  • About time - their polls have been divorced from reality for some time. While previously “leaning right” would be a fair description of a moderate bias, in the last few years they completely went off the deep end.

  • “Most indie companies” neither hire consultants nor add a bunch of full time employees - they don’t have the money for it. At first I was thinking you just didn’t understand how games are made, but now I’m thinking you don’t understand how general business works.

  • So you admit you provided a bullshit YouTube link because you’re not engaging with any sort of good faith intent to inform?

    You must be fun at parties

  • Well, I guess if the claim is not worth backing up, it’s probably not worth listening to. Thanks!

  • So you’d hire a full time employee while paying for a recruitment process, on-boarding, and then full pay and benefits to help write a game that may take three years to complete and may never actually be completed or released and may never receive a sequel. Oh and your next project might not be suitable for their skills. Genius! Can’t wait to see what games your gaming company releases!

    Hell, why stop there - Every Hollywood movie studio should also just hire a bunch of in-house writers and have them write everything. You think movies are bland and unoriginal now - just you wait! And why do book publishers work with so many different authors? They should just hire 12 or so and have them write everything? 🙄

  • <hands you shovel since you just seem to like digging yourself further in the hole>

    So let me get this straight in terms of your POV: things that are incorrect shouldn’t be corrected? Especially in the context of a bunch of neckbearded incels who doxxed, swatted, and generally hounded people during that whole GamerGate stupidity?!

    Yeah, I really can’t understand why someone looking at the history might want to investigate and correct if needed wildly inaccurate claims. /s

  • That may be the dumbest take I’ve heard on this. With that kind of “logic”, it would mean maybe the Earth really is flat, because so many people are outraged that someone could believe something that stupid. More “We’re just asking questions here” bullshit used as a smokescreen for rampant bigotry and misogyny.

  • So you don’t actually have a source then? What a surprise considering your post history and the communities you’re a mod for.

  • You can’t reason someone out of an opinion they didn’t reason themselves into.

  • And by not voting for Biden, how do you expect the issue you care about is going to be addressed by a Trump administration? I’m in my 50s and have never been a fan of Joe Biden or most of the “centrist” Democratic Party - but you can sure as hell believe I’ll be casting a vote for him in November.

  • With IVF, multiple embryos are grown and then analyzed - the best are implanted, the rest are usually either destroyed or (with the donors’ permission) used for research. You literally can’t conduct IVF without destroying some of the embryos.

  • Interesting points, and I’m sure the Uyghurs I know who got asylum in the US would find your explanation of events hard to reconcile that with their own lived experience. Especially for the ones who survived “re-education” camps or who still have family members there. But you go ahead keep going with your agitprop bullshit.

  • Wow, you’re really good at this whole propaganda thing! Any idea why China would want to distract from the real issues surrounding the Uyghurs? It wouldn’t be ethnic cleansing, would it?

  • I do as well - just because I live in a backwards country doesn’t mean I have to be backwards too

  • It’s not a census year (only on the 10s in the US) and I’ve been involved in politics for more than three decades and the federal census has never been used to remove anyone from the voter rolls anywhere I’ve been. The personal data is not publicly available for 70 years except as anonymized, abstracted data.

    EDIT: I did double-check myself and yeah, the Fed census has no impact on voter rolls. There are some places that do a city/town census - especially in Massachusetts - where you can be marked as “inactive” if you don’t complete a local census. You can still cast a ballot and are still on the rolls, but it will require some assertion that you still live in the same residence. But that’s a pretty limited edge case.

  • Can we put him in charge of security at the Republican National Convention next year?
