Dear pcgamer:
"Elon's salute" was a nazi salute. It's ok, you can say it: He did a nazi salute.
See? Nothing wrong in calling stuff by its name.
- "While we cannot say what was in Mr. Robinson's heart when he did this, his action appears to have been an attempt to curry favor with certain elements of the American political right by provoking its opposition," reads a statement posted by the Anglican Catholic Church on Wednesday.
  Why is anyone bending over backwards to give Nazis any benefit of doubt? IT DOESN'T MATTER IF HE WAS JUST TROLLING. A person who does the Nazi salute to make people think they are Nazis is a Nazi.
  
  But what if he was just pretending to be a Nazi, totally different /s

…his ~~gambling~~ website?
It’s hypocrisy all the way down until you actually hit a turtle.
Edit: a word. Important one.
- gambling
  I think you accidentally a couple letters there
  
  Indeed
- It’s hypocrisy all the way down until you actually hit a turtle.
  Great A'Tuin: Please don't.
- Please don't hit the turtles, they're doing their best!
