Who is saying anything about hypocrisy? This is about the guy feeling the consequences for his shitty policies.

Firefox + ublock still works perfectly fine for me.

Not really true. UK definitely has a history of under-insulation compared to other European countries with similar climates (like Denmark for example).

I don’t really understand what it is about HMMIII you don’t get. It is a relatively simple game concept, and the fundamentals has remained largely unchanged from iteration to iteration. I personally prefer III over most of the later ones exactly because of its simplicity (and none of those ugly 3D graphics).

For me what mostly antiquates a game is if it was primarily based on graphics which have been outdated, otherwise I don’t really have a problem even with much older games. But then again I also grew up playing games in the 80s, so I have been used to those my entire life. Some of the games which fascinated me on account of the complexity, like the early Ultima games (at least I and II), doesn’t exactly stand revisits, because they were very barebones compared to the later games in the franchise. Ultima V still holds up beautifully, simply because it is so complex behind those primitive graphics.

My attraction to women has been destroyed

Incel makes up story to rationalise their bigotry.

He is bringing back a very carefully selected group of banned people, people he thinks caters to the only specific core audience which remains on twitter: hateful right wing bigots.

Russia doesn’t pay people for that sort of thing, especially not a person like Musk. Instead they extort. Possibly over rare materials.

Anyway I don’t think Russia was part of Musks takeover of twitter, that stemmed from Musks own arrogant stupidity, but they certainly did become one afterwards.

I really don’t understand this constant complaint that comes up whenever a news story about Musk is posted. Of course it is newsworthy that the (once) richest man on Earth is doing this, and providing news about what these billionaire oligarchs are up to is definitely part of a relevant newsfeed.

Keeping their actions in the dark only helps normalising their existence and behaviour.

It is actually 62%. For some reason they rounded the real number down in OP’s link.

Tankies are fascinating, the more stuffed with propaganda lies they are, the more confident they feel.

And even if you did, would they matter?

They are grown people, they should take responsibility for their actions. The 2019 tory landslide speaks volumes.

Also all the porn they found on his computer.

Yeah, you are a good example of what happens to somebody who shapes their reality after nonsense like gamergate and other right wing bullshit conspiracy theories.

This is not comparable at all. Radicalisation through the media you consume is a known and proven phenomenon. None of the comics, d&d, heavy metal makes you satanic and violent claims have ever been proven.

It is still going strong on places like reddit, where the official gamergate subreddit kotakuinaction still exists (personally unblocked by spez himself because it contributed “valuable discussion”).

No, it would not get him more votes. The main problem for the Democrats are that a lot of non-Trump voters doesn’t vote at all, not that they are suddenly going to turn Trump voters. There has been a consistent non-Trump majority since 2016 after all.

I think the main problem for the Democrats are apathy and people not voting at all, rather than people actually voting for Trump. The Trump voters will be the same, but they will actually vote.

There is not a lot to laugh about with flat earthers. The theory stems from Christian fundamentalism, and it is tightly connected to the christofascist movements trying to coup the USA at the moment.

And no, they are not going to give up their beliefs, because they didn’t come by them through rational thought, so rational thought isn’t going to disprove it for them.

I haven’t watched the video, but I suspect it aligns somewhat with my own experience. Online fps used to be my goto genre, but the competitiveness, toxicity and the widespread cheating made me realise that it stressed me out more than it entertained me. So I cut them off a couple of years ago in favour of single player games, often moddable single player games with good replayability like Kenshi or Stellaris (although I also like more linear games which just provides some good no frills entertainment).

It really has made a huge difference in how gaming functions for me. Much more relaxing and stress relieving, not to mention that I have more control over the amount I play, since I can always just save the game and turn it off without feeling I am missing out on something.
