The epic games store user experience is awful. Exclusives are awful. I have zero reason to ever use it except for if I’d been taking advantage of the countless free games they’ve been giving away.

Steam offers a service, hosting downloads and all the backend for friends/multiplayer connectivity/etc isn’t free. If you’re big enough to not need that(minecraft), good for you! Otherwise, it’s clearly difficult to make a launcher/game platform that doesn’t suck ass(uplay/origin/etc) - sorry that steam is just better than any alternative right now.

“Unconstitutional” == I don’t like it

Literally as deep as most people’s understanding goes.

And the books! The big takeaway from scott pilgrim really shouldn’t be idolizing either scott or ramona. They both need therapy.

The national guard is that “armed and well regulated militia” the second amendment is actually talking about.

It’s a lot more likely a US citizen was raised in/has family in a small Canadian town though.

I actually kinda like his note to not read the patch notes, just experience it on a new save. I can’t say I’ve ever done that, but it sounds kinda nice as someone who usually struggles to not speedrun these kinds of games.

It’s not impossible.

It’s not probable, but why not wait to damn them?

I mean, I don’t think the entire concept is flawed. I want to wait and see what it actually means - especially if it’s cheaper to grab food outside of surge hours.

I understand it likely won’t be, but I won’t damn them until we have more information.

My reddit account has just shy of 100k comment karma and less than 2k link karma, and I still got the message.

I marked it as spam for “unsolicited messaging” lmao

Neville Chamberlain called, he wants to club you over the head with a history book.

“Killing Russians in self defense is comparable to genociding Palestinians” is the take of a very, very sheltered individual.

Without reading the article, there’s also a very relevant XKCD for this type of thing. They may well have controlled for it but it can be tough.

Whether or not you think that, actually enforcing a ban has proved very difficult in the past. Better resources for addicts of all nature is proven to be much more effective than outright banning things.

Mind explaining to me why a vending machine needs to know the demographics of its users?

You gotta consider that when a country doesn’t do something for sixty years, that means basically anyone that actually worked on it has retired. They probably have access to more research and data but it’s probably all stored in ancient formats barely used anymore.

If you can’t tell the difference, does it matter?

Of course this gets more into Russel’s teapot than occam’s razor territory.

If you assume the only way to simulate an infinite number is storing it in bits, sure. Also, have we ever really done anything to require representing a truly infinite number?

“Wow denmark’s doing a good thing I hope others follow”

“Reee what about completely unrelated bad things Spain has done”

Why would anyone even bother arguing with that, engaging further with you wastes everyone’s time

What a super relevant and definitely good faith point to bring up!

I’m failing to see in the article any sort of control for the whole “higher rate of liver failure” - that’s because of alcoholism. It says those accepted advance the same - but nothing about why others are rejected. If they’re rejected because they still don’t have their alcoholism under control, that’s the same treatment any other race would get.

Is it great? Hell no! Have native americans been dealt a shitty hand and is their tendency towards alcoholism due to society failing them? Absolutely. But being denied a liver transplant due to not being expected to take care of a new one is just standard fare. Solve the issues driving them to alcoholism, the liver transplant system is working fine.
