  • It refers to either a limited time reward structure where you pay for the ability to earn rewards such as cosmetics or other perks in multiplayer games such Fortnite and Valorant (If you don’t earn the needed XP within the designated timeframe then you may not even get those rewards you paid for) or access to DLC content in general for both single and multiplayer games where some functionality/maps/modes are gated behind a single or recurring payment.


  • Some RNG manips are straight up harder than just hunting them in SV tbh. Anyone can get/buy a Pokemon Home account with 1000 genned shinies if they wanted to so it’s up to you to determine what you consider “legit”. I enjoy hitting timing required to get shinies through RNG manips so I do it. Some people think gen 9 shinies are too “cheap” and others don’t use shiny charms and only hunt full odds (but still hunt on multiple systems at once for whatever reason). It’s a weird rabbithole to go down so just do what you want. No one is going to grade your shinies.










  • This discussion is specifically about Gaza and the region. Gaza would have still be demolished during a Harris administration and the political goals of the Israeli regime would be unchanged.

    Yes, Trump and his ilk are horrible for Americans and world stability. That has been the case for a decade unfortunately the opposition hasn’t been able to garner enough votes to beat an incredibly unpopular candidate by forcing even more unpopular candidates on people for 3 consecutive elections. Blame people who voted for Trump for him being in office but don’t blame people who did not vote for his opposition for the opposition’s failure to provide compelling candidates. It’s no different than Trump blaming the EU for not buying more US products.




  • Her stated position was identical to that of Biden as he signed off on the mass slaughter: No end to weapon shipments or any tangible support to current admin. Just the meaningless promise of a two state solution for the fiftieth year and reaffirmations of “Israel’s right to defend itself”. Plain as day to anyone who isn’t a party loyalist. Even Trump was somewhat more diplomatic about his position pre-election. If she had taken a different position, she would be in the white house today and we both know it (and that has nothing to do with protest votes and is just how elections work).





  • I think it would be incredibly hard to get people to switch without a compelling reason. Keep in mind that our modern keyboard layout is 150+ years old despite alternatives existing. Arabic letters are very close to English ones in sound but the readability suffers for me at least because it’s written in cursive with a lot of very similar-looking shapes (think of an i with 1 dot on top and an i with 2 dots being 2 separate letters) necessitating bigger font sizes.

    English is about half of the internet and the modern lingua franca so unless it gets replaced or evolves over time, either of which would take decades, I don’t think any central body could make that change.
