Oh the emails for sure! I’m sorry that was so vague!

I’m legitimately confused, what motivation could they possibly have to do this deliberately?

Oh, I was mostly referencing the hacking. Honestly most of this is just down to people believing stupid shit they read on the internet.

Especially not my friends!! Are you calling my friends liars!?

I mean, you don’t have to tamper with voting machines for an election result to be manipulated. Voter suppression and foreign action WERE factors in the election outcome. It’s just that no one tampered with the machines or the count itself, so it wasn’t very literally rigged.

Whaaaaaat? That review we all knew was going to confirm the vote totals confirmed the vote totals?!?

Yeah, I know I think two people who could tell you ANYTHING about jewelry beyond “it is sparkly and red” and they’re both revolting social climbers whose opinion I don’t give a shit about.

I don’t know what it was but the demo just didn’t speak to me. I normally love stealth games, strategy games, and stealth/strategy games (invisible inc is an all time fave) but shadow tactics just didn’t click for me.

Yeah, this. Subsidizing in exchange for things like timed exclusivity is how you get the software market off the ground when your hardware costs ~$800.

Honestly it’s pretty famously something of a rogue’s gallery at this point.

Mmm, “entrenched and arrogant,” not like those plebeian, salt-of-the-earth types on the Time editorial board.

Blood for the Blood Gods!

They can’t because that’s not how treasury securities work. What China owns is a big old pile of US treasury bonds. They can’t call those in any more than a private citizen can, the repayment terms are on a contractual structure. The worst they could do is dump their bonds onto the exchanges market at less than their…

This is the real danger of a Trump presidency. He’s going to be largely unable to identify self-interested advice because he’s never dealt with advisors with this kind of highly specialized self-interest. No one was advising Trump enterprises to invest in Tampa over Ft. Lauderdale because it would upend the balance of…
