Abandon fucking ship!

Only thing of note is it's a 2019 article, which means yeah this will come in woke as fuck due to inertia. We're still watching them all hit the iceberg, the first few hit and are taking on water because of it, the next few see the iceberg now but can't move in time to avoid it.

Remember, takes 5-10 years to make a big title. We won't see post-woke games until 2027-2030 or so. But at the same time, these companies only release 1-2 big titles a year and they simply cannot tank a bunch of consumers refusing to be consoomers.
it probably won't beat infinte.
thats a high bar.
 
Rumeysa Ozturk was detained by ICE after her F1 visa was revoked for supporting Hamas in an OPED for Tufts university
She just wrote in support of them? Didn't like send money or something? If so, then that's rather disappointing in the land of Free Speech. And yes, to forestall the replies, I am aware the law may not protect a non-citizen, but the spirit of America is supposed to be that speech is sacrosanct.
Trump signs election order calling for proof of U.S. citizenship to vote
Is there any nuance in this being "proof of US citizenship" rather than "Voter ID"? Because the latter has always seemed sensible and easy to provide to me. I don't know what you would need to prove citizenship but it sounds like a much higher bar.

NATO says they died

"NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said Wednesday that four U.S. soldiers who went missing while training in Lithuania have died,"

Article says they went missing along with their tank

Probably a training accident
It might be a training accident. But "training accident" is also what typically gets communicated back to families when a soldier was sent on something they need to keep underwraps. I'd give 50/50 on them having been up to something over the border in Ukraine.
 
Article says they went missing along with their tank

Probably a training accident
that's like describing operation desert storm as "Sadams republican guard went missing along with their tanks"

4 bodies and a tracked vehicle without an immediate release of the reason usually means something went super sideways, you remember when that f35 crashed? they were super quick to come out and say it was a training exercise cause a f35 being downed for any other reason is scary.

why release the deaths and not say its a training accident if it was? also do I need to remind anyone how close Lithuania is to Belarus and Russia?

Every one of these retarded companies will cull themselves because they genuinely think "Sales were down on this game because of x gameplay issue/bad release timing/bad advertising" instead of "No one wants to play a game with genderqueer latinxes sodomizing each other" and always blame gameplay or the economy being down.
How this affect our Democracy™️ and Blacks?
If what they say "Blacks are too dumb/lazy to find an office max to print documents from" is true they shouldn't be voting at all.
 
Sorry to hear about @Gehenna. They were a quality poster.
Also, were they tucker carlsons dad and was the poster who broke the news tucker carlson?
They did talk about making a new KF account to not interfere with their 'work' but just to break the news?

Either way. Sorry for your loss and, while it's just a forum, Gehenna made a positive impact on many peoples lives.
 
Well, On Sunday my dad @Gehenna passed away. He had been having heart issues for a while and he took a bad turn over the weekend. he had, rather playfully, mentioned the "Nutters and secret geniuses" in the thread and had fondly mentioned a few of you guys by username. So I thought to tell you all who held a special place in his jaded heart.
No matter how many times it happens, hearing this makes me stop in my tracks. I was completely fuming earlier today about some stuff, but checking in on the thread today, seeing this, and finding out it's all true made my just sink into my seat. Even knowing he was an older fella doesn't make it feel like any less of a gut punch.
This is his computer, I signed out of his account before making this one.

Hey, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Using a new account since my main one for KF I'd prefer to keep WELL away from his work but. Well, On Sunday my dad @Gehenna passed away.

He just told us last week that Chuck Schumer keeps his hands in his pockets a lot when he speaks on the Senate floor because he's sensitive about his small hands. I'm not saying Schumer was involved here, just that the timing can't be ignored.

Condolences! He seemed to have lived a full, rich life and it was a blessing to have known him, even in this strange anonymous form.
 
Trump is giving remarks on Women's History Month and just announced that he intends to make a Women's History Museum on the national mall.

watching live here
What does he mean by women's history? In terms of politics or other contributions that American women have made over time?

IMHO, you cannot have a women's history museum without including at least one Old Hollywood actress.
