  • Found it

    Starting Season 10, all new heroes will be immediately unlocked when they launch. All existing heroes will also be unlocked for players. This means that heroes will no longer need to be unlocked through the Battle Pass to be playable in all game modes.

    New players will still need to complete the first-time user experience to unlock heroes as they learn the ropes. Once the heroes from the original Overwatch roster have been unlocked, all Overwatch 2 heroes will also become available.

    So unless there was another change, new players still need to play/win games in order to unlock the full roster.

  • They actually changed that a while back, new heroes aren't in the battlepass any more, everyone gets them for free. I don't know how that works with the "new player experience" where you needed to win games to unlock the base heroes on a new account though.

  • You know Trump was already president once, right? It's not like it's a secret that he's anti-LGBTQ people.

    We Made A List Of All The Anti-LGBT Stuff Trump Has Done As President from 2018, it includes

    • Saying it’s legal to fire workers for being transgender.
    • Arguing that it’s legal to fire workers for being gay.
    • Making transgender female prisoners live with male prisoners.
    • Telling the Supreme Court that shopkeepers can turn away LGBT customers.
    • Withdrawing protections for transgender students.
    • Refusing to investigate anti-transgender discrimination complaints in public schools.
    • Trying to kick transgender people out of the military.
    • Issuing a religious liberty policy.
    • Starting to rescind protections for transgender patients.

    and their list goes on.

    The Trump administration on Friday finalized a rule that would remove nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ people when it comes to health care and health insurance from 2020

    A controversial new rule that could allow homeless shelters to turn away transgender people based on physical appearance is the Trump administration’s latest attempt at restricting trans rights. also from 2020

    I'm not sure it's possible to get a full picture of everything Trump did wrong, even if you narrow it down to specific topics like LGBT rights. A lot of these things aren't crimes, but that's only because he was the one writing the laws and policies.

  • That's all well and good, I'm not trying to deny that those methods work, but booty was claiming that the article telling us this year is the hottest on record was a lie without any real clarification why he thought that.

    So either he read the he only read the headline and wanted to feel smug about it, or he was trying to downplay the seriousness of the situation by saying it used to be worse millions or billions of years ago. I don't really care which, the outcome is the same either way.

  • But new research points to a striking pattern: Higher premiums are being charged in states where regulators apply less scrutiny to requests for rate increases, compared with states where officials question the justifications offered by companies and try to keep rates low, the data show.

    Not what I was expecting to read, but not that surprising either.

  • Every month since June 2023 – 13 months in a row – has ranked as the planet’s hottest since records began, compared with the corresponding month in previous years, the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) said in a monthly bulletin.

    From the second line of the article. Here's the monthly bulletin they're talking about.

    Keep in mind that this is the global average temperature, there could be some places (like Northern Spain) that experienced lower temperatures.

  • Temperature records from thermometers and weather stations exist only for a tiny portion of our planet's 4.54-billion-year-long life. By studying indirect clues—the chemical and structural signatures of rocks, fossils, and crystals, ocean sediments, fossilized reefs, tree rings, and ice cores—however, scientists can infer past temperatures.

    From your source

    June 2024 was the hottest June on record, the European Union's climate change monitoring service said on July 8, continuing a streak of exceptional temperatures that some scientists said puts 2024 on track to be the world's hottest recorded year.

    From the article

    We don't exactly have records from millions or billions of years ago, so I don't know why you think this article is lying to you.

  • But he said any further comments could be damaging for NATO.

    "One of the reasons why NATO is successful is that we have always stayed out of domestic political issues," he said.

    "If I start to say anything that makes it possible to connect me to ongoing political debates in any allied country, I will actually weaken the alliance."

    He wouldn't, and he knows it. He was asked about Biden's health and did his job by not really answering.

  • How do we know that one of them and not half of them are criminals

    We've already done this, pay attention.

    The research does not support the view that immigrants commit crime or are incarcerated at higher rates than native-born Americans.
    ...
    What’s more, the arrival of record numbers of immigrants at the United States–Mexico border over the past two years has not corresponded with an overall increase in crime in so-called “blue” cities where many of the recent arrivals have settled. In most places, the opposite has happened — crime, including violent crime, has trended downward (other than larceny and a small increase in robbery) after peaking across the country in 2020. This has been true since the spring of 2022, the year Republican governors, including those in Arizona, Florida, and Texas, began transporting undocumented immigrants to cities with more immigrant-friendly policies, including Boston, Chicago, New York, and Washington.

  • Am I supposed to be seeing a fact check during the debate? Because it seems more like "I want to move on to another subject" and "well anyways" the first few times the moderator speaks.
