Accused adulterer Trump who paid to keep Stormy Daniels affair secret professes ‘love’ for the Ten Commandments (www.independent.co.uk)

“I LOVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, PRIVATE SCHOOLS, AND MANY OTHER PLACES, FOR THAT MATTER. READ IT — HOW CAN WE, AS A NATION, GO WRONG??? THIS MAY BE, IN FACT, THE FIRST MAJOR STEP IN THE REVIVAL OF RELIGION, WHICH IS DESPERATELY NEEDED, IN OUR COUNTRY. BRING BACK TTC!!! MAGA2024,” Trump wrote in the early...

Ashyr,

Legally, we weren’t convicting him of adultery, he’s a convicted felon for trying to hide it in order to subvert the election.

Even though the entire case is predicated on adultery, it is not a legal fact, so they’re covering themselves from a libel lawsuit.

I’m not a lawyer, however, so that’s training from my journalism degree years ago talking. Someone with better knowledge can correct me.

Ashyr,

Would love if the article included a photo from the convention.

Ashyr,

No, I mean like one of this audience of old people at a youth convention.

Ashyr,

I’m pretty sure the always online drm was used to justify transactions in there first place due to the real money auction house.

Ashyr,

Valve does plenty of unethical stuff, you’re right, but the store isn’t really it. Go after them for their shady loot box gambling and really predatory monetization in f2p games that creates secondary gambling markets. It’s insane.

Valve has actual blood it’s hands and you’re complaining about the legitimate business front that covers for a deeply profitable and unethical core.

Ashyr,

I disagree. There’s a deeply unethical core built into Steam that is distinct to it. Since you can sell your loot drops for actual money, they are more literally scratch tickets than your standard loot boxes.

Ashyr,

Honestly the last year or so has shown me that the madness is America wasn’t unique to us, we’ve just been ahead of the curve. The elections in Europe this last year have been genuinely scary to watch.

Ashyr,

I, for one, am eager to ride the next civilization wave. They’ve only gotten better and better.

Ashyr,

She’s a federal judge and not subject to state oversight. She answers to the federal government.

Ashyr,

She was on Fox news just a few weeks ago.

Press X to doubt.

Ashyr,

Playing Hades II makes me incredibly nostalgic for the first game, but I think I’m going to like the gameplay in the second so much more.

I wish there was a way to move seamlessly back and forth between the two for some reason.

Ashyr,

My only complaint is that nothing changed after 2020. He was convicted for his crimes committed in 2016 to subvert that election.

This is who he’s always been. His presidency’s only notable feature was its rampant criminality.

2020 was just him raising the stakes for the rest of us.

Ashyr,

It used to be, but it now is as well.

Ashyr,

Well yeah, but we explicitly modeled much of our government after Rome, so it shouldn’t be shocking that we share their problems.

Ashyr,

Eileen Cannon is working hard to deliver that win.

Ashyr,

Wait, a nameless hero will rise? Why would I want to play some no name character when I could be Guan Ping with a massive buster sword rampaging across a Chinese battlefield?

Ashyr,

Having sustained some moderate injuries throughout my life, I’m confident they didn’t even know what happened, it was just lights out.

Even with serious injuries it can take surprisingly long for the pain to really ramp up. Something that fast, they probably didn’t even have time to be scared much less experience physical discomfort.

Ashyr, (edited )

They can and do attack Russian territory with their own weapons. When they use American weapons, they come with the provision that they must be used on targets in occupied Ukrainian territory.

This is still a stupid position, but no one is telling Ukraine what to do with their own stuff.

Ashyr,

That is a gross oversimplification of Mother Teresa. I’m no fan of hers, but let’s dislike her for truthful reasons rather than exaggerations.

She never reveled in anyone’s suffering, though she did remark that suffering brings us closer to God, which I would consider an unhelpful stance at best.

She ran multiple hospice care centers because no one was doing anything and people were just dying in the street. She had extremely limited resources and could only provide limited medical care as she wasn’t a doctor and again, I say this with intended emphasis, literally no one else was doing anything to help.

She saw unimaginable suffering and did everything in her power to reduce that suffering to the extent of her ability and resources, which was far more than anyone else was doing.

