There is a problem. Because it’s not about refraining from talking about Hong Kong during their casts and during competitions.

So all that talk for the last few days about how Riot wasn’t asking people to not promote Hong Kong, and how Blizzard wasn’t trying to make it more difficult for people to delete their accounts - we find that, once again, that’s not the case.

This is an idiotic take. This is, massively, ignorant as all hell.

Logging onto your accounts, playing the games, etc., even if you aren’t paying for anything is supporting the business in their numbers development.

Me too, I didn’t know about Paradox.

Her beginnings were on social media back in the early parts of the 2010's, she joined a TV show in 2016. Try again!

Okay. I don’t think it was supposed to?

This was sarcasm.

This was sarcasm.

As I said to another, she is still using the influencer mentality, design, and production to become the ‘anti-influencer’ which is in itself designed to sell products, ideas, and books - despite what that looks like to others on the outside, she is very much using the same damn tool in the same fashion.

Her entire catalog begins as an influencer, even having her own instagram devoted to her brand of influencing and the brands she supported. Much of her ‘personal brand’, the most late-stage-capitalism term there is, is cultivated and produced via instagram. 

Maybe it’s because influencers are a bad thing, and need to go away? It’s just slightly-more-attractive-than-average people selling you lifestyle based on marketing schemes, and being ‘woke’ is what is marketable right now.

And in case you want to boycott companies that Tencent puts money into: https://www.pcgamer.com/every-game-company-that-tencent-has-invested-in/

The point you touch on by saying ‘developers insist their games are apolitical’: nothing on this planet is apolitical, and to insist otherwise is to show ignorance and privilege.

Trump’s claims that he’s never touched alcohol and never had so much a sniff of drugs in his life is the biggest lie he’s told.

Which is surprising for Pat, considering how many nonwhite folks are suffering. I figured he’d be clicking his heels.,

If by nail you mean “the Righteous Nail of the Cross of Christ’s Forgiveness for a Complex Man”, then yes.

But we knew this. We all knew this. He didn’t try to hide that fact, and he didn’t deny that fact.

Regardless of Bush’s whole thing in the Middle East (which, you know, was clearly cruel and unnecessarily evil), Bush was deeply against homosexual rights and put the cause of gay marriage back by 8 years.

Which is why I said, explicitly, look for new work and don’t leave immediately.
