It's more than just being about "stupid" people though. After all, who benefits from deliberately under-funding and attacking the integrity of educational institutions?

I vote the 7 August should hereafter be declared "Succulent Chinese Meal Day" in tribute.

Gotta chase that sweet, sweet live service money though.

But earlier this month, he said he would move the company’s headquarters to Austin, citing a new Golden State law meant to protect LGBTQ+ children as the “final straw.”

Imagine being so full of hate for a highly vulnerable group of people that you base your business decisions around it.

It does seem like an oddly specific denial.

The bananas won't be fooled, because everyone knows that bananas are straight until they get picked and the banana bender puts the bend in them.

I thought it must be too garbled for someone to have honestly thought it was a sensible message, but hadn't seen it before. Thanks for the extra context.

The thought of seeing someone shouting "Train!" still gives me nostalgia.

It looks like something "sci fi" from a 90s video game, when low-res polygon models were the best computers could do.

Why are we quoting each other? I remember the comment before yours. I made it. Idiot.

Because quoting in a response provides structure to the response that improves readability.

Also, you are posting on a publicly accessible forum, not having a one-on-one conversation. In that context, that fact that you may remember what you said doesn't mean that it's not beneficial to repeat it for others.

The "idiot" comment was unnecessarily rude where someone was engaging in what appeared to be a good faith response, and only brings down the tone of your entire post.
