All I’m asking for is a bit of fairness in thread titles. It makes this place less welcoming for someone who doesn’t share a certain point of view. I try to treat all sides with respect. All opinions are welcome in my book and healthy debate is a good thing. I don’t think this name calling and...

There’s a certain irony in the fact that the liberals are now the nazis.

Can we please change the name of this thread to something more respectful, regardless of the content inside? Otherwise, in the interest of fairness, the Democratic Party thread should also be renamed something snarky and critical.

There was no widespread fraud in 2020 or 2024. People need to stop with this nonsense. All it does is destabilize peoples’ faith in the electoral process. We are better than this.

Most of us; not all.

I definitely think these are positive changes (though I did enjoy browsing the home page). Anything that simplifies processes while also lowering resource use is definitely a net positive. Has it really been 25 years? Crazy...

Before I moved from PA to ME in June, we removed our mezuzah (Hebrew prayers on a tiny parchment scroll in a decorative case affixed to doorways of Jewish homes) from our doorway as it was attracting some anti-Semitic attention. I haven't bothered to put it back up here in Maine, since it's far...

For those of you worried about RFK Jr. It was pretty obvious that Trump was going to toss him aside as soon as he past the finish line. I expect the same for Musk.

Happy Brothership Day! I'm picking mine up after work. I know the reviews are mixed mainly when compared to the previous games' controls; but I only really played Bowser's Inside Story, and was annoyed by Luigi's controls, so I think I won't have any complaints. Update: Brothership is awesome...

People like me who fail to see the point if you are voting for one of the two big parties. We have it here in Maine and it just seemed pointless to me, even after I researched how it worked while I was standing in the voting booth (I wanted to make sure I wasn't compelled to pick ranked choices...

I really do think that's what it boils down to. Harris turned off a generally active part of her base by backing Israel instead of the Palestinians. Combine that with the fact that she wasn't even properly nominated, and you have a recipe for low voter turnout.

I'm still here. Moved way north. Other than that, same old, same old.

This is why I said that the way she got the nomination likely played a factor in voter turnout.

Thank you for saying this part. I don’t agree with all your statement, but I appreciate your outlook here. I would’ve felt the same way had Harris won. Harris ran an amazing campaign with the cards that she was dealt. Ultimately, I think turnout was against her this time, possibly due the way...

That all does make sense, though not relevant for my voting this term. I'll give it another look in the future.

I was waiting in line when the polls opened. Since I’m new to the area, I just voted my party line and abstained from all ballot questions except for the Maine state flag redesign and all unopposed races where the candidate was of the opposing party. This was my first experience with ranked...

Xander died tonight at 3 years old of an undetected heart issue. I’d post a photo but the site isn’t letting me.

Brilliant Diamond was definitely the right call. The two kids and I are loving it. I think it was a good idea sticking to what they remembered from the 3DS in terms of gameplay style. Once we complete Brilliant Diamond, we will move on to Legends Arceus with all the gameplay changes.

We do have that. Purely for the NES, SNES and Gameboy libraries for me. Edit: Damn, that makes me sound old. It’s almost like I just got reading glasses and turn 45 in a few days…

He is looking for in-game battling with NPC characters, the whole gym system and that jazz. He also wants only blind random wild encounters like he had on his old DS and 3DS. Looks like it’s going to be Brilliant Diamond. Oh well, I never played that generation (or any after gen 1), so it will...
