I’m not sure I understand that response given what you’re replying to. Because I’m pointing out how this is beyond an inadequate response even if this went to just the most vulnerable people, which its not. This isn’t enough to get to the point where we could even get to the shitty situation of ‘well the rest can…

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced that the state would provide one million N95 face masks for residents throughout the region

Replying to your follow up here rather than the first part of your reply.

Honestly I’m impressed. Somehow you managed to bring up racist talking points in a conversation, about a completely different piece of media, that has nothing to do with that even tangentially. And perhaps even more impressively you did that while also being transphobic. Bravo. Well done.

And please don’t interpret me as being against the idea of her being trans or being against the community...

The correct solution to the question posed by Musk, as well as any question he poses, is to hit him in the head with a brick.

So you do agree that the “expanded Mona Lisa” image is definitely art?

Why can’t you just admit that you might be wrong, and that you might have a knee-jerk reaction against art that doesn’t seem to have required “enough” work to you?

Lol what? Then how exactly do you explain its existence? How is it here if no one thought of it or worked to create it? How did it come to be?

You spent a lot of words not actually addressing what I said and instead making things up, never mind being exceedingly insulting to a wide range of professions in your comparisons. But I’ll address a few of your statements that actually got close to things.

I ended up with Crossguard + Dual, largely because I had already invested more in dual at the time, but staff worked great too. Dual was good enough at groups thanks to the speed, and had some decent single target.

I wanted to like it, but in practice it just didn’t feel like it offered anything that was actually useful. Oh I can shoot people at range? Ok...I guess. Wasn’t having any issues with them. It didn’t really feel all that great at dealing with groups, or high health enemies. I’d have to jump through hoops to really…

It’s a “stretch” to say that expanding the Mona Lisa is an idea and a vision conceived by a human being? How so?

Let’s look at the facts again

Good luck on the rest of your strawman arguments!

I don’t know what to tell you friend.  There are lots of games out there that don’t use predatory tactics to squeeze every last cent out of you.  That you seem to be entirely unaware of that fact is truly mind boggling. 

So do you believe that the game is not going to advertise the battle pass at all? That its not going to try to get you to buy it? That the company isn’t going to use exploitive tactics to get you to spend more money? And you believe not wanting to pay for a company to inflict that on you is somehow silly?

Oh well that certainly explains it. You seem to think that the base game and the battle passes are two entirely unrelated things that can only ever be considered entirely in isolation. In reality they’re very closely linked together.

Yes, that value proposition is up to us. And as Straw Hat originally stated, they aren’t going to be buying it because of the value proposition. There was no crisis.

Its the numerous suits and investigations regarding Twitter’s inability to pay, or refusal to pay, its bills and everything coming out around that.
