Is anyone else surprised that only 2 in 3 MAGA voters say that they would support a candidate accused of sexual assault?

I'm not sure if I expected it to be higher because clearly 100% of them do, or lower because falsehood is the lifeblood of MAGA

Orb of Creation 1.0 feels AI coded despite the dev claiming it's not

Here's one example of why.

OoC has an 'agronomancy' system that is basically just farming plots of land with different plants. But instead of going with the normal, tactile, obvious system of farming like many incremental games do with 2D isometric or orthogonal tiles, (eg the much better All hail the Orb) it does some weird spreadsheet simulator version of that with tiny cool down icons and a progress bar of how many plots you have free, overall much more obtuse and difficult to comprehend.

And I guess that fits the games overall aesthetic of being an obtuse spreadsheet simulator.

However...and this is the part that baffles me and points to it being done by hallucinating AI... When you are building a workshop, something you only ever do once, you place the workshop by clicking on an isometric tile that the mage has created in space. You only do this once and the workshop becomes another spreadsheet simulator menu-in-a-menu like the rest of the games clunky UI. But its still exactly the sort of interface you'd use for a farming mechanic.

This it points to a level of random 'no human would bother coding this for one interaction especially not when another much more obvious place to use it exists.'

OoC has been an incredible disappointment to me, and part of the reason is that compared to the original, it just feels like a bunch of half assed ideas tacked on by vibe coding in the last month, vs the 2-3 years the dev was claiming to work on it.

How are oil prices where they're at now?

I don't get it. It's obvious Iran is going to close the strait again, and we're going back to war. The Trump admin can't do anything in good faith, the MOU is BS, and reserves haven't exactly had a chance to recover.

So what are traders seeing that we don't? Because prices are down to pre war levels afaict, doesn't seem to be any risk priced in at all.

Despite the Iran war being an awful thing, anyone else enjoying seeing Trump caught in a vice between Israel and Iran and trying to squirm his orange greasy way out?

Should the GOP be renamed to the "Useful Idiots" party?

Between being tools for the pedophile billionaires, the Israelis, and the Russians, it seems that MAGAs biggest trait is thier guillible hatefulness.

These are the same tea party morons who thought they were draining the swamp, and they've turned the whole country into a swamp. Now they're proudly in favor of Trump's overt corruption.

These sad sack sheep are always so butthurt that Democrats look down on them for being morally decayed and mentally challenged, I wonder if they should just wear there stupidity proudly on their sleeves.

Hey MAGA that have portfolios, how do you feel about Trump stealing from you with all his insider trading?

You do know that insider trading is basically stealing from the stock market right? The money doesn't come from thin air. I know MAGA isn't very bright but I hear they're really obsessed with criminals that steal from them.

Edit: to those morons who don't know how markets work, insider trading is absolutely theft. The stock market is akin to gambling on the future of an asset. If I bet with you that something is going up and you bet the opposite, that's what buying a stock is. If I know that asset is going up or can force it to go up through market manipulation, that is me stealing from you

Just because the theft is distributed across the market rather than personal, doesnt stop.making it theft. You're just too dumb to realize it.

Hey MAGA, how does it feel watching Trump make threats against Iran all day, only to TACO out about it all in less than 24 hours?

It's hilarious the entire Republican Congress is scared of this demented old ranting nutjob.

He is the epitomy of a cry bully. But Republicans are so spineless and the MAGA base is so guillible you think he's a tough guy.

Why do independents (possibly fake trolls?) always seem to hold Democrats to an infinitely higher standard than Republicans?

I've heard so many variations of the fake both sides argument it's sickening. The level of vileness, corruption, distaste for anyone that isn't a billionaire and cowardice in the face of a geriatric wannabe dictator by Republicans is so much worse than anything the Democrats do.

Are Democrats perfect? Hell no, far from it. But by constantly flip.flopping and excusing the worst behaviour of Republicans, you never demonstrate that what matters is more integrity, you just demonstrate that you can't decide between stale bread and rotten garbage, and make sure the rotten garbage keeps getting more rotten every cycle.

Edit:

If you want to see the sort of insanity an 'independent' can come up with while arguing BoTh SiDeS look no further than this guy's comments on this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/allthequestions/s/5UkiTUfkme

Oh and of course they're active in r/conservative. Such an independent.

Has the rise of MAGA caused you to lose faith in humanity?

That so many Americans are this misguided, selfish, and guillible, so far from what our forefathers wanted and fought for, so ready to throw democracy and American values in the toilet because they're in a cult of personality to a man who isn't even charming or likeable, who speaks like a kindergarten bully crossed with a geriatric egomaniac. Becuse their hatred of immigrants or trans people or just 'the other' is so deep

It just sickens me.

Hey MAGA, how's it feel that Trump is letting in 500,000 Chinese exchange students after he made a big show blocking exchange students last year?

Really seems like Xi made Trump his bitch the last few days - of course it's just sloppy thirds after Putin and Netanyahu

Hey MAGA, how do you like Trump supporting China buying up US farmland after he helped bankrupt so many farmers with his dumb tariffs? It's cool because Daddy Trump said so, right?

Hey MAGA how do you feel about Trump wanting to spend $10B on beautifying DC with his gaudy gold crap, while spending $2B on the rest of the. Rational parks in the entire country?

And apparently that doesn't even include the funds to pay for his dumb victory arch idea.

That's some North Korea dictator style fund allocation there. Spend it all on the place the dictator sees, none anywhere else.

Could this visit to China by Trump be any more humiliating for him and the US?

Has to drag his diseased ass to Beijing, when Xi came to Washington to meet Obama and Biden.

He went begging for assistance on Hormuz and farm trade and got nothing, but our tech CEOs went over there making deals to sell chips we used to consider a strategic asset.

Got told the US is a declining power, but it whooshed over his head cause he doesn't know shit.

Strutted around trying to be Xi's friend, dumping praise on him like he wanted to fuck him - above and beyond even his standard dick sucking of dictators.

And got a gift of rose seeds as his parting gift... With the Chinese knowing he tore out the rose garden. No golden knickknack that he can put on his desk to show what big pals they are, just some seeds to remind him he only kills, never grows anything.

Plus he's gonna be dead before they even bloomed at the rate he's deteriorating.

I'm sad for the US, but at least Trump didn't sell out Taiwan for some magic beans, (that we know) so it went better than expected.

Does anyone think President Cognitive Test knows what the Thucydides Trap is when Xi Jing Ping mentioned it?

I'm guessing that he probably thought it had something to do with fembois, considering how obsessed MAGA is with trans people and porn.
