It's not disputed. It is legal Armenian territory that Azerbaijan wants.

That's a lot of words to say "I don't believe people who call the police and file police reports". Also, that's a lot of words to say "I feel that private companies shouldn't have the ability to moderate their platform, and they should be forced to host accused rapists, despite what their advertisers believe is a good look for their brand." Of course there will be an investigation. This isn't a coordinated attack on Brand. This is reporting the news. Was it a coordinated attack on Danny Masterson? A coordinated attack on Trump supporters in the days following Jan 6th? Assuming that the investigation will undoubtedly clear Brand's name is the naive cynicism that the article is referring to.

Also, didn't one of the financiers of the movie get charged recently with kidnapping a child?

It's a verifiably trash movie. It's not even remotely realistic in its depiction of child trafficking. "Giving a rats ass about the politics" is people understanding that it's garbage conservative propaganda and nothing more.

I wish conservatives would just say the quiet part out loud and stop insulting everyone's intelligence. Own your bigotry. Don't be a wuss. Oh wait. It generally has to do with pre-emptively distracting from obvious predelictions towards pedophilia. Nevermind then.

Young ass Stephen Fry.

Look at Enderal. A stand alone Skyrim mod that people (who've played it) rate much higher than Skyrim.

Cool! You know it's just going to be an AI upscale job, so there will still be the amazingly terrible brokenness that Oblivion offered. Tying major skills to a 1-10 level up system seems to make sense initially, until you wanted to be a potion making wizard, and then it's "OOPS! you made too many potions, now you're not strong enough to fight a rat". Also, Bethesda could have made the Skill Bonus you get on levelling up more balanced, as it forces you to literally not attack any more until levelling up. If you attack too much, you might level up your weapon ability (One Handed, 2 Handed, etc) beyond the points required to level up, in which case you just wasted extra Skill Bonus points by levelling up too much before sleeping. Exploration-wise though, Oblivion is a master class in open world design. It doesn't overstay its welcome and every corner of the map is a joy to visit.

At this point, the conservative wing of North America is caught up in its own "gotcha" moments where they think uncovering hypocrisy is how you win elections. The left seems sort of preoccupied with that as well. I say, fuck hypocrisy, all politicians are going to exhibit it at some point. Let's focus on dismantling bad policy and educating people about class consciousness.

I'm arguing that aside from the fission reaction, Nuclear is just as dirty as coal.

Or, and hear me out, we could just go with renewables.

Nuclear is a dirty word because we have 80 years of demonstrating its disastrously destructive tendencies, including in North America. Trinity tests irradiated and killed entire towns. Three Mile Island is like the 3rd largest nuclear disaster of all time. Fukushima/Chernobyl haven't quelled anyone's fears of meltdowns.

Now, is a meltdown ever likely to happen? No, of course not. But that doesn't mean it can't. The mining and processing of uranium/thorium is insanely bad for the environement, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was close to coal carbon emissions.

We have thousands of miles of coastline, thousands of miles of rivers, and many large lakes in Canada. Why couldn't we have a robust hydro network?

Timidity isn't the problem. The "left" only exists in online forums such as Lemmy. Truth be told, there's been such a disastrous amount of damage done to working class consciousness over the decades during the cold war that people think wanting universal healthcare is communist.

He could try. Doubt he would have congressional support. Even Republicans understand the nature of NATO and how it protects MAD.

Oh yeah, that's how you win hearts and minds, Trump. Criticize the decision making ability of AN ENTIRE RELIGION. ON THEIR HIGH HOLIDAY.

Where's the line for you? Stephen Fry is far from your typical "spoiled rich celebrity actor". He's relatively famous, very successful, but like, what dollar threshold destroys your sympathy for people having their careers undermined?

So no daily mirror selfies or extensive vacation albums? No checking in anywhere? No open discussions on subjects that could be used as data points to create a digital profile of me? Why even use social media then?

It would effectively kill traditional phone usage pretty much overnight as enough people get scammed and scared off the technology.

I'm sure it wasn't just the HP audiobooks. He's been on television for 40 some odd years. There's hundreds and hundreds of hours of recordings of his voice to train an AI model on.
