Those people don't feel threatened by the groups they dislike when those groups are suppressed sufficiently to not cross into the mainstream. Pride used to be a San Francisco thing, Hispanics and other various 'Brown people' stayed in their own parts of towns, etc. As those groups make further inroads into 'mainstream' the groups who used tho think they were the majority, the racists and homophobes, etc, (or, maybe were the majority if you look back far enough) who saw those groups as an inconvenience now see them as an active threat and are responding accordingly, lashing out at any soft target that presents itself.
Going to second this. It hit critical mass of users where the all feed isn't just one person's special interests just after the thread a few months back and it's like i never moved.
The frustrating part is that the whole idea is great on its face: pay to capture the co2 you generate where they can do so at scale, but this just... clearly doesn't do that.
You are generally right, but "Stand back and stand by" was pretty fucking blatant, and nobody who wasn't searching for a reason it wasn't an issue 'misunderstood' the message.
The problem is that trump is far from the only serious problem facing America.
No, he's not, but resolving him is critical path to resolving the rest of them. In this case, I don't think it's unreasonable to focus in on November and the few months following it.
I don't know if this post was intended to be a reply to me or not, since I wasn't talking about Biden at all, but I'll have a go at it:
I think you're right, and that a Dem candidate who actually quacked like a duck consistently would perform better, but party leadership, rightly or wrongly, seems to be banking on keeping their current voters and trying to entice disaffected GOP voters (read: women), particularly in purple states, to either stay home (I hate both of them i'm not going) or vote Dem in a "at least he's not like Bernie, but maybe I can have healthcare again" sense. I live in Missouri, and my neighborhood had conservative grandmas out canvasing for ballot initiatives on the abortion issue for the first time since moving here, so I'll allow that they might be on to something, even if I don't agree with the tactic.
EDIT: to clarify, they were trying to put a ballot initiative to add abortion as a right to the Missouri constitution
No, but given the context when it was originally written, one would have a hard time finding any which weren't. Especially if when you answer 'yes' it just asks you to list them, as there's a big difference from the US's perspective between having been part of a coop in the woods and a member of the Soviet Politburo

I think the point they're trying to make is that the second they met actual opposition (when the secret service fired on the mob trying to breech what I think was the legislative chamber, don't recall exactly) the mob dissolved immediately.

Idk, they may have just made too many of them. We have some of these but lord of the rings that we got for our kids a few years ago, but at this point they've both aged out of Little People.
The campaign is a little cutscene-heavy and a little short, but the story isn't much worse than HW2's, maybe a little better imo.
Mechanically though, it's (probably) better than the remasters. Directional damage is still there, homing projectiles are gone, fighters dynamically form squads instead of staying in a big blob or fixed-width squads in 2. I read some of those reviews at most of them don't appear to have played more than the first 2 missions? Like, there was one lore error in one line of dialogue and people lost their goddamn minds.
I think it was really just a victim of 1) Embracer's implosion meaning it had to launch now or not at all and 2) people's expectations being all the way up at 11 since the last game was so long ago. Really, a little bit of story DLC to flesh out the main campaign and there would be no problems.
“What is up with some people’s complete disrespect for our public spaces? It doesn’t require a huge amount of effort and discipline to keep our streets, sidewalks, parks and shorelines clean. Yet some of us appear incapable.”
Does Montreal also have zero publically accessible trashcans for miles at a time? Because everywhere I've personally seen this be a problem, there are zero trash cans anywhere.
Depends on where the site is hosted and/or monitized, but if it's the US then a US court will simply execute the fine as written, generally, as part of our reciprocity agreements with the EU regarding enforcement of court orders.
Let's not forget that with Gamepass, it's not just a better game by folding in PC, but they're doing something completely different with their consoles than Sony is. More and more, Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo are either competing with Valve or against themselves, and not each other.
I feel exactly zero sympathy for them at this point. All they had to do for the narrative to be 'Fuck Sony' instead of 'Fuck Arrowhead and Sony' was nothing. Sony cannot compel speech out of employees of companies in EU member states.
Unless the objective was to generate as much hate and aggro as possible, in which case these clown tier responses were perfect.
