Well, to quote people like Pence: respect the office, abhor the man. It’s something like that, anyways.

Yet again, fuck “Dr.” Phil.

I know, right? WTF?

That’s quite interesting and informative. Though what I learned from the Customs and Border Protection guy is that the requirements to be a Customs and Border Protection employee must be really damn low.

Also: how many wooden ship were they using then?

“someone needs to give this man a couple crash courses in defense theory”

So Trump suggested that the military increase its cybersecurity by getting rid of all its electronic communication and only use couriers with printed messages to convey information*. So what’s that as a cost/saving?

I was just reading about the dysfunction in the transition team (people who know what they’re doing are apparently leaving the team), and Republicans who had worked in various government roles previously have been offering to help out - but the response by the Trump team has been so toxic that they were warning others…

Yeah, although plenty of Republicans who detest him are also willing to whore themselves out to him (and we’re seeing people offering to help for no other reason than to keep him from making terrible, terrible mistakes). Trump is famous for holding grudges, and we know he hires people for his own, perverse reasons. …

If, even after a couple hours of play, you can’t get a satisfying experience, there’s something seriously wrong with the game.

“Has no one on his transition team ever done this before?”

“clearly have a far better sense of how the American government works”

“Call them what they are Pro-Birthers.”

I admit to a wee bit of hyperbole, and in recent years things are changing a bit. But it’s still pretty bad - things are changing in that some people are getting an inkling that maybe video games could be something more than they’ve been, in form and genre. These days, ease of access to game-making tools has…

Actually, it’s a highly reasonable way of looking at an industry. (And I say that as a game developer.) You’re confusing competence at a job with uncritical love for the product. The latter isn’t necessary for the former. (Otherwise no one would make pet food.) Even the film industry does not demand this of its…

You make the central mistake of people with your position - that people are trying to replace the games you like with something else. They aren’t. They’re trying to expand the offerings. The movie industry started with the Lumière brothers showing a movie of a train arriving at a station. It was very popular. Now…

“Trump will be out in 4 to 8 years”

“trump is one silly president for 4 years”
