Biden was great, so many people will not see the impact he had. I'll say this, the best government is the one that helps just enough, and generally stays out of the way. Trump sure isn't doing this. (-18)

for what? this motherlover is going to be looked at less favorably than james buchanan for the immediate consequences of his presidency (180)

Wrong. Biden did A LOT of awesome shit. (-24)

Thank you for...? What exactly? Being so terrible we ended up with a fascist in power? Being unable to beat an adjudicated male feminist business fraud billionaire robber baron felon? Neoliberals don't deserve any praise. They failed to deliver people's basic needs, and now we're going to find out how low the US can stoop. (0)

Frick Joe Biden and frick the Democrats in general. I have voted for them consistently and consistently I've been left wanting. The democrats have no backbone. They have no will to fight. They've coasted for decades by being "the rational adult" in the room while the Republicans go further and further into the most insane levels of theocratic fascism seen since the 19fricking30s.Frick the Democrats, frick their decorum, and frick Joe Biden for being a worthless sack of bones in general. My lifespan just got statistically shortened by four fricking years because of this flaccid do-nothing excuse for a party. (0)

For what? (582)

He really let us down. Yes, I do think Biden's presidency overall was beneficial for the middle class, but he failed us where it mattered most—holding the previous administration accountable. The appointment of Merick Garland alone was a failure. Throw in his 180 in being a one term President, his administration hiding his mental decline, his disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal (I'm a veteran of that war, that one hurt), and his failure to exit the race in a timely manner all allowed Trump to win and put us in a position to collapse as a nation.Biden did a lot of good, but his failures far outweigh his successes in my opinion. I'm a democrat for what it's worth. (281)

!bookworms to discuss the 4th chapter of our book club choice Petersburg. I'm delayed and still in the middle of chapter 4 so I'll post on the following days or catch up by the next thread like I did last week.

Do you guys think Nikolai Apollonovich is like that because of inceldom?

I resigned from xAI tonight.
It makes me very sad, but was the right thing to do -- and here's why.

xAI told me I either had to delete the post quoted below, or face being fired.

After reviewing everything and thinking a lot, I've decided that I'm not going to delete the post… https://t.co/8egdL0c8gc

Hunter Biden reportedly 'commandeered' the White House after Biden's disastrous debate with Trump:

Lindy Li: "After the debate, Hunter basically commandeered the White House. He sat in on all of the White House top level meetings. We had a former cocaine addict sitting in on the most sensitive meetings of the most consequential and most important government in world history. Does that sit right with you?"

Shawn Ryan: "No."

Li: "Without security clearance mind you. That's basically who was running the show.

Hunter basically batten down the hatches after the debate to make sure his father would only receive intel he pre-approved."

The Biden administration makes a lot more sense if you view it through the prism of 'The brains of the operation was on crack'

Stay woke

So I fricked up and booked my hotel for the same Friday in May instead of tonight. I still got a room, but it's going to be $800/night instead of $350/night like I'd planned. That really sucks.

feel like that moment has well and truly passed, everyone I know has increased their meat consumption and takes collagen peptides now

haha this makes me uncomfortable

Go back to tinder ham planet.

...

Can't get even poorer than Cambodia.

Seems like a pretty racist statement. Are you against relationships that happen between countries? Next you'll say racemixing is bad for society.

Can't tell if this dudes baiting or not

You don't know how to read between the lines. The word poor would associate with economic status or money to break it down for you. Money. Understand? You probably still don't understand. Cambodia is poor in relative to the United States in terms of what their money can get around the world. As another person stated on here, "She speaks USD." There is only one race. It's the human race.

Figures you'd go to Cambodia to find a girl willing to settle for you while also satisfying your racial and ageplay kinks.

It's a popular destination for s*x tourists (particularly ones interested in minors).

Cry more

Anyone who responds with a snarl to concerns about paedophilia is probably a paedophile.

And saying "cry more" in a sub designed for men to sob over how lonely and unattractive they feel is just peak irony.

And saying anything genuine in response to a "cry more" comment is fricking r-slurred.

