  • Personally, I don't see any deciet here.

    Nobody claimed anything, someone just went around asking questions. Personally I wouldn't care if a red hat came into my Cafe and asked questions like that, and I would give my very strong opinions exactly as I would to anyone else. If they said a republican was about to come in for a PR stunt, I would ask to speak to the owner, and if they're actually cool with that the they have lost my business.

    I still wouldn't feel like the person who came in was being in nay way subversive.

    Honestly if I ran across one of their candidates alone in the middle of the night I might feel the urge to deck them whether I act on it or not, but that exact thing is the reason they should go without stating the reason for the questions and visit fist thing. What if someone were just psychotic and armed? They could quite easily pretend to be the world's largest supporter in order to get a seat at the next table over for a better shot, instead of the scout saying "that guy in the corner gave strange vibes, better put extra security over there or pass on this one"

    Or someone might start throwing shoes...

  • Why would you ever make a plan when you make the subconscious assumption that everyone operates around what you want?

    Because their whole life has been geared toward allowing them to believe they are entitled to everything.

    As always, calling others "entitled" was pure projection.

  • When I worked at a store that sold guns in 2016, supposedly there was a chance that a certain oddly-colored cheeto would be making a PR appearance after a speech in town.

    I straight up told my manager if they actually think it's a real possibility then I will not be returning to work after my lunch break. I don't think for a second my threat actually made a difference, but I'd like to think my manager and district manager would take their ONLY trained tech for their most profitable services in 8 states and risk them leaving over a PR stunt they know will piss off half the people who shop there.

    However when one of the red hats found out that the district manager called corporate to say it wasn't a good idea, they quit. Granted, nobody cared since it was their first week, but I know they were talking about being desperate for work they were qualified for that won't do a background check. So they quit over stupid shit when they apparently needed the money.

    Logic is not strong with that crowd.

  • Which they and every other gaming company have tried to kill at one point or another, and I fully expect them to try again next Gen. They probably hope that the people who pay attention and care are getting older and won't make as much of a fuss as we did with the last three generations.

  • Barring me from getting old games in a modern platform will not stop me from playing old games on a modern platform.

    The sooner they realize that and plan accordingly by releasing their old catalogs for appropriate pricing, the sooner they will get what they want and piracy and emulation will plummet.

    When people have a cheap and easy way of doing something without wondering if they're about to get SWATed, they're way more likely to actually do that.

  • Every time I hear Nintendo issues another C&D, I have a new emulator to download before they get forcibly taken down.

    It's 100% the streisand effect.

    "Oh you're whining about another small group of people passionate about your past games? Well let me pile onto your woes. Asshole."

    I do not understand how one company can have so much dedication from fans while simultaneously despising them.

    If YOU aren't going to offer a 100% obviously and clearly above board, legal, safe, option for games anymore, someone else WILL and you get absolutely nothing from it.

    And I also don't understand why a company with no intention of ever selling something again still has the ability to sue people while claiming lost revenue. Get fucked, and stop bitching. It just makes me never want to buy Nintendo products ever again.

    But that won't stop me from playing Nintendo products.

  • At least make some homemade egg/flour noodles so they're nice and chunky!

    Skinny gagh just looks malnourished. The best gagh is fat and wiggly!

  • I had to fiddle with my own on my old laptop, I used one of the plethora of github scripts, but then they changed the api to limit access to (I think) about 100/min, so I just changed the delays to 1000ms so it would only delete 60/min.

    Took two weeks, but I still haven't seen any old content pop back up outside of archives and quotes from other comments in the thread.

    I search for a couple random things I remember saying on ddg/bing/Google whenever I think about it, so far nothing.

    As I've said before about certain countries, you know your platform is doing well when you (essentially) tell people "No, sorry, you can't leave."

  • "What is a woman?"

    Jump
  • Are you coming on to me?”

    I've actually used "I'm flattered, but I'm not into guys, sorry." and when immediately he got pissy and insisted he isn't gay and wasn't asking me out, "It's okay, you don't have to hide who you are, I'm simply not interested." and at that point my patience and certainty they wouldnt try to deck me were out the door, along with myself.

    A musical theater performance was probably not the best place for the guy to be attempting to ragebait.

    10/10 responses, I'd add in "If you have to ask, maybe you should get out more" which I guess is similar to "Makes sense you wouldn't know"

  • Oh, you don't have to tell me about O'Brien and his moods....

    And don't ask what's in the buffers...

  • Okay you and Nuke can have a small one, as a treat.

    Go play out back, have fun.

  • So my understanding of it is that one person who has a lot of followers made a video using the word in an arguably improper manner, a bunch of other people making more videos more or less using it ironically to make fun of it, and then a bunch MORE people just started using it completely wrong because it's been a game of Shitty Telephone from the people who used it correctly (first persons teacher, or a book somewhere) and the end result makes absolutely no sense.

    Or, if you will excuse the slanted metaphor, "Ai learning from Ai"

  • Step One Cannot Be Completed

    Abandon Quest?

    [X] Yes [_] No

  • SAY WHAT AGAIN

  • Me, being called a liberal:

    Lolno I just don't think their red authoritarianism and denial of reality looks much different than conservative fascism and denial of reality.

  • Words mean whatever the people in powersay they mean, and unless and until the rest of us are sick enough to actually do something about it... Well... Nothing changes if you don't do something different.

  • Unfortunately, people don't usually tolerate my brand of intolerance towards people actively making the world shittier.

    A quick drop and a sudden stop pretty effectively neutralizes any future plans billionaires can make.

  • I'll take 12, with some cinnamon honey butter brushed on top.

    Please.
