Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Least unsurprising move ever? His entire base is burgerbrained young men living in the USA.

I think you mean "least surprising" since you are saying it's predictable

Least unsurprising

Double negatives make my brain itch.

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

least isn't a negative though?

[–] Jiggs@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Let me make it negative for you

You could view least amount as something with portion subtracted compared to "normal" amount. Subtraction could be viewed as addition of negative value. So there, it's negative in its core.

Sorry, I though a little too hard about it and had to share

right.. I see it now.. actually I think I misread the "unsurprising" as "surprising" originally which is why I didn't understand the double-negative comment. My bad.
