The Supreme Court has ruled repeatedly that the right to anonymous free speech is protected by the First Amendment. A frequently cited 1995 Supreme Court ruling in McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission reads:

Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. . . . It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation . . . at the hand of an intolerant society.

Abducting thousands of Ukrainian children, indoctrinating them with propaganda, and forcing them to live as Russian citizens is genocide.

Performing forced sterilizations on Uyghurs is genocide.

Thanks for demonstrating what I said, though. It's clear you don't see any problem with those things.

Capitalism=bad Genocide=bad Opression in any form=bad

Unless Russia or China do it. You left that part out.

A lemmygrad user condemning Israel for genocide is the purest form of hypocrisy I've ever seen. Make up your fucking mind.

That's a foolish assumption. Plenty of countries have strong reasons to weaken Israel, and plenty of other countries have strong reasons to support them.

Russia and China are spreading as much propaganda about this as the the US and its allies, guaranteed.

Unionizing and striking are effective, but they'll stop being effective if they become illegal. They're already less effective than they should be, because of legal restrictions.

Protesting is only useful for getting in the news and convincing people to consider certain issues when they vote. They will never directly cause change.

And boycotting is just plain worthless. You'll never get enough people to join a boycott for large corporations to care.

If it doesn't have any legitimacy, then the only option left is to assassinate people until legitimacy is restored.

If you aren't killing people, then vote.

Corporations love for you to be distracted with the methods that are futile.

That's why saying not to vote is pro-corporation.

It doesn't presuppose that at all. The only way to get that option is shift the overton window to the left, and the only way to do that is to vote for the candidate on the left, even if they're not as far left as we'd like.

Voting and calling representatives is a futile approach. They’re a distraction at best.

That's conservative, pro-corporation propaganda.

You know, normally I would agree with you, but this one feels different to me. I think it's because there's no endgame, so if I out-level all the enemies then there's nothing left to play for.

I have no idea what that means, but it sounds accurate

enemies scale? to whag degree?

Damage, hp, and drop rarity. It means you can go anywhere in the city at any level (after act 1) and both the challenge and rewards will feel good. It's also nice because you can grab the iconics you want for your build right away instead of playing half of the game without them.

You still gradually get more powerful as you get more perks. It's just not as simple as out levelling the enemies anymore.

also heres what one mjnute of modded rebalanced combat looks like

TTK is still pretty high compared to that video, unless you invest heavily in the Cool tree and focus on headshots.

I'm not familiar with the mods, but the combat was definitely rebalanced. Enemies scale with your level now, guns themselves were rebalanced, armor is on cyberware instead of clothing, and the new perk trees are more consistently useful instead of some perks being worthless and others being game breaking.

Which is easier to outrun, a knife or a bullet?

That's pretty much it. Apparently the format optionally supports compression and even transparency, but last time I used paint it didn't do any of that, which is why the files were so massive.

I'm pretty sure GSRM wrote A Song of Ice and Fire.

It is hurting people
