He’d be allowed to do them, but his views are much closer to those of the republicans (opposing abortion, pro-racism, genocidally zionist, etc) than to a typical voter so he’d never want to. And that was before his brain started leaking out his ears.

Wouldn’t work. Just think about all the religious Trump supporters who think he’s a “good christian man” in spite of his many obvious unchristian qualities. Their religion is downstream from their bigoted political views, and they don’t care one bit about being called out as hypocrites.

On top of that, the media those types would consume would only ever use it to show dems in a negative light. You have to dismantle that entire media apparatus first, which means mass arrests, targeted assassinations, political purges, and, the biggest issue for the dems, not respecting the private property of fascist billionaires.

Partly (the article does refer to it being the language of NATO), but it looks to be more about joining the EU.

Yeah, not to defend the apps or anything but filtering out the people who put in no effort and approve 96%+ makes sense.

I did this at my work and got a little dongle that displays a string of numbers I have to enter when prompted.

They want the ability to shoot down other countries’ satellites when they go to war with them. Things like disabling communication satellites and GPS (or Russia’s equivalent, GLONASS).

Kessler Syndrome? Never heard of it.

I don’t know, this painting of him looks pretty white (please ignore that it was made in the 1920s by an American who had probably never been to Greece)

Blowback, The Dollop, and occasionally Citations Needed but I’ve let that one accrue a huge backlog I may never get through.

For the record it’s 5 white people, 1 Palestinian, 1 Indian-australian. And he still doesn’t care, but the optics of being seen not to care would be bad. Seems like he’s now aware that he’s going to eat shit in the election this fall and is trying to appear as though he opposes the genocide while doing nothing to stop it.

• Favorites (I’ll play again after finishing) (21 games)
• Completed (I’ve finished and probably won’t play again) (430 games)
• Dead Games (online games that are literally unplayable due to servers going down) (3 games)
• TBD (I haven’t finished yet) (140 games)

Completed also includes things I decided weren’t worth playing anymore, mostly from bundles back in the day. Stuff like Fallout Tactics and some of the XCOM spinoffs.

If they’re not executing nazis in the streets they’re not stopping them from assuming power.

Why the fuck did they not sign this?

Boris Johnson (aka NATO) told them to die to the last Ukrainian instead. Literally “the west [wasn’t] ready for the war to end”.

Doesn’t it have something like a two-hour battery life? Feel like that excludes it from being something you carry around with you like a phone.

IIRC there’s some evidence that cold temperatures weaken the immune system. Assuming it’s valid, that does mean that cold could be the deciding factor between contracting a cold or fighting if off.

Now obviously germ theory is correct and it takes external infection to catch a cold, but it’s a pretty safe bet you’re being more or less constantly exposed to COVID and the flu whenever you’re in an indoor public space.

story-driven games

Disco Elysium is a great story, so long as you enjoy reading/listening to lots of dialogue because there’s not much other gameplay. Baldur’s Gate 3 is technically on sale, but it’s only 10% so eh; maybe Divinity Original Sin 2?

Souls games

Both Sekiro and Elden Ring are fantastic, my only caveats would be that Sekiro doesn’t really have character customization so if you love that part of soulsborne it might fall a bit flat, and Elden Ring can start to drag if you have a completionist mindset and go out of your way to complete every little side dungeon.

strategy games

I’ve heard decent things about Midnight Suns which is on a pretty deep sale. The Total War Warhammer games are good fun, though there is a fuckload of DLC, and the third game apparently has major issues.

GTA-like games

Mafia 3 is close, but 1 and 2 don’t really have much to do in the open world IIRC. The Saints Row games are hella cheap (do note that 2 needs a mod to be stable and even then it’ll crash occasionally) EDIT: Don’t get the newest one, just called “Saint’s Row”, it’s terrible. Cyberpunk 2077 maybe qualifies?

Doesn’t fit any of those categories, but I will always recommend Outer Wilds, a fantastic exploration/puzzle game that I wish I could play again for the first time.

Lastly, piracy is always the correct thing to do, but if you insist on paying for games, at least consider using piracy as a demo.
