Wait, you guys are getting President’s Day off work??

you managed to piss off a huge chunk of your paper’s subscriber base without winning over anyone from the other side

This never had anything to do with winning over MAGA voters. It was only ever about Bezos fearing retaliation from a future Trump administration if he manages to win a second term.

There’s a reason people like Musk are bending over backwards to suck Trump’s dick: They’ve all seen what happened to oligarchs in other countries who didn’t bend the knee when a new dictator came to power. Putin is probably the best and most relevant recent example, but the “Saudi Arabian purge” is another, and similar things have been happening all over the world this century.

Bingo

32 posts a day is a LOT.

Honestly, that’s not even that impressive… It’s only 4 posts per hour over a 8 hour work day, which is completely achievable if Internet trolling is your hobby of choice.

What’s really impressive is the number of comments. I won’t speculate on Monk’s motives (out of fear of running afoul of this community’s rules) except to say that they seem extremely motivated to argue with anyone and everyone who posts a disagreeing comment. Their tactic is to bicker with any dissenting voices (without actually engaging with their arguments) to the point of exhaustion so that no one will bother engaging anymore — a very specific strategy I have to imagine is designed to shift the Overton window a particular way.

Fortunately, their efforts seem to have been mostly ineffective given the number of people around here who continue to call out their BS. So keep fighting the good fight, I guess!

You gotta admit, no one is better at projecting than Trump!

Lots of people are voting third party.

Looks like plenty of people disagree with you

Those are your words to another commenter, whom I think we can very safely assume is also not running for president. So why bring it up at all if it doesn’t matter?

What does that have to do with anything?

Looks like even more disagree with you.

Fun fact: for a third party candidate to qualify for ballot access in New York, they need to get 45,000 signatures (which none managed to achieve this election cycle). That means that in a state of 20 million people, no third party candidate could earn the support of just 0.225% of the population… Even Kanye got a larger percentage of the vote than that in some states!

And yet there are still people in this community trying to convince us that these candidate are running in good faith, when clearly no one actually wants them. Hmm…

Honestly, I’d love to see games set in the Alien universe that have absolutely nothing to do with the aliens. The whole design concept for the original movie was “truckers in space”. So where’s my space trucking game?

Depending on how many “users” are actually scammers, a deletion of such accounts would lead to a decreased user count.

Just include suspended accounts when publishing user counts. Like how Trump leaves his shoes on when he gets measured for a physical so people will think he’s actually 6’3".

Hear hear!

It’s time to stop taking any CEO at their word.

Edit: scratch that, the time to stop taking any CEO at their word was 100 years ago.

I hate to break it to you, but our meat brains don’t even have continuity of consciousness. We become unconscious all the time. The only real constant is the “hardware” our consciousness emerges from, but even that is always changing.

At least horse armor was good for the memes. This is so bland no one even cares to meme about it.

TBH, I really wish he would’ve just shut up and let the gameplay breathe for a while. They started the showcase explaining how this game isn’t going to hold your hand, but then spent the next fifteen minutes over-explaining every little detail, lol

Votes cast in Ohio for Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein will not count because the party nominated her running mate after a state administrative deadline, according to state election officials. [1]

Sounds like the only “accusations” should be leveled at Stein’s campaign which, yet again, couldn’t muster the basic competency to comply with state election laws and regulations… despite having 4 whole years to prepare. It’s almost like the Greens aren’t a serious political party!

No Dark Souls?

Shame! Shame!

Really? Back in the day even Charon took his cut.
