  • The point of an RPG, especially one that involves shooting is you let the player pick their own moral take on how to play the game. You don't choose FOR them.

    Put real consequences in the game if the players choices actually matter. Don't nerf the game mechanics for no reason.

  • bot casually stealing comments
  • I'm guessing that once these bots have farmed enough karma, their owners will sell them to other people who will use them for advertising or propaganda.

  • Socialism

    A system of government where the country's wealth is concentrated into a small, ruling class of billionaires, who use the media they own to keep the lower classes fighting with each other while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the farking money.

  • 'Is Stephen Miller okay?': Dems gleeful as Trump adviser has 'meltdown' over Biden dropout
  • Guys like Miller can't understand the idea of self-sacrifice if there's no money or personal gain to be had, later. He's frustrated because he can't figure out the "angle" and it's no more complicated than for the good of the nation. And that's a completely alien idea to him.

  • Move demonstrates Musk’s growing influence in Washington

    It demonstrates the growing influence of EVERY billionaire in Washington DC ever since the courts accepted the "corporations are people / money is speech" arguments.

  • Sadly, News media has been consolidating for the last 50 years. In the 1980s, every tv/radio station was ultimately owned by one of about 40 companies. Today, they're all owned by SIX.

    It is now owned by six billionaires and their families. And if those six people decide that something isn't going to be talked about, then it won't be talked about.
