Rumor: New PlayStation 5 Feature Revealed

Earlier this week, a new patent filed by Sony suggested that it is planning on adding backwards compatibility to the PlayStation 5. Now, another patent has surfaced revealing possibly another feature the system will have.

Filed back in May by Sony Interactive Entertainment, and approved just a few days ago, the patent appears to suggest that hardware V-Sync will ship with the next Sony console.

Titled "Video Frame Rate Compensation Through Adjustment of Vertical Blanking," the patent is pretty extensive, but in short, it should help games run better on the system.

Great, patents for backward compatibility and V-Sync. WTF?

Read this. Fuckin' read it. You want someone with violent tendencies? You want "disasturbation?" You want stone-cold nihilism? Runaway has you covered. Here he is, cheering for megadeaths, wishing horrible demise upon 50 million people he dislikes ("progressives") because he thinks people with brown skin are somehow the privileged class in this country. He also seems to think I'm some kind of unreconstructed Marxist, which is...not only not right, it's not even wrong. I've bolded the especially...telling...parts of this little rant.

Alright then -

A civil war will be uglier than most liberals have ever dreamed. Maybe uglier than the war-happy conservative capitalists have dreamed, as well.

But, it might be better than allowing the progressives to have control. The so-called left is hardly any more left than the R's are, but they are strongly into authoritarianism. That left makes me look silly as hell with my claims of being an authoritarian. The REAL difference between me, and them, is the legitimacy of authority. If I recognize an authority as being legitimate, then I respect it. If I don't recognize an authority as legitimate, I fight it.

Your left wants to create it's own authority by force. There is no legitimacy to either the force, or the authority which they desire. None.

But, if the right stands by, and watches the "left" proceed, it's possible that the progressives could win. Chances are slim, but the possibility exists.

Yes, I'd rather see twenty million dead liberals lying in the streets, than to see their progressive heros taking over this country. And, I'll willingly sacrifice five million dead conservatives and independents to put a stop to the progressives.

The tree of life must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots, from time to time.

And, welcome to reality, where most important decisions by nations are settled by force. As it has been for tens of thousands of years, so it will be for tens of thousands of years into the future.

Have you ever considered the dystopias portrayed in much of science fiction? Have you never imagined one of those dystopias, in which death is preferable to living? The dystopia being offered to us by the progressives is one in which a child can be punished, and branded for life, if he so much as notices that his own skin is not the same color as that of his teacher, or one of his class mates. In this computer age, any "deviant" behaviour will be documented, put into a database, and NEVER forgotten.

Progressives promise a number of things, which I fear, and despise, with their racial inequality ranking high. "People of color" vs "white and Asian". It's already real, it has made it into headlines. Follow that to it's logical conclusion - if you're brown, or black, you get a leg up in education, employment, in everything. If you're white, or Asian, you get shit on, and you're lucky if you can ever get a job cleaning septic tanks, or collecting garbage.

The party, as well as the progressives, have forgotten Martin Luther King, who had a dream. They've abandoned his dream. Today, they don't want equality, they want vengeance.

And, I, for one, am not willing that my grandchildren should be cast into some third-rate citizen role, to make those brown or black people happy. I side with King - my great grandchildren should compete with black, white, brown, and Asian for their place in life. And, the best man/woman for the job should win the job.

Political correctness? I've fought that bullshit since I first heard of it. It was a Soviet construction - if you were in good graces with the party, then you were politically correct. Fuck PC. Seriously, just fuck PC. Progressives promise to enslave my descendants, at the expense of brown and black people. Just fuck them.

Twenty million dead progressives? Make it fifty million - it's all the same to me. A future with slavery in it looks pretty damned bleak, no matter whether it's my descendants, or yours, or whoever's. We had a war, ~150 years ago, over a number of issues, including slavery. Today, "liberals" want to go back and explore slavery. Kill 'em all, and let God sort them out.

The bunch of dumb bastards in charge of the Democrat party need to pull their heads out of their asses, BEFORE they spark that civil war. Once the first few shots are fired, there will be no mercy.

Gawwwwwwwwwd...DAMN. This is what a meltdown looks like. This is what "identity politics" actually is. The man has gone bat-boinking nuts. Okay Runaway, suit up in your Rambo gear, here's an MP3 player with the soundtracks to the entire Contra series on it, here's some MREs, now go and defend your country from those horrible brown people.

Jesus. Jetskiing. CHRIST.

Thank you Kansas, we love Kansas! And thank you @VP Pence, very smart Dem Senators Susan Collins & Joe Manchin & our LOYAL Rep Senators -- I'm so proud of how you all put America First today! Congrats (soon) ASS. JUSTICE BART! VOTE Nov. 6th.! #RedTide https://www.pscp.tv/w/bolO8zFvTlFs...

