Hot take, maybe we shouldn't do state sponsored execution if they're so easy to botch huh

Well that and a large majority of medical corporations refuse to provide their drugs for this purpose. That was one of the main reasons the "lethal injection cocktail" kept changing, because companies found out their drugs were in it and took legal action.

Cautiously

last year

not to downplay the events as tragic as they are but the headline made me think this happened like, yesterday.

It's not just deciding the candidates. It's a lot less of a vote in an election (like a primary) and more of a neighborhood meeting. People give speeches, express support or disdain, and try to convince other people to support their candidate. I believe they still vote at the end, but it's not like an election where voting is the only thing you do. It's different depending on the state, but that's how it generally works in Iowa.

Edit; also important to note that caucus has different meanings depending on where it happens. I.e. if it happens in Congress then it's a meeting of peers with similar backgrounds who then vote or decide on policy positions.

When it comes to arcade racers people seem to either forget or just don't know about trackmania games. They aren't perfect by any means but id certainly consider them among the best

This is a good video on the topic While I personally can very much see why they've banned some runners, I just can't see why for others. I don't agree with everything the youtuber says but it's very compelling.

In short, the organization just seems very quick to blow minor mishaps way out of the water. They seem to enjoy treating their customers and their fanbase as children, and instead of letting people work out their own differences as the adults they are, they like to step in and handle it themselves. Sometimes this goes well, but most of the time it doesn't.

Basically, the way they run the event just tends to cause drama and it doesn't look like they'll be changing anytime soon. I enjoy the runners and the runs, but the event organizers clearly have a lot of issues going on. There's a reason you just don't see this kind of drama with ESA.

Honestly I might check it out but they rarely seem to play games I'm interested in (first person shooters) and their management style gives me the ick. Very very puritanical over the most minor things.

Quake Live

i prefer the term "sexiest"

I really like CDs. I know they're not the best but it's got the physical niceties of vinyl without being too bulky.

As we all know, 90% of gamblers go home before making it big

Not even mean, borderline conspiratorial in terms of fake stuff. I guess people have been "burned" a lot by fake stuff in the past, but even when something's fake they bring out every pitchfork available. It's like they don't understand the concept of entertainment. Not everything has to be real to be entertaining.

I think I've seen more internet rioting over fake stuff than I have over genuinely bad things.

Maybe, but im not really the community leadership type of person

Similar for looking up how to play Crusader Kings.

it's entertaining at this point

Been on the Internet for a while. 100% of people who say this are not entertained and are really saying this to stroke a badly bruised ego. OP, it's clear to me that you got your ego damaged when people poked holes in your plan to make less money by buying things from shady sites. I hope after your sleep you come back to engage in a healthy manner without constantly trying to act morally superior or at least uncaring about real moral grey areas. Supporting these sites negatively affects real people.

I have heard of proton mail but haven't tried it

When the idea of beehaw leaving the fediverse comes up I see a few users from outside of beehaw get pretty upset about it. I wonder if this is some kind of FOMO reaction? Just food for thought.

Is this not a forum? I'm confused on whatever definition you're going for where private conversations make something a forum. What is this then?
