You see, to the World's leaders the fact the American President is a notorious child rapist is no big fucking deal, it won't prevent them shaking his hand, smiling and being pleasant with him....and it's in that way that they show they are really not like the rest of us.
Lesser, in fact.

With all the news you hear from Washington, don't forget: DC is FLOODED with protesters, thanks to the valiant organizers who've been putting themselves out there and getting people to DC for months. They're staying until the regime falls.
It is only one factor in all this but it's a big one. All these cowards in DC have no choice but to face giant, angry crowds throughout the city.
Not one iota of this crap is getting swept under the rug.

Valve isn’t talking about Steam Deck 2 because the right chip doesn’t exist.
IGN’s Wesley Yin-Poole has an excellent interview with Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais and Yazan Aldehayyat, including one reason why they have no news about Steam Deck 2. It’s because yet again, the promised “generational leap” in performance is not yet possible. They haven’t found the right chip.
Griffais says:
“We’re not interested in getting to a point where it’s 20 or 30 or even 50% more performance at the same battery life. We want something a little bit more demarcated than that.”

Can computers kill? Think how crazy a concept that was in 1964, huh. Nowadays computers convince people to commit suicide on a daily basis and we just shrug.
