Same... I have always known Trump to be an idiot... literally the stereotypical kid whose Dad is ashamed of because he decided to clown around and never accomplished anything given all the opportunities
OP didn't seem "happy"... in fact, they seemed mad people were happy and not outraged this one good step was here because it may have been made out of a business decision and not just Valve falling on its own sword (that's why I made the comment)
the state of current gaming should be enough prove for you that no, people cannot just choose not to buy them... same as you can probably not avoid AI in anything new you buy, they put it everywhere and you either eat it or give up X thing you loved
the US would steamroll Canada at first.
that was the default convention in all the wars the USA has fought and lost in thevlast 40 years
That's exactly what it is, plain as day, they are not hidding it
So no recognition of any good until they are perfect?
Yes, when something half good finally happens, let's complain it probably didn't happen for better reasons
Why are we never happy again?
Was* a status symbol
Texas officials also said it was ok to ban abortion because they would end the posibility of rape... how is that going?
Yes, I was not clear enough... I was referring specifically to the slurs here. They are not planning their every move, they have a goal to mount an autocratic government and that brings nasty people out into the public.
On that note they do not even need to "test the waters"; the population of the USA already handed them over all the power they could ever need. Short of massive protest and a Nation wide strike, what was left of Democracy in the USA is completely over.
Exactly right
Write to your MPP then, those are jobs for different people
They are not testing the waters, there isn't a plan. They are just bigots doing hateful things
You are right in that there may be escalation because sooner than later these assholes will realize Trans people are so few as to be invisible to them, they'll once again see their own lives are pitiful and move onto hate someone else just to feel good about themselves for a hot minute
New Bill to Effectively Kill Anime & Other Piracy in the U.S. Gets Backing by Netflix, Disney & Sony
is anime a form of Piracy?! One Piece I guess?!
They grabbed people ostensibly from battlefields. They aren’t collecting evidence in a firefight. This isn’t a cop tv show. Theoretically battlefield combatants do not have the rights you seem to think they do.
I do not know what rights you think I think they have... but they do have some rights in International Law, not that the USA cares but they do.
Also, if all it takes is for someone to be in a "battlefield" to be automatically a combatant, well, it only shows your very American view of the world when you have never fought on your own soil. These villages, some of the poorest places on Earth, are the battefields. Where did you expect these people to go? their summer houses while the conflict passes? maybe take a sabatical from gathering dirty water from the only river while the solutions fixes itself?
If you think Im defending this choice you are mistaken.
Fair... my point against your line of thinking is that I would bet my left nut there was less than zero consideration for the safety of the detainees... In fact, the #1 reason they were put in Guantanamo to begin with was to "respect" somewhat the USA constitution, you know back in the good old days when they were at least pretending the constitution meant something
No you don’t get it. They did this because the Bush administration didn’t want to confront the problem of potentially innocent people being murdered
If this was their concern, why didn't they just let them go? take them back where they took them from? after all, they didn't have enough evidence to even charge them
Side note, you should really check your reasoning here bud. You are literally arguing that the USA, in an abundance of care for the safety of certain people, they took them and left them to rot in a concentration camp for decades...
Same here... even when Twitter was not even in the sights of fElon I found it to be super toxic. I signed up because "it was the best way to get the news" and left in about 4 days
confirming circular logic is circular... got it
why are people frothing over Bluesky? this is just Twitter but owned by a different oligarch
So instead they are kept uncharged and untried forever in Guantanamo??? where they are nicely safe and comfortable and not being tortured at all? for THEIR safety? got it
