He seems to specifically be gunning for the demographic of both right and left wing people that support pseudoscience nonsense. All the anti-vaxxers, for example. It's certainly entirely possible he'd steal more voters from Trump than from Biden.

I thought that was Jr's goal? He seems to be chumming up with right wing conspiracies pretty well.

Apologies for actually knowing the history of the subject. I've had these debates with misinformed people on subject regarding Clinton, Biden, and so many others going back years. For some reason, far left people actively fall for made up right wing BS claims about Democrats.

Really? You're bringing up that long since debunked canard? I can only assume you don't know anything about the context because you were a child when said vote happened.

Hint: That vote in question wasn't actually about allowing a war. And it didn't help that Bush actively lied about what intel we had from Iraq and Afghanistan. He really should have faced charges for that alongside Cheney.

Feel free to point out what corruption and morals you're referring to that aren't based on conspiracy theories or made up right wing mud-slinging then.

I remember a lot of the usual made up claims about her being anti-LGBT despite her long history of actually supporting the LGBT community (and voting or not voting for gay marriage in NYS is not a gotcha about her history or her reasons then).

It reminds me a lot of the made up nonsense about Biden's history with the African American community that right wingers and leftists were trying to mudsling over, yet said groups still being perplexed why he continued to have such massive support in said community. Because despite twisting of statements from decades ago, it was his actions that mattered. And that there's context to those actions (such as how the black community itself was the primary pushing force behind the 1994 crime bill).

Oh, fun, we're going back to the usual BS that tried to be thrown at her, despite her having the longest history of supporting the LGBT community out of anyone involved. I also remember leftists getting super pissed off when so many of the LGBT community supported her (though not the young ones who didn't live through the period) because of her long history of supporting the community and being there, both personally and with her political position.

With her being likely the first Congressperson to force equal federal compensation and benefits for same sex couples that worked in her office or, later as SoS, who were in her department. Even if those couples weren't married in the time period before that became legal.

Wait, wait, wait, are we talking about the healthcare plan that was fundamentally based on the individual mandate from the Heritage Foundation?

Also, are you referring to this plan from Hillary?

Robespierre definitely found that one out.

So caring about things and the world is pointless?

Yeah, that was exactly the feeling at the time. No one saw Trump coming.

I can only assume people making claims otherwise now are kids who have no understanding of the history involved.

Since when was she a centrist? Her congressional voting and action history put her way left of the party, way farther than Obama, and second only to Bernie Sanders.

What political side even are you? I assume some far left tankie idiocy.

Why wouldn't she have been good? She was one of the few people in Congress that actually cared about understanding and enacting policy (ie actually getting stuff done). Her platform was the only one with actual details on how to accomplish the stated goals on a legal level.

Not that any of that matters now, since her comment here is pretty shit.

But I don't like the re-writing of history on how she was a million times better candidate than Trump and had a ton of made up conspiracy nonsense being claimed about her at the time.

This one in particular is owned by the public, meaning the Berlin state government can control who is on the board and appoints the advisory committee.

So, yes, it is essentially state controlled.

So, what exactly does Minecraft (one of the primary games mentioned in the lawsuit) do to cause this? Because that seems like a major outlier compared to the other listed games.

It would help if the lawsuit was actually focused on lootboxes, microtransactions, and the like as harmful gambling.

But it doesn't. The lawsuit claims video games themselves being good creates an addiction.

Even /r/worldnews isn't able to do much arguing against the new West Bank settlement expansion. There were some shills in the discussions over there still trying to push a "they deserve it" narrative, but it wasn't getting much traction.

The best they can do at this point is try and push all blame on Netanyahu and Likud.

I mean, individual IDF soldiers have been uploading this sort of thing to their social media the whole time. They seem perfectly happy and proud of such footage.

It certainly is more mask off this time around. They aren't trying to hide behind euphemistic slogans like "ethics in game journalism". Now they are just blatantly open about their anger that women and minorities are being represented in games and how that's a bad thing.

I honestly don't think they know, not for all of them at least. The bombing has likely disrupted their communications with various regions that their groups are residing in and any groups that stopped reporting in makes it unclear if they all died and whether the hostages died with them.

Additionally, we already know that there were a number of other groups involved on October 7th that weren't Hamas and they each kidnapped a handful of hostages. I don't know if Hamas is able to get info from those other groups on the status of things.