I don’t think she’s a saint, but I think her goals and efforts were laudable even if her beliefs and methods were less than ideal.

This Wikipedia page highlights the controversy surrounding the quality of medical care, but also shares the counter argument, which is that they struggled with the same problems as the rest of healthcare in India and were treating people no one else would.

Ashyr,

Source?

Even in the critical article in the wikipedia, they noted that they were giving limited treatment to the best of their ability. Their ability, however was lacking. To say that they denied treatment to encourage suffering is a far cry from the harshest criticism I’ve come across from anyone who actually witnessed their facilities.

Again, I’m not a fan of Teresa. If there’s more evidence of what you’re saying, that’s totally valid, I’ve just not seen it myself and I did some digging myself just to make sure of what I was talking about.

Ashyr,

To be fair, Amy Comey Barret forgot the freedom to protest when they asked her a softball question about the first amendment.

Ashyr,

Dang, there’s an idea in here that would absolutely be my favorite game of all time. Unfortunately, the reviews make it sound unforgivingly dense.

Ashyr,

Let me know what you think! I love qud and DF, but bounced off Eve pretty hard, so I think our tastes are at least somewhat similar.

Ashyr,

I’d be curious to hear more. I bought it just to ride the hype train. I regret nothing, but I’m not sure what features would help me dive back in for more.

Ashyr,

What’s unclear about it? Numerous reporters have noted he nods off regularly every day of the trial.

Ashyr,

Says the person who has sworn to never have babies.

Ashyr,

I’m a huge RimWorld fan, I’m curious, did you use the fast forward button? If you stay on regular speed, it can really drag. I believe many players just leave it on 3x speed and pause when an emergency arrives.

Your opinion is valid regardless, I just find significant overlap in our preferences, so this surprises me.

Ashyr,

Animals and a few other things are now multithreaded, so it is something they’re working on.

Ashyr,

I’m pretty sure the Bebop should make this list.

Ashyr,

I feel about Biden the same way I did last election, which is pretty awful considering all the great stuff he’s managed to accomplish. I should feel more excited this time round, but I’m not.

I just want someone who’s not completely out of touch and tone deaf. I don’t think he’s a bad person, per se, I just think he’s living in the wrong century.

Ashyr,

I’ve always wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, regardless of who his parents are. He’s about to throw away that goodwill.

Ashyr,

I’m all for an eventual steam deck 2, but man, I’ve absolutely loved my deck and can’t imagine a reason to upgrade any time soon. It does everything I want for now.

Ashyr,

Nothing wrong with asking honest questions. The point of this place is to foster discussion and community and sometimes that involves helping someone get up to speed.

Ashyr,

I’m so confused. How am I being disingenuous?

Ashyr,

Beautiful base, what do you think of Anomaly?

Ashyr,

Very pleased with bioferrite extraction being added for tribals. I created a ritual-focused tribal and just getting stone cutting took forever. Trying to angle towards electricity would have taken forever.

Ashyr,

I’d give anything to design my own tanks for Hell Let Loose and then crew it with my buddies.

Ashyr,

I tried it and refunded it. It did not work for my brain. I’m glad they’re seeing such success and it’s clearly a terrific idea, but man, it just made me feel bad.

Ashyr,

I couldn’t ever make the engine work. It just never clicked for me. So everyone talks about how exciting big numbers could be, but I never got big numbers. I just keep struggling and dying over and over again.

Ashyr,

He recorded this misstep his law blog’s flaw log.

They deserve the notoriety.

Ashyr,

That’s why you get a rescue from the shelter.

Ashyr,

Can you explain why? Is it because he’s not required to be a witness in his own trial? So that’s the fifth right there and by taking the stand you’re functionally waiving the fifth?

Ashyr,

Not excited for tencent, but the idea of an rts that de-emphasizes APM sounds really intriguing to me.

Ashyr,

I can’t begin to describe how relieving it is to hear this news. Ukraine has long needed more support from us and I’m glad it’s finally happening.

Hopefully this is enough to make it to elections and hopefully we can sort out some of our problems with crazy.

Ashyr,

I would assume after. They’re already down, after all.
