-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Damn that's pretty dark. What would constitute serious risk? He's old. That's a risk right there. He's overweight (no judgement, it is what it is). Also a risk.
Not cool. Happening to way more people than just Gabe Newell I'm sure. If I were him, I'd try to get air filters in that room near my face.
yea I'm not about to defend a billionaire but the no mask thing is so weird. Like I still wear a mask when I go out to the store or whatever and have never (even going back to 2020) had anyone be like "bwuh??? I can't understand you because of your mask"
I've had people say that to me but they were clearly taking the piss to harass me for wearing a mask
court etiquette is such bullshit, a while back I was advised to not wear a mask, or tell the judge 'it's for health reasons' at a mimimun, I wont be sheding tears for gabe but it is all really fucked
