It was some weird asshole. I'm sure the other 261 people know.

When trump won he was making daily posts in like 2017 about how he was making obscene amounts of money in the stock market just doing day trades (crediting all of this to trump). Which if you know anything about finance is totally ridiculous.

He was called out repeatedly and finally posted "proof" of his financial gains which was a screenshot that someone traced back to a reddit account. That reddit account had posts detailing their sexual attraction to their underage sister.

I don't get modded a lot and it's usually a no karma loss mod. I think I average 2 moderation a year. Didn't get any for a long time before my first one. Went years of posting before I got one

no, leave harder

I can't fathom being that much of a pathetic loser.

How do you feel about Brock Purdy, QB in the most profitable league in the country only making a few hundred thousand a year?

... this is an asinine attempt at a gotcha, lol. There are no "excuses" needed to understand an end-of-the-draft rookie signing a multi-year minimum-salary contract (which will give him just over $1M next season, not "a few hundred thousand" - minimum for a rookie is now $750k).

This post thinks it's relevant at all to this topic.

It's not.

Overall, the main feedback weve received is that the decision to lock the Current Events board and generally prohibit explicitly political topics elsewhere is unpopular amongst a large percentage of commenters. I dont want to duck or run from that takeaway - this is something Fandom discussed and anticipated before making these changes. Ultimately, we will be standing by this decision because doing so aligns with how we operate other parts of our platform, and how we want GameFAQs to be positioned in broad gaming discourse.

Admin came out and admitted feedback's useless. Shocking!

I ignore my AOL accounts for years at a time, and when I do remember to log into them they've usually had all of their email purged due to inactivity and I need to reset them, but they're still there (as far as I know - I've only reactivated one of them in the last 10 years or so).

Pretty much every site I used to frequent in the 90s is long gone, and most of the 00s sites as well.

Everyone always used to act like "nothing ever goes away once it's online", but stuff purges and vanishes all the time. And with most search engines becoming more and more crap with every passing day, it's getting harder to find even the stuff that is still out there somewhere.

Those are rookie numbers

That brings up the question that if Jan 6 happened again, are we not allowed to talk about it? Cuz that was definitely a event to talk about

The truly terrifying thing is when you realize that, for some people here at least, they've had an account here for more than half their life.

No, but it will be a gradual decline as less people come around and more people's accounts get Purgatoried.

You know CE isn't shutting down, right?

It might as well be

That would be admitting a mistake.

Potd board is about to get way more popular as people lose access to CE

The left has a serious problem with antisemitism.

I wanted less racism not more. Guess Ill vote for Trump now instead.

Well yea the whole idea of the shut down was stupid. People were still working, the lucky people who were out of work weren't staying home, they were all swarming the places still open. All the shut down accomplished was shoving more people into less places. If Trump had stuck to his guns and fought back against the fear mongers I'd have given him credit at this point, but he didn't he went along with the stupid shut down.

"Biden is the worst president" is such a hilarious take because it immediately outs the person in question as having "Biden replaced Trump" as the sum total of their political knowledge. Like him or not, Biden is a thoroughly unremarkable president. The only things that stand out about him are that he took power after one of the most controversial presidents ever (two impeachments, an attempt to overthrow the election to install him undemocratically, and over a hundred indictments - whatever your opinion on his political stances, it's undeniable that he's made quite a stir) and during/after the worst public health crisis in a century, both of which are more a matter of circumstance than anything that can really be attributed to him.
Biden's whole thing was not being trump, he's pretty bad and hasn't done anything beneficial (besides not being trump). He's pretty bad and has hurt this country with his rampant spending and printing money, thus causing inflation (it is also because of greedy companies, but printing so much during covid came back to bite us in the ass too).

Biden is mid pack at best and in not even sure if he's better than Trump. At least things were more affordable under him, but I would rather have a dead squirrel than either of them. At least you have guys like Andrew Jackson, Woodrow Wilson, and FDR preventing either from being the worst ever unless you let recentcy bias take a hold of you

No, he fucking sucks, we haven't had a good president in decades though so it's hard to really stand out among all the garbage

so basically i'm being held at gunpoint to vote for the genocide enabler

interesting strategy

So, by their reasoning, a Republican or Democratic politician may only be tried by a registered Independent judge. That's how asinine their reasoning is.

Correct, it does send a message.

It says "I wasted my vote and the people I'm 'protesting' don't give a shit anyway."

The really crazy part is after each of the last two elections, they've had Republican strategists on cable news saying straight up that they as a party are getting killed on abortion yet learning all the wrong lessons.
