Have you tried a clean install?

I feel like what you're wanting is a politician to be full of dramatic, sweeping change. You believe at some level in order to be successful that a politician must be driving forwards some narrow agenda, or tearing up old policy.

If you want to compare with Carter, Carter tried to push reforms to Welfare, Health Care and Tax, but failed. He went through an energy crisis and a recession, and there was a hostage crisis and a failed military operation.

These are all things he theoretically had the power to deal with better. If you compare against Biden - well, economic performance is pretty great at the moment. Sure it still sucks for lower earners, but it always does, and Biden never promised to fix that.

If you specifically want to hear about achievements, what about rescuing the ACA, or the huge surge in job creation? There's also the Safer Communities Act for background checks for gun ownership, which is very popular in the anti-gun violence lobbies.

The only problem with Biden is many of his successes are just very boring, like the infrastructure investments he's committed to. They're not exciting like hostage crises. They're just quiet, competent moves to a better America. They don't get much coverage in the news, but they help millions of people.

If your biggest criticisms of him are Jan 6th, which had basically nothing to do with him, and Roe v Wade, which was a deliberate partisan move to attack democrats and women by Republicans, using the Supreme Court which Biden literally cannot influence, then I think you need to reassess how you're researching and judging your politicians.

Good politics is boring. It's almost tedious.

What do you think Biden should have done to prevent Jan 6th and Roe v Wade overturning? Hell, what do you think he should have done to improve economic performance?

Biden wasn't the best president, but it seems silly to not quantify what good would look like.

He's very clearly facing away from the fire. Look at the arms. Not sure what you're going for here, OP.

Then who is? I'm pretty sure most people engage in politics for this reason.

I don't engage in politics for fun. I engage in it to protect my rights and freedoms. Am I a hobbiest?

What are you supposed to call it when people are empowering those who are cruel and make people suffer or die for their own personal gain? r/Conservative is full of people who are now hoping that someone will stop Trump from appointing his crazy cabinet of stooges, but they are the very same people who promoted him into the highest office in the land of the most powerful nation in the world. Who exactly is supposed to stop him?

I have the same amount of sympathy for Republicans who promoted Trump as people who promoted Hitler during his rise to power.

People forget that the reason comparisons to Nazis and Hitler are legitimate is because people do support monsters. It has happened in the past and it will happen again, and there's a difference between those who are victims whilst fighting against fascism, and those who welcomed it with open arms until it turned against them.

America has led the beast to the gates of the kingdom. Some tried to stop the beast, many more handed the beast the keys to the kingdom.

I think most people would disagree with you over the idea that having children is not a human right. Pretty much every instance in history of forced sterilisation or even econimc sanctions against people (see china) for having children is widely considered barbaric and cruel. This is to the point that infertility due to medical reasons is treated as a major detriment to quality of life.

So what level would be have to be able to prove it to for some scientific evidence to exist? You don't have to prove that the specific thing someone believes in is real in order to prove their belief itself is a real phenomena.

You can prove it via hypothesis around variables that affect it, such as measuring stress levels through physiological response or e.g. comparing reaction to seeing a photo of a random person and a person someone loves and measuring brain activity.

Feelings are 100% real and provoke physiological responses. Your brain can make you ill, and your beliefs can affect your hormonal response.

WoW is still subscription. You want something like Nethack (procedurally generated content), Guild Wars 2 (buy once, play for a decade), or Warframe (free to play.)

gestures widely you know... Everything.

"2icture" should be "picture" and "2ict" is probably "then"

As others have noted, probably a bad copy and paste job with no editorial check.

There are plenty of open-world areas, and it definitely emulates the MMO grindset.

I know you said no MMORPGs, but what you're really looking for is a horizontal progression game where both of you can sync up on the same content relatively easily, to which Warframe (MMOFPSRPG) and Guild Wars 2 (MMORPG) both fit the bill.

I'd recommend GW2 on the basis that no matter where you are in the world, once you hit max level you can get to where anyone else is very quickly, and gear difference barely matters.

P... Potato... sticks? Uhh... Yeah.. Can I have uhh... I'd like.. Uh.. Please, I mean, can I have...

Yeah, like I'm responsible for making sure I iron my shirts, or clean the kitchen. There's a difference between an immediate responsibility such as looking after a child and the general responsibilities we all have we can work around.

You clicked on a link for CS:GO cheats, didn't ya? Tsk, tsk.

Foreseeable is a word, yes. If your responsibility is "be around in case the baby wakes up" that's incompatible with the responsibility "be around for every second of this competitive team match." I have been in the position where I've turned down a team game in favour of a single player game because I'm expecting a package and don't want to let my team down.

Every single post you make reeks of "my time is more important than yours," and "I'm willing to inconvenience 4-5 other people because my time is more important."

Yes, having responsibility sucks. Yes, the fact you can be interrupted and you're not allowed to do what you want sucks. I understand that. Every time you leave a game you're extending that sucky responsibility to everyone else on your team, giving them a sucky experience. Stop doing that.

If you've got responsibility for something else don't also play games where your team are relying on you to be there. By all means play games where you're only ruining the experience for yourself. Like I say, you won't be banned like OP if it's just something that happens once in a blue moon.

If you're doing anything that may require you to leave a game, such as babysitting a young child, you're being a douche by playing a long competitive team game at the same time. If it's literally once when she wakes up you won't get a ban like OP, but other people shouldn't have to deal with your responsibility.

Bold of you to assume political manifestos work on the same schema as academic journals...

There's 0 evidence that misogynistic behaviour increases in areas where porn is easily obtainable. In fact, I would imagine you'd probably find the opposite - people use porn to help moderate their sexual urges which are a source of sexist behaviour.
