Vance doesn’t have the rabid fanbase Trump has. The man has the charisma of a wet paper sack.

Trump might be able to pull off keeping the Oval Office. Vance will not.

Of course it has a rock face.

You’re not wrong there.

Sealioning is when someone pretends to be ‘just asking questions’ in good faith in an attempt to sow discord in a community.

It’s technically possible to administer Linux servers with a Nintendo DS.

…Not sure where I was going with that, except to say that you can, in fact, do just that with an actual toy.

This was in response to someone talking about the drones being AI-piloted.

They have an easy tap on what sells, by virtue of running the marketplace.

Find a popular product, make an Amazon Basics version of it, undercut their best vendors, bam! Easy money. And leave the vendors swinging in the breeze with backstock they can’t move any more.

And they own the warehouses. Why not stock them with their own product in preference of vendors?

“The high-tech drones, which are piloted by a team of former military men and nationally ranked professional drone racers…”

Well sure, but that’s not the virus’s fault.

Yeah, you’re not wrong - I’m not counting on it, by any stretch.

But I can hope.

It’ll be far, far from the nail in the coffin, but we’re already seeing promising movement among what was normally staunch Trump supporters.

It’s only one avenue to follow though. We still have to do what we can wherever we can.

That’s because the TVs are subsidized by selling your stolen info.

That’s like preventing a disease from being used for political reasons.

As COVID, a virus that has zero political affiliation and infected nearly everyone equally, proved…

You can’t.

…are you seriously complaining like this about the use of the word ‘apopleptic’? It was one word, dude, let it go.

EA and Ubisoft are really duking it out for the first prize in the worst game company competition.

I bailed when they started banning people for upvoting Luigi content. I’d already drastically reduced my usage when the appocalypse happened and RIF no longer worked, but that level of panopticon shit was too much.

…Italians?

There’s an easy solution to that.

Seed something yourself.

Go buy a garage sale DVD of something that is semi-popular and doesn’t already exist on the private tracker, rip it, and post the torrent yourself.

'S what I did back when Underground Gamer still existed; I had a version of Mechwarrior 2 that didn’t already have a torrent, so I spent some time making a nice summary and uploaded it myself. Worked a treat; I had enough ratio to get me through my rough early weeks and never looked back. Until the site shut down, of course.

I even tried to migrate mine, and it failed. After deleting my Mojang account.

Tech support made a token attempt to help me and then gave up. So much for my capes, I guess…

It’s the House Rules Committee, and actually one Republican voted in favor.
