Just checked in game and he actually does swing with his left. Never noticed until now. Apparently newer games retconned him to be right handed

Finally, some news I don't find concerning

So your evidence is that his grandma said his dad is a republican? Most of my family is republican too, and I'm a socialist. I'm gonna need more than that.

I have seen literally zero evidence he was maga. It is alarming to me how fast people are latching onto that narrative. The confidence with which random strangers speak about him and his mental state is really gross.

Where are the actual sources of this information? Are there police interview transcripts available somewhere? Are there reports about a transcript from reputable sources? So far all I've seen is wild speculation by untrusted sources.

As of now, all I actually know about this guy is that he shot charlie kirk.

CNN recently reported it was in fact a different Tyler Robinson

Yeah guys the radical left "want transgender for everyone"!!

Is this seriously a direct quote from the president?

The details of this are so stupid I don't want to believe it. I don't want to jump straight to conspiracies before I really know much either, but seriously?

Maybe I just imagine political assassins to be more careful and intentional than they really are.

Ok, so now there's gonna be a new top 5 important maga person. And guess what, they're gonna do all the same shit charlie kirk did. None of this is new. These ideologies don't need these specific assholes to spread.

No, I'm sorry. There wasn't anything special about charlie fucking kirk. He was a shithead who spread hate, and now he's a corpse. What is it you think is so special about him? What is his magic gift that no other right wing grifter can replace?

Personally I doubt most of these people are genuinely worried about being harassed by the state for publicizing those beliefs. In some cases maybe they should be worried, but in reality I think most of them are more concerned with social pressures.

If you voice those opinions, hordes of people will attack you for it. And that's a product of both wide spread conservatism influencing real peoples view of the situation, and social media platforms actively crushing dissent and pushing the narrative that aligns with their interests.

In all likelihood my comments, despite being made with no vpn or tor, will never result in any action taken against me. That's simply because I don't pose any material threat to the state or its power. America maintains its illusion of freedom by explicitly allowing dissent, as long as it doesn't have teeth. I am simply not worth the trouble.

Its in moments like these that I really appreciate non corporate social media. Everywhere outside the fediverse all I see is people freaking out, acting like this is the first shooting to ever happen in the united states. Even supposed leftists are just like "I don't agree with the man but no one deserves to get killed over their beliefs".

They seem to have forgotten that people get killed over way dumber shit all the time. Personally I care about all the other shootings a lot more than this one. Especially the school shooting in Colorado that happened the same afternoon, which is being mostly ignored.

There are even lots of comments that condemn anyone making light of his death, or even just making comments about his politics. This dissent they condemn is almost nowhere to be found though, because algorithms bury it all straight to the bottom. The only opinion allowed to be seen is "I'm horrified look at me".

Coming back to a place where a real discussion can be had makes me realize just how important this project really is. We need more spaces that we truly own.

 

I have a spare pc that I am thinking about repurposing for arcade emulation. Preferably I would be using a crt, but hdmi to composite adapters seem to have a lot of issues.

Are there any good options for a GPU with actual composite output, that wouldn't be a massive downgrade in power from my gt 710?

 

A lot of the posts here are just pointing out how illogical religion is, which I don't mind. I'm religious myself, but I'm well aware how ridiculous it is. What does bother me is the arguments against Christianity that are used as arguments against all religions. Most of you were likely raised christian, so I understand why you focus on it, but most religions don't have all of the problems Christianity does. I think a lot of the posts here would fit better in an ex-christian community.
