Well, they can frame it like Don just did, and then everyone would magically "think" the same thing about it.


"Does the President condemn his son's racist language, whoremongering, and drug use??"

.... and other questions the American news media won't be asking. Film at 11.

  1. Hunter Biden is not the president of the United States.
  2. These comments, if they happened, are inexcusable. I'm unaware of any Democrats, not even the current president of the United States, excusing the comments. However, bringing up this story as an act of whataboutism in response to the former president's racism would be a form of excusing racism.
  3. We don't know for sure if any of these alleged comments actually happened. They allegedly came from this "Hunter laptop," which is a story (as far as I'm aware) that hasn't been independently corroborated and has at least some ties to a Russian election disinformation campaign involving fake texts and emails.

Refer to the opening OP and its comparison to how MSM reported on Trump's children. Nobody said it was about your racism either.

The children of the former president willfully waded into the political discourse, and we have evidence of criminal behavior on their part related directly to their father and his presidency. It isn't comparable.

Well, you are comparing it and finding the "differences" that set them apart. Not that I agree or see your "facts" as tangibly functional.

If Hunter was Trump's son, the MSM would be reporting on everything in a different light and you would be making the alternative argument.

Coming into this thread to defend MSM or shield Biden from his responsibility to his son only serves confirmation bias, no matter what side of the argument you are on.

Oh, now you have me curious.

I've got no idea what you're on about now. I meant that Tiffany kept her distance from the administration and was left alone by the media. Whether or not there was dirt to find is anyone's guess.

All I'm going to say is that those texts were likely made while Hunter Biden was still using (which the American people knew about). Assuming all of that is true, that doesn't excuse him from the language he used, and he needs to issue an apology for it. It still doesn't have anything to do with Joe Biden, who was elected despite the fact that the American people knew his son had a 'colorful' past and the fact that his son isn't running the country. So let me say this s-l-o-w-l-y.

Joe Biden is not responsible for the text, speech, and actions for his 51 year old son. Joe Biden will not disown his or distance himself from Hunter because of the deaths of his other children, Beau and Naomi. This is not a cause of concern for the country. The only people making a big deal out of it are stupid Trumpists who have literally nothing better to do.

Regardless of what kind of whataboutism it is, I don't really care about whataboutism.

See, the great thing about a president that doesn't appoint all his family members to positions of power within government is that I don't have to give a fuck about anything they do or say in their private lives. It's completely inconsequential. If Hunter wants to run around yelling the n-word until he gets put in his place, that's his problem. Yet another non-story from the Daily Mail.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
