Agreed, and legal systems that deny anyone the right to vote are not democracies.

Prisoners are members of society and therefore have the right to vote in any democracy. Even treason and mass murder do not justify removing their right to vote. The only scenario where prisoners voting would have a disproportionate impact are are prisons in low population remote locations, which could easily be worked around by their residency being based on their location before incarceration.

Agree with everything here, plus I miss cars coming in a wide variety of colors instead of just inoffensive earthy and silver tones.

Last century…

Last millennium…

That sounds like a bunch of crimes being committed by ICE.

Banned is the wrong word.

Steam chose not to distribute it because it they understood an early build to include children in sexual situations. Further builds did not dissuade them from the original decision.

Epic, who originally was going to distribute based on the developer filling out some form chose not to after filling it out themselves and finding it had a higher rating (adult only) at the last minute.

The developer speculated it was about a specific scene, but based on both steam and epic there are fundamental concerns about the content that led to no distributing on their platforms, which is not banning, that do not align with the story the developers are presenting. It is not likely to be about one scene that was in an earlier build that was the issue for them.

The important thing is that the game is not BANNED in any way whatsoever. It is available on fewer distribution platforms, which reduces visibility, but is not banning any more than exclusive deals or limited releases are banning on other platforms.

Personally I get the impression that the developers see the content very differently than steam and epic because the developers focus on intent and steam and epic focus on what actually exists in the game.

Yeah, being overly polite and accommodating is default bot behavior.

“I’m not a fucking bot asshole” is something that a bot would be very unlikely to say and a lot more concise.

Like it is trying to determine what I ‘really meant to type’ based on predictive text.

Republicans are not shrugging, they are actively cheering it on.

I have no idea which ones you watched.

Shang-Chi was good. Deadpool was fun.

Eternals, Black Widow, Multiverse of Madness, Love and Thunder, and the Spiderman movies were mediocre.

Quantumania was awful.

I plan on watching Guardians 3 at some point, but the previews and reviews for the rest look like a mix of mediocre to bad.

The post Endgame films being overwhelmingly mediocre wasn’t enough proof?

But my.mouth is full from enjoying it right now!

I have ADHD and rarely remember the details of a meal. Maybe never.

But I do remember if I enjoyed it, so while I end up sounding like your dad it it is coming from a place of honesty when I say I enjoy something without being able to articulate exactly why or what flavors were in it. I’m also fine eating meh food for sustenance because the experience of eating it won’t even be remembered 30 minutes later, but won’t praise it.

You thought they followed the law. They do not.

That’s why they’ve thrown all their old inventory at Ukraine. Use it up to soak up ammunition, shift the economy to build new equipment.

First of all, Russia has lost a bunch of their newer tech. Second, they aren’t building any new equipment of higher tech than what they have lost to Ukraine because Russia is a fucking shit hole that has been exposed as lying about their technical and production capabilities.

Russia exposed the deception by completely fucking up the invasion of Ukraine.

White straight men. Women are DEI.

Sometimes it is the consequences of other people’s actions.

The fact that it needs repeating is confirmation that AI output is dogshit that cannot be trusted. Using AI as anything other than a starting point, like how search engines are used, is dangerous for anything where accuracy matters.
