Climate change denial along with the idea of not needing public transit is more or a huge propaganda campaign. It is closer to an ad campaign put on by "big oil" than just idiots talking on the internet. Koch brothers are huge into this whole thing but in America at least it was a planned and targeted campaign.

Similar to why Subaru is known as a vehicle for lesbians, that was also an ad campaign before the internet.

It's important I think to know this isn't "hive mind" mentality or just a few idiots convincing others. This is a huge campaign with huge money backing it. Ads and propaganda science is a wild science and really interesting but just know with enough money, time, and skill, convincing a large group of people to do or think something is very possible and done every day.

On McMasterCarr they are binding barrel and sleeve nuts. As far as I'm concerned it's only what they name it that matters because that.is who I'm buying it from.

Age of Empires 2 is awesome.

Nope. I know about DOTA and how it has a bunch of spin offs. One of my best friends plays some weird betting game that is a mod of DOTA and he tried to explain the whole thing to me a long time ago.

So looking it up my guess is I played AoE over Warcraft, never understood DOTA, don't really like battle area games, and have only ever watched AoE in e-Sports.

I'm going to be honest I just looked up the game for the first time and had no clue it came out in 2009. I hadn't ever heard of it until a few years ago so I just figured it was some new game. The whole warcraft/dota thing was crazy to me.

I read every one of those and thought. Well that's a new game. Apparently I'm old.
