  • There’s a problem there, though. The propaganda was basically various versions of “The government (when run by Democrats) is bad, don’t trust the government.”

    If they put up a notice saying, “This domain was seized, here’s the real facts!” the target of the propaganda isn’t going to buy it for a hot minute.

    If they put up replacement content that doesn’t mention the government seizure, tha target of the propaganda is already primed to shout, “Fake news!” at anything that disputes their existing worldview.

    It’s best to just let those domains return like a 504 Internal Server Error and die a quiet death.







  • Paid mods is almost never a good thing for the game itself.

    Almost every mod out there is addressing some (real or perceived) deficiency in the base game. Good game studios look at what’s popular and either pull those features into the base game, or work with the modder to do the same.

    Adding a paid mod system changes that cooperative relationship into an adversarial one, where modders see their revenue stream attacked by the game maker.

    (Except maybe the make everyone nude mods)



  • I knew a guy that had a roll of custom-printed “I park like a jackass” stickers. They weren’t very large – I think they were originaly labels for folders or something.

    But they were on tamper-proof stickers, the kind that were metalic and broke into a bunch of tiny pieces when you tried to peel them off.

    He’d slap two or three of them on the driver’s side windshield and window out of the main line of sight, but you couldn’t miss them when driving.

    They’re a pain in the ass to get off. I know, because he put one on my car that said, “I lick sweaty ballsacks”.
