The thing is, as much as Donald deserves this indictment and to be convicted (for this and many, many other crimes too numerous to count), anyone who has paid the slightest bit of attention to the state of America’s DOJ and its courts should already knows how this is going to end — before the SCOTUS which will bend…

Agreed, on both counts.

Mending relations between America and Africa is going to require pulling all of America’s knives out of Africa’s back first...and good luck with that. Twisting those knives has been incredibly lucrative for American businesses exploiting African countries. And, of course, then you have to stop a Republican-controlled…

Reagan is the reason America’s higher education has been going steadily downhill while the costs keep going up, starting off by attacking higher education in CA and cutting off public funding to those schools under the lie of ‘cost cutting’ forcing them to rely on tuition. Reagan continued this assault on education…

Put down the ‘Merica kool-aid...it’s rotting your brain.

...butchery, genocide, debauchery, depravity. Then pretending those things never happened, pretending it isn’t your responsibility to correct past mistakes. And not just distant past. This shit is still happening every single day. You just turn a blind eye to it, because it’s incompatible with your delusions of…

Strangely enough, the people complaining about ‘white guilt’ have the most to be feel guilty about. Funny how that is....

Related to the topic: the Right of Consent, despite not being explicitly called out in the US Constitution, is the single most important right anyone has. Most states even recognize the basic concept — albeit in an arbitrarily limited fashion — with what’s known as the ‘age of consent.’ Many laws in the US today even…

Insulin doesn’t have a patent. The only thing being ‘patented’ are delivery devices, and those are *STILL* patented.

Actually, not anymore. Legal and judicial precedents have since been set that would have protected those companies from being broken up. You see, before the 60s, companies had to demonstrate public *BENEFIT* before mergers were permitted, with the burden of proof on the merging businesses. Now the FTC and the DOJ have…

“Honestly their track record as of late...”

On the contrary, there *IS* a high degree of agreement among gamers regarding ‘good’ games. Great not nearly as much, and excellent even less so. But good? Absolutely.

That’s the biggest problem (and one not limited to gaming) — the people ‘in charge’ are almost never gamers themselves and thus have no tangible understanding or appreciation of the medium or what actually makes a ‘good’ game. It’s also why so many of their ‘investments’ end up being bad — their lack of understanding…

And this is a stellar example of what the “Defund the Police” movement is all about — shifting funding around to OTHER kinds emergency responders, like social workers and mental health professionals, instead of sending what are essentially armed, militarized soldiers to deal with all problems. The police should never…

“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”

Conservatives: “OMG! HOW DARE YOU TEACH OUR CHILDREN HOW SHITTY WE ARE TO PEOPLE WE DON’T KNOW BUT HATE BECAUSE REASONS!!”

You can’t even claim that it was ripped from the game (though, yes, having the asset disappear from EGS), because nobody knows where *FROMSOFTWARE* got the animation, but it’s highly unlikely that it was created in-house. Many developers *license* their assets from third parties, not just tools and extensions. In this…

One thing is certain — the gaggle of greedy, incompetent nincompoops running things have a never-ending supply of excuses and scapegoats for their equally endless stream of fuckups.

More to the point, it wasn’t about her performance. By that I mean, award shows also tend not to look favorably on ‘superhero’ movies for anything regarding actor performances. Scripts, VFX, sound, and such? Sure. They win awards for those, but acting? Almost never. You’d be hard-pressed to find any superhero film…

If you think deleting these videos is going to stop AI tools from ‘stealing’ his voice (or his likeness, etc), I can assure you that it will not. The only thing that will be accomplished is removing what little revenue his work is still generating after his death.
