Yeah I sure meant that

Thanks for challenging me up on that with evidence.

Sad to know this does happen.

I absolutely do not believe Proton is MAGA, nor did I want to make such a statement.

It's just that the CEO is the most company-representing voice, and they said something vaguely positive, attributing it to the Trump administration, which caused a backlash. I do not think it is right, but it is what it is, and in the current political landscape Proton CEO's actions were a bit insensitive.

The elections are commonly rigged, and budgetary employees are often forced to promote Putin and the United Russia party.

But then you made them right!

That's a positive life lesson :D

(Also: just apply a bit more pressure and make sure you keep on doing it up until the lowest point your nails can take, then simply roll it with your palms, squeeze it just a tiny bit et voila! Helped me at least)

That's a smart move. But won't your evil self be interested in screwing the experiment uo?

Interesting. From my observations (I'm male, so take this with a grain of salt), women and girls are generally given positive attention - which might be unwarranted in its own right, but I rarely see hostility to this group of gamers.

There is even a phenomenon of male gamers, especially among teens, to represent themselves as female to either just get more positive response in players or to actively abuse this for gaining social perks.

I've tried it and I absolutely do not trust it.

And them covering left and right is part of it, yes. It works with made up American definitions of left and right, in which centrists to moderate rights are put on the left. As a result, international coverage is normally represented as left-biased, while really, Ground News and a broader American political landscape is right-biased. This is not a fair coverage and it and it doesn't allow you to break through the propaganda.

Overall, concept is good, but if you follow this and think you are well-balanced and informed, you are not.

I'll save everyone the trouble. If you want unbiased news, Ground News is not for you.

The most hilarious part is that Ground News tries to present itself as "unbiased" by covering news from "left" and "right", but it does so from a US perspective, so almost all international sources are considered "left".

They are not left, it's you who is right, lol.

Which, BTW, highlights the broader issue of American politics, which is that people were honestly made to believe moderate right is the center, or even left. It is not.

Yeah, cheaters bother me way less than some random program with root level access able to monitor everything it wants
