in comparison. The gender politics being shoe-horned in was just the chipotle aioli on the shit sandwich that was DA:Veilguard. Hell 5 years ago when it changed from kill the dread wolf in Tevinter to whatever this was(I guess they wanted to reset the world and start over again, only reason to destroy the country you spent all of Origins trying to save[again, spoiler]). Hell, I'm surprised this game didn't become a card draft auto-battler or a MOBA.

You say Zionist, he says Klan. What's the difference?
As of this post 0,flamebait vs 4 insightful(don't ever change Kosdot, don't ever change. LUL)

Anything can be taxed. Anything.
Well, almost anything, not poll access, but otherwise you are correct. Thanks Obama

Yes, b/c it states that in by a 2:1 margin people would rather kill themselves rather than others with a gun. Now, if you are on an anti-gun rant, you'll not want to look at a country with notoriously strict gun laws like say Japan, and then compare their suicide rates. If you want to make a mental health crisis argument, then perhaps homocide vs suicide would be worth considering. To quote your namesake, "Would you rather those people be pushed out of windows?"

My favorite example was a case where Joe Biden was taking a question from somebody off camera and multiple news outlets reported that as him staring off into the distance. He was just looking at a person that wasn't on camera waiting for them to finish their question.
My favorite example of the opposite was when the world acted like Trump was mad for dumping the fish food at the Koi pond, and then we saw the footage of his host doing the exact same thing. Of course you can claim that JRB was in sound mind and body, but there's several million voters who saw his debate performance, and beg to differ. Then there's Jake Tapper's book where he(ironic given his part in said cover-up)lays out how the media failed to report Biden's decline. But yeah, score the parent post +3 for Kosdot.

Woke bullshit has a chance to go viral, so it gets put in. Its not to push an agenda
Nope, there was definitely activism, pale and male is stale, was not a mantra for going viral it was about replacing existing heroes with "new less problematic" versions. So Hawkeye gets replaced by Kate Bishop, Iron Man gets replaced by Iron Heart(lul), Capt. America gets replaced with Falcon, Hulk gets replaced by She-Hulk. Thor gets replaced by "The Mighty" Thor. As South Park pointed out, put a chick in it, and make her lame and gay.

You've forgotten about the delayed response from delayed transportation (tariffs), and reduced agricultural production (ICE raids). If an economist isn't warning you about an upcoming recession, they are huffing bronzer farts.
Yeah, the economists have warned me about 15 of the last nine recessions. You delightful crypto-trotskiites really should change up your messaging.

Candidate A: hardworking successful and respected prosecutor, Senator, and Vice President. Exemplary record of promoting health care, voting rights, and reducing gun violence and crime. Full understanding and adherence to the rule of law. Well educated. Articulate as a court officer should be.
I am sorry but Wille Brown's comare, was many things and articulate was not one of them, don't forget she got exactly 0 votes in the 2016 primary b/c she dropped out before a single vote was cast. And the exemplary record? What of lying, and just being a terrible person to work for? Finally if this candidate was/is so great where are they now? After all Hillary lost, and she didn't just disappear from public life.
