How many Old Money presidents have there been?

Bill Clinton can get into any country club, any party, and any back room. He can also stop any plane from leaving the ground when he wants to talk to a specific person on the plane. He was basically southern trailer trash when he was coming up.

That is what a fast track to old money benefits with a successful political career looks like.

It is funny that the furthest thing from traditional art - video games - is almost certainly art, yet visual novel games which are closest to traditional novels are pap

Thanks for reminding us. How we do solve the fake news problem and solve illiteracy in America? That is what is bothering me in terms of other people's reality right now.

Why contain it? Let it spill over the schools and churches, let the bodies pile up in the streets. In the end they'll beg us to save them.

Maybe somebody should do something so that Donald J Trump isn't president of the United States in six days?

Literally, it's hilarious you said that. However, nothing matters, so no, no one will lift a finger to prevent a Trump presidency.

Visual novels that are good get upgraded to more traditional forms like movies or series, thus the leftover is pap. Games are their own thing with less clear delineations, meaning that the pap is mixed in and thus people yell a lot more about it

the unique art of video games is in like the mechanics and controls sort o flike how the unique art of film is in the cutting and editing.

Bastion and Transistor tried too hard and were bad

Limbo just tried to be simple and beautiful and succeded and was great and I'd call it art. Certainly while playing it I felt in the same mental mindframe as I am when I am trying to absorb the context and composition of some paintings

It is tough tho. I'd never tell someone they are wrong for believing something is art, but I'd certainly tell them why I disagreed

Given how tense the international political situation is, it is complete lunacy that an ignorant child such as Trump was elected. I can't believe the electoral college is not catching more flak for going against the popular vote.

Anyway, watch the far-right lead the complete descent into fascism, as everyone is distracted by a constant stream of scandals by Trump.

Rest in piss in pisses, US.

So uncomfortably true!
