So you genuinely think twitter is worth 0$? If so, you are dumb. corporate debt means nothing when the main value you have is intangible, nonliquidatable assets. Twitter is still worth a lot of money, even with it’s debt and revenue decline.
- Comment on Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper 1 year ago:
Not to the same degree.
- Comment on Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper 1 year ago:
So, your opinion is that any and all violent content is never a concern, and is appropriate for any age, even small children?
“So YoUr OpInIoN iS” shut up lol. I didn’t say that. I just said violence is much different than sexuality, and thats reflective of how society treats the two topics in media.
- Comment on Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper 1 year ago:
Sex is so much different than violence. Sexuality is something is developed over the life of a person and can be heavily influenced by early exposure. Where violence isn’t spurred on by video games (unless you are one of the boomers complaining that video games cause violence) because shooting people isn’t a part of normal life.
- Comment on Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper 1 year ago:
Sure but what does that have to do with what I said?
- Comment on Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper 1 year ago:
No, I just don’t want needless sex in my games. I don’t care to make it illegal or anything but I’m speaking out that I do not enjoy sexuality in video games and think if that’s something people desire, they can find that sort of content elsewhere.

The value of twitter isn’t its revenue but rather its userbase. Which is still extremely strong.

It actually would be pretty easy to ignore him but this place is absolutely obsessed with dissecting his every move.
- Comment on Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper 1 year ago:
Continuous exposure to sexual content throughout childhood can have significant effect on their sexuality later in life. I don’t think the same thing is true for shooting games.
- Comment on Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper 1 year ago:
Having sex is probably something you will do in your life, mass murder is not.
I would say this exactly why one topic is more sensitive than the other. No one goes around killing aliens with ray guns, so there really isn’t much to emulate there. Whereas sex appeals to our biology and on young impressionable children, it could have significant impact on them to be continuously exposed to it through media.
- Comment on Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper 1 year ago:
“No one should make content that I don’t personally approve of” is one that I would categorize as worthy of criticism.
Who said no one can make content if it has sex in it? People are just saying they don’t like it and everyone is sperging out about how children should see sexual content because they also see violence.

Do you consider masterbation sex? because uhh it isn’t
- Comment on Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper 1 year ago:
Unironically yes. Pornography appeals to our monkey brain in a way that violence doesn’t. Violence in media is just an expression of conflict.
- Comment on Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper 1 year ago:
Do you recognize that some people may have different values than your own and it’s ok for them to strive towards upholding them? You are not losing anything in life by not having pornographic scenes in video games.
- Comment on Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper 1 year ago:
Why is it sad? Some people want sex to be a private thing that individuals do outside of the public eye. Not everyone is a coomer who wants to revolve their life around sexuality. Just because people have different values than you doesn’t make it sad.

do you think buying a company with debt makes you personally liable for said debt?

I would buy one of the most popular social networks for 50k in an instant. you would be stupid if you turned that down
- Comment on New evidence confirms COVID-19 vaccines are overwhelmingly safe 1 year ago:
It’s 33 million doses, not people.
- Comment on New evidence confirms COVID-19 vaccines are overwhelmingly safe 1 year ago:
in one city, Ontario.
- Comment on New evidence confirms COVID-19 vaccines are overwhelmingly safe 1 year ago:
Just 5.5 per cent of adverse events linked to the vaccines were considered serious and included conditions that required an admission to hospital or resulted in death.
5% of adverse events requiring hospitalization is not exactly what I would call safe

His hoodie shtick is a PR stunt to make him more appealing to people like you who lap it up.

sounds like you have fully absorbed the narrative his PR team has pushed.

Would love to see some bipartisan support for banning congress members from trading stocks. Both sides are doing it to such a degree that they are more likely to be replaced before any legislation regarding this gets passed. Obligatory Nancy Pelosi Stock Tracker link: twitter.com/PelosiTracker_/

I prefer to live alone with some dignity
- Comment on A country of roommates 1 year ago:
I think it’s a bit entitled to expect to live in a studio apartment for free.
- Comment on But I wanted to be somebody famous! 1 year ago:
We’re talking about ex theatre majors, not people who work in media. I went to a college with a renowned theatre program and I can say first hand that they are easily the most insufferable people of any major. I’ll admit that has colored my opinion quite a bit. The entertainment industry is notoriously nepotistic and the only people from my class that had success were those with rich dads who were connected in the entertainment scene. This breeds contempt amongst them and it’s palpable when you are hanging out with them.
- Comment on But I wanted to be somebody famous! 1 year ago:
there is a reason, theatre majors are annoying and contribute very little to society.
- Comment on A country of roommates 1 year ago:
you should consider yourself blessed that you get free housing despite not having to lift a finger.

then whats your point? pretty sure you know what it means
