A Political Game

that's fricking scary!

And here, it's the holiday season and you're posting Halloween boogie man stuff.

you oughta be ashamed.

(No really, I thought it was pretty cool). Ended up picking my choice anyway.
 
What's there to be scared about? This is only a simulated computer program with

some variables and parameters programmed in.

IMO, one very important variable that was not programmed in to this simulation,

was / is, that no matter who gets in to the White House, they are going to do

what is best for them and their connections. ALL of the candidates will lie

blatantly through their teeth to get elected. Once elected, they ain't going

to do one thing they promised during their campaigns. It will be the same

old story once again.

I did find the simulation interesting though!

Alias,

I will see your cynicism and raise you with a large dose of pessimism! :D

The lying is what is scary, and they all do it! Reminds me of a song by The Who, "Don't get fooled again........meet the new boss, same as the old boss......"

Seeing as I browse this without allowing javascript from other sites - e.g. google and facebook - and I block trackers - and all of my Facebook activity is done using a dedicated VM or over WiFi using an unactivated smartphone (no SIM) - I doubt I will get upset like UB. But here is a little paranoid tidbit for you.

If you go to a website offering free stuff on the internet and don't see a sales pitch: you might be the product.

If you download a free game: you might be the product.

If someone offers you free online storage: you might be the product.

If they are showing free porn videos: you might be the product.

Etc. etc. with apologies to Jeff Foxworthy.

He is on a roll today, insightful wisdom and funny. I'm love'n it and that is not, for those of you thinking it, the beginning of a 'bromance'.

Not that there is anything wrong with that!

I don't know about that the last OP, where some one was accused of having a bromance with brudgers, was locked down.
 
Wikipedia

A bromance is a close non-sexual relationship between two (or more) men, a form of homosocial intimacy.[1]

I have to go wash my hands again.
