Sounds like bullshit.

It’s a cycle we all go through. My “when the internet was good” was when long-form text content ruled, before memes and videos took over. The kids of today will fondly remember the deep fried memes and TikToks from before the human race became functionally extinct.

I’m not sure if this is a hypothesis with any level of acceptance
Unless an actual record is found describing what they were used for, it’s all just guesses anyway.

Seems like plenty of context to me. The CSIRO invented something that changed the world, back before neoliberals cut their funding.

The fact that it doesn’t reach that incredibly obvious conclusion just makes me even more skeptical. He specifically says he’s straight now.
- Comment on Anon factory resets 4 weeks ago:
It pushes the old bullshit idea that gay people can be “cured” with the right straight sex, which was extremely popular with homophobes in the 80s and 90s.

Exactly. They’ll claim “it’s just business” when they need to lay off half their workers and squeeze anyone left twice as hard but when it’s something upsetting to them, all the studies in the world won’t convince them to loosen their leashes.

I don’t know but it would be very like Valve to put zero effort into ensuring it’s not manipulated.
That said, most large polls trend much more mainstream than people expect.
Starfield may have been a bold new frontier in mediocrity but it nevertheless had about 2 million more chances to be someomes favorite game compared to some indie title.