Not a ton of drama and reddit flame wars are pretty neutered and lame these days but this is one of my favorite subreddits to watch.

its over

hn

in its time as one of the deadest( but best) esports of all time, competitive tf2 has had numerous dramas, some funnier than others. most of these are libertarian drama. one notable one occurred back in 2016

b4nny

Grant "B4nny" Vincent is the most successful competitive tf2 player of all time, having at least 30 tournament wins, 4 international tournament wins and numerous other meaningless trophies for his collection since 2008, racking up over 28,000 hours in the game. (no seriously) He is notable for being perhaps the only tf2 player to have made a career from streaming and for his enormous ego, creating numerous moments of hilarity.

(there will be more.)

one of b4nny's most redeeming traits (at least in the past) remains his penchant for tweeting.

his tweet game was so prolific that there is a 15 page thread on the main competitive tf2 forum compiling people's favorites

https://www.teamfortress.tv/32408/favorite-b4nny-tweet

some of these have caused immense seethe.

some of my favourites include:

(ok, this one is pretty funny, hes making fun of someone for not going to lan because of school or something lol)

despite his mastermind X antics b4nny has had a rough relationship with the community through the years.

initially starting off well liked, something seemed to snap in b4nny's heart, turning it cold.

maybe this was when he got cucked by his teammate and continued to play with him after finding out because he loves winning that much. Maybe it was his own teammate leaving mid-playoffs match due to him insisting on swapping the team's roles around for some reason, causing his team to get upset, get 3rd place (up to this point b4nny hadnt been either 1st or second in the top division for 4 years!) and disband immediately after. This also happened again like 7 years later but thats a different story.

B4nny immediately rebuilt his team with new up and coming players (including some who would go on to play in theoverwatch league (lolll)

all was well in b4nny's camp. He had recently met his funding goal to attend the 2016 international lan hosted in some shithole in england idk lol

one fateful day, b4nny decided to beat his liver and stream drunk. Clearly intoxicated, b4nny streamed on. meanwhile an up and coming top european player by the name of thalash decided to do some trolling by insinuating that b4nny was getting carried by his now ex-teammate who had cucked him in the past. B4nny's ego, already more inflated than the hindenburg (RIp crodies) reached nuclear meltdown levels. how dare a player who has never gone to LAN talk down on me like this!

b4nny also has a bizarre half-joking hatred for european players, berating their playstyle constantly for being slow and boring (true)

these factors lead to b4nny going on a legendary drunken tangent raving about europeans, accolades and how thalash is the equivalent of what someone might call a plumber or taxi driver driver in the UFC.

the most notable part of this autism fueled rant is b4nny's legendary statement that he requests his new found foe utter when he loses to him on lan(0:33 seconds in video 1 :) )

im sorry im not good i apologize for my ego please forgive me, im just europeean.

uh oh!

this sparks huge drama in the community, with some pointing out that thalash was provoking an obviously deathly drunk b4nny while others laughed at his ego about an already small esport.

august 26, 2016

b4nny has arrived in europe with his team to smite the europeeans once and for all.

[lUPS7b3.jpg]

at his sexiest, he is ready to take the win and prove why blumpfkenstiltskin needs to stop giving aid to twink european panhandlers.

can you guess what happens?

[shhdhdh.PNG]

[fgfg.PNG]

b4nny loses, becoming a laughing stock and likely killing some hobo in retaliation (he lived in la).

b4nny later returns to his uncrushable winning ways, winning every single major tournament in NA until 2021 and eventually getting his getback on thalash in 2018 and 2019 at lan, one being in NA one being in ingerland.

b4nny still plays to this day. i think despite his insufferable ego, its quite impressive hes been able to dedicate himself to this without roping or moving on to another esport. hes clearly a talented team leader and team builder.

ill probably never post again on this site but theres so much funny drama from this esport holy shit lol

Reddit is basically dead when it comes to fighting and general chaos, save for one sided seethe threads.

But I can't for the life of me figure out how to start seeing shit on twitter. Do I have to actually engage with twitter microcelebs because holy shit that's way too much work.

THANKS FOR PLAYING EVERYONE

As you can see, this week we will do the usual Sat & Sun crosswords, then our special drama-themed crossword made by @ShriekingGeek , then we will do a Sunday NY Times crossword from 2010 which was uploaded this week, and then we will finally end on a cryptic crossword printed last year in The NY Times and uploaded this week, which was fortunate for us since we are going to start adding some cryptic crosswords to line up.

If you are not familiar with cryptic crosswords, I highly recommend you familiarize yourself with how they work if you want to help us solve them. Otherwise, the clues will look like gibberish. Here is a guide from The New Yorker:
