In programming, there's something called the Inner Platform Effect.
Basically, programmers replicate their development environment, in the programs they write.
Think, vim users unconsciously making their program act a lot like vim, etc.

I refuse to accept anything other than the resignation and immediate retirement of all of these fucking corporate candy-ass Democratic cowards.
They’ve lost the right to do anything but get out of the way and live in disgrace for the rest of their days.

THIS btw, through every study that’s ever been done on it, has been proven to be the biggest cause of piracy.
Wanted to watch three big, classic old TV shows last night (two for fun one for work). None was available on any streaming platform. Two of them, I have on physical media. The other, more recent, exists as a paid digital download, but can’t be bought physically in the UK. That’s not good.

This guy, being more nationally known, feels like a key priority. Otherwise, town by town, everyone has to learn what a pathetic, instigating liar he is.

The funny thing about media outlets like CNN trying to be “balanced” by inviting conservatives is that they don’t really know many normal conservatives and so when someone says “bring on a conservative“ they inevitably think “Who is the absolute biggest asshole I can think of?”

I really like that this place is not overrun by engagement-farming the way the other sites are and I like that things only go viral when there's genuine sustained interest in them. I think those are good properties in a social media site, even if they dissatisfy people looking for something else.

Few reasons why people shouldn't be on a party bus with Sneako, Andrew Tate & Nick Fuentes pissing people off.
1. Sneako & Fuentes watched their Nazi friend get punched in the face & went "that's craaaazy." & stayed away.
2. Tate just got his tater rocked by a dude in pink gloves.

Related to this, if the next president is a Democrat, they shouldn't ask for the gifts back. Hire the plane reposessor to take the plane. Freeze any bank account that might have a gift in it. Send in the FBI to get the gold bars. Etc.
I’ll say it for the millionth time but we need to make section 1983 apply to federal officers because Bivens is useless and need to get rid of prosecutorial immunity. These people should be financially ruined at the very least for these bullshit investigations.

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:
They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.
The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.
