Anti-user features are a major thing. People are dumb enough with technology you can get away with openly screwing over your "customers". The antifeature in this case is "it's not actually the advertised game, it's a cheap pay to win thing".
Presumably, people download this thinking it's cool, and then end up playing it anyway and whaling for the "developers", who may literally be four people, one of which reskins existing games, while everyone else does sales and marketing.
The thing is, it's usually true. Even when it's not hard it's often complicated - just think about climate change over the last several decades, for example. I don't envy politicians, who have to keep everyone distracted and happy while their staffers do the real work. They seem to enjoy the gig though.
The poor penguins.
I don't know what province you're in, but some of them have their own program.
You wouldn't be the first person who's sure they're not getting them, because they come as a direct deposit and slip under the radar.
Believe it or not, pulling money out of circulation and putting it promptly back in doesn't effect the total supply!
It's a canard for doing less about climate change without saying that outright, since their base demands the former and the broader public demands the latter. Plus, they get to talk about less taxes, which makes their other natural demographic happy.
Ask for scalding hot dishwater to show that you're hardcore. A bowl of hot sauce is also acceptable. /s
If only there was a website called "StreamHub" or something.
Honestly the content vs. characteristic method of delivery distinction is subtle enough this is still a great way of explaining.
Which is a library written in C, of course.
Russia should have had the conventional phase all finished in a couple months, so by that measure Ukraine. Russia has also lost territory the whole way past the battle of Kiev, so by that measure also Ukraine. Neither look set to win any time soon, so by that measure (which is probably the important one) it's a stalemate. The big variables now are Western support and Russian political stability as the conflict drags on. Neither side is close to running out of men.
The claims that Russia was winning the whole time come from basically the geopolitical version of flat earthers, who believe exactly the opposite of what everyone else does. Or actual Russian agents, but as far as I can tell that's rare.
So “eat the rich” is just edgy humor or what?
Yes. Most people don't want to eat other people. I would expect the explicit cannibalism to clue you in to a level of irony there.
Weird, because somehow, every time that every time communism has been tried, it involved massive genocide, though perhaps one could argue that the majority of it was the result of incompetency, because the majority of the victims starved to death as a result of disastrous agricultural policies.
Genocide has to be at least a bit deliberate, and generally they just fucked up their economy bad enough agriculture was negatively effected. In the USSR's case at least, the starvation affected the republics pretty equally, too. As Ukrainians were starving so were Khazaks. For political reasons, some parties have tried to make it sound like a targeted ethnic thing, but it just wasn't, and it certainly wasn't on purpose.
but you have to admit that even when taking to low estimates, communism’s death toll is far higher than that of the Nazis. OP is correct, they’re all evil ideologies.
This is the part where the communists come out with capitalism's death toll. Dumb ideology, maybe, evil ideology no, at least not on it's own.
Edit: Also, I take issue with not counting all of WWII as part of the Nazi death count, since they very deliberately made it happen. Consider this was in the space of just a few years, vs. an entire human lifetime for the Soviets.
From river to the sea Palestine will be free = genocide/expel all Jews in-between
That's far from the only interpretation.
Do you have a link to the original comments? All I can find is the angry blog post accusing him, and it's partly paywalled.
This is bad. Reminder that there's just ~2000 of them known, though, so it only takes 8 seconds for everyone else to pass their annual emissions collectively.
It's not an excuse to not care about your own impact.
