I know right? The Dreamcast was awesome.

There’s a non-zero chance that Tim Walz still has his VMUs.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They still working though? Battery damage? I can't imagine the next scandal, lol

I found a couple of my old VMUs a while back... Luckily the batteries didn't leak and they worked once i found batteries to try em with! The Dreamcast really was awesome 😌

Pretty sure all my Chaos from Sonic Adventure are long dead by now.

Walz likes video games? Like a third of the entire planet does? What a weirdo, so unrelatable.

188.9 million Americans are gamers. What a stupidly broad attack.

The republicans really, really do hate being called weird, don’t they.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Conservatives value conformity; they think they are 'normal', and that being 'normal' is by definition good. Pointing out how fucking weird they are hits them where it hurts

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

they're trying so hard to turn it around. just listen to anything they say nowadays; it either involves calling democrats or leftists weird, or calling what they do normal.

this is why this word is more potent than anything you could say about them. say they're fascists and draconian, they wear that as a badge of honor. fascists love being feared, fearsomeness is the refuge of the pathetic.

but they can't handle being called weird. the entire conservative mindset is about how a set of nonsense beliefs and traditions are "normal" and everyone who doesn't align with that is degenerate. that's what they're conserving after all, the "normal". once that's turned around and everybody agrees that they're the weird ones they lose their fucking minds.

so now they're trying to call everything the democrats do weird. they're so desperate.

This guy gets it.

They took "deplorable" as a badge of honor because "deplorable" is a term a high school teacher would use to describe the cool kids who smoke and hang out.

"Weird" is a term the cool kids would use to describe Barbie Bible and her farm boy buddies.

I'm really sick of the age thing when it comes to gaming. Tons of middle-aged and older men spend hours watching sportsball every week, but nobody gives them shit.

I was pretty addicted to league and my wife had to give me an ultimatum. It was affecting my sleep and work.

I haven't touched that crack in 8 months.

Wow! They're really struggling to attack him! He's gotta be squeaky clean if this is the best they can do!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I despise Republicans so much. Bro your candidate is a rapist insurrectionist who spent all day in the White House watching TV. Now he's using Twitter's AI to make fake images of himself being popular.

Glad being called "weird" is enraging them this bad, though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No charlie, that's not that weird. In fact it happens all the time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Also there's like good weird and bad weird. This is good weird. Bad weird is having your name on Jeffery Epstein's flight logs.

Walz is the guy who will join your 3 man group in Phantasy Star Online at 2 AM to go take down Dark Falz.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Walz manages to save your quarter from getting stuck behind the frame for the top display of the arcade cabinet, and lets you have next.

If “I was born in the 80s” were a comment…

Tim's also owns:

No stock, bonds, or investments of any kind. No real estate No home! No 401k! He owns literally nothing.

Tim waltz in a financially illiterate scrub. Not exactly someone I have confidence in to help run the economy of even a state, much less the whole country!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

He sold his home when he moved into the Governor's Mansion and has pensions, but do keep trying, it's hilarious.

I think you missed the sarcasm.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nope, the user they responded to appears to be an actual trumpet.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 3 months ago

Just because someone isn't on your political side, you shouldn't jump to the conclusion that they are for the other side. I hate politics in general. It just so happens, on the whole, social media is mainly left of center. Hence, there are more people here spouting ignorant liberal dogma than conservatives spouting their own ignorant dogma.

But seriously, politics is dividing people more than ever, and that is not a good thing! My wish is that people would stop finding their identity in being "left" or "right"

[–] [email protected] -3 points 3 months ago

Keep trying... trying to do what?

Sorry if criticism of a politician makes you feel some sort of way. Every politician needs to be criticized. Lemme lay something out.

Tim waltz (and family) finances. Facts: Tim owns no stock, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs. He owns no real estate, investment property, or otherwise (neither does his wife). He also has no 401k, IRA, or any retirement fund. His net worth is estimated to be 115,000$ to 330,000$. All this is not great, considering he's 60(ish?) nearing retirement. the average net worth for congresspeople and senators is around $1 million. His only legitimate source of income is his pension.

Pros or cons, we can decide for ourselves if all this makes him a better candidate for VP or not. We can make some assumptions, and one assumption I can make is that waltz personally seems to be financially ignorant.

There are other pros and cons about Waltz, but as far as finances, Tim Waltz is a scrub. And I think that these facts are very important when considering electing him into a position where he's at the controls for financial decisions for an ENTIRE country... whatever side you lean toward, all this should be concerning.
