By “industry” I refer to the game industry. That has slowly moved from supplying games to our-in-the-sky futures.
Game stop is the last beacon of first-sale doctrine. We’ve moved to the point where the gamers get screwed at the whims of an investment board. Where a company fists off a game and then uses the DMCA to stop gamers from playing.

As far as the base story goes, as little as I understand it: anyone who invests based on a company’s failure, who puts money against a company, as pure evil.
That is so far and away from the original point of holding shares in a company that its beyond outright disgusting. It’s evil.
Besides, Trump is only three years younger than Biden—or did you conveniently forget that fact?
Age is only a tertiary factor with dementia.
Hillary Clinton live rent-free in your head…
Says the person who somehow always get’s back to trump?
has committed as leader of North Korea…
Interesting you turn to the DPRK and not China or Iran.
But the fastest way to reach a solution to a problem is to confront the problem.
What do you suggest. They were a bit past the ignore-them stage of development! Or maybe you just want to bomb them and be done with it? Since mass murder of innocents is a way to solve problems: right?
That said: Republican obstructionism
All obstructing. Part of the hope with trump back at the beginning was an outsider. That was the same with Obama coming in.
Unfortunately the machine that is Washington destroys all ideals.
Both parties are controlled by people who are nothing more than pocket book slaves.
Both parties are spearheaded by people who are only concerned with keeping their seat in office. And at the least, finding a golden parachute for private transition.
wanted him to make things even worse
I kind of figured it wouldn’t be much more than more of the same.
Biden in his current state (at the time) was an absolute unknown.
And the January 6th
Subversion of democracy? Yes. It was remotely possible. Unlikely but possibly.
Insurrection? No. That involves overthrowing the current government. Trump was president.
In the most left wing conspiracy aspect of it it would have been preventing a transition of government, not overthrow.
Which is sedition, not insurrection.
By the way: on the way out there possibility that someone actually intended to, and did, hang pence, that would be treason. Not insurrection.
…you’re sounding a hell of a lot like a Bible thumper…
Lilith is extra-biblical. She’s an aspect of pre-Judæan myth and religion. A myth that is continually roped into un-official texts of many religions. Beyond the book people you find her in Greek, Roman, Babylon, Turk, Persia, Hindu, Tao…
Her rebellion was a foundational view for women’s rights. She would not be subjugated.
Unfortunately she would spend eternity raping both men and women and eating their offspring.
And as such you can see my characterisation of her as a false god leader. One who would devour the very people she pretends to represent.
Yeah, none of that shit between (and including) those sentences was ever going to happen…
Hence why I said “I would have” and not he should have.
For what reason are you so hesitant to admit that you voted not for the Donald Trump you want me to believe he is, but for who Donald Trump really is: a hateful, spiteful, petty, violent, attention-seeking man-child who will literally hurt himself if it means someone else gets hurt worse?
I’m not. I made my choice. I accept that choice came with much baggage. Some of it will take a lot of time to correct.
Now we have another set of stupid errors on top of it.
I would have been very happy to vote for 16s Dem #2 who actually had a plan to support his social agenda. Instead they rigged their own internal system to hand the country the gore hound traitorous bytch.
I would have been happy with a few of the options put forward for 20. Instead we got a man with diminished function who would only deteriorate further in office. The perfect puppet for the queen of darkness and her acolytes to control.
I fully recognise what that second vote was for. A continuation of the same problems. And the few things I wanted that actually were being worked on. What I didn’t want was a new clintonian mess on top of it.
Right now we don’t have Biden working on getting us out of trump’s mess. We have him generally ignoring that and making a new mess of his own. Well, not his. I don’t blame Biden for “his” mess because he’s not the one making it willingly. He just says what he’s told, signs what he’s told, does what he’s told.
At this point I no longer care who or what. As long as SOMEBODY does SOMETHING. The government is absolutely, totally, completely, out of control.
Every branch, every dpt, doing what ever it wants with no guidance or control or constraints.
This is as close to total chaos the country has ever come.
Hell, I’d actually consider queen Lilith right now.
Largely. Not completely. And no: white suprematists are fuckturds.
You think it’s Democrats who don’t care about free, fair, and secure elections?
Congress didn’t need to investigate…
Etc.
I know this will be hard for you: just for a moment. Put yourself in the fanatics that were there. You’ve got the like of OAN and The Patriot as your News.
Brainwashed with the premise that the party that couldn’t secure their own servers some how pulled off some great conspiracy?
From their point of view, the really believed it.
I understand why they were there.
I support their right to protest, to complain, to petition. I support that right for all Americans. Up until you break the law.
You think it’s Democrats who don’t care about free, fair, and secure elections?
Never said that. Actually can’t understand why they won’t support a national ID though.
Just to be clear: You’re fine with people protesting American democracy itself?
No, but I support your right to do so.
Are you afraid of Trumpist Republicans voting to curtail your civil rights because you’re queer?
I prefer bi or pan. And yes; very afraid that republicans will vote against lgbt rights.
Hence my concern about the filibuster.
You nuke it now, and come 22 there’s nothing to stop that from happening.
Think about all the things you hate about Trump policy. Being passed with no debate at all.
Even worse, think about the people behind trump. The real white suprematists. The real threats. The real minority of the party. The crazy’s like magic the gathering.
With nothing between them and passage?
Stop all inbound travel of non citizens. Not just the source country as he intended to do.

