You’re not alone in your confusion there, friend. Reading Speaker for the Dead and finding out about who the author was as a person blows my mind as to how such a bigot could even conceive of the ideas in that book.

Consistently observed behavior in a population subset is not an abnormality.

That is very succinctly accurate.

Unfortunately the USA has been fed a steady diet of nationalism branded as Patriot Juice with extra Freedom for a long time and too many people have been drinking at the trough.

That’s what I was referring to. Thank you for elucidating it, though, for others that may not have known.

Hey wow! A headline that isn"t answered with “no”.

I’m getting older and get weird looks when I tell people I refuse to install apps that can be websites and if a company is going to force me to use their app I am simply not spending money there.

I know from personal experience it broke Star Wars Outlaws. Appears to have broken any Ubisoft games using that same engine.

This is why I returned Star Wars Outlaws on Steam. I couldn’t even get the game to start. Ubisoft has known about this issue for months now and continues to allow their PC games to be sold in an unplayable state.

Compare this to, say, Dead By Daylight, where there’s “seasons” with unlockable rewards, you can get them for free, and you can keep unlocking them after the season ends.

Similarly Helldivers 2 battle passes cost in-game earnable currency to unlock and never expire, but if people want to pay cash to unlock them the option is there.

Ale and Tale Tavern is a game about running a tavern.
Star Was Galaxies back in the day was one of the only MMORPGs I have ever played where people actually hung out in the cantina all day. You can still play it with help from the linked site. That was an incredible MMO and a shame what happened to it.

Cult, or…Qult.

“I’ll go to war to replace American workers with H1B indentured servants”

Bannon is an accelerationist who believes in the inevitability of and is trying to bring about a race war.

Oh, definitely not. They’re just victims to a compound con. Con upon a con? Conpounded?

Come out and play.

They’ve been clued in to how big tech can secure their power through mass media manipulation, identity tracking, surveillance, etc.
They hated it until they saw how it could benefit THEM. Common conservative MO: does not help me/helps others = bad, helps me = good.
