It concerns me greatly that Musk will be in Trump's administration, not only because he's a fucking idiot outside of Tesla/Space X (and even then it's debatable how much he does in day to day operations there) but because he owns Twitter which means Twitter's owner will now be in the administration of the American government...That is a concerning level of power for any government considering how massive and widely used Twitter is. It opens up a huge potential of misinformation and propaganda to be spread on behalf of the government and it's not like Musk hasn't already done so in the past even before joining up with Trump! The moment he starts spreading Russian propaganda again, Europe should ban Twitter. Only hope Musk and Trump backstab each other fairly quickly, Trump already discarded Musk once before and talked shit about him so maybe he'll do it again.

Neither Trump nor Musk have the patience to work together for 4 years. I'll give it 1 year.

Well, I had a feeling Trump would win, but I didn't think it would be a landslide. Let alone the popular vote. Congrats to him. Just like the last time, I wish him the best of luck.

Looking at your sig. You're a very lucky man. Is there a PC in the family and all?

There definitely is! My gaming computer has an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and Radeon RX 6600 XT with 32 GB of RAM and 2 1TB drives (1 NVME and 1 HDD).

Well I deleted my Twitter account today, don't know if I'll bother with BlueSky.

Don't bother with Bsky, Ryuu, it's really not worth it.

I've not used my Twitter account for I think nearly 2yrs now. I stopped using Reddit around a year ago and only end up using Discord or this site and Youtube. Social media in general was a mistake and it's not worth dabbling in multiple pools. 

I just wish Youtube had actual competition, so I can move away from that site and just use one that's not filled with bread-tubing/Irl Pol. I'm into essay/lore/art-tips vids, and Youtube's algorithm has been fucking that up for yrs.

Meanwhile, Thiel will be working behind the scenes through Vance, from New Zealand.

Wouldn't be surprised if Trump keeps Twitter afloat with cash injections though, it's a valuable propaganda tool.

Like I said in my edit, the moment Musk starts parroting Russian propaganda again, Europe should ban Twitter.

I sent a PM to you, but give me your Discord ID and maybe even your Steam tag before you go, if you're going.

I might follow you but not for those reasons. Twitter has become a marketing campaign app, I suspect companies to be paying twitter for coverage. Dragon Age VG was my whole feed for about a week and I never even searched it and it persisted after I kept telling twitter I don't like the content.

You must have sent it to the wrong Ryuu

I heard BlueSky is kind of positive vibes but dead as fuck, Lol. I probably won't bother with it, I'm not sure, I only had Twitter to follow Gaming news and then post about it in VGChartz but the days of TwitterBoy are over and I'm no longer the Xbox news poster, which means I really don't have much need for Twitter or BlueSky. Besides...So much of gaming news is negative filled lately, I'm just drained by everything, Lol. Man I just want to have fun playing games, Lol. If it's not real life being mentally exhausting it's discussion around videogames being mentally exhausting. I can't escape the negativity wherever I go and it's making me into a cranky, more argumentative person and I don't like it, Lol.

Maybe this is naive of me, but at this point I would rather the Republicans take the House as well. That way they have control of all the branches of government and both houses of congress. They would have to own everything that happens in the next 2 years. No blaming it on the Dems. I think this will better position the Dems to potentially take back the House and Senate in 2 years.

Having the House would be a symbolic victory at this point. They would have oversight authority into the administration but investigating Trump has proved to be a waste. Time to rebuild the party. We have to deal with Trump then post-Trump America.