Discuss the importance of 95% filtration masks
Work with congress to fund and make available n95 masks in bulk so every American can get them, and get them free of charge.
Those steps alone would have greatly reduced the plague spread.
I would have immediately implemented federal n95 mask mandates for federal properties and made sure those masks were available at the entrance.
I would have pushed for states to do the same for state properties.
And worked to supply fema funds to pay for those masks.
I would have pushed for a voucher program to distribute n95 masks free of charge to businesses small and large to implement their own private mandates.
I would have implemented an employment mandate for masking. No mask no work. And worked with the SSA to make those masks available to employers for employees.
I would have implemented a national emergency mandate that stopped production of generic paper disposable masks and directed all production to transition to n95 production.
I would have directed the department of education to develop a federal method of in home remote learning to be implemented nationwide and funded by the government for every public educational institution.
I would have directed the interior and executive departments to do the same for federal employees so that all federal functions continued remotely.
I would have directed the same for congress. To make all members work from offices and remain off the floor.
And indirectly related: I would have used presidential mandate to force congress to vote on a consistent method of voting for this (2020) election. A guarded chain of custody directive. And required counts to be done under clear close action cameras. Allowing segregated poll watchers to see all ballots remotely from separate rooms while still seeing the ballots completely as they had in the past.
Thus eliminating the entirety of the “steal” movement before it began.
You seem upset that Biden called out white supremacy. Nothing about those two sentences even remotely sounds like he’s “anti-white”.
Those are trump’s comments. Not Biden. I said trump didn’t call racists, as the intended subject, fine people.
You appear to not have followed the discussion. Or I misunderstood your statement.
Would you prefer more concentration camps, or would you prefer he send ICE agents to shoot border jumpers?
No. I prefer remain in Mexico. I prefer apprehend and deport.
Yes, because you’ve been continuously defending the crowd of Trumpists
I defend the right to protest within the boundaries of the law. Regardless of what I think of the protestors.
Because “They weren’t there to be peaceful—they were there to express anger and hatred…” could just as easily prepend ‘police violence against…’.
Protest. Just don’t break the law.
…it was a “Stop the Steal” event
Yet you refuse to condemn the protest against a free and fair election that was based on what even you admit were lies
Yes. When half of congress spent 4 months 100% ignoring or ‘whatever’ing any concern or complaints. Then nearly two months saying ‘don’t care’ enough to even contemplate.
I recognise what they are angry and why they believe what they believe. And their right to protest over that belief no matter how wrong they are.
Protest is a foundational right under a representative government.
You’re defending an attack on American democracy itself…
No. I’m not. I’m defending the right to legally gather. Hold a permitted rally. Have a protest.
Regardless of what the cause is.
Just don’t break the law. Lawbreakers should be punished.
I will stand by that statement and you can’t make me say otherwise
That makes you a rarity. The Republicans threatened to remove it when in power too. It’s not a threat of voting. Congress will flip again. As it always did and always will. The filibuster is a balance to power to mandate discussion.
Personally I think it’s too easily invoked and the numbers should be modified.
But I’m afraid of either current party having carte blanch
Of course you do. You think the crowd there on January 6th was all smiles and sunshine
Despite the many times I called out the violence and said all law breakers should be arrested?
The Trumpists weren’t in D.C. on January 6th to sing “Kumbaya”.
No. They were there to demand a full and complete review of the election process.
That some turned violent and resorted to rioting destroyed their agenda’s support from more moderate people.
Let me take a page from trump’s book:
I absolutely condemn the violence on Jan 6!
Do you think Biden would’ve done that?
I do not know. But I prefer a peaceful negotiation.
At least to start with.
The filibuster is an antiquated relic that should be nuked for the sake of making the legislature work again.
I doubt you’ll be thinking that when Republicans have a majority.
And if you’re gonna piss all over Biden for that, why aren’t you pissing all over Trump for ignoring the Church, too?
Yes. Both held majority congressional control. Both Presidents and their parties should have done something!
But you keep talking about taxing the rich. How about starting with the richest.
You must care about conservative Christians a lot, then.
I’ve made my concerns quite clear. Other party goals are collateral damage.
Oh, but you can
I absolutely denounce the far right shites and their anti vax anti mask rhetoric.
And thanks to your selfishness in not wanting to vote for a Clinton, we got Trump
Yep: definitely a better choice in my book.
Thanks to your selfishness and hatred of trump we have Biden destroying America. Thanks.
No, you don’t.
Actually I do. And my comment history shows that. Things like base income, free health care. Free education. That’s all a social base.
You can build capitalism on top of that.
But as a quick aside: Do you support a leader killing hundreds of thousands…
In retrospect there are many things trump could have done better.
In retrospect every pandemic could have been handled better.
And here’s where we differ. I’d support a ban on semi automatic hand guns. Especially small calibre ones. And at the least a much more restrictive buying regulation.
Congress is all up in, er, arms, over rifles. Rifles aren’t holding up 7-11 at 1am.
When was the last time someone knocked of a liquor store with a 24” 20 gage shotgun?
I own enough shares of AMD and WWE to make a difference in my votes.
Not to get rich but to guide the product. I “own” 15% of a DFS, a crypto company. Not to get rich but to help guide what does and does not get added to tradable commodities.
I own 45% of a company who’s sole product is an AI for entertainment recommendations.
Financially I’ve “lost” more than 2/3 of my investment. But it is one of the most used and widely deployed methods world wide.
What Wall Street is facing is people returning to the entire base premise of stock holdings.
Guiding a company on a preferred direction, the hope of profitability being secondary.
What scares them the most is companies like AMD, Taste, Umbrella, companies who’s only requirement is break even. Companies where profits are secondary to product satisfaction.
I’ve been a board member at Sega twice.
If fought to push the Universe a dozen times as an FU to the industry. Not because it would make money: it won’t. But because it would totally destroy the profits first mentality of the industry. Bring it back to games.
The media paints GameStop as an attack. That’s a steaming heap of shite. A bubble perspective of fake news.
Regardless of where it went GameStop started as the consumer middle finger to an industry that forgot it needs the consumer to buy the product.
