  How do we get people to drop the saying “thought-terminating cliche?” It has an actual meaning, but is more often used by the “debate me” bros who are just lashing out any time someone doesn’t want to engage with bad-faith arguments.

  Now move them both under InXile and let Brian Fargo cook.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come when people report something to the mod's in a community a one person can take care of it? Instead shouldn't it be voted on to remove content by the majority mod team?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If someone posts something truly offensive or illegal, it doesn’t make sense to schedule a meeting next Thursday when a quorum can be gathered to vote on whether or not to remove it.

  Rules are rules, and if you don’t trust someone to enforce the rules without having their hand held, they shouldn’t be the enforcer.

  Mistakes will be made. Moderation is never entirely perfect. If one person keeps making mistakes, they should be removed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is importing stuff from abroad free from sales tax?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “Sales tax” is also called “Sales & Use tax” (in most, if not all jurisdictions). See California one example, but check your own to be sure.

  You are supposed to report any item you buy and “use” in the state.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon can't go home again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Every few years I check in on an old message board I was active on between like 1999-2010. It’s still there. Gets maybe 1-2 posts per year these days.

  How to make $50 from anybody! Buy my PDF for only $50.

  You’re thinking of Kash Patel. This other guy pledges his allegiance to pedophiles and gets black out drunk on DOD time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When every candidate you supported loses the election⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This looks like more of a joke making fun of people who keep political bumper stickers on their car long after they’re relevant than someone who legitimately supported Nixon and Goldwater, but also Gore and Clinton.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So annoying⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t “sing” melodies, you can only sin’ them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this true?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like a game world that’s just fun to be in even when I’m not advancing the story. Taking a break to explore is awesome, and much easier in an open world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨B2C magic services⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For the low introductory cost of just 100 septims per annum.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't have a plan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Getting a car without a job is very difficult.

  Maybe they’re just one of today’s lucky ten thousand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would a super hero A.I. be like ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Superhero AI trains itself on every dystopian media where AI made in good faith turns out evil, then deletes itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda roadmap: more Fallout is coming, Starfield support continues, but Elder Scrolls VI is the main priority⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Word is Josh Sawyer started working on a Fallout game, but couldn’t get Bethesda to let him call it “Fallout,” so things were reworked into a completely standalone game.

  Now that MS wants more Fallout, they pressured Todd to loosen his grip, and the Sawyer game is back to its original intent. It’s still in development, but it has had some time to get actual work done, so it’s closer than if they just started last week.

  Again, lots of whispers and rumors, so take that with as much salt as necessary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hypothetically if I found a suitcase of money by the side of the road, is there a legal way to claim it on my taxes?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In the same way a person could claim they were unlucky if their highly insured spouses kept dying.

  Nobody wants that suspicion on them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happens when you just refuse to pay and go ... ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone, regardless of party or other policy positions, who commits to sending this asshat to The Hague in January 2029 will get my vote.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why the water to make the medication work?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a doctor, but I can think of two possibilities:

  1. Some vitamins and medications are water soluble, so taking them with water helps make sure it all gets into your system instead of being excreted.

  2. 2L isn’t very much for a full day. People are different, but even 2.5L/day is a little low for many healthy adults. This may be their way of getting you to make sure you’re staying hydrated but framing it as a health necessity rather than just a recommendation. Even without the medication, 2L is probably a bare minimum for most people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Steam were to shut down tomorrow how much money would you have lost in total on games / DLC ??⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  1,205 games. $6,516 as of today. 19 year account.

  The depressing part is that of the 1,205 games, 986 (81.8%) are showing as unplayed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could the Supreme Court overturning Marbury vs Madison be a way to repeal the US Constitution?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like a fine way to abolish the existing Court, since the constitution is where it gets its power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come soccer and tennis never caught on in the states? Also why hasn't there been an NFL team vs a Soccer Team and vice versa. Just to prove which is the better sport? Details inside.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  IMO, professional soccer in the US is way behind because it’s less TV friendly. No commercial breaks (other than halftime) means less money coming into the sport than more commercialized competition.

  At youth levels, it’s one of the most played sports in the country. Then as soccer-playing American kids get further in their “career”, they get pushed toward other sports where more money is. Colleges rake in cash on football and basketball, and lots of these kids play multiple sports until a coach makes them choose.

  I haven’t actually fired it up in a while, but Gedonia might be up your alley.

  Looks like a sequel is currently in early access, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't prove environmental issues if you don't have the data⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Covid numbers wouldn’t be so bad if we stop testing, and ocean health won’t get worse if we stop measuring.

  Kill that messenger!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Music just isn't good anymore⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not just music! (Though that is probably the strongest example)

  It’s telling how many people are nostalgic for a society that only existed before they were born. Recent History education sucks.

  “Testing your faith” sounds like tricking people into not believing. Which is exactly what they accuse their devil of doing. This god sounds like kind of an asshole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a gamer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Active Time Battle (ATB) was under patent until 2010.

  Games are just software, and software patents are definitely (and unfortunately) a thing.
