Jack Smith files to drop Jan. 6 charges against Donald Trump
  • I want him to get drunk, go on a podcast, and just spill the tea. What does he really think. I mean, I think I know, but I'd love to hear his honest opinion of the games that were played, who dropped the ball, and what he thinks of all the players, outside of what we glean from the filings.

  • Is this the future of Windows?
  • That's really steep for what you're getting, I think. As a "PC Replacement" at home I can see there being a place for this. If you don't need local compute, why not stream it. Steam Link was $50 and has the same basic concept, except for games.

  • Bernie Would Have Won. Seriously.
  • Maybe, maybe not. Looking at the answers from her "AOC and Trump" voter cross-section, it seems like you just need to run someone who's "genuine." Both of them are seen as genuine or real (whether that's true or not, it doesn't matter).

    Populism can cut both ways and AOC might be just the ticket we need.

  • Women report increased misogyny online post-election
  • I queued with two guys in a video game Wednesday morning who spouted that line. I was taken aback. How do you effectively respond to someone who says that? I didn't handle it well, but I have thought about it a lot since it happened. I remember playing with shock humor when I was in high school, but that is beyond the pale.

  • So glad for Trump
  • This the the answer. The two major tenets of his platform are "raise tarrifs" (inflationary!) and "deport immigrants" (raising costs on production). Shit is going to get more expensive, but it won't matter if facts continue not to matter and you have a boogieman to shake your stick at.

  • Buyers Are Avoiding Teslas Because Elon Musk Has Become So Toxic
  • Same thing with Twitter. I went from seeing a linked/embedded tweet and clicking it to really having a bit of a crisis in the form of: "do I really need to click on that or can I do literally anything else to get the same information?" (e.g. how I saw facebook/instagram links before)

  • What is your background? MOBA or FPS?
  • FPS for the most part, though I've played Dota. I find Deadlock much easier to approach as an FPS. Something about Dota just felt like I was playing with one hand tied behind my back. I could not, for the life of me, get proficient at jungling, but here it makes a lot more sense to me. Last hitting feels more intuitive to me. I think the spirit orb mechanic is fantastic as a skill game against your lane opponent.

  • What would you replace the "pledge of allegiance" with?
  • The Pledge of Allegiance is what kids say, not the Star Spangled Banner. The Pledge is a little light on drama and more nationalist than patriotic imo. Not too terribly bad, except for the "under God" part they added in 1954.

  • Deadlocked is one of the funnest games I've played in a while
  • Want to throw me an invite? I really want to try it, but none of my friends are on it. I stopped playing OW when they jumped the shark and announced OW2. You can only play if you know someone who is playing, right?

  • Every goddamn time
  • Agreed, outside of union employees (teachers, police, teamsters) what employer is paying into pensions still? Certainly no small businesses are, right? Pensions are largely dead. I don't know the numbers, but small business owners bigger costs are providing healthcare and other benefits, not pensions. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but this person sounds like they're a centrist democrat on both sides of the economic/social divide.
