Yes, it's a pretty common korean and chinese name.

You're joking, right? Pre-2012, it was one of the most visited sites on the internet and in the top 20 gaming sites. They weren't some no-name blog. Then after they hired Totilo, their shitty pop-tabloid reporting became so infamous even Forbes had articles about it, well before gamergate was ever a thing. This all used to be sourced info on the wiki page.

Trauma from torture can be overcome. A lingering connection to the Borg is lifelong.

Nah, Kotaku had a shit reputation for years before gamergate got shat into existence. Their reporting was sloppy and often wrong, most of them sucked at the games they were reviewing, they spammed out vapid clickbait articles about nothing to farm ad rev. The only reason people respect them now is because they were positioned opposite gamergate, as if two things can't both suck.

This is from a couple months back. Still excited, though.

TL;DR they think he should look at electoral reform again

A huge wedge of the liberal voter base were disenfranchised when Trudeau promised electoral reform, practically guaranteed it, and then just announced they weren't going to do it but don't worry here's legal weed. Many of them were youth voting for the first time, and that betrayal set the tone. If he set it in motion before the election, is it possible they'd recapture at least some of that base? Sure. Would I vote for him? Not a chance.

They were popular gags that dominated the millennial YouTube landscape. I can't say they were American things since I'm not American and they were still popular here. Possible you just missed, the internet's big

Organoids are largely homogenous lab-grown mini-organs.

The hate for skibidi toilet baffles me because it's literally the same shit we laughed at not even 20 years ago? Does nobody remember pingas and pootis? Fan flashes? It's crazy how fast people fall into "kids like it so it's bad"

He got got because the user used an Apple ID that was linekd to their real identity, which is one of the things Proton is obligated to provide in cases like this.

Proton says all the time, they are obligated to comply with the letter of the law, so do not store anything identifiable anywhere they're legally required to provide it. They tell you exactly what not to do, to avoid this precise case. They do not want to provide anything they don't have to, but they also do not want their company shut down.

What's stopping me? The fact that they need me to generate ad revenue to fund those trees, and I'd rather not be advertised to.
