Tech, you filthy casual! Where the hell are you these days!? Haven't heard shit from you in years, you go all silent as the grave and a few of us wanna know if you're doing okay and shit. Quit going silent and give a status report or some shit ya buttlog. So, yeah, your boy Shang here, wondering how ye be doing and all.

Oh man, uh...shit, I’m sorry.

I keep having problems getting DWO to run and I’ve kind of just moved on to other games as a result, and I’ve mostly lost interest in Tumblr in full.

Space Station 13′s the shit man.

Thanks for caring though, and sorry for being dead for a while.

this is why the electoral college fucking sucks.

kaayytiee

Without the electoral college, the determining factor of the elections would be California, Chicago and New York just because they have more people concentrated in one area. Our system is the best of the best and the people spoke. I’m hurt as well as most of America but the best thing we can do is keep an open mind, accept, and move on.

So what? Why does it matter if the majority of votes come from one area? If most of the people in the country want one person to be president, then that person should be president. Why should it matter where they’re from?

And that’s not even the reason the college was made in the first place. It was made for 2 reasons. 1. The founding fathers didn’t trust the citizens. They thought the citizens were too uneducated to make a good choice. And 2. It’s easier to count the votes of a small group of people all in one place rather than millions across the country when there’s no cars or internet.

In today’s age, neither of those reasons are valid anymore. There is no good reason for the electoral college to exist. If the majority of people want someone as president, that person should be president.

Here is why the electoral college sucks:

Without the electoral college, every single vote would count exactly the same. No vote anywhere in the country would be worth more than any other vote. Now you may ask, but Raymond, isn’t it like this already?

NO. IT FUCKING IS NOT.

Take Wyoming for example. Wyoming has a population of 584,000 people. They also have 3 electoral college votes. This means that each 194,667 votes is worth one electoral college vote in Wyoming. Now let’s look at California. California has a population of 38.8 million people and 55 electoral college votes. This means that it takes 705,455 votes for each electoral college vote.

A VOTE IN WYOMING IS WORTH 3.5X MORE THAN A VOTE IN CALIFORNIA.

It literally takes 3.5 times more votes to get 1 electoral vote in California than it does in Wyoming. How tf is that fair?

Don’t come in here and tell me how it’s the best system and without it the only determining factor would be certain cities. How does that even make sense? Without it, a vote in New York City is worth the exact same amount as a vote in any other city, or town, regardless of population. I personally would like my vote to count for exactly the same as anyone else. My vote shouldn’t count as less because I live in a more densely populated city.

I do take some small, cold, bitter satisfaction in one thing, and that’s the fact that Trump is going to be absolutely fucking miserable for the next four years.

He’s an entertainer and an attention whore, not a public servant. He wants to be on TV and in front of crowds, not actually working a difficult, grueling, stressful job he can’t opt out of. He’s going to have to sit through SO many meetings, be forced to read SO many briefings, get shoehorned into serious business all day every day, without crowds to perform for, and he’s going to hate Every. Single. Minute.

And then, when he doesn’t deliver on his promises, when he doesn’t build the wall or create jobs or make people rich, when it becomes clear how incompetent and buffoonish he is, the country and all his supporters will turn on him. They’re gonna start blaming him for everything, and those crowds that cheered for him are going to start booing. He’ll be humiliated at every turn, and leave office with the lowest approval rating ever, and he’ll be universally despised.

Because if he’d lost to Hillary, he would have played the martyr forever, called everything rigged, and had a cushy gig on Fox News complaining every day about how he would have done it better. But now he’s going to have to actually WORK, he’s going to be forced to deal with RESPONSIBILITIES, while surrounded by people who hate him and don’t respect him, people vastly more intelligent and competent than him, and he will be exposed as a loser. And then, we’ll fire him. He’ll go down as the worst president in history. And he’ll have no one to blame but himself.

I know this isn’t much against the fear of what’s going to happen, but friends, hear me. We are going to make Donald Trump’s life a living nightmare, and I for one take immense pleasure from that.

Does this mean “Thanks, Trump” is going to be the new “Thanks, Obama”?

He’s also going to learn that, even with Republican majorities in Congress, and even with all that work he will have to presumably put into the job, being the President still isn’t going to be like being a CEO (recall: George W. Bush had a majority in both houses for his first six years, Obama had a majority in both for his first two years).

The things a President wants to get done are not going to happen quickly or easily, if at all. Passing important legislation is complicated and boring and lengthy. Even signed legislation can take a while to be enacted and is then always subject to appeals and challenges (recall the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate ultimately having to go before the Supreme Court).

