America is stupid for excessive guns. But this is stupid in the other direction. Talk about over policing. Fuck me this is stupid

Just walk halfway to the gym and then give up and walk home.

DDOS against a little self hosted instance isn’t really a concern I’d have. I’d be more concerned with the scraping of private information, ransomware, password compromises, things of that nature. If you keep your edge devices on the latest security patches and you are cognizant on what you are exposing and how, you’ll be fine.

Really varies on where you go and who you talk to. It’s not a universal thing.

Dammit. I didn’t think of them. I’m so heartless.

I played Blades for a little while until it got too ‘gimme gimme’ about me paying. Then I stopped. Not paying to win.

Yeah, the exposition was part of what made DE weaker to me. Too much plot lead to losing the plot. The gameplay was fun enough overall, and I enjoyed a lot of the changes. But it was also too fuckin much keyboard ballet and pattern recognition for my tastes. If I want to kill something in a way that’s not the prescribed way, I want to be able to do that. But it became a formula and that’s not a playstyle I like because it bores me. It becomes math homework. Couple that formulaic approach with the fuckin massive swarms of unrelenting enemies and you end up having to fight like a robot. I preferred the 2016 mantra of fight like hell.

Lol to be fair, if you are in a thread on Doom, Disco Elysium isn’t something I’d expect seen or abbreviated.

I can see a lot of DE Fans not enjoying this. But DE was a weaker entry to me so I’m excited to play this one.

Because neither of those are forced imperialist occupations.

It would be the most on brand thing to do too imo.

A people and it’s government are two different things. And frequently the government does not give accurate representation of its people’s desires.

But let’s say the USA, because I assume that’s what you are insinuating by westerners, is 100x more evil than all other countries combined. Does that mean the Russian government isn’t bad? Nope. Truth doesn’t change based on the moral character of another separate unrelated entity. Even if that entity is worse and even if that worse entity is the one saying the truth.

Yeah it’s relying in star power and the drooling masses to get money. It’s an awful awful attempt and it’s extremely apparent from the trailers that this is going to be hot fucking garbage. The only thing that would potentially save it, is if all this shit was promo trolling and the actual movie used completely different better suited people with better lines etc.

Ffs, what has he done worthy of death. Hateful fucking assholes.

Common sense is to lock your doors at night or when not home, and don’t take candy from strangers. It does not extend to nuanced and intricate discussions such as this. Sense needs to be applied but to insinuate that it is intuitive to the degree of common sense is a poor stance in this discussion.

But not at odds with running a corporate environment.

I mean to really change whether third parties work in the US we need systemic changes and regulations to the voting structure because getting a populist movement stateside is nigh impossible. The only reason to vote for someone that doesn’t represent you halfway is to hopefully prevent the person who doesn’t represent you at all from getting in.

We would really need changes to how voting is done on a regulation level to see the viability of federal 3rd parties. Some States do ranked choice which has really boosted 3rd party viability. I’d like to see that or something similar to it on a federal level.

It’s less a vote for Trump and more a lack of a vote for the party that can realistically defeat him. I wish 3rd parties were a viable federal election option. But they aren’t yet to a point where they can realistically win in the US.

So the sentiment that not voting, or voting for a guaranteed loss is a vote for the worse of the two parties with a chance to win isn’t entirely without merit, it’s just poorly phrased. It means that if you fail to vote for the person that can win over the worse candidate, you have given the worse candidate a better opportunity to win.

Nothing as potent as what you’ve been doing.
