One of the few news sites for PC gaming. The regular readers will probably not be primarily console gamers.

People are trigger happy with the indignation here.

Sounds right. I'm not an expert but I did a report on him back in college so I've got a a little clear info and a little foggy. He certainly isn't a good guy but he's almost never represented properly which is a shame. He was no mad scientist but if people celebrated his accomplishments they just wouldn't have jailed him.

That's kind of the way things are done in china imo. It's kind of a trip visiting and hearing residents drinking the koolaid and pretending to drink the koolaid just to stay safe. I've had a few guides with different views on the government. One "extremist" just talked to me about how people are suppressed and the government could be better. Was all about how he'd be locked up and his family doesn't approve of his views. It's a different place.

K but do my thighs have to be facing diff directions like the trucks?

I know that few really care to know more but the situation is much more complicated than the information given. First of all, similar experiments have been done in china with the scientist being celebrated. The scientist He Jiankui was mostly condemned because of the media and public condemnation. His goal was eliminating HIV in the children of HIV positive parents (something so heavily stigmatized in China that you are ostracized and not even allowed to have a child via sperm washing) and he was successful! His methods were unethical but honestly pretty standard for China and he definitely acted in a manipulative manner towards the parents. But this situation in reality has nothing to do with ethics and everything to do with optics. He was jailed because the ccp cares far more about china looking good than one man. More experiments with even worse ethics continue and you're punished not based on your actions but how people feel when your studies go public.

How do you overclock the crabs? Hot butter?

I'm not doing that math. One every 6 hours.

It's hard to empathize because a tiny sect of people may have chosen not to vote for Joe Biden? Their votes certainly wouldn't have impacted the election. They might as well protest vote. Do you think everybody who you decide made a misguided or stupid decision deserves massive consequences? Are we so retributive now that we can't empathize with people because they didn't fight against the consequences correctly beforehand?

The number of bad murderers changes tho

It happens. Just gotta grin and bury it.

Not sure why you feel like it comes from non-Americans. I'm not suggesting a riot or a strike. But for now protesting is relatively safe. The most dangerous thing I've seen are the people who will heckle protesters. Protesting will also help you make connections with other people which is incredibly important right now.

This is good.

Fight for whatever you believe wherever you are and you are doing more than enough.

I'd just talk about political things. And talk about how I hope some political figures perish.

Of course that fuck isn't a good seeder. Leech.

In spirit it's a great idea but in practice it is nearly impossible to pull off and a fuckload of extra work for mods. Better to just curate your own feed. I've tried this and it might not be everyone's cup of tea but I just log off socials when the shit gets overwhelming.

Never push people not to protest. It makes connections that are needed when shit gets bad. Friends networks and plans are the lifeline in these situations

I was there and I'll be at the next one.

Look dude. This internet convo is affecting my day so I'm gonna just put a cap on it sorry I'm not really responding to you. I'm just expressing frustration because I see a lot of "somebody do something" posts and I feel like everyone is a keyboard warrior these days and nobody shows up for protests or calls in or signs letters or goes to the zoom talks or anything. So many posts and precious little action and I've got lots of pent up frustration about the world and not enough outlets. That's not anybody's problem but mine and I shouldn't be commenting about it. I actually don't have any beef with you whether you're doing anything or not. Sorry for wasting your time and I hope you have a good one.

That's on me. I was being a dick too. Wanna answer me or just keep throwing shade?

Boy howdey that sure is vague. Where did I say I'm not a factor anyway?
