Does someone have a recording of this? I don't trust journ*lists but this sounds really funny if true, and I will always cheer for the downfall of internet donothings.

Seriously they think Brahman means something outside of their dumb butt country.

As Joe continues to get progressively more upset at everyone over literally nothing (sound file easter eggs), an actual developer of Stronghold 2 joins in to call Joe an r-slur.

Joe's reply to dev "Sir Flying Poo"?

"Real life problems, Poo? Can you run a 200 man emergency repair crew at a chemical or manufacturing plant? I had a 50 man team in Manhattan in the crater while managing them from half a continent away. You write game music code. You couldn't deal with trouble like I do. Again with the blind presumptuousness. How typical. I play strategy games to keep my brain active and sharp.

I like winning because losing to me can be a unmitigated disaster in my line of work.

If that means I'm no fun at parties then no matter to me. I gave up swilling booze and chatting innanities at other drunks in college. Frat boy time was 25 years ago.

Quit countering my comments on the game with personal attacks. It's called the "straw man" tactic and is the weakest form of rebuttal usually reserved for lawyers and politicians.

And you all point out all I lose is time. The only commodity you can never get back........"

Ah brilliant. Didn’t see that (he blocked me). It’s bizarre that Andrew sees “fascist” as a smear; I meant something very specific by it, as you’ll see tomorrow when I publish our correspondence.

The thread scrolls up quite a ways and they're currently going at it for "who gets the last word"

TIL Andrew was an undergrad instructor of hers. Apparently he offered to host a debate between her and a gender critical person next year, guessing to promote a book or something.

Why are y’all drunk tonight?

I voted no because I will lose an obscene amount of money if he does this

What a stupid thing to do. The government just pilfers those taxes anyway. 90% is wasted and pilfered in the hands of government. The money will do more for humanity in the hands of musk than in the hands of the taxspending degenerates.

I just noticed something, https://old.reddit.com/user/tree_boom does nothing more than post obsessively over and over in musk related subreddits. For as far back as I'm willing to scroll.

I get the neg sentiment towards pharma, but really, it’s not all bad. Pls, before you try to kill the industry, let them finish perfecting the vax’s and treatments for covid and all the other diseases that plague mankind. https://t.co/5iB9CPwZSu

Stolen from /tv/:

"He’s a troubled guy,” said Mr Trump duringa radio interview. “There’s something wrong with him. I’ve watched him for years. He gets into fistfights with reporters. Look, I don’t like reporters. I like some, some are great, some are talented, but you don’t get into fistfights. I mean, everything he does, he’s a volatile guy. He’s a nutjob.” “If they handed me a gun, I would never point it at somebody and shoot it, you know,” Mr Trump said. “I don’t care about checking the gun, you know, you can look at [it] any which way [...] It’s not even like an actress that’s on set with you, this was a cinematographer, so that means he took the gun and pointed it at a cinematographer, pulled the trigger and she was dead. It’s weird.” He continued: “I think just by natural [instinct]... I think I would have pointed it up in the air, but you can also look to see if it’s loaded. But who would take a gun and point it at a cinematographer and pull the trigger, and she’s dead.” “Maybe he loaded it,” Mr Trump said. "There’s something wrong with him, he’s a sick guy.”

The former president then criticised Mr Baldwin’s performances duringSaturday Night Live.

The wage gap used to be a huge topic in internet discourse, but I haven't heard about it in a long time. Even though there are still many, many people who deny that it exists at all.
