Employers figured out years ago that caffeine has excellent ROI for productivity. (Amphetamines are probably a close second, but we won’t talk about that right now.)

For Intel to cut basic morale boosters was just pure silliness.

I have been seeing some positive vibes coming from .ml over the last day or so. Kinda cool, actually.

At the time, the account on my client showed multiple, duplicated comments. It was very similar to the comment-copy bots on Reddit and YouTube. Lemmy has since normalized, and the comment history is “normal” now.

With more history established now, I would say OP is still a bot regardless if he is aware of that or not.

Oh, OP is already contributing, for sure.

Fucking bot.

Well, that tracks. Given the quality of articles you post, you actually wouldn’t have any idea what I am referencing.

And what are you, six? Usually kids stop using that kind of argument after kindergarten.

Fucking hell you are tapped into the weirdest news sources in the world.

The is literal content farm garbage you spew. It takes about 2 or 3 mins of searching to dig into this stuff to find a cyclical mess of fake companies and AI generated trash.

Are you really that fucking stupid?

Those were words, yes.

How the fuck you were able to mash them together like that is beyond me.

I know that is abused for lots of crap autogenerated YouTube videos.

De-escalation is easy: Russia can get the fuck out of Ukraine. All of it.

I just ignored all the ads and any news, so you are likely correct. I did think that most of the games were mobile, but I must have been mistaken in thinking it was playable on Netflix clients on your TV or something.

I used to play Pac-Man on my old FireTV with the controller while I was killing time in the mornings before work, so I thought it was similar in that regard.

It should have been a AAAAA studio. That is where they fucked up.

Or, they fucked up thinking that people wanting to watch movies wanted to play games…

Not unless a random search takes me there for a non-answer to my obscure question.

A hypothesis is absolutely fair game. I am not going to spend the time to prove it right or wrong in this case, but it’s still 100% legit in my book.

(Just don’t go telling your child spawn that space pot… err… space teapots are definitely the reason that time travel could be possible.)

Good. Let’s keep it that way.

I hate myths, even ones with good intentions. Things like “Santa” are just teaching kids to be disappointed and that their parents are full of shit.

As a side comment, what in the actual fuck is the tooth fairy?

None of this stuff makes any sense to me, whatsoever.

1. You literally launched into a “bUt thE lIbrUls” line.

2. Lol. “A study.” A guy who wrote a book on it disagrees with your 2/3rds number.

3. Look harder.

Did you really just use the “It’s fake, but it’s not really fake, so blame someone else”, line? Holy fuck, you’re cracked.

Hate crimes have been on a rapid increase since (surprise) 2016, which aligns perfectly with trumpisim giving racists permission to come out of their closet.

Even in this community, rhetoric is amplified with the number of anti-immigration posts during election cycles and anti-muslim posts for filler. That is very on-brand.

Let’s entertain your idea that this was staged. This event would be just a blip on the radar and is still conservative branding, even if your politicians have to deny it when pressed for public statements.

It’s still doesn’t change that the Republican party coddles white supremacy and their behavior aligns with that ideology. One could say it has been a consistent trend.

So, it’s not really a “false flag operation” if that is actually the real nature of the right and far-right. These events just just help “Unite the Right”, as it were.

If you look past Facebook, the same person was identified by police handing out fliers linked to GDL.

I am assuming your cockiness is because of those rants about antifa on Facebook where the boat owners address was shown. For one, I am surprised that a person who lives in a place like that could afford that kind of boat.

Something-nazis. Neo or whatever, the swastikas give it away.

Regardless, white supremacy is a common underpinning of trumpisim. Fake boat show or not, there is an established history already. If the slogan “America First” didn’t give that away as well, you are actually an idiot.

Edit: Oh yeah, there is the common “let’s blame antifa” line. Is that not getting repetitive for you? While I have never personally met anyone in antifa, I do know a bunch of conservative nazis/KKK, personally, from where I grew up. This boating event is not really a surprise to me. Still, it’s cute watching you react the way you do.