GameStop was a dedicated response to the all-digital movement. disclosure: I owned GameStop shares before the internet revolution and own the same number of shares today. I am also a former employee of GS, EB, And FuncoLand.
After a decade of short sales and pushing companies into death, the people are fighting back. Private trade systems have returned the power to the users. And they are using that power. Crypto holdings investment has rocked WS even further as they now complete with over-night millionaires.
This isn’t criminal! It’s not manipulation, or insider, or fraud. It’s the public taking an interest in guiding the companies they life. To hell with what AS wants.
They mandate a lot of things that they don't pay for
Yep. I generally complain about much of that idea.
Maybe stop fighting the atheists (under the guise of communism) and buying rockets for Israel to fit with the nukes they claim not to have?
And start funding all these requirements?
your type don't seem to have a problem with it.
Not sure who “your type” is here. I’m more than consistently vocal the government should fund mandates.
And you’ll also keep pointing out the “BLM riots” as if the overwhelming majority of Black Lives Matter protests weren’t peaceful
No. I call out that most of those ended in violent law braking. I don’t condemn the people calling Ou cops that shoot first.
I condemn the looters that have cost a combined loss exceeding a billion dollars and the media ignoring that aspect.
motherfucker, please, miss me with this shit…anyone who owns any kind of gun(s) should have to pass an annual firearms safety course
You and I are in total agreement. Unfortunately the Dem party as a whole is not.
I own a 10 gage. I have hunting shells but it stays locked and loaded with less lethal hand made paper blank salt shells. Hurts like hell but won’t kill you. It it stored next to a P90 with the extension and butt removed. The first 2 rounds again salt!
Then:
I aim for knees.
I have no intention of killing an intruder.
In real life situations if you get close I’m more likely to just take your gun and beat you over the head with it.
In over 20 years I never had to shoot someone stateside.
Honestly, seriously, it’s more I like the taste of small game than anything else.
Confrontation? Most cases I’d just beat the crap out of you. 87% of violent confrontations occur within 10 feet. Close enough I don’t need a firearm to subdue you.
Has Biden allowed a pandemic to flourish by pushing misinformation as fact, dismissing scientists and experts…
No. But he’s let hundreds of thousand into the country illegally. The majority believed to be infected.
Has Biden given tax breaks to the wealthy
Yes. The largest source of consolidated wealth, the Catholic Church, remains tax free.
Has Biden threatened to withhold disaster funds from “red states”,
No, but if you don’t follow federal law you shouldn’t get federal funding.
kicked trans people out of the military
No
referred to racists as “very fine people
No, he’s used other terms for the anti-white people.
dismissed legitimate criticism of his time in office as “fake news
Yes
pissed all over the international allies of America
Yes. Eg France?
all but played grab-ass with fascists and dictators
Eg Iran, Ukraine
tried to ban people from entering the U.S. based on what religion they practiced
No, but no recent president has
or whipped an already-angry crowd into enough of a frothing rage
I disagree.
which was originally a Trump plan!
Well documented bull fucking shite
He totally ignored and dismissed Trump’s plan and went with his own against the advice of EVERYONE
nuke the filibuster
It’s there to protect the minority.
not giving people another pandemic stimulus check
Trump didn’t veto one
not getting rid of those tax breaks for the wealthy
Like the multi trillion dollar Catholic Church?
waiting for months to staff important cabinet decisions
Are you delusional? This very site comments on Biden’s failure to nominate for federal positions!
or, at least, not any you weren’t willing to ignore
Correct
Do you really believe trying to be one of “the good queers” by voting for Trump will save you from the GOP?
No. I hold out hope some day the Dems will offer someone who isn’t a slave to their bank account.
Think of the most vulnerable person you know, then vote in their best interests.
You do that. I know my existence is short and I’ll vote for the person most likely to be most beneficial to those I care about.
…do you even read some of the shit being said by Trump’s sycophantic followers in Congress
They’re not from my state.
I can’t do anything about them.
But have the courage to own it instead of trying to say “bUt I dOn’T sUpPoRt AlL tHaT sTuFf!”
I do. My vote is for the person most likely to support the causes I’m most concerned with. And I’m willing to knowing deal with the down sides.
2016 was a fluke. I’d literally take a bullet to the brain before voting for genocidal kill kill kill Clinton. I was a sanders supporter. I don’t doubt for a second if someone handed that turd of existence a weapon, a free shot, and immunity, she’d pull the trigger.
I believe in socialised capitalism. A free fair base safety net.
I don’t support killing thousands because the killers put money in your account.
You’re a funny funny poster.
As long as people refuse to acknowledge that the majority of those there did not break any law: I will continue to point out that fact.
You know what else can flip a state? Measures meant to curb voting rights for the {marginalised}…
Which is just one of reasons I support a full rollout of RealID to every citizen 100% free of charge.
Not only do you then have id; you can link vaccination status to it too!
You’d think both parties would support that!
who could’ve united the country under his powerful orange fist
The most important things to ME heading into 16 were securing our borders, ending our international involvement, and not having the government “your damn right we’re coming for your guns!”!!!!!
But more than that, the single most important thing to me was voting against Hilary Clinton.
Much like so many said doesn’t matter who other than Trump.
As for 20? At least I knew where trump was. He did what he said. He didn’t hide. He didn’t lie on policy. He didn’t hide away from the public.
I had a general idea how Biden would screw over the country. But I wasn’t sure. Sadly, he’s a lot worse than I expected.
Trump had plenty of positions I disagree with but I knew what his positions were.
He supported my most important concerns.
I’d have to deal with the rest.
That’s the way with anyone who runs for President. I’ll never find someone who agrees with everything I believe.
One of the many things I do is build shells for CL programs. This comes my ever necessary need to tweak things. And it’s easier to do so with check boxes than modifications to chained scripts.
I can release the shell alone under any license, or release it with the CL app, in compliance with that app’s code. As soon as I take the steps to integrate them in single binary form I become tied.
It’s an issue you see come up for codecs a lot.
But what about proprietary changes to an OS? Or open office?
I’m not going to argue for or against commercial software. Or free software. I happily use both.
But I understand people wanting to build commercial over an open source base.
I see the same power grabs of ‘boards’ in “free” groups as commercial. There’s a bit of hypocrisy in saying your for freedom but turning and writing out restrictions. The OSaf, the FSF, the FOS groups.
We have dozens, many dozens, of incompatible “free” licenses. Each with its own restrictions on freedom.
One thing true liberty licensing has over the “free” method is actual complete freedom.

