My guess is because these assholes all already own red hats and it's easier to resell them a palate swap.

Well when rent is due or stomach is empty, you don't assess the fiscal responsibility of debt you pay the piper and live another day. Some people live paycheck to paycheck and one accident can send them into a death spiral of debt due to no fault of their own.

The purpose of universities is to educate not to make money. The money is a secondary reward for doing the primary thing. If the money supercedes the education then the core is rotten.

Universities selling unearned degrees for money are cannibalising their reputation in the process and as a result are damaging the reputation of the industry as a whole. This needs to stop.

"Hahahaha don't you see that by being mildly mean to those sitting idle while fascism takes hold you were in fact just as bad?"

That's how you sound.

Isn't the Daily Wire funded by oil barons? I wouldn't put them in the same category as MR which is entirely funded by their viewers and a handful of sponsors.

Another example of "strong men" being unimaginably weak.

I think this is precisely why I have such a visceral reaction to blurring swear words and using euphemisms like 'unalive'.

Language naturally evolves over time but I really don't like the idea that it's being disproportionately influenced by social media companies and their shitty algorithms trying to please advertisers. Yuck!

You sure as shit better not stay home on election day with that attitude.

Prey 2017 was one of the best immersive sims ever made. It wasn't what people were expecting which led to a flop that nearly destroyed the studio. If you get the chance please please don't sleep on it.

There was an unfounded rumor (now discredited) that it was supposed to be called Neuroshock. If it had been called that then players would have had a better idea what kind of game it is.

Yeah the mystery of the triangle was puffed up by disingenuous authors who lied and fudged details to pretend ships went missing all the time. Things like reporting ships missing but not their eventual returns, claiming there were no storms when records showed otherwise, including sinkings and crashes that happened well outside the triangle, and a bunch more.

When the the data is analysed; the number of incidents is the same as anywhere else on the planet.
