Do they track the number of times a specific title was checked out?

I’m sure that info is pretty valuable to track reading trends.

JK pushed a tweet out explaining that she always envisioned Hermione as a black girl.

It was at the beginning of her descent into madness.

I’ve been feeling more and more that I want to quit the internet almost entirely.

Like you can’t get away from it completely and gaming is still fun but all of the social aspects have either become slop or incredibly toxic.

“Not the only black character in harry potter btw”

Yeah everyone forgets about Hermione

I blame social media for making voters complacent. For like 10 years it’s been the same bullshit, “there’s a schism in the repubs,” “his base will turn on him,” " he’s liable to stroke any day now," ect with absolutely no progress.

It’s been a nonstop stream of promises that this will sort itself out or that his opposition is guaranteed to win.

If the target has been to make people not feel like voting that’s been achieved multiple times over.

You should consider how your extremely polarized views can blind you to relatively obvious truths.

I can’t lay it out more simply than I have, if you still can’t see what I’m saying then the most respectful way possible: please go touch grass you’ve clearly had too much internet.

I feel like you may be conflating my understanding of her non-acceptance into the community with being ok with animal cruelty.

I’m not and I don’t think the cows should wear the bells.

I just think that as an outsider challenging deeply held cultural beliefs she shouldn’t have expected to be welcomed as a citizen of that community.

It was an extremely unrealistic expectation to have.

You tremble before the might of dd/yy/mm

The bells were measured and found to Be loud enough to damage the cows hearing.

If I recall correctly the bells right at like 100db which is like a concert or a lawnmower.

I think it’s kinda cruel to the cows but I also get where it’s crazy to show up, tell everyone how to shit and then expect to be invited into the community for it.

They may be trying to muscle in on traditional console territory.

Steam has a well tenured reputation for having inexpensive games. They may be leveraging this to appeal to the console players turned off by the all recent price hikes.

I suspect the gabecube may be close to if not, at cost. I don’t think it’ll be at a loss.

Gabe has previously claimed that they developed the index because they didn’t want VR to die and even gave grants the game developers who made VR titles.

So it’s established that Steam is big enough and secure enough to risk cultivating new or disrupting old markets.

Operationally steam has low overhead and insane profit margin. Unless they fuck up the steam store they’re guaranteed massive profit.

If the new hardware flops and they lose a bit of money; Gabe just buys one less yacht and steam ticks on as normal.

" the left and center chose not to show up because the dumb motherfuckers thought that both sides would be the same"

Blame reddit and the DNC basically buying it. Nobody was excited for Kamala so they gaslit everyone into thinking she became Jesus 2.0 and would slam dunk it.

Kamala remained unlikable the entire time despite what the gaslighting campaign says.

When people were told her winning was a sure thing they said “I don’t have to hold my nose if everyone else is.”

We desperately need change with how our candidates are selected because if another fucking neoliberal (Newsome) runs we definitely won’t have another election.

In the Epstein emails someone asked if Putin has pictures of trump blowing Putin.

It’s become a meme/phenomenon because fuck trump and it recontextualizes his actions in an extremely funny way. Especially the 2016 campaign

I honestly wonder if people like that are just bots because they only ever argue in bad faith regardless of how tone deaf or obviously wrong they are.

Yeah it’s deeply hypocritical that some of the same people that claim to be progressive immediately revert to body shaming and sexism.

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or if you’re legitimately responding to a complaint about polarizing escalation replacing conversation by escalating and polarizing the conversation.

I got fucking blasted here for saying a meme calling Charlie Kirk wife a slut sexist.

Talking with .ml users, turns out you really can’t fix stupid

“you’re wrong but I can’t articulate why” isn’t super compelling

Show me an implementation that doesn’t end up like that.

I don’t care about some great pie in the sky ideals, show me a real tangible example of a communist government that doesn’t violate its citizens for “their own good.”

Says the guy who cried fallacy but couldn’t name what it is.

You’re not a serious person, I engaged with what you said and you couldn’t respond with shit. You are obviously just pissed that I preempted what you were going to say.