The Constitution will not allow for a lot of Trump’s more horrific ideas to ever get close to reality (this ACLU piece written before the election breaks it down better than I ever could). His Supreme Court nominee has to be approved. His cabinet members have to be approved. Just about everything needs to be approved. And even with majorities in Congress, that’s far from a swift guarantee.

There are checks and balances. We lived through 8 years of Bush (including those first six I mention), followed by the economy collapsing; there are more vigilant eyes and ears watching now than there have ever been. The likelihood of a Trump administration getting away with shit without a drawn-out, bloody fight is slim. Especially when you remember that he’s facing a civil RICO trial at the end of this month plus numerous more lawsuits that have yet to be settled. Especially when you remember that he has no law degree, no political science degree, and has never held a political office of any kind. Especially when you remember that he lost the popular vote. His cabinet and staff will not be filled with the best and brightest because he alienated so many of them, even in his own party.

And most importantly, one or both of the House and the Senate could be flipped in 2018.

We’re all scared and worried and rightfully so. And the people who voted for Trump are as much a daily threat as Trump himself could hope to be. But this President’s only got two years before his legislative legs can be cut off. Two years from right now.

Learn who your representatives are, at every level. Figure out how to get in touch with them and get in touch with them, repeatedly. Relentlessly. It doesn’t matter if they’re Republican or Democrat or Independent. You don’t have to wait for some terrible Trumpish idea to get going in Congress – you can write to them about restoring the Voting Rights Act or preserving the Affordable Care Act or protecting LGBTQ rights or fighting climate change right now. These people do not have a job without you. You’re younger than them. The future matters more to you. I’ve seen the working life of a Congressman up close and let me tell you: you can reach them (surprisingly easily, actually). You can get through to them. You can put a face to these issues and you never let them forget it. Be relentless. Be memorable. If they ignore you or forget you, you let everybody know about it. We have the platforms to easily and quickly tell others. Let relevant activist groups know. Let the whole fucking world know.

This is the post. This is the one giving me the most hope. This is the one turning most of my sadness (not all, lord knows I will never be rid of all of the sad) in to vindictiveness, into bitter action, into spite. Into action.

Maki’s 896C has strong priority and huge anti-air potential but Nico’s small frame combined with her taunt pose allows her to barely dodge it if timed and positioned correctly. Extremely frustrating and demoralizing for the Maki player, do not attempt this in person unless you want the fight to continue outside of the game.

I kinda ship you and Mars. Is that bad? You my #OTP.

Yes it is bad.

1. I have a boyfriend whom I’m very much in love with.

2. People are allowed to be friends with out any form of interest. Mars is a good friend, if people push this then it’ll only make it uncomfortable for both of us. It’s upsetting to see that people are like “OMGSH A GUY AND GIRL ARE FRIENDS? THEY MUST LIKE EACH OTHER.” I have plenty of other guy friends who I talk to, joke with, be dumb with, that doesn’t mean I should be shipped with them either.

3. I’m not some fictional character. I’m a real person with real feelings, please don’t ship me, and if you do, respect the fact that I’m taken and very happy.

4. On the note of fictional characters, yes I have a cartoon pony sona, but I even have rules that I wouldn’t want her drawn romantically or nsfw with anyone else.

5. Please respect that I’m not fond of this talk and stop.

Thanks.

I can’t say it’s true on this level of people knowing me (or even myself with a girlfriend), but I know exactly what this feels like otherwise.

While I was still in work for the year, some of the machines broke down and we had to take an hour break. Me being me, I broke out my 3ds to pass the time. A girl came by and asked what I was playing (shovel Knight, for those who care) and we talked for a little bit for the rest of the break. After that, any time we saw each other we would wave at each other or if we had the time, exchange conversation. Not even a week passed and I heard from my friend that a rumor was spreading around that we were probably sleeping together.

And I just sat there dumbfounded, like “Seriously? We talk for ten fucking minutes and all of a sudden we’re screwing? Does it really mean that little to the people who work here, or are they really that stupid, or what?”. And it doesn’t really help that he keeps trying to set me up with her, or at least keeps talking about it, and I on the other hand don’t really give a damn. It’s like “Oh, you like video games, she likes video games, you should totally be dating” and I mean what kind of logic is that? We don’t even really play the same thing, it’s literally the only thing I know we have in common, quit playing bloody matchmaker with so little god damn information.

My father took an interest in it too, but it was more along the lines of “at least you’re talking to people” kind of tone. At least, I’m pretty sure it was. At the very least, he wasn’t nearly as suffocating with it.
