So as a total non-expert - isn’t that kind of what you’d expect from overclocking the old one? A bit more wattage used for a bit more power?

You might, Sony seems pretty open to PC releases these days

So your argument is that because some of their members able to go on and succeed, that somehow means the regime and country weren’t subject to harsh punishments after all?

As I said in another thread: the Nazis absolutely paid the price - they were subjected to war crimes trials, had their regime disassembled, and their country carved up and occupied by the allied powers for decades. How is that not a heavy price?

Meanwhile the USSR was subjected to nothing of the sort - it was actually the opposite, they were allowed to keep and drain the resources of all their conquored territories (even those unrelated to the Nazi regime).

Sorry but you really need to do more learning. It is absolutely not apologia, it’s the facts - the Nazis paid the price by being subjected to war crimes trials, having their regime disassembled, and their country carved up and occupied by the allied powers for decades. USSR was subjected to nothing of the sort - it was actually the opposite, they were allowed to keep and drain the resources of all their conquored territories (even those unrelated to the Nazi regime).

Yeah it was terrible is true that they had millions of war dead. But that doesn’t forgive the endless atrocities they committed, no matter the number.

Yeah they fought the Nazis - but first they made a deal with the Nazis to divide eastern Europe and went on a campaign of rape and plunder. You should look into the atrocities committed by the USSR during the 20th century - Germany paid a heavy price for their evils. Russia never did.

She’s such a hero. I’m really inspired by her bravery and mindset. She said in a NYT interview:

“I had a feeling that there were people watching what was happening and wondering, Was anyone going to say anything?” she explained quietly in an interview on Tuesday night. “Was anyone going to say anything about the turn the country’s taking?”

That should be the question to anyone in power - were you not going to say something?

Lol

They leave it because they know it’s better for them to have it up. They remove it and lose power and Dems actually get stuff done and maybe people actually notice which lawmakers care about them.

Of course, as soon as the GOP is arrogant enough to believe they won’t lose power they’ll take it down first thing. Which is more likely today than it ever has been in my life.

Honestly I think this article is completely wrong. I’m convinced modern elections are 100% based on vibes and so better messaging and a better candidate would have meant a great deal.

But to add to that - Trump and his idiot base had been messaging and memeing for four years starting with Covid and masks and then inflation and ‘I did that’ stickers of Biden at the gas pump. Biden had barely done any messaging even up until the point he dropped out which, in the social media era, should be obviously big fucking warning signs of a losing campaign.

EDIT - which is not to say I don’t think the Dems need to change in other ways because they absolutely do.
