The thing about historians saying that people were friends and not lovers is to avoid coming to conclusions without necessary evidence. Now, I'm sure there is a degree of homophobia, but historians aren't from those cultures, so they can't say for certain if a behavior was actually evident of homosexuality or if it is simply the lens of modern culture.

I have a funny story about this. In 1685, James II, a Catholic, came to the throne in England. The people, who were very protestant, let this happen with minimal rebellion because everyone thought he was gay. But in the 1600's they didn't really have a word for homosexuality, so the only thing that is clear from historical records is they were very sure he wasn't going to have a kid during his reign (he already had a daughter). So my history professor professor explained it as they all thought he was nudge nudge you know. But when he did end up having a son, all hell broke loose and the people of England basically invited William of Orange to invade.

Honestly, what did they think would happen? Especially those that had semi-regular contact with Biden.

Nah let people game on what they want to game on.

I wasn't stopping you, just telling you what I see in the gaming industry rn.

I like consoles because the cost of entry is lower.

That's fine I'm not judging you for it, but the console is being beaten by other devices, especially smartphones. Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo need to adapt.

Well you're first issue is expecting games on a playstation, something that hasn't happened since the PS2. Xbox, I'm not sure what their deal is. I feel like they are wanting to get out of the console game and focus on pushing games for windows. Nintendo is the only gaming company that remembers that you need novelty to push hardware and keep games on your console.

Though I think another issue is that there's no reason to make games on consoles any more. Everyone has a smartphone and at least a laptop. 'Gamers' all have PCs with dedicated GPUs. Consoles have expensive development hardware and licensing fees. I feel like the Xbox One's focus on an entertainment center device is the correct way to go if consoles want to continue existing into the future.

Hurts to say it but yeah, he's quick with comebacks and he's gay, but not in a way liberals would consider 'in your face'. They would love it.

I used to love this show as a kid! In this episode, like every episode, I have no idea what the hell is going on

nah, give me academia vs working with clients. I hated that shit so much.

This sounds like a bit

It does matter because:

1. it makes my brain happy to come up with ways to beat it

2. beating the algorithm will reduce prices for the shopper (loss leaders will be used heavily for this I'm sure)

3. if enough people are cheating the system, it breaks the algorithm for everyone

Well this is disgusting, but at least it looks incredibly easy to game. Lie about your job, make big purchases on weeks you aren't paid, buy generic when possible, trade coupons with friends, spoof GPS and geoIP data to look like you're in a poorer location. And that's just off the top of my head. Once again the big internet money making strategy is taking advantage of the uninformed and the elderly.
