Why not couch the article as "a vulnerability was found and patched" instead of "something bad could have happened"?

"STORE COULD HAVE BEEN ROBBED!! A bystander noticed the door wasn't locked, with the owner realizing he hadn't been locking it correctly. There is no evidence anyone broke in."

News in the porcelain village in Oz.

Looks like tiktok engagement bait. That will never work here! Oh...

I think it's a bad idea to give points for things that don't matter in a race. Highest speed trap, fastest single lap, coolest livery, most spicy team radio, fan favorite overtake, dotd.

They're in a race and they should get points for doing the race well. They shouldn't "fix" the randomness of motorsports by letting unlucky but fast cars+drivers still get points for this or that.

I did like the extra... strategy that can be applied to the gaps between cars though. Instead of just driving to the end with nobody in front or behind, it added a dimension. But a kinda gamey one.

Conservative women are objects so I don't really know what it means by rape and trafficking. Aren't those terms that apply to people?

Valve will let players (including kids) gamble on skins because it boosts player count. According to them.

Big publishers will still give you rewards for signing up somewhere, entering something, going to an arbitrary website and watching their stream, etc.

But for the small devs: you're not allowed to even give a player a reward for watching an ad. The choice doesn't even matter. It just can't be done.

It's a private corporation so Valve can do whatever they want though.

Say shit about Canada, our friends. Stoke anti America shit. Decrease odds of friendly relations.

Might as well.

Edit: not like people aren't already talking, or woe is us, it's just... bullshit. It's like someone who hates Lincoln Park going up to people and making annoying statements about the band being the greatest and shitting on other music, hoping some people get mad and start trashing Lincoln Park. It's a circus.

Am I not getting it? Is this instance / community botted?

Why is there "The FBI is suing the DOJ" but then inside it's "there's these two agents, a class action, and an organization that represents agents who are suing."

Aren't those two things very different? Why would you want to tell people that and then clarify with something much less noteworthy? Am I just fucking weird and people know what others mean when they exaggerate/theorize/aesthetically dress up real life?

Edit: like is the FBIAA effectively the FBI? What is it about that information that makes it so the FBI is suing?

Musk is who we deserve. The country that treats money as speech and corporations as people and bribery as political action has the worlds richest man controlling it. Finally, the world is making some fucking sense.

Being a Nazi is as American as apple pie. Should I not accuse people of eating pie? Are Nazi salutes not ok? What if you salute them in the pussy? I'd imagine this case would be thrown out because being a Nazi isn't a blemish on your character in the US.

What about paying the volunteers who help facilitate races in the pinnacle of motorsport?

Being paid for your work should really professionalize the sport and set the tone.

Hamilton to Ferrari! Still excited.

How did you transmute "25k for families that haven't missed a bill payment in 2 years and who are buying their first home" into "everyone getting 25k to buy a home"?

Do you just disagree with whatever endgame you imagine she's reaching for, and are speaking to that? Like that policy is just shorthand for something like "everyone gets free money" and that would be bad, so her policy is bad?

Bought 2 copies on console. Game doesn't actually work on console. Bought 2 on steam. Game doesn't actually run on steam. (Or Linux?)

Come on, it's a D&D game with broken AI party members that you need to micromanage every single frame. I just wanted to try it with a friend.

Cool looking scam though.

My earliest memories of the internet was boobs, and then later a helicopter decapitation.

It's kind of annoying that so many id restrictions focus on porn. Maybe it's not normal for today's kids/teens to come across violent content, compared to people that mightve come across rotten, faces, 4chan, etc. back then.

Also Weinstein hiring Black Cube to discredit his accusers. Black Cube is all ex spies and sophisticated malware. Fusion centers are all about parallel reconstruction. Taking on a corp / billionaire (the legal way) means going up against a nation state level threat.

Mahmoud v Taylor is objecting to the idea that teachers will be forced to read books that contain ideas that go against whatever beliefs they claim to have.

I don't get what their ideal system would be like. Homeschool style curriculum taught by tax funded public teachers?

You can already interact with institutions and have a say in what is taught -- where's the opt outs for religiously influenced policy decisions, like abortion or contraceptives?

"We decided something democratically, but I didn't like the outcome and want an option to not live by it." The religious are preaching to the choir.

Edit: link to a source, but probably not a good one because I never figured out a good way to read this stuff on my own. https://www.supremecourt.gov/Search.aspx?FileName=%2Fdocket%2Fdocketfiles%2Fhtml%2Fpublic%5C24-297.html

They are butter spread too thin.

Like I said I was starting on "step 2" where you start with internal + external analyses = a result. A system is what is written and what is lived, I just assume it's where we start in politics / economics / whatever. What is prescribed is a simple data point. That's why I looked at the statements "Cuba is X, for proof here's the governments website" as absurd. I didn't realize people were speaking about hypotheticals, and reacted at the idea that someone would use that kind of logic to explain how something functions in reality.

I think I'm mixing up your statement of a basic datum, the way Cuba is written to be, with the idea that it's indicative of what you'll likely find. Hence, I was skeptical of the utility of using the written system as meaningful to the statement that Cuba was democratic. Like if people are going to talk about that, I assume it's not a technicality they are referring to, they are talking about real people living in a real country... so what good is the official parties word on how things are operating?

Also didn't even realize you were the same person from the other thread, didn't mean to show up here and bother you.

I'm not complaining, I'm giving you a relevant example of where these labels come from. It's .ml and .world and I just don't have any recent memory of this on .world. I'm sure there's an example or two, just not recent.

I was silent because I wasn't sure what people were saying. I don't think people who disagree with what I say are necessarily misinformed, or less intelligent, or mean. So it comes down to how I am certain people (including you) know that what is written on paper and what flows in reality are not 1:1 matches. But they tell me something they wouldn't accept if they were in my shoes.

Maybe that skepticism sounds ridiculous? But if structure is important and reality can be different and everyone knows this I think it's odd to see officially meaningless official material in the room. Why can't we throw it out?

Edit: imagine we're pointing out that America is controlled by billionaires and someone links the official site saying "No, it's still three branches and the will of the people." You toss it immediately.
