I have been in fucking EVE Online corporations with better OPSEC than these guys.

This would be hilarious if I didn’t fucking live here.

Nah, they don’t give a shit if it’s gone, because they’ll just pay an army of lawyers to make it go away.

What this does is makes any competition against any established Internet companies impossible for anyone who can’t afford said army of lawyers. That’s why they’re the main driving force behind it. Any new social media startup will swiftly find themselves buried in litigation over the content people post on their site.

It’s far worse than you think.

True, but it’s not something you should completely shy away from, either.

“Speak softly and carry a big stick” isn’t just advice for international diplomacy.

Man, Smedley Butler underwent a hell of an arc. From being a proud soldier of American imperialism, to becoming the father of modern police forces, to foiling a fascist plot to overthrow the country and becoming an outspoken anti-war advocate. He went from one end of the political spectrum to the other.

Same energy as this Key and Peele bit.

Money talks, but wealth whispers.

I’m pretty sure it was none other than fuckin’ Newt Gingrich who coined the term.

I knew STALKER was a cult classic. I also knew it was the definition of eurojank, so I was already holding off on the sequel until it gets several patches and/or a few community fixes.

Still, I have several people on my friends list who have been playing the absolute shit out of this game. The devs clearly remembered how to capture the magic of the Zone.

Their majority in the House is historically slim: they can afford to lose only a single vote. Something that is this obviously terrible for the economy will have some trouble there.

Don’t fucking stop. Don’t listen to the polls, good or bad. Our republic depends not merely on winning, but running up the score, so that there’s no doubt about who won.

And if that’s not enough reason, every vote for Kamala is just 1 more Psychic damage that Trump takes after the election. He thinks everyone loves him; your vote is proof that he’s wrong, and it will drive him MAD.

Vote. Vote. VOTE.

Well, shit. Now I can’t unhear it.

Dude, I’m scared in a way that only someone who has a history degree can be scared. We are currently in the lead-up to the next global conflict, and this time, we have the capability to destroy ourselves.

I’m seeing what is going on now, and it’s the same thing that was happening in Europe in the 1920s. I’ve been saying that January 6 was the GOP’s Munich Beer Hall Putsch. We’re gonna find out in a couple weeks if we’re gonna let the new fascists gain power like Hitler did in the 30s.

While this isn’t surprising, Green Forest in particular is a case where I’d be shocked if it wasn’t happening. I grew up in the area, and I’d say that half of the town are immigrants and the Tyson plant employs twice as many people than the rest of the town combined. Lots of poor families who are struggling to make ends meet would definitely be desperate enough to send their kids to work there.

It’s bad everywhere, but that plant in Green Forest is a particularly egregious case.

I’ve tried this. They don’t listen; it just goes in one ear and out the other, and that’s assuming you’re on good terms with the person you’re talking to. Otherwise, they just get very angry that you’re attacking their worldview.

The long and short is that these people have been lied to virtually non-stop for the past 40 years, and the first step is depriving them of their disinformation stream. From there, it’s a slow process that could take years, and that process is reset if they go back to listening to lies on Fox News or on Facebook/Twitter.

Yeah, the combat in Skyrim is boring and uninspired, but that’s still a step up from Morrowind’s combat.

“It is not the severity of punishment that deters crime, but the certainty of punishment.”

I want to be the one to point out that retired generals making political statements is heavily frowned upon, so for them to take a step beyond that and ENDORSE A CANDIDATE is practically unheard of except in fringe cases like Michael Flynn.

Upper brass is a pretty exclusive club, and retirees don’t generally make political statements to avoid stepping on the toes of the currently serving generals/admirals. If multiple generals/admirals felt the need to take this step, they would’ve done it with the knowledge and consent of current leadership.

Someone has never had to deal with DHL.

You’d think the Germans would be fantastic at logistics, but in this case, you’d be very wrong.
