The only time I’ve agreed with trolling was when that game about making games leaked a pirate version of their game, where no matter what you did after a couple days in-game pirates would pirate all your games and your studio would go bankrupt.

They gave pirates just enough for a demo, while making a point.

But in 2000, the court enjoyed more robust legitimacy among the public than it does today. As a consequence, Florida officials ceased recounting disputed ballots. Vice President Al Gore conceded the election to Texas Gov. George W. Bush, specifically accepting the Supreme Court’s pivotal ruling.

No Democratic senator challenged the validity of Florida’s disputed Electoral College votes for Bush. Congress certified the Electoral College’s vote, and Bush was inaugurated.

Al Gore is the perfect example of why we can’t ig ore the importance of charisma in a candidate.

Dude would have been a great president, and having him at the helm instead of Bush would have drastically change global politics to this very day.

But he was a wet blanket, didn’t have the balls to challenge it, and too progressive for the DNC to defend.

People keep ignoring that presidential elections are basically just statewide popularity contests. At the end of the day nothing matters but the voters opinions.

“It’s pretty clear to us that the governor and the government have been misinformed,” Valeti said. “And all we’re asking for is a chance to have a direct conversation and say, ‘this is proven science, this is proven safety.’”

Why the fuck would you open any type of business in Florida that deals with anything coming close to science?

Like, no shit the state is going to randomly pass laws in direct opposition of scientific facts, they’ve been doing it for decades.

So?

I hate how every game want to compete for current playtime.

I got way more than money’s worth out of this game, but I haven’t played in over a month. I hope that when I go back to it, there’s still a playerbase.

But like, the developers planned for at best to get 10% of what they did…

If they dropped that extra 90%, I don’t see why that should spell the end of the game. It’s the playerbase the game was designed for.

There’s just this weird “first or worst” mentality with a lot of studios. I hope this game is just given the room to stretch it legs over a decade or so. Something people might not always keep installed on their console, but still download once or twice a year to get some games in.

Games like that can be a success. Just because a lot of people burnt out doesn’t mean they’ll never play again.

It’s just games like that don’t maximize investor returns. They want to churn out hits that people play exclusively for 3 months then drop, only to buy the new one next year.

Fucking hell…

Everyone should read this article.

Like maybe it just hits close to home, but I feel like regardless of the subject matter this is just some of the best journalism I’ve read in a long time.

You’re not asking people to trust science, you’re asking people to trust in the institutions that were certain people around Chernobyl and Fukushima were totally safe and trust us bro

…

So have you even heard of a power coefficient before?

Everyone knew Chernobyl was inherently unsafe, because a positive power coefficient is just an insane design which is why only the Soviets were doing it.

And Fukushima was concurrent earthquakes and a tsunami… Like, you can’t really prepare for everything.

Your heart might be in the right place, but you clearly haven’t actually learned about nuclear power.

I’m sure you’ve watched some YouTube videos tho, made by other people who don’t understand nuclear power.

Yeah, that’s the reason it’s got to be “organ donor” like on your driver’s license and they take everything they can right before you die.

So like, if the algorithm is leading to rejecting healthy kidneys due to race of the donor, this could be a huge deal.

But also, kidneys aren’t good forever, and maybe a match isn’t close by?

It’s very interesting just nowhere near enough details for an article.

Research has shown that kidneys donated by Black people are more likely to stop working sooner after a transplant, so the algorithm has downgraded their quality. This factor has led to Black donor kidneys being discarded at a higher rate than other races.

What?

The only way this makes sense, is if they’re talking about organ donors after they pass away. It’s not like people are just randomly giving kidneys out for no reason

But still, it’s not like we have too many kidneys, aren’t people on wait lists for years?

And it sounds like it’s due to correlation. Like, a healthy kidney is a healthy kidney. Who cares if it’s more likely to be healthy or not for certain demographics?

There’s just not a lot of info in the article

Stuff like this.

Where did I ever say I watched a video?

I clicked OPs link, it’s the YouTubers threads account, so I clicked on that profile, and saw a bunch of dumb shit.

Why would I ever want to then go to their YouTube page and watch any of their videos?

Like, you have no idea what we’re talking about, but you’re very opinionated about it.

If you want to learn about nuclear physics, it takes a little.more than watching YouTube videos, and that’s definitely not the only way to learn…

Yeah, this post did actually clear something up for me though.

Like, I actually know about nuclear energy, some of the worst years of my life was nuclear enginerring school lol. And the last couple years I never understood why so many people online have such strong nuclear opinions but don’t seem to actually know anything about it…

It’s because there’s YouTubers like this. Like. I looked at his profile and it’s stuff like pictures of people climbing on Chernobyl equipment that’s still dangerously radioactive

At least it’s better than incels.

I was curious enough to check the link…

Apparently that “expert” has a YouTube channel and kept posting their YouTube links to that sub, when that sub doesn’t want videos as posts, it wants articles.

I envy woman for being able to walk around with a bag the size of a phone without looking stupid.

Bruh stop caring what people think and carry a bag if you want.

I’ll never understand why guys bitch about not being able to do something because it’s not perceived as “manly”.

If you’re secure in your own masculinity then you wouldn’t give two shits what other people thought about carrying a bag, what you drive, what kind of dog you have, or any of that stuff.

Don’t worry about projecting the appearance of a confident man. And just be confident in yourself bro.

That weird Jupiter movie where all the heroes were old and past their prime, but refusing to hand off to the next generation till they were dead?

I dunno, I watched it once and didn’t pay much attention.

Elizabeth Warren

Kamala Harris

AOC

Bernie (but he wouldn’t run)

Pete Buttigeig (he’d be just as bad, but he’d be easier to get elected)

Happy?

My point was “election ready” is meaningless.

Are you unable to answer my question, because I’m answering yours

You literally didn’t…

What do you think “election ready” means?

Who is a potential candidate who will be election ready in four months, because it’s not going to happen.

What do you think “election ready” means?

Because with the current state of things, to me it just means their name goes on a ballot.

Don’t you remember the hype about how much Biden prepped for this debate? And this is what we got.

and is doing a damn fine job of it

You may hold that opinion, Biden definitely holds that opinion. But most Dem voters dont believe it.

Not everyone shares your opinion on things, and we know that because polling is a thing.

Look at Biden’s poll numbers…

Someone that no one knows with a D by their name is still going to be “not trump” and get every single vote that Biden will get.

Along with the votes of people that can’t ignore a genocide, that can’t ignore human rights abuses at our own border, or any of the other areas where Biden is significantly more conservative than Dem voters.

The more people know about Biden, the less they support him. That is why a completely unknown “empty suit” has a better chance at stopping trump

Bonus points if they’re not two decades past the retirement age for their generation

The DNC could also just say anyone else is the nominee.

The primary is nonbinding as the DNC keeps saying.

The thing is Biden appointed the head of the DNC, so the DNC is very unlikely to go against him. But they could if they cared more about stopping trump than backroom favors

Nope.

And a man with no arms best hand is one of their feet…

Doesn’t mean a foot makes a good hand, just that it’s the best they have.

TLDR:

The dystopian hellscape set in the future isn’t as dystopian as current reality…
