I should note that I'm not saying Microsoft is better or smarter, merely that Microsoft as a corporation is a software company so it examines the markets entirely different than Sony and Nintendo do. Microsoft can foresee, even if they can't articulate it, the idea of "Xbox" that exists above any specific hardware because this already exists for the company and it's called Windows. (Or Office or Server or...)
This is also why I tend to be more positive towards Microsoft than most gamers capital-G or not, it seems silly to ignore what they've done with their actual near monopolies.

Trans athletes is my favorite topic that they sperg out over and are 100% wrong on, but they're so short sighted, they rather die on that hill, so it leads to them name calling and lashing out at transphobes hidden in their mist. Because what else is left when you've lost the argument? Shaming and appeal to emotion.

If you want to blind yourself to how politics works, go for it. And yeah, now that they are party policies they are party policies. That's why Biden supports abortion rights despite being Catholic and personally against it. Nah, you don't get to talk this crackpot bullshit thinking they can pull this apparently easy switcheroo behind the scenes, and say that I'm blind to how politics work. You have the political acumen of a toaster.

haziq correctly pointing out that the prevailing resetti correct opinion changed and is being pushed insanely hard by one mod, of course he's been unpersoned.

Anyone know if getting shot at has changed Trump's mind on the big beautiful dome of iron? Weirdly this wasn't mentioned in his speech. I'd be upset if he now wants personal domes for every individual instead of that one giant one.

He also got permanently banned from the constructive thread for 'attacking moderation staff'. They still did not respond to him:
Draconian wrote:Suggesting he has dementia or calling him senile is not difficult to avoid. We even had another post calling Bernie Sanders "decrepit" which must be perfectly fine as well because no action has been taken on it either. It's ageism plain and simple and the non-response we've gotten for mentioning it here speaks volumes and is embarrassing.

Posting it there instead of just being open and chatting about it here is disingenuous.
Quote:Update: Furthermore, one reason the GLP has “received many emails from desperately worried parents” is that they have been soliciting such emails on social media. And there is, at the very least, a large question mark over the unsubstantiated suicide figures given to the GLP by the unidentified “NHS whistleblower” – one detailed analysis of the available sources provisionally concludes that, between 2017 and 2024, there were only three confirmed or possible suicides of trans-identifying young people using Gender Identity Development Services, and that in each case the young person had an extremely complex medical history.

lol, Israel does a bad thing, not allowing a field hospital for sick children, and this guy somehow feels the need to come up with a fake scenario about how they're even more evil. I guess he wanted to make sure to let people know that he believes every Israeli is a monster