This ^ should never have happened.

We've registered our son (despite my mis-givings) with the police as moderate to severely autistic, non-verbal, with slight cerebral palsy BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT THINGS LIKE THIS to happen to him (as well as for other reasons, explained below).

The police in Canada seem to be much better trained (or more patient) than in the States, but we don't want anything going wrong for him in any encounters.
He is rarely out of our sight or hearing and we got him a Medic-Alert tag for his running shoes that can point police to his info (supposedly, they are trained to look for tags like this), but registered him with the local police to let them have INSTANT info if he ever did go missing (they won't have to wait for us to get them pictures and info: they will be able to access it from their site).
They will know his name, any nick-names he will respond (possibly) to, how he might react to them, how to get calm him down, that he will probably want to be hugged, etc.

We want him to be trouble free if found by the police (the school has let him run a couple of times but have always caught up to him eventually.... so far).

But what happened in the video above is disgusting. He sprays water at them and they taze him over and over and over and over????
WTF?

If that happened to our son, they would be seeing a VERY expensive court case and disciplinary actions and HELL FIRE RAINED DOWN ON THEM and have their asses plugged with cement if possible.

Never. ever. ever. should. have. happened.

*****
Just read the rest of the story: the down syndrome kid being asphyxiated by police and the other shit.

No charges were laid against the cops who tazed the kid in the shower?

My God.
How do these people go on in their lives.

You win the presidency, in theory you're not supposed to do great in the midterms. Right? We won and we've been working very hard at our agenda of Making America Great Again. But you know what, honestly, with what we've done on jobs, on our Country, on our Military -- we're gonna talk about our veterans, what we've done -- on Energy. Who the hell can beat us, I mean who can beat us? Who can beat us?

One of the Fake News people said recently, and they hated to say it, but that Trump has actually fulfilled MORE PROMISES THAN HE PROMISED. It's true, look what we're doing. 4.2% GDP. Every point is 3.5 trillion dollars and 10 million jobs. And when I took it over, our Country was headed south. We were going down. Instead of 4.2, you'd be at negative. Negative 4.2. Last quarter it was 4.1, it was just adjusted upward to 4.2. And it's going much higher. We've created over 4 million jobs since the election. We've lifted almost 4 million Americans off of food stamps. Wow!! Number 1 we're taking care of people. Number 2 it doesn't cost us anything. We've added nearly, it will soon be 600,000 new manufacturing jobs. We weren't supposed to be adding manufacturing jobs. Companies are pooring back into our Country.

Our Coal Industry is back -- people said it would never happen. We're giving great healthcare. We're in the process of building the strongest military we've ever had -- by far. Wage growth highest in nearly 17 months. USMCA, big victory for our wonderful American Industries & Workers. Lot of praise for that one. So much praise. 45.wh.gov/USMCA

Democrats, they want to end ICE. They want to end a lot of things. Open boarders. Can you believe it? Hey, how would you like this platform? We want open boarders, we want High Taxes, we want Crime -- because basically they're saying, Crime. So they have Crime, they have High Taxes, they have Open Boarders. Oh, and by the way, and we don't want to fund the Military. You have no idea how hard it is to get money for the Military. It's almost impossible. It's like a full-time job. But we got that money, we got a lot of money! If the Democrats got 51 votes in the Senate, they would open our nation's boarders, they would starve our Law Enforcement -- do we love our Law Enforcement? Seriously. I got a tremendous percentage of Law Enforcement vote. But, you know, I think I might have, do I get 100%? Let's say I didn't. Who the hell wouldn't vote for me from Law Enforcement? OK? We've done a lot. We've gotten them a lot of surplus material from the Military. You know, we had all this. We had hundreds of millions of dollars of surplus material. And our previous administration, under no circumstances did they want to give this to Law Enforcement. Because they thought it presented a wrong "image." We gave it out to Law Enforcement. And the Law Enforcement does like us. If you want to stop sanctuary cities -- they're rebelling in California, of all places. If you want to protect communities from really bad, bad crime, then you've got to vote Republican. This election is about security and it's about prosperity. We've done things that nobody can believe.

