The documents were delivered by GOP congresspeople during Trump's term, over a July 4 holiday.

I don't think anyone seriously is claiming Biden is without issue. Only that now is too late to call for replacing him.

They are basically the "blue no matter who" people. I'll probably be one this election too, considering the alternative.

That used to be Google, when they were interested in providing quality results and showing ads alongside those results, instead of just.. being an ad company.

Before that, it was Yahoo, when they were interested in providing quality results, and showing ads, instead of just being an ad company.

Before that, it was AltaVista, when they were...

...Ask Jeeves...

We'll see who's next.

The loss of credibility is not because it's discord,. specifically.

It's because the project thinks a chat platform is an appropriate way to document a project. I would feel the same way if someone told me to get on IRC for docs, or Slack.

Paid mods is almost never a good thing for the game itself.

Almost every mod out there is addressing some (real or perceived) deficiency in the base game. Good game studios look at what's popular and either pull those features into the base game, or work with the modder to do the same.

Adding a paid mod system changes that cooperative relationship into an adversarial one, where modders see their revenue stream attacked by the game maker.

(Except maybe the make everyone nude mods)

The story I'm hearing elsewhere is he pulled the alarm to delay the vote, as Republicans are violating their "72 hours to read the bill" rule they agreed to at the start of this Congressional term.

While I don't condone the actions, the result was a delay, long enough for representatives to read a bill they are voting on, which is something that should always be allowed.

This becomes suddenly far more understandable when you open the article and notice the band director isn't white.

It's only stupid if you think Microsoft wants to retain employees.

The tech industry is contracting after over expanding during the pandemic and, instead of layoffs, MS is hoping to get to their budget cuts by attrition.

Is it really a boycott if you simply can't make the payments?

Not that I mind.

This is the same demographic that overwhelmingly votes for Republicans. I am finding it very hard to empathize.

That said, perhaps this train wreck will serve as an object lesson for the next generation about creating and maintaining social safety nets.

Young people have jobs

Old people are retired.

Voting is on a Tuesday.

One of the underlying reasons for turnout is pretty simple.
