Well there are Seattle schools proposing to teach that math education is racist. That it's used to oppress people of color. There's the museum calling science part of the white dominant culture. My point was that even things that are considered absolutely not racist, are now being chipped away at. Things that are rather objective, practical, useful. And things that are impractical and useless are being promoted.

Whatever. I can see I am not going to open anyone's eyes here and it's not appreciated. And I don't want to steer further off topic.

Well with China you could argue that people opposing the CCP are looking to free themselves from a rather compromising and tight grip on their life and words. Even the yellow vests have my sympathy because they are living in a financially nonviable future. Politicians ignore the rich poor divide forever and it cannot keep going that way without the system falling apart. In the USA the people rioting are the ones who'd like to do what? Restrict speech? Abolish the police?

But maybe secret police should not have that power, no matter the context. I don't know if that would hurt their ability to get things done too much.

If you stand there backing the rioters when they destroy things, cheering them on. Then I'm sorry but you are wilfully part of the riot.

IF the Xbox series X or PS5 is sold for $500 USD I could see quite a few PC gamers go console instead. The prices of the graphics cards have gone up to ludicrous heights. Like twice that for just a mid-high tier GPU. Personally I would still prefer PC gaming but it would be hard to justify at some point.

How is it off topic? The topic was about defense spending in the USA. It's kind of important if you are an unstable superpower to at least maintain a good military. (Science is considered racist by some democrats. It's whatever.)

Yes these two + Psychonauts + Fable were the highlights of the show. They were each so colorful and smooth and cool.

Avowed is going to pound Bethesda's butt! Obsidian look to be making the magic and the sword swinging feel like more than moving air around.

@SolidGame_basic: Gaming chairs are always a bad purchase. There is only one exception really in the whole world. And it's a 1500 USD Herman Miller exception (it's not my style though).

You're not wrong. A lot of issues of the USA right now are not even partisan issues. USA should stand united to solve those issues. I bet both democrats and republicans in general want to work together, black or white doesn't matter. I don't know who you would give that money to though, or what places are still OK.

I hope things aren't as bad as I think. I worry about the USA a lot since I followed this election. There's a lot of weird things going on, but maybe that has always been the case in the USA. I always used to say that with a fraction of the military budget the USA could have solved so many problems in society. Housing, infrastructure, social security for those less fortunate. I would like to see that. Just don't let the USA get blown to bits in the mean time.