I will tell you, they did a poll. They call it the Daily Presidential Tracking Poll. Just came out today. Thursday. Overall support, 50%. Look, it's a poll. But we love those polls, don't we? I love polls. Only when they're good. When they're not good, I don't talk about them. But they do a lot of phoney polls. The Fake News Media. They do a lot of polls, they call them suppression polls. They make them bad, so you go to a movie instead of voting. But I'll tell you, in 2016 nobody went to a movie!!! pic.twitter.com/6HQVaEXH0I

"We greatly appreciate President Trump’s LEADERSHIP & DETERMINATION in bringing about a resolution to our intellectual property issue in Canada." Roger Goodell

You're welcome, Roger. And it's so true. We're fighting very hard on that one. It's called NEGOTIATION. People don't know this. In Canada, when they show our Super Bowl on TV, the Canadian stations can't put up their own ads. Their very foolish government -- the Justin regime which, by the way, is overdue for a change -- said, you can only show the USA ads. The American ads. Very hard for the stations to make money that way. Because they can't put in the Canadian ads, in the Canadian language. We're fixing that. In my United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, my USMCA. In which, by the way, we put America First. As I promised and as I always always do. Then Mexico -- we're doing great things with Mexico. And Canada is LAST, where it belongs.

Here's the fix. "Canada shall rescind Broadcasting Regulatory Policy CRTC 2016-334 and Broadcasting Order CRTC 2016-335. With respect to simultaneous substitution of commercials during the retransmission in Canada of the program referenced in those measures, Canada may not accord the program treatment less favorable than the treatment accorded to other programs originating in the United States retransmitted in Canada."

Very simple. Very straightforward. And very FAIR. Obama wouldn't do it. I'm doing it. And I think I've done more than any other President -- more than ALL the others -- to make our sports leagues the greatest in the world, in the history of the entire world. And to bring back respect for Anthem, Flag & Country. So important! NFL fans were refusing to go to games because players were disrespecting our Flag & Country. Very bad situation. And I said, look, you can force players to stand for the playing of our National Anthem. I said, make a big penalty if they don't stand. And they'll stand, believe me. So they did the National Anthem Policy, smart move. And the fans are coming back. Because of me.

Elon Musk’s Ultimatum to Tesla: Fight the S.E.C., or I Quit

I've been thinking about moderation a bit, and I have a suggestion.

First, in addition to the disagree=0 moderation, I suggest a new agree=0 moderation.

Second, that these moderations do not take away from the 10 mod points each Solyentel is provided with per day.

Third, that the comments display both a green agree count and a red disagree count in the format A/D as well as the current point count and most common moderation.

Fourth, that logged in users could moderate exactly one agree or disagree per comment. Tying these to an account should keep them somewhat in check, and motivation for spoofing might be lower with a 0-point mod anyway.

Fifth (and perhaps this is obvious by this point) that the agree/disagree ratings be completely separate from the point-up/point-down moderations. They don't provide points anyway, so they don't need to be part of the actual moderation path, and moving them off would avoid having to triage which moderations were unlimited (agree/disagree) and which were limited (give/take points.) This means that a DB table could serve with just the uid, the comment number and a +1 or a -1, so it could be a relatively lightweight and code-simple implementation.

Sixth, as these are 0-point and strictly opinion, that there be no mechanism using them to hide/show comments. This falls naturally out of them not being part of the mod point count anyway, I just thought I'd be specific about it. This also reduces the code and display triage load.

---

What this would do is encourage the creation of a visible consensus on comments; we could rate every comment that called for it with an agree or disagree, and that would neither damage the comment, or anyone's ability to moderate comments that really need a point up or a point down.

There have been many comments where I wished I had a quick way of saying I agree that didn't just appear as a one-line comment, which almost always feels like spamming to me.

There was a massive ICE raid a couple of days ago on the east side of Madison, one which I apparently missed by mere moments. The Madison law enforcement were NOT notified of this, as stated by both Mayor Soglin and Police Chief Koval...though, of course, their primary concern (at least on the air) was "breakdown in communications" rather than "Jesus fuck, WHY are these people conducting damn near paramilitary raids without warning?!"

There is a way to fight illegal immigration. This is not how. Instead of enforcing the laws we have and going after the causes of the problem--this being large businesses like meatpacking plants who bring illegals in as essentially slave labor--they go after the individuals themselves. Not only is this about as useful as locking the barn door after the horse bolts, not only is it a tacit wink and nod to said virtual slavers, but it ends up being open season on these people. Because they're illegal (presumably; we do NOT know everyone targeted in these raids is!), they are not truly human in the eyes of many, and I guaran-fucking-tee you the kind of person who signs up for ICE is even less likely to see them as human beings than the average Joe or Jane on the street.

It's Happening Here.

"Oh, it's JUST the spics," people will say. "They ought not to come here illegally," they say. Well, that last one is true, but they ARE here, and how we deal with them speaks to who and what we are as a nation. There are better ways to handle this. What is being done is possibly the worst way aside from simply rounding up any suspected illegal immigrant and summarily executing him or her...and, frankly, not that far off. What is being done is, again, tacit approval to the big businesses profiting off these peoples' vulnerability in the first place.

