Biden's primary problem was that he could not comprehend where the criticism was coming from and would re-frame it in such a way as to absolve responsibility.

Look at the complaints about the Afghanistan evacuation. It was COMPLETELY fucked up and fucked up in ways that were 100% self inflicted.

People tried to tell him, Guam offered to help evacuate civilians, it was all denied under the black and white premise of "Well, we can't stay, we have to get out, what do you want from me?"

Nobody is saying "stay", we're saying look at the order of operations. Can we please get all the civilians out first? Apparently nobody thought of that. Can we not leave behind any usable gear for the Taliban to take over? Yeah, nobody thought of that either.

Look at the complaints about inflation and the economy. Outright denial there was even a problem. Clinton could have told him "It's the economy, stupid!" Biden? "What are you talking about, Jack? We have the best economy in the world! In... the... WOOOOORRLLLLD!"

I would imagine the dust component is incredibly dangerous too! It's been a while now, but when I was a kid, grain silo explosions were pretty regular:

As usual, lots of rumor and speculation. Some folks were saying it was a plane crash (which was debunked). Some are saying arson, but we just don't know yet.

But come on, it's a fireworks warehouse... Probably wouldn't take much...

As they dig their claws into your leg to better launch themselves off the bed...

For point 1, this sounds like a class action waiting to happen.

You buy a Nintendo console, Nintendo says you broke the rules and bans that console, now non-Nintendo games won't work on it because it's banned from reaching online services.

Indirect stuff I generally let slide, other mods may or may not. Plausible deniability and all that.

But yes, the videos some other communities allow showing drone attacks on Russian soldiers, cheering when people get killed? We'd remove those.

Of course a top level post would be removed because we don't allow video posts, but as a comment, I'd remove those too.

Wow! I had no idea that was even possible for a 3 year old! Glad she's OK!

That sounds kind of scary, did they actually get to the bottom of what happened or was it just "Hey, she can eat toast now, you're free to go!"

I'm going to spoiler tag all the Nintendo legal-ese because it's A LOT.

It boils down to this console is banned from logging in online. So a couple of questions:

1. Do you HAVE to be online to play Switch 2 games?
2. If the ban is correct for user violations, why ban the hardware? Why not ban the account?

No, because that's not a direct call to violence.

Let me give you an example:

Someone posts this story:

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cyvjj9lmq3zo

"Three killed in Ukrainian drone attack on central Russia"

"Three people have been killed and 45 injured following an attack by Ukraine on a factory in the city of Izhevsk - more than 1,000km (620 miles) from the border - Russian authorities say."

User replies "Good."

That's removable. They are applauding the deaths of three human beings.

Alternately, someone posts this story:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/russian-drone-strike-odesa-deaths-injuries-ukraine/

"Russian drone strike on port city kills married couple, injures 17, Ukraine officials say"

"Russian drones struck the southern Ukrainian port city of Odesa overnight, killing two people and injuring at least 17, Ukrainian authorities said on Saturday."

User responds with typical pro-Russia propaganda. Ukraine are Nazis, they started it, yadda yadda.

That's also removable.

I'm not interested in stopping anything outside bad behavior in the groups I moderate.

I have nothing to do with "the movement" and neither do you.