Despite the many times I called out the violence and said all law breakers should be arrested?
No. They were there to demand a full and complete review of the election process.
That some turned violent and resorted to rioting destroyed their agenda’s support from more moderate people.
Let me take a page from trump’s book:
I absolutely condemn the violence on Jan 6!
I do not know. But I prefer a peaceful negotiation.
At least to start with.
I doubt you’ll be thinking that when Republicans have a majority.
Yes. Both held majority congressional control. Both Presidents and their parties should have done something!
But you keep talking about taxing the rich. How about starting with the richest.
I’ve made my concerns quite clear. Other party goals are collateral damage.
I absolutely denounce the far right shites and their anti vax anti mask rhetoric.
Yep: definitely a better choice in my book.
Thanks to your selfishness and hatred of trump we have Biden destroying America. Thanks.
Actually I do. And my comment history shows that. Things like base income, free health care. Free education. That’s all a social base.
You can build capitalism on top of that.
In retrospect there are many things trump could have done better.
In retrospect every pandemic could have been handled better.

And here’s where we differ. I’d support a ban on semi automatic hand guns. Especially small calibre ones. And at the least a much more restrictive buying regulation.
Congress is all up in, er, arms, over rifles. Rifles aren’t holding up 7-11 at 1am.
When was the last time someone knocked of a liquor store with a 24” 20 gage shotgun?

