Dunno about his socials (because really I couldn't care less who killed that piece of shit), but pretending the bullet engravings were anywhere near as clear as "heil hitler" would be can't be serious. It's more like if he had some random version of pepe engraved on them. Hints that he could be a groyper but by no means conclusive.

Theyre more likely to keep the skin economy alive by making people enjoy the game. It's not like they have no incentive.

But yea I very much agree gabe is not the problem. If every billionaire acted like gabe the world would probably be a whole lot better, even if they'd still waste a lot of ressources. Because at least he hasn't sold his basic human decency for more money, he just spends his insane amounts of money on excessive luxury. And valve actually takes risks on new products, and is content with their store shitting money instead of trying to make it shit money faster like every publically traded company.

Because guilty until proven innocent.

Don't get me wrong, there are huge problems both with (parts of) male culture normalizing sexual harrassment and barriers to reporting of sexual assault, but none of that means that it isn't expected that some amount of it goes unpunished so we don't punish anyone innocent. Believe the victim doesn't mean you instantly condemn the accused, it means you support the victim with their problems and don't start questioning everything outside of court. (Money/power also probably plays a big role in how many high profile cases that seem pretty clear go unpunished, but I don't need to explain that to lemmy of all places).

So anything suggesting that less than 100% of accusations leading to convictions leaves a horrible taste.

It's the same as with the CEO. Sure, if we could otherwise force these fucks to stop persecuting people and generally making everything worse for the entire world, I'd prefer that. But I still feel nothing but joy at anyone whos a "close trump ally" dying.

Because "close trump ally" reads the same to me as "close hitler ally".

I see "ahh" for ass everywhere and it annoys me so much because it completely kills the reading flow for me

Not really. It should be obvious that not every indie game will be super successful. This is just proof that some random reddit comments saying a game looks boring from an early trailer don't mean shit, because basically everything will have those.

3.6/2+0.36 = 2.16

(10% of 36 halved, so 5%, plus 1% of 36)

Human races don't exist and are a concept made up by racists to justify their discrimination.

I fucking hate this "x is not a race" argument so much for that reason. Nothing is a race.

I'll agree that the majority of trump voters was very mislead (much like brexit voters).

At the same time, it wasn't exactly impossible to find out what they voted for, so it's their own fucking fault at the end of the day. I only feel bad for the third of the country that voted against the clown (and everyone that for any reason was unable to vote). The rest? If you can learn your lesson from this, best of luck, but don't expect any pity.

It's not woman-exclusive and also the companies deciding the sizing are not the same as the companies running department stores (for large clothing brands these days, online shopping in their own store would be optimal, since retailers take a large cut).

It's mainly that making sure sizes are actually the same costs more money than just going with whatever comes out, and it's hard to make purchasing decisions based on size consistency once a large amount of brands do this.

That predates christianity, judaism already had sabbath. I wonder if that was an original feature when judaism first came into existence or if the concept of a regular rest day is even older.

Given that one of the main defining things of fascism is a personality cult, yes it's an indicator for sure.
