Nah. Let him split the conservatives up.

In this case it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the DNC. New York allows him to continue to run despite losing the primary because he already qualified to be on the ballot.

It’s dumb, because he’s already conceded the primary, and he knows doing so is divisive, but the silver lining is that New York has ranked choice voting, at least.

A rent-a-cop likely has an even bigger inferiority complex, and is potentially more dangerous, for one. Being unable to become a real cop is like being unable to win a staring contest against yourself in a mirror.

It’s the QTE debate all over again. If it’s a forced mechanic, meaning there’s no alternative than to learn the pattern and parry effectively, I agree with this guy that it sucks. But I haven’t seen many games where that’s the case.

Modern accessibility standards seem to be doing a better job of making games enjoyable by a wider range of players, giving options to disable QTEs entirely on one end, or offering alternative solutions to fights besides mastery of timing dependent actions on the other.

*because that’s what the prompt they were testing was designed to elicit.

There are no shareholders. He took the company private and funds it through advertising and loans. He is the only shareholder.

The bootlickers are the only reason we give a shit about the orange turd.

Many things aren’t important. Life isn’t about strict necessity.

 

Found this post super informative as it relates to Mastodon, and thought Lemmy might also benefit from this perspective. I'm not sure I share his optimism, but his points seem sound to dampen some of the alarm bells over Meta joining the Fediverse.
