Imagine waiting until you're President to get circumcised.

Artemis reaching a hand into the pool, splashing you with water, and leaving you suddenly filled with gender euphoria as the change washes over you.

RRR must have made these guys absolutely shit themselves.

If Americans want the Houthis out of Yemen, they should simply go there and campaign harder and turn out to vote in the next general election.

Its a cascade effect. As more ships leave the straight, the ships that remain become bigger targets. If you were one ship in a thousand, its a numbers game. But once you're the only guy to fire at...

the book settlers was completely right

Eh. It was very heavy and dry.

these people become nazi sleeper agents the moment they pass middle school

For all the screaming hysteria about rising crime and violence, I haven't seen much of a will to power in any of my Euro-Amerikan neighbors. Violence is what the police are for. Everyone else just cowers in their homes and posts frantically to NextDoor. The idea that a bunch of aging suburbanites are going to metasticize into legions of armed brown-shirts? Eh. Even the Jan 6ths weren't particularly well-armed. They certainly aren't fighting fit.

Anyone who uses the term "IQ" should be required to explain what the "Q" stands for, while being lined up against a firing squad.

:-p Ah, I'm from Texas. Definitely a different set of problems.

Although, in my experience, native islanders are often more interested in leaving than in settling in as far-right liberals.

I can get the software I find on Steam elsewhere. They aren't exclusive to the platform. And while using Steam's matchmaking service means you're reliant on it staying functional, more often than not the failure is with the game no longer supporting updates to the Steam environment rather than Steam systems simply giving up.

That's not a monopoly, nor is it a problem with Steam as a platform. At least, no more than any networking service has general problems with backwards compatibility and escalating security issues.

You must have a very tight knit high school. I have no earthly idea how most of my class turned out.

Kind of sick of steam's shit, just letting any bullshit on.

Less annoyed by them having an open back-end that any dork can load a game onto than I am that they let their algorithm get gamed to inflate the perceived popularity of this turd.

Get your house in order, gabe!

As soon as you start policing the politics of this shit, you end up with people screaming about how we need to ban Stellaris or Victoria 3 because it promotes the insidious evils of Stalin-Mao-Killed-10-Trillion-Uighur-Jews Communism. I don't begrudge services for simply not wanting to get sucked into these fights.

But one way to avoid this kind of garbage is to keep them from signal boosting their shitty content into the main feed.

Fucking monopoly capitalism.

One of the nicer things about Steam is that it's not this rigid monopolistic enterprise that demands extortionary fees to host your software and constantly pulls content because some whiney dipshits started a digital book burning movement.

That means turds like this will leak through from time to time. And what guys like Gabe are ultimately banking on is that they suck, nobody really likes them, and they never become a thorn in his side. But, again, that goes out the window when you've got Ann Coulter The Video Game showing up on the NYTs Highest Seller list because she's straw purchasing a thousand copies a week.

Amazing how a little bit of social time with friends and neighbors can reveal the secret radical in each of us.
