“I cannot reasonably purchase anything not connected to China, this is an issue”

“Wow guys, he just admitted to buying things from China! What a hypocrite!”

C’mon.

At this point, I just use someone complaining about the national debt as a secret code for them saying “I have zero idea how economics works”.

I would actually be somewhat understanding of that, if for no other reason than I would be very concerned with what the orange man would do to someone already in prison.

Isn’t it laughably easy to mod? I’m okay with them saying “this is what we balanced for, anything else is on you”, though it should be like those divinity “prepackaged mods” like the zoomy boots

I would love for them to bring back places like the Bell Towers in DS2. Does elden ring even have a mirror knight type boss that can summon people?

It’s not that they can’t still be profit driven, it’s that they can’t be sued by investors for not being ruthlessly profit driven. Private just means that they have the choice at all

A lotta zoomers have phone cases with their id and stuff in them, which might be the alternative? Personally I never trusted myself to not lose my phone and be really fucked.

Flip gay and straight in your post, and try to think about how the statement could ever possibly be justified.

Being anything other than an ally in such a place is absolutely reprehensible, I agree. Existing there is not quite as high of a crime.

Would you like some extra mongering with your fear today?

Ah yes, how greedy of a company, to checks notes stop you from telling their online distribution service that you own something you don’t.

Pirate all you want, live how you want. But valve is a company, they do sorta have to follow those pesky laws and regulations.

My only complaint is my thumb hurts from air dashing 24/7

Huh, neat! Had no idea. Seems like an odd exception.

That’s not what monopoly means? The merger should absolutely be scrutinized for the potential anti-competitive ramifications, but vertical integration isn’t immediately not allowed.

It’s saying that and it’s saying they have no concept of the dangers of wildlife. But everyone takes addressing the latter as ignoring the former, when they’re two separate conversations only combined by the dumb analogy.

Polar bears will in fact just kill you and eat you. Grizzlies, very likely to be territorial. Black bears are the most “cowardly”, but all three will fuck you up to protect their young, hence why the season matters.

I haven’t exactly done the math on relative bear populations to tell you if your odds are better with a random bear or a random man, but it doesn’t matter, you wouldn’t consider any of my statements valid even if I wrote a whole ass thesis.

Absolutely depends on proximity, and probably how close we are to (bear) mating season. And type of bear, for that matter. If we’re including all men with no restrictions, it’s only fair to include all bears too, right?

Snipers, famously useless in real life due to ballistic physics.

I thought the mindless pedants were supposed to have stayed on reddit?

I mean, it’s not unlikely that there was a dude named jesus christ, two millennia ago. There are a couple of other details in the story that are pretty suspect though, and I really doubt he’s able to be consulted for political opinions either way.

Is it acceptable to say I’m a liberal while US democrats by and large aren’t?

Still better than the alternative by a mile, but that’s a super low bar.
