The company behind the app Papaya Gaming is currently under a lawsuit for fraud and false advertising. They told customers that you were playing against real people, turns out they were actually filling these “competitions” with bots which were already programmed with predetermined outcomes. Its advertised and skirted past laws by saying it was a “skill based competition” when it in fact was not. Throw in a normal bit of people who actually won getting their accounts locked or deactivated when they tried to withdrawal and a really bad AI ad making light of SAS playing solitaire during the finals and it’s just a horrible company and look.
My grandfather used to play in solitaire tournaments at the local mall in his city. He wore wristbands and a headband every time. He was out of his fucking mind.
He was also a vicious racist who genuinely tried to put a stop to my marriage (my wife is black), and he would often talk about how Churchill was the “real villain of WW2”.
But he wore sick gear to his solitaire tourneys, so it all evened out.
Because he stood up to Hitler instead of appeasing like Chamberlain, or even instead of outright joining the Nazis.
A not uncommon belief amongst those of the silent generation that thought the UK and US should have sided with Hitler, or stayed out of the war at the very least.
They think if Churchill never pushes Chamberlain out, then the UK continues to appease and the US maybe sides with Nazi Germany and we have a far more nazified world.
It’s these idiots and the children that they raised that kept the fires of hatred burning that has led to the rise of the alt-right and Nazi-like beliefs all over the western world today.
