I’m fully banking on it. They’ll argue the office of the president is “special” and not beholden to the same rules and regulations that are supposed to bind public servants. And the SC will grant them that.

I hope it works, but I wouldn’t count on it. Hypocrisy has become a valued skill rather than a character flaw in this administration.

"On hearing the news that Rome had “perished”, Honorius was initially shocked, thinking the news was in reference to a favourite chicken he had named “Roma”.

It was absolutely every bit as stupid as today. People really haven’t changed much in 2000 years.

Ah, there it goes. Was waiting for this one. Next up, porn ban. Small government indeed; small enough to fit into your bedroom…

Well, that’s one possible great filter down then. If it happened twice on one planet it’s safe to assume that, given similar circumstances, it could happen again, or already has elsewhere.

Still makes me giddy every time though.

I wouldn’t mind it all so much if there weren’t so many goddamn cheaters in the lobby.

AMD is making a lot more off their CPUs than off their GPUs afaik.

Absolutely agree, but I’m continuously surprised at how many people don’t WANT to think for themselves. It’s not that they lack the ability or their IQ is too low, they simply have decided to outsource their goddamn morality. That’s perhaps worse than simple ignorance.

It killed Digg. It’s slowly killing Reddit now.

I love how this used to be attributed to anonymity. Then big sites with comment sections made use of real names mandatory and… nothing changed, the same people still happily spew their hateful drivel and propaganda. They’re fucking proud of it.

At first it annoyed me slightly but I’ve noticed that I can understand most of them without having to use a translator, so now it’s just free language practice. And deciphering memes is decidedly more fun than taking a course.

That’s a legit societal theory called “accelerationism”. Make everything so awful that people will realize what’s happening and instigate massive backlash.

Except… the first time this was tried, in the 30’s, we got WWII instead of solutions. So maybe not that great of an idea after all.

Trump may be incompetent but the architects of project 2025 are, unfortunately, not. Trump is merely their most useful idiot.

Is this actually a ploy by Veidt?

Can you let me know if you find the answer? I’ve been looking for a while myself.

It happens, especially in tech, but I’d say it’s still the exception to the norm.

Well… you’ll find out eventually, one way or the other.

Don’t worry Nintendo, even as someone who grew up on SMB, you’ve thoroughly convinced me to never do business with you ever again. Not even nostalgia…
