  • This is fucked up journalism inside the fucked up story that is super fucked up. Look at this - in the first quote they replace whatever word he used with [79]. Why? Presumably the original word was “old” and they wanted to reinforce the 79 as that has become shorthand for dementia, since the press has decided they can’t say anything due to their billionaire owners telling them they can’t say anything about it.

    Am I missing something? If you actually click the link to the tweet you’d have seen that Brian Schatz said, and I quote directly:

    “I don’t see how you can be a serious person and not find this extremely worrisome. He is not stable at all and his reality is warped. He was always a bit like this of course but now he’s 80.”.

    There is no replacement of the word “old” or anything like that, at the very least it was a minor correction from 80 y/o to Trumps actual age of 79 y/o.

    And even if that is the case, replacing “old” with “79” or “80” would have been way more damning in my opinion. Maybe I’m too young for this shit but “old” for me is 55+. Not fucking retirement age, AKA 67+ where I live, let alone 79 or 80 years old.

    I truly don’t know what to make of this comment. Yeah trump is a shithead and I truly am sad that he still isn’t 6 feet deep, but what are you trying to achieve with this comment? It just seems like ragebait aimed at journalist or something, I really, truly, don’t know.

    EDIT: made a couple of small edits to make my points more clear. Don’t know if lemmy lets you see the first version of a post but if it does feel free to compare. As of this edit I still stand by my point





    1. I haven’t had a virus in recent years, and I’m pretty sure that the ones I had many moons ago were just the virus scanners being scared of a keygen exe. Just go with your gut and you will pretty much be fine. Use a sandbox if you want to be extra safe, but a separate computer is completely and utterly overkill.
    2. Yeah true. But that’s only a select few games. Most indie titles forgo DRM altogether, and most titles that use for example denuvo remove it after a while (mostly after enough sales) for the free performance boost.
