Both names work great. DIE has the obvious implication that diversity for diversity's sake leads to death, but DEI implies that diversity is literally the god of their religion.

Watched Flashcast cover this, and it's my first direct experience with Ralph (remember the stuff he did related to Gamergate back in the day.) I never want to do that again.

Isn't Gab a twitter clone? I had a twitter for all of 4 months to follow/communicate with some game devs and I didn't really see the point with their format.

Someone at GoFuckYourselves figured out that they were going to get slammed by chargebacks/arbitrations and decided that they were going to automatically refund everyone (after initially saying they would donate to "approved charities" if you didn't manually refund.)

I suppose if you get enough people to do it they can't practically go after you for filing a false report...

Better make sure you don't get left holding the bag when a company does a buyback on their underwater stock.

I mean, a lot of those look more like Amerindians. Also, way to ruin the "ancient human empire" we'd known about since H1 by making it composed of people who despite ruling tens of thousands of worlds didn't progress past tribal markings of rank/status...

Mentioned dump-trucks because I believe they probably have some of those in the convoy/blockade, but a bulldozer can do quite a bit too.

The white chick with the white hair gives off very much the pink headed bitch in Last Jedi vibes.

That's Halsey, so that comparison isn't completely off base for the character (except Halsey is actually competent, and doesn't appear to care about much of anything except the survival of the human race (and herself) at any cost. I guess she also has that weird mother-child relationship with the Spartan-IIs, but even then she's not above sacrificing them to further her goals.

The best comparison would probably be the H2 Anniversary cutscene Cortana

interdimensional space neanderthal

Is this from the games or just the side-stuff?

Yes, All Canadians Are Bitches. The truckers are clearly just Americans that had the misfortune of being born in/moving to Cucknanada.

Are we just shitting on mods, or did a Tran E. end up on our modlist?

The left using the concept of bodily autonomy ("my body my choice") to allow people to avoid the consequences of their own actions by directly harming another, but denying that same concept and attempting to force people to accept responsibility for others to their own detriment. Apologies if that wasn't clear, I've edited that post for clarity.

OSHA did this because most of the goal was already achieved, or possibly because they realize they've overstepped and are losing power, and because (most importantly) they're definitely afraid of a 6th Circuit or Supreme Court ruling setting precedent contrary to what they want, so they're trying to moot the case.

In response to your title, it's pro-lifers using "My body, my choice" is literally just pointing out the hypocrisy. Actually, at this point I think it's evolved into a full on Hypocracy.

Also who he gets. If I'm being charitable to McConnell, looking at who is elected and what platform they ran on should inform his legislative priorities, so they best reflect the ideals of the voters the members of his party represent. Uncharitably, from a practical perspective, there are certain issues that are divisive even within the Republican party, and if he gets a narrow majority he will have difficulty getting them passed (much as you said.)

The key laws protecting the people are the Constitution and Bill of Rights, which I would assume would be exempt from automatic repeal (or I wouldn't support the system), along with any other constitutional amendment. What additional legal protections do you think are needed (at least from the Federal government)?

I mean, I don't see how you get a racial out-group bias without promoting either colorblindness or an outright belief in racial inferiority, so I don't see why the degree of conflation in his post is inaccurate. Given that there didn't seem to be the same type of top-down push against the multitude of minority racialism/identarianism as there was against white racialist/identarian while colorblindness was being pushed, I find some conspiracy to be more likely than not, but I welcome your counter opinion.

I think he was saying that pushing colorblindness (was part of what) led to outgroup bias among whites, but even non-leftist whites have less outgroup bias than almost every other racial group, IIRC.

Colorblindness was a psyop propagated against white peoples in order to destroy them. The goal was to disarm white tribalism while maintaining racial and ethnic tribalism for everyone else.

I think there were enough people for whom the ideal of colorblindness was sincerely held belief that had there not been a conscious effort to push the most extreme supremacist elements, and a narrative to convince people that their beliefs had validity (well, unless they were Cis White Men) that average Americans would have banded together against these groups and ideologies, and they would have died down to insignificance.

Colorblindness may have been part of a manipulation campaign, but so long as the ideal can be enforced in some way (that is, making the outgroup based on who forms ingroups based on racial lines and punishing them for it.) I believe you could probably make a functional society based on that ideal.
