Putin rigged the election by leaking John Podesta's Walnut sauce recipe. He knew the American media would go into frenzy over that info.

maybe putin isn't an ultimate kgb mastermind after all. maybe he's just blindly stumbling around trying to incite another cold war except without being anywhere near superpower status this time

Stellaris gets really tedious after a while. I've played through maybe two games.

I've been playing CIV VI here and there... It's ok I guess but it's still an expansion or two away from being a great game. Still too basic for my tastes.

the cool thing about paradox games is that they always have a unique emergent narrative

stellaris is still a bit weak compared to other paradox games because it hasn't benefited from 5-10 years of DLC but it is still really good, easy to lose a thousand hours to it without noticing

the first big huge expansion hits in one month and there's plenty of plot it adds to

it's a 4x game that has galaxy-wide crises, like the possibility of an AI uprising

You should have backed Transverse!
There was a story before the election about Snowden releasing information on an on-site hack of voting machines:

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/2138902/cyber-experts-show-how-easy-it-is-to-hack-into-a-us-voting-machine-with-a-24-memory-card/

Kind of new to thread--was this debunked?

quote:

Now researchers at security firm Cylance have exploited a shocking vulnerability in one popular model of voting machine, the Sequoia AVC Edge Mk1.

It was widely used in 2008, and this year will still be used to tally votes in 13 states including swing battlegrounds Arizona, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

I remember Jill Stein raising the money for a recount and thinking--hey at least we'll know. Then a few weeks later the courts shot down all her request recounts saying she wasn't in a position to request them in the first place.

Because, gently caress me, well us, if we learn Trump was telling us the truth when he said the election was rigged and there were at least 3million fake votes.

nah it's a thing that happens. usually gets explained as coming from sunken cost fallacy, like how they justify hazing

That's usually explained through cognitive dissonance. In sunk cost fallacies attitudes do not change (I paid 10 bucks for this lovely movie so I am going to sit it out even though I am still very much aware how bad the movie is). Cognitive dissonance leads to attitude change (I paid 10 bucks for this movie so it cannot really be that bad / I went through all this hazing, this group must be really awesome).

there is a constitutional amendment that has never been invoked that says that anyone who has drunk piss is disqualified from holding office so there would probably be a congressional investigation
