    It'll be great for those people who have gold, not so much for those who don't. Though I'm not sure if they've considered the fact that a lot of gold-deficient people may have guns.

    President BribeMeLots was specifically calling the South African President up on the white geocide supposedly taking place. It's a white supremacist conspiracy theory which 47 was promoting in his first term, so probably not a surprise he's still at it.

    If Noam's definition was accurate then suspending it as the Republicans want to do would mean preventing the president from removing people from the country. Sounds good to me. Let's stop him doing that.

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    That's most likely because Grok is powered by scanning tweets by other people on Twitter, and other people on Twitter will have been speculating about why Grok would be talking about the subject. Its rambling may or not reflect reality. For instance, the last sentence in the screenshot is about...

    Pointing out that Trump eats at places regular people would eat at is, I think, too much like making him seem like a regular person and therefore more appealing to your average man on the street. Meanwhile he's going over to Saudi Arabia because the country is giving him a passenger jet as a gift.

    Skyrim! Because all the really good stuff never actually leaves.

    After my complaint about the stealth, I actually did have an occasion where I managed to hide from a bandit after being spotted and the bandit in question gave a line indicating they were giving up, and the stealth indicator went back to hidden. Of course a few seconds later she ran around the...

    Skyrim! Because all the really good stuff never actually leaves.

    I have to say Skyrim spoiled me for stealth. I don't remember the NPCs in that being quite so persistent as the ones in Oblivion once they spotted you. Had two bandits chase me through three load zones all the way to the refugee settlement in front of Kvatch. Granted they were then punched to...
