For me who started gaming the early rad 80s, it is the lack of resources like time, interest, energy, etc. I just play quick games when I can. I have lots of old games that I got for free from giveaways and others. Why bother paying?

Very good analysis. And he did modulate some rather draconian "bathroom bills." I can't help but wonder how many Democrats are actually registered as GOP so they can help keep him in office!! - past the "caucus system"!
Good on them!

The demographic that helped put Trump into office was actually Hispanics. Do you think they cared if his opponent was black or not? Or the fact that his opponent came off as a clown that only cared about abortion as the single greatest issue facing the nation?? Or that "new arrivals" were taking the very jobs that they work at?
I'm pretty sure there's a list of reasons where race was not a primary factor. Not to mention that Obama, a black person, was elected president.
When everyone cops out and single mindedly puts their scapegoat excuses front and center, 'demented' people who actually vote will continue to vote for the 'wrong' person.

The dementia reaches across party lines. The GOP is insufferable in some areas, but the question needs to be asked "exactly how did they get elected?" The reason is a person who was really suffering from dementia wrongly decided they could run and win the presidency a second time.
So just keep that in mind when you throw the "demented" word around. Spoken as a political infependent.

Submission + - Elon Musk admits DOGE was a waste of time (and money) (yahoo.com)
echo123 writes: Elon Musk appeared to admit for the first time that his work at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency was a total waste of time—which also destroyed his reputation.
He told Katie Miller, who is married to Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, that he would not take the controversial post in Washington, D.C., if he had his time over again.
“I think instead of doing DOGE, I would have basically built—worked on my companies, essentially," he told The Katie Miller Podcast.
“If you could go back and start from scratch like it’s January 20th all again, would you go back and do it differently? And, knowing what you know now, do you think there’s ever a place to restart?”
After a deep sigh, Elon Musk, 54, replied, “I mean, no, I don’t think so.”
“You gave up a lot to DOGE,” she said.
“Yeah,” he conceded, sadly.
DOGE oversaw a $220 billion jump in federal spending—not including interest—in the fiscal year, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Submission + - Cats Meow More Than Twice as Much at Men, And We Can Only Guess Why (sciencealert.com) 1
alternative_right writes: "Our results showed that cats vocalized more frequently toward male caregivers, while no other demographic factor had a discernible effect on the frequency or duration of greetings," write the researchers in their published paper.
A total of 22 different behavior types were looked at by the researchers, including yawning (often a sign of cat stress) and food-related behaviors (including heading to their food bowl). The vocalizations were the only behaviors that changed based on the owners' sex.

Hey it's been about 15 years, if you remember me, I'm the #1 Starcraft/Broodwar/Warcraft3 guy.
What you might not know about me is Steve Jobs and Larry Page used my 100+ pages to design the smart phone.
didn't sue them because I was waiting til they became the Surveillance State and they have..
So I showed my designs to Warren Buffet's Lawyers last year and Warren Buffet sold 133$ billion.
Steve Jobs didn't invent the Smart Phone, I did.

In response to revealing to the world in Fall 2024, Apple/Google did not honor me, instead Tim Cook cost his company $833 billion fighting me:
1) Warren Buffet sold $133 billion in stock when his lawyers advised him my designs were indefensible.
2) Open AI cancelled its deal with Apple. $300 billion(future of Apple)

Yes, I chose to not take a hundred million when I was young so I could help the world when I was older. Not many are like me.
