  • Don’t they do that for each President?

    LOL - Wiki has Trump already:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Person_of_the_Year

    2024 - Trump
    2020 - Biden/Harris
    2016 - Trump
    2012 - Obama
    2008 - Obama
    2004 - W. Bush
    2000 - W. Bush
    1996 - David Ho. Clinton/Ken Starr got it in 1998.
    1992 - Clinton
    1988 - The Endangered Earth, H.W. Bush got it in 1990.
    1984 - Peter Uberoth, Reagan in 1983.
    1980 - Reagan
    1976 - Carter
    1972 - Nixon/Kissinger, Nixon also 1971
    1968 - Apollo 8 Astronauts
    1964 - Johnson, Also 1967
    1960 - U.S. Scientists, Kennedy 1961

    Seems like each President gets 1 per term. Nixon is the only one pulling it back to back. '71/'72 after having been skipped in '68.

    Johnson is the only 1 term president to get it twice because, obviously, he finished Kennedy’s term.








  • In most cases, it’s easy enough to spot the disinfo with a simple google search or a domain registry check.

    We had one in World that was an African news site, and my initial reaction was “Oh, cool, we don’t have enough African representation!”

    But then looking at it, it was a TOTAL cipher. No history, nobody linking to it, nothing.

    But the weird part was, the news DID check out, it was legit, verifable reporting.

    It was only when I searched exact phrases that I saw they were just copy/pasting from other news sites with zero attribution.










  • I can’t remember seeing a game so totally flame out like Outriders.

    The beta/demo was so promising! Devs were responsive, answered questions, released patches (on a DEMO!). All was right with the world.

    I bought it on launch day, completed the campaign in a week, 1st patch comes out and the game absolutely shits the bed.

    Connectivity problems, blanked out inventories, armor values not being honored resulting in 1 hit kills, and the devs who had been so responsive went radio fucking silent as the game became unplayable overnight. :(

    I don’t know if they ever actually fixed it or not, I got my campaigns worth out of it and never looked back.
