The punishment was easy, so the intent wasn’t as great. You know, the difference between a bullet to the head and repeated bashing with a rock. I’m sure in all these instances, the lack of effort was a relief to the target of the action.

I personally don’t get expecting someone to put his livelihood on the line to say out loud what people want to hear. If Markiplier’s lack of endorsement of piracy is what was going to stop you from pirating, I don’t know what to say. If it’s what it takes to make you stop supporting him, that’s your choice.

For me, it sounds like he is saying, “My corporate overlords want me to say that piracy isn’t the option. Heck, I don’t know how it works, but it isn’t too hard…uh…but I know only a little about it. They’re standing behind me, aren’t they?” I like him well enough, but have only watched his channel on other people’s devices. If he was more senior, he might say different things, not unlike some developer studio leaders. He might not, hard to say. It won’t have any bearing one way or another on my actions.

But, again, all they can prove is that you signed up to Signal and when you last signed in.

Pretty sure that’s a horse skull, and holy fuck, why was that ever made?

Edit: probably not a horse, but some kind of ungulate.

Well, pizza is pretty important, too.

Having addresses be easily legible for emergency services isn’t inconsequential, and is legally required where I live.

Yeah, this reads like, “I suck at this skill, so this skill must be useless and the people who do use it are wrong.”

And you don’t perhaps think your attitude is guided by your feelings? Why should others around you have to be the toilet where you deal with your feelings by having such a negative attitude? Or perhaps none of us are sufficient to do this on our own, and sometimes we rely on those close to us to get us through the parts we find difficult.

The fact you liken emotions to a waste product, and not an equally vital part of the entire process, says it all.

Holy shit, it’s almost like men and women sometimes have different motivations! Maybe the problem isn’t the event, but how she feels about it. And maybe the solution is to let her get it off her chest instead of suppressing it. I know, us guys generally don’t like to deal with our feelings, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist, or that it wouldn’t be healthier if we did.

small thing to get hung up on

The thong, right?

Marriage is by definition not consequence-free. It has many obligations. It’s also great if you at least don’t mind those obligations.

Smith: I always stay focused on issues

Reporter: Smith says she only meant that Guilbaut (?) should be fired…

So, no capability of self-reflection or consistency. Stereotypical populist.

It’s just how you use it…

Yep, when RIF died I left. I only go there for Google searches now, and only if the info isn’t somewhere else.

Well shit, now I feel like a bit of an ass. Sorry for the snark.

A whole screen of text and you didn’t even finish the first sentence of my comment, and don’t appear to have read the second to last one…

I mean, Russia would gain a country’s worth of land if Europe and America would just fuck off, so I’d say he has as much to gain as any given billionaire in America and Europe. And politically weakening your opponents by sowing division among their electorate seems like a relatively easy way to do it. Hell, there’s even a book about it.

Certainly, those billionaires have been pushing in the same direction, but I think they have help.

I just love the people who go crazy when the government passes a law that people are sure will be unconstitutional, and of course the latest time the Liberals did it Poilievre was all over it, then when says he will not only pass unconstitutional laws but will use the Notwithstanding clause to keep them, they are suspiciously silent.

Poilievre isn’t an idiot, for all his other failings. Just because he hasn’t outright said how far he’s willing to take things doesn’t mean he doesn’t have plans to. It has the potential to be very bad.

Just watch for graphics tearing. On a completely unrelated note, why are earthquake zones so heavily populated?

Well, fascism does seem to love having enemies to distract their populace with. Here’s an article talking about it.
