Also most voters have just never thought remotely seriously about policy. “Should we get rid of illegal immigrants? Well, of course; they’re illegal!” There’s nothing deeper than that going on until they start seeing what that actually entails.
Some Dems and pundits overread the significance of Trump's win. They looked at dissatisfaction with the border and discerned a seismic cultural reaction to immigration levels inside the country. The former was real. The latter is a mirage.

Have you ever paid for an in-game Pokémon with real-world money? Have you sold one for cash? Whether that be on places like eBay, or just within fan communities, or as a kid on the playground? Wanna talk about it for a Kotaku story? Hit me up here or at [email protected]! RTs appreciated.

In Super Mario Galaxy, the stars on the letters of the logo spell "u r mr gay", while for the movie it says "he mr gay". This is because you are watching Mario, not playing him.

people who are inundated in PC building don't get that for a lot of people, the prospect of building one is so daunting that it keeps them from playing games on their PC at all.
"why would I ever buy a Steam machine when I can build something stronger" congrats this isn't for you, it's for someone who saw their favorite group of streamers play Peak and wanted a machine that would run it and Marvel Rivals good at an easily digestible price without any fuss.
