Of all the things that never happened, this one never happened the most.

Pretty sad though that this is the story she wants so much to tell.

If only AI Datacenters could use the goodwill their shitty users burn as fuel.

So verified by the people who put out the propaganda in the first place. Your source “confirming” the story literally came from Beijing, and all the wikipedia page (Hardly an arbiter of objective truth in the first place) states is that the number is and has been in dispute. The source cited for that section of the Wikipedia article is also a Western source titled “Quelling the People: The Military Suppression of the Beijing Democracy Movement” published in 1998 by the Stanford University Press. Something tells me they weren’t pushing the CCP line.

So basically your “Easy example” just proves my point: While you chuckle about westerners just believing what western governments said, you’re just wholeheartedly endorsing the version of events published by the Chinese government. The west aren’t the only ones lying to you, bud, they’re just the only ones who will admit it years after the fact.

More factual according to who?

And the Chinese not admitting to propaganda due to the lack of a FOIA-equivalent means they don’t do propaganda?

What an awful day to have eyes.

Highguard had submitted a trailer to be shown during the Game Awards, and the showrunner was so enamored with the game that he chose to give it the coveted last slot. That meant the awards show which had thus far had some really impressive announcements closed with a trailer for this firmly mid looking game, and people were pissed. It meant ending on a pretty low note compared to some of what had been seen.

Some people thought incorrectly that Highguard had bought this last slot, but overall it did a lot to turn sentiments against the game, a hurdle they’ve been trying to overcome ever since.

Getting that show-closing trailer slot at the Game Awards really just completely torpedoed this game’s chances. Absolutely took a mediocre to possibly okay game and turned everyone against it before it ever had a chance. I doubt they’ll ever recover.

Thinking Fetterman is actually a democrat kinda tells us all we need to know about you.

When a democrat fucks up, other democrats call for and get a resignation. When a republican fucks up, they circle the wagons and defend the offender to the last breath. Democrats are not Good but don’t act like they’re the same.

You’re really implying a considerable age difference here though, and that’s not really implied in either the original fake story or the hypothetical posed here. It’s not like dating an old friend of their parents, it’s more like dating their childhood best friend.

It isn’t relevant, yet, but we’re seeing changes in how these things are made to work that are decidedly deleterious to the reliability of mail in voting, and you’re deluded if you think they’re going to stop now. Even questions of legality are at best peripheral to this administration, more interference WILL be coming, and it won’t be something that Postal workers simply caring about their jobs will be able to resolve.

Especially when they’re sure to find ways to demolish post office processing times around election seasons specifically to kill mailed in ballots.

Lol this guy doesn’t know what the dodecahedron is for. Get a load of this!

Don’t forget how many simply refused to entertain reality in the first place. Every so often we still see someone telling on themselves, like “If he didn’t actually have sex with men, he’s not gay. If gay was just attraction we would all be gay.” They got pushed so far into the closet that they thought that was just how the world is.

It’s because in America, the entire country was built on a native burial ground and out ghosts are fucking PISSED. They don’t want corn dogs, they want your bone marrow and teeth.

I don’t know where you’re getting the idea that people don’t care. People do care, a lot of people care a lot. Part of the problem is that people who want to act ethically and politely, people who want to minimize harm, are going to be at a distinct disadvantage when opposing people for whom the ends always justify the means, and the ends they seek are their own betterment above all else.

If your idea of action is sternly worded letters and peaceful protest, and my idea of action is violence and unabashed corruption of authority, you’re going to have a real uphill battle to dislodge me from any power I manage to gain. It doesn’t mean the corrupt assholes are unstoppable, only that their methods are more aligned with the acquisition and retention of power.

It’s adorable that you think “stubborn homophobes” wouldn’t end a friendship over someone coming out. I genuinely wish they did just become curious and eventually accepting, instead of immediately rejecting and intimidating and expressing feelings of disgust and revulsion.
