Either lack of critical thinking or driven by greed.

You get the top to vote for you by ensuring they keep and/or increase their riches. That’s done by immediate things like tax cuts, or other long term strategies like cutting environmental protections and reducing the role of gov’t, allowing businesses to rape the planet and abuse their workforce as hard as possible to increase profits.

As for the rest of his supporters, the “MAGA” crowd, they’re kept in line by keeping them stupid, allowing you to more easily feed them propaganda and influence their emotions to fit your needs. Religion teaches them to be subservient from an early age and take a back seat to a higher power, whether that be god or the charismatic talking head at the alter or on tv, all the while leeching as much money from them as possible without leaving them totally destitute. This helps explain why conservatives/religious turds continue to attack early education (less chance of them learning to think critically and question things), school lunch programs (hinder brain development), libraries (access to other ideas/beliefs), sex education and abortions (keeping those accidental pregnancies from being stopped, thereby ensuring the already uneducated and poor families continue to have kids they cannot support financially and give a good education to). It’s all very sinister when you look at the whole picture. It’s why I detest religion, not so much the concept and practicing of religion, but how evil men have turned it into a weapon, and exploiting the very people they pretend to care about. A lot of the evil they push is all done under the guise of religious beliefs/freedoms.

Sometimes I wonder what it’s like to be this dumb.

Making the exact same character in every game gets old after a while. Also boobs.

Fuck Ubisoft. Fuck major game publishers.

Do you live outside of the US and hate Ubisoft and the direction the games industry is headed towards?

Do you live in the US and have ever ‘owned’ a copy of The Crew from Ubisoft?

Starship Troopers is a good rewatch every few years. I don’t see myself ever having the desire to watch Napoleon again.

My pay is barely enough to get by on, so I’m only going to do the bare minimum to get by at work.

After a decade and a half of “just in case” box saving, I am ready. This is my moment.

Same. The interface looks kinda cool, but the UX is awful, and the story is boring. The biggest reason it doesn’t capture you IMO is you just jump around from place to place instantaneously right from the start and there’s no obvious reason to just go exploring somewhere. In Skyrim you’re literally on foot and the world slowly expands around you and you become interested in it.