One of the reasons I am not a fan of Franklin D. Roosevelt for any reason aside from his economic policy is because he ran internment camps. Or as they are better and more properly called, *concentration camps.* And I don't know how else to describe what ICE is doing in these so-called "detention centers." If you ask me, "detention center" is to concentration camp as "enhanced interrogation methods" is to *torture.* Call it what you want, but if it concentrates "undesireables" it's a concentration camp.

It's Happening Here.

Because people say it can't happen here, when it *is* happening here, they refuse to understand that it is. It's not in their worldview. This is why the euphemism treadmill that, among others, George Carlin called out for its dishonesty and evil is so sinisterly effective: because It Can't Happen Here, when it *does* happen here, people will latch onto anything to believe that it's not happening here.

It's Happening Here.

What's next? Where is this going? Once the infrastructure for concentration camps is in place, once warrant standards are lax and paramilitary action against citizens is legalized, once we have secret courts, once We The People "have a reason" to suspend the Constitution--whose basic clauses apply to EVERYONE, NOT just citizens!--a turnkey fascist state is in place, just waiting for the right crisis to come along, or indeed, to be manufactured.

It's Happening Here. First they came for the illegal immigrants...

From Warsaw to Riyadh, to Jerusalem, to Singapore, it has been my highest honor to represent the United States abroad. And so many great leaders have visited my White Houses. Friended or followed me on Social Media. We're doing Twitter, Facebook, Instagram (thank you Mike & Kevin). And YouTube -- that's a Google number. I have forged close relationships and friendships and STRONG partnerships with the leaders of many Nations. And our approach has already yielded INCREDIBLE CHANGE.

I welcomed Prime Minister Modi of India -- they call him the leader of the world’s largest democracy -- to my Washington White House. I'll tell you, he's a world leader in Social Media. And we're true friends on many platforms.

I was pleased to learn about an Indian Airlines recent order of 100 new American planes, one of the largest orders of its kind, which will support thousands and thousands of American jobs. We’re also looking forward to exporting more American energy to India as their economy grows, including major long-term contracts to purchase American natural gas.

Air India is now flying DIRECTLY from New Delhi to Tel Aviv. Flying over Saudi Arabia. And saving over two hours on the flight. Something nobody thought would ever happen. Tremendous gift from Saudi Arabia to the beautiful Tourism Industry of Israel. And they're talking about a 65% growth in that. A deal where everybody wins. Because of me. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/israel-targets-over-65-per-cent-growth-in-indian-tourist-arrivals/articleshow/63666072.cms

Warsaw. I gave a TERRIFIC speech in Warsaw. Which the Wall Street Journal called my defining speech. And they said "Mr. Trump is taking a clear stand against the kind of gauzy globalism and vague multiculturalism represented by the worldview of, say, Barack Obama and most contemporary Western intellectuals........" They love me in Poland. Because they love God. They're People of Faith. Just like us. And we want Poland to be very safe. Security. I said, "why do we still have NATO? Do we still need that one or is it obsolete?" Well, there's one reason, and it's a great reason -- Poland. To protect Poland from Russia. I think it’s a very aggressive situation. I think that Russia has acted aggressively. They respect force. They respect strength, as anyone does. And we have the greatest strength in the world, especially now. The security of Poland is very important to me. Extremely important. They’re very special people. It’s a very special country. It’s a very brave country.

I think one of my best moments was making that speech in Poland. People liked me, and I like them. They’re very, very exceptional people. The security of Poland is very important to me, and it’s very important to our country.

Andy Duda, President Duda of Poland, came to me at my Washington White House. We had a great talk. Great talk. And he asked me, "please build a base in Poland. Call it Fort Trump. And Poland will pay for it." He's got billions, he's ready to pay billions -- MUCH more than $2 billion -- for us to put our base in there. They're paying, so important. So we are looking at it. We’re looking at it from the standpoint of number one, military protection, for both countries, and also cost. A term you don’t hear too often. And they're ready to buy our natural gas, our liquefied gas. So they're not dependent on Russia for that one. We're looking at building Fort Trump. Great name. And we can make a great deal, very fair deal. whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-president-duda-republic-poland-bilateral-meeting

Poland, India, Israel, Saudi Arabia. These are our wonderful friends. Our beautiful friends. The Four Friends of America. And trust me, I'm working very hard on making new friends. Chairman Kim, tremendous meeting with him -- the best food I've ever tasted. President Putin, very successful meeting. Very tough competitor and maybe we can change that. Many things are possible. Because the world RESPECTS us again. Something we haven't seen in a long, long time. America First!! pic.twitter.com/9o5gZlJiTd