Re: Re: Re: The foundation of stocks
Damn fucking straight!
I own enough shares of AMD and WWE to make a difference in my votes.
Not to get rich but to guide the product. I “own” 15% of a DFS, a crypto company. Not to get rich but to help guide what does and does not get added to tradable commodities.
I own 45% of a company who’s sole product is an AI for entertainment recommendations.
Financially I’ve “lost” more than 2/3 of my investment. But it is one of the most used and widely deployed methods world wide.
What Wall Street is facing is people returning to the entire base premise of stock holdings.
Guiding a company on a preferred direction, the hope of profitability being secondary.
What scares them the most is companies like AMD, Taste, Umbrella, companies who’s only requirement is break even. Companies where profits are secondary to product satisfaction.
I’ve been a board member at Sega twice.
If fought to push the Universe a dozen times as an FU to the industry. Not because it would make money: it won’t. But because it would totally destroy the profits first mentality of the industry. Bring it back to games.
The media paints GameStop as an attack. That’s a steaming heap of shite. A bubble perspective of fake news.
Regardless of where it went GameStop started as the consumer middle finger to an industry that forgot it needs the consumer to buy the product.
GameStop was a dedicated response to the all-digital movement. disclosure: I owned GameStop shares before the internet revolution and own the same number of shares today. I am also a former employee of GS, EB, And FuncoLand.
After a decade of short sales and pushing companies into death, the people are fighting back. Private trade systems have returned the power to the users. And they are using that power. Crypto holdings investment has rocked WS even further as they now complete with over-night millionaires.
This isn’t criminal! It’s not manipulation, or insider, or fraud. It’s the public taking an interest in guiding the companies they life. To hell with what AS wants.

Yep. I generally complain about much of that idea.
Maybe stop fighting the atheists (under the guise of communism) and buying rockets for Israel to fit with the nukes they claim not to have?
And start funding all these requirements?
Not sure who “your type” is here. I’m more than consistently vocal the government should fund mandates.

