More like Facebook worked overtime to tip the 2020 election towards Biden and Trump is still mad about it.

Well, FOIA requests revealed Facebook was extremely cooperative with both enacting government censorship requests, and keeping them secret, when those same censorship requests would have been utterly illegal if they were an official order, so...

Some deal like "You give us control over information and we leave your monopoly alone", even unspoken, seems to be the gist of it.

I definitely remember reading about it a while before release in Game Informer, and I think the game was originally going to just be an RTS. At some point they made 3rd person gameplay most of the playtime and the RTS separate. As far as I remember the RTS battles are all in the main story and theres no way to play more RTS battles if you wanted to (theyre mid anyway).

The game was also obviously incomplete, with the whole middle act being especially bare bones.

Based on the age of the original, they probably toned down the one gay/bi party member a lot.

I think in the west, we mostly only hear from the government, and not regular people because they don't speak English and aren't on western websites. Regular people probably have a lot of the same concerns we do. Of course, the government wants to increase total productivity and don't care if it causes an upset for regular people.

Keep in mind, one example of "more productive" to the Chinese is passing AI generated bullshit through as peer reviewed academic articles, like nobody is gonna notice the rat with a dick larger than its own body.

So I'd say people who care about ethics, or academic integrity, or whatever, still have something to worry about. China just doesn't care.

4chan today is more moderated than Reddit in 2012.

Probably because the people who made the show experienced Christmas that exact way for themselves, where for the other holidays they read a book or asked a practicing religious person what it was like.

God bless your heart.

I don't understand why Linux users are like this.

Admit it, China and Russia gave up on "real communist" central planning because it just does not work. The remaining communist countries today like Cuba and North Korea are propped up by goods made by privately owned companies in larger states.

This statement manages to be sorta true while also missing that there's more great games on steam than the entire, mature Switch 1 library.

Country of India burned by this comment.

Nah you don't get it, right wingers are "liberals" to them. In the old sense of the word ("free-market liberal") anyone who doesn't want central planning is a "liberal", they want to be free to so economic activity without a state official's oversight.

Plus, since they know righties call their opponents "liberals" they think they're doing a slick reversal or tricking right wingers into listening to them or something.

Of course, they really just actually hate liberty since they are more authoritarian than most of the lefties on this site. But thats tankies for you.

Go Ross Go!

1. Jiffy lube frequently rounds off drain bolts, over tightens drain bolts and strips out the oil pan, puts on the wrong oil filter, spills oil everywhere, and misdiagnoses any other problem you ask them about while you're in there.
2. I haven't been around the other ones, but...
3. Other comments sound like they're just as bad.

Stay away from quick oil change places. Find an independent shop with good reviews if you're not willing to DIY.

Knew a girl once who smelled like she probably didn't know how to wipe her ass.

I wouldn't say she's been happy or successful, but she's had a few long and short term male partners (to the surprise of our friend group).

Disappointing to hear, I liked Obduction and Firmament both.

One could also argue that the USDA killed like 12 million chickens under Biden.

I think the real end to the culture war nonsense came after Thomas Lockely was caught red handed fabricating the words of people who allegedly met "black samurai" Yasuke to embellish his story, rewrite Japanese history to be more "diverse", and sell books, which was a while ago. Or in other words, it was proven beyond any doubt that the very premise of AS:S was, itself, "culture war nonsense".

It should be pretty clear which side was in the right.

Salon says it's "backfiring" but I'm not sure if the fact that the left has become the people who spray paint swastikas and burn down buildings is helping convince the normies that the left is peaceful and the right is violent.
