TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK BOYS

I know it got quashed; I’m not saying there was a revolution. “Free Hong Kong, the revolution of our times” was the anti-oppression slogan said by the victor of a heartstone tournament (which there was no rule or stipulation against), which caused Blizzard to ban the player from all tournaments, and refuse to pay him the prize money he’d won in an attempt to suck up to the chinese government.

To clarify: I don’t expect a gaming company to stand up to a full blown authoritarian regime. But I certainly won’t support a company that willingly goes the extra mile to sell out to them.

Used to, but I’m a little past the age.

It’s over bro, the developers who made the game you love are long, long gone. That isn’t your company, it’s a corporation wearing that company’s bloody torn-off face as a mask

Wew, 10% per year? That’s actually pretty solid, if I’m not missing anything. And having a good deal that lasts THIS long actually flips the normal shitty status quo of multi-year contracts on its’ head, now they won’t need to go to the effort of big strikes for a good few years while they’ve got these fair wage increases locked in.

Yeah, fair enough. Thank you for hosting for me, I know that it requires a fair bit of work, and I know that I was never the most active and engaged community member.

I’ll see you guys in the main furry instance when the time comes, then?

I have to ask. What about this movie is so bad

I haven’t seen it, I hadn’t even heard of it until yesterday. But you don’t get a flop THIS epic without some Morbius tier blunders

Adblock my beloved

Isn’t this the plot of Fire Emblem Three Houses

Christ, he’s ACTUALLY managed to hit the Lizardman Constant with the dems.

Now hit it with the Repubs too. Come on Trump. You wanna turn on your ally. You wanna turn on your ally and throw him to your cult soooooo badly. It’ll be really funny I promise

Hot damn, that’s EU-level based. Nicely done!

Well the primary reason they would “backfire” is because Trump is perfectly consistent about being full of shit. There is literally no way that he’s going to do something that benefits anyone other than himself. We’ve had 8 years to learn that.

Yeah, seems reasonable. The front lines have proven to be extremely difficult to move once they get set in place, and Russia is provably completely fine with a couple hundred thousand of their Expendables dying every year.

Ending this war quickly definitely requires knocking out other aspects of the russian war machine, anyone should be able to see that. I’m not enough of a military man to tell you WHICH aspects have to be knocked out, but I’d believe those elements are inside Russia in a heartbeat.

Let’s just not go and talk about hitting any major population centers though. Collateral damage is not justice, even if the russian brass have absolutely gleefully been hitting population centres as much as possible. Justice for that is seeing them hanged, not hitting some people that had no real say in all this.

Holy sunk cost fallacy, batman. How fucking much does it cost to operate an ENTIRE GODDAMN NUCLEAR REACTOR just to fuel a tech project that nobody wants???

I wonder if a birth rate that stays low for a while might be what it takes to avoid future wars? Just in general, across all nations? Funny that the very things that have damaged society’s faith in the future might end up mitigating conflicts in the future.

When manpower can no longer be replenished, then wasting it trying to pull off landgrabs can only be sustained for so long. Not just physically, but politically.

Please please please please please please please

Babe wake up, new forbidden snack just dropped

“Political endorsement can backfire”

You think she doesn’t know this? Girl stayed as neutral as she possibly could for YEARS.

Her hand was forced; Trump put her in a position where if she didn’t pick a side, then that would be an implicit but very clear endorsement of him. And as she definitely didn’t want to endorse him… well, the rest is history.

I mean, yeah, that makes sense. Financial issues have reached critical mass these last few years, especially with the post-COVID inflation surge. Supporting a family off a single income is pretty much just an urban legend at this point; you can’t support a single child off DUAL income if you both work normal jobs.

And that’s BEFORE we get into the growing societal issues about children having good spaces to play outside, being encouraged to play and interact with each other, constant republican attacks on the education system, and the looming threat of school shootings.

“The group in question are the Bureau Européen des Unions de Consommateurs, or BEUC, who represent 44 non-governmental consumer organisations from 31 countries, and have been around since 1962.”

Thank you BEUC, very based, we appreciate your looking out for us.