Re:
No. I call out that most of those ended in violent law braking. I don’t condemn the people calling Ou cops that shoot first.
I condemn the looters that have cost a combined loss exceeding a billion dollars and the media ignoring that aspect.

Re:
You and I are in total agreement. Unfortunately the Dem party as a whole is not.
I own a 10 gage. I have hunting shells but it stays locked and loaded with less lethal hand made paper blank salt shells. Hurts like hell but won’t kill you. It it stored next to a P90 with the extension and butt removed. The first 2 rounds again salt!
Then:
I aim for knees.
I have no intention of killing an intruder.
In real life situations if you get close I’m more likely to just take your gun and beat you over the head with it.
In over 20 years I never had to shoot someone stateside.
Honestly, seriously, it’s more I like the taste of small game than anything else.
Confrontation? Most cases I’d just beat the crap out of you. 87% of violent confrontations occur within 10 feet. Close enough I don’t need a firearm to subdue you.
No. But he’s let hundreds of thousand into the country illegally. The majority believed to be infected.
Yes. The largest source of consolidated wealth, the Catholic Church, remains tax free.
Has Biden threatened to withhold disaster funds from “red states”,
No, but if you don’t follow federal law you shouldn’t get federal funding.
No
No, he’s used other terms for the anti-white people.
Yes
Yes. Eg France?
Eg Iran, Ukraine
No, but no recent president has
I disagree.
Well documented bull fucking shite
He totally ignored and dismissed Trump’s plan and went with his own against the advice of EVERYONE
It’s there to protect the minority.
Trump didn’t veto one
Like the multi trillion dollar Catholic Church?
Are you delusional? This very site comments on Biden’s failure to nominate for federal positions!
Correct
No. I hold out hope some day the Dems will offer someone who isn’t a slave to their bank account.
You do that. I know my existence is short and I’ll vote for the person most likely to be most beneficial to those I care about.
They’re not from my state.
I can’t do anything about them.
I do. My vote is for the person most likely to support the causes I’m most concerned with. And I’m willing to knowing deal with the down sides.
2016 was a fluke. I’d literally take a bullet to the brain before voting for genocidal kill kill kill Clinton. I was a sanders supporter. I don’t doubt for a second if someone handed that turd of existence a weapon, a free shot, and immunity, she’d pull the trigger.
I believe in socialised capitalism. A free fair base safety net.
I don’t support killing thousands because the killers put money in your account.

As long as people refuse to acknowledge that the majority of those there did not break any law: I will continue to point out that fact.

Re:
Which is just one of reasons I support a full rollout of RealID to every citizen 100% free of charge.
Not only do you then have id; you can link vaccination status to it too!
You’d think both parties would support that!
The most important things to ME heading into 16 were securing our borders, ending our international involvement, and not having the government “your damn right we’re coming for your guns!”!!!!!
But more than that, the single most important thing to me was voting against Hilary Clinton.
Much like so many said doesn’t matter who other than Trump.
As for 20? At least I knew where trump was. He did what he said. He didn’t hide. He didn’t lie on policy. He didn’t hide away from the public.
I had a general idea how Biden would screw over the country. But I wasn’t sure. Sadly, he’s a lot worse than I expected.
Trump had plenty of positions I disagree with but I knew what his positions were.
He supported my most important concerns.
I’d have to deal with the rest.
That’s the way with anyone who runs for President. I’ll never find someone who agrees with everything I believe.

Re: Re: Wrong license
I guess it depends on your personal activity.
One of the many things I do is build shells for CL programs. This comes my ever necessary need to tweak things. And it’s easier to do so with check boxes than modifications to chained scripts.
I can release the shell alone under any license, or release it with the CL app, in compliance with that app’s code. As soon as I take the steps to integrate them in single binary form I become tied.
It’s an issue you see come up for codecs a lot.
But what about proprietary changes to an OS? Or open office?
I’m not going to argue for or against commercial software. Or free software. I happily use both.
But I understand people wanting to build commercial over an open source base.
I see the same power grabs of ‘boards’ in “free” groups as commercial. There’s a bit of hypocrisy in saying your for freedom but turning and writing out restrictions. The OSaf, the FSF, the FOS groups.
We have dozens, many dozens, of incompatible “free” licenses. Each with its own restrictions on freedom.
One thing true liberty licensing has over the “free” method is actual complete freedom.
