  • I think they should at least do an annual "Year of the Linux desktop!" episode!

  • I wouldn't say it has anything to do with the financial affluence of the gamer, but I agree with you that the vast vast majority of gamers simply do not care. Like with a lot of things, that same majority would be better off if they did.

  • That's the excuse used so they can charge you $18 for a burger, truth be told if you took some of the greedily hoarded profits alway from the franchise agreements and ownership cuts you'd be able to pay workers more and keep prices low. The ownership class just wants to have their cake and eat it too, which last time was forcibly ended with a shit ton of daggers (Rome) and guillotines (France).

  • Which is why democracy is a failure without education.

  • You've got this! 🔥

  • It's abstraction all the way down?!

  • Ah, that makes sense. The ol' Google plus gambit.

  • This was only active if you signed up for their local guide program iirc.

  • You're not the asshole, you're playing with the wrong group. Find people that want to play the same style of game as you, don't play with people just because they're who you're familiar with. Recipe for a bad time.

  • Depends on the game. Apex, Riot, ubisoft, and EA all ban vm players. A list of other companies do as well.

  • Easy way to get yourself banned in online games just an FYI. Most online games will detect and ban virtual machines now since they've become commonplace in cheat/hack communities.

  • Yes.

    Also, anything that isn't ranked choice voting that allows people to specify an order of preference at time of vote is not good politics and is not going to, and shouldn't, sit well with progressives. Tit-for-tat is additionally an issue that many voters and progressives consider objectionable (source: exit polls). You can call it basic politics if you want, but if you're progressive you'll need to accept that it's going to continuously cause us to lose elections and bleed voter support. People are clearly tired of establishment politics. Trump has proven that twice. Running as an anti-establishment candidate both times and winning, both times.

  • That is simply not true. Stop spreading misinformation. In addition I did not claim they made the decision for each candidate. What they did was run a first-past-the-post cacus that allowed candidates with conflicting interests to allocate their political weight against a clearly popular candidate. If they'd done ranked choice voting from the start, it would not be an issue, instead they allowed candidates (like Bloomberg) to spend millions, gather significant support, and then cast that support to a vastly unpopular candidate. You're literally trying to argue Hillary was a good candidate with the best chance of winning but both polls, exit polls, and the caucus itself showed that not to be the case. Without the collaborative actions against Bernie by the other candidates allowed by the DNC Hillary would've never headlined the 2016 ticket.

  • Then you don't understand US politics.

  • This is a blatant misrepresentation of the 2016 DNC cacus run. Absolutely ignorant.

  • Did they change the vote totals?:

    Yes. Every running candidate next to Bernie pulled out, dedicating their votes to Clinton instead. It was blatant and out in the open. Hell, Bloomberg even "entered" the race late in caucusing and pulled out shortly after an insane ad spend dedicating his votes to Clinton as well. That's "putting their 👍 on the scale".

  • That would be every running primary candidate shifting their votes towards Hillary instead of distributing them evenly. In addition there was the Bloomberg run "out of nowhere" when Bernie was looking to be the headline candidate.
