And that's a problem. Other countries modernize and improve their political systems. The US clings to archaic institutions like the electoral college.

Ohh, I'd love to play "day of the tentacle" or "Elite dangerous". Thanks for doing this!

Santa Claus is a straight copy of Sinterklaas. Even Wikipedia says so. Also, I don't know any Dutch kids that believe in Santa Claus but a great many believe in Sinterklaas. Santa is not a gift giver here at all. If there are gifts at Christmas (a minority) then it's given by family, not by Santa.

Same. I watched it when it came out on streaming. I liked it, but I can't really remember it.

I go most of those but not Titanfall 2. Thanks for the tip!

Prey is awesome. I recently finished it after getting it in de the summer sale. Highly recommend!

I'm from the EU so I can't vote over there. I just think it's incredibly naïve to want to keep everything legal just because you are worried about overreach from cops or politicians.

You know what? They can already overreach using any of a thousand bad laws. But don't worry. Gambling is big business and the incoming administration is the he most corrupt ever, so nothing will come of this.

I'm about 50 hours into Astroneer. It's pretty fun but I don't see it gripping me for another 50 hours. I'll probsbly finish the main objectives and then clear something else from my Steam backlog

You are, by voting. And getting other people to vote. There is a vast amount of grey between everything being entirely legal and a guns drawn "war on gambling". That's thinking like a teenager who only sees black and white.

It's entirely possible to crack down on gambling without treating every gambler as a dangerous criminal. A ban on gambling advertisement would be a good first step for example.

That's just a stupid take. The problem with the war on drugs is not that drugs are illegal. It's that you treat drug addicts as violent criminals instead of sick people who need help.

Honestly, all their live action adaptions of classic animation have been pretty terrible. But Lion King was one of the worst. It's the lack of facial expressions in the CGI version.
