I think it was Colin Powell's book that advised enterprise leaders to return phone calls of the most junior staffers first thing in the morning... Because it would flatter & enthuse them; and because they would never forgive being ignored, and would have the longest part of your remaining career to avenge a slight.
By the way, this whole story is probably bullshit. No staffer in their right mind would put words in the PDB ordering the President to do or not do something. If they did, that person would be cashiered so fast it would make your head spin.

Professor says video games promote "toxic meritocracy," by promoting individuality, rewarding skill, and encouraging players to do their best in order to win.
Just weeks after halting sales of all firearms to customers under the age of 21 and banning AR-type rifles in its Field and Stream stores, retail giant Dick’s Sporting Goods announced a “deeper-than-expected” sales drop as their stock sank the most in four months, according to Fortune.

This pretty much falls in line with the majority of the Award-winning indie videogames being nothing but pretentious walking simulators with zero to no gameplay whatsoever other than uh, walking around, opening drawers, and collecting stuff.

I do have to say thank God Crid. Finally, you are worried about something other than what Trump eats. You finally found a valid policy issue. I mean you are still having arguments with the voices in your head and have no clue who you are talking to. But at least you are closer to having a point.
Bravo.

"I don't think you're very smart"
Well, here you go: validation, that someone cares what you think!
Could you speak if it were not for Twitter?
Looking back, you are easily the #1 commenter on this blog, which suggests you live a life unfulfilled in other ways. Put the cat down and go kiss one of those chicks who "dig" you. Several times. Take an hour off.

Be kind to the un-tenured. Cute.
