Russia doesn't appear to need to - they own it, they already have the on \ off switch. What does blowing it up get them when they can just - as they already have - shut the thing down for "maintenance" to turn the screws on the EU?

Those that own the box version of the original Overwatch will be required to add a phone number to keep playing once Overwatch 2 launches as well.

... and Blizzard will be refunding Overwatch 1 owners who don't want this totalitarian bullshit, right?

...

Right?

See, I'm unsure if this is the DOJ just trying to drag out the case as long as they can on general principles, if it's to meet the specific target of not giving Trump a win right before the mid-terms or if they're so blinded by TDS that all they can think to do is to attack the orange man...

However the difference here is that it is whitey doing it, at the behest of these minority activists. In a place that is like... 95%+ white. To appease less than 2% (!!) of the local population...

I'm fairly sure those white activists simply do not regard themselves as the same population as you, and that, left unchecked, this will manifest itself in far worse ways than merely renaming places.

And then in the last year woke musicians (not necessarily classical ones) including people I went to school with, started referring to the city, the city, by its conlang name, which has only existed for... Less than five years. Insane...

Are you doing badthink about retiring the old badthink names, comrade? That's doubleplus ungood!

More seriously ... Did the aboriginal inhabitants build the city? If not, isn't their appropriation of the name just as bad imposing "Ayer's Rock" on something they themselves named?

Oh, silly me, I forgot whitey is untermensch and must be removed in the name of kindness and fairness.

If the platforms are so intent on exercising their "editorial discretion" then it must come at the same time with editorial responsibility.

Tech companies make bank from splitting legal hairs allowing them to outdo the most yellow journalism of days past while suffering no legal consequences for abetting terrorism and pedophilia, as they're allowed to pick and choose the best elements of publisher and platform at the same time.

Time to pick, gentlemen. Just one.

After a 120% vote in favour amongst the polled constituency?

As you might have guessed from my own response, I'm not really settled on a preference. Not that it matters, seeing as I'm probably one of the few types of foreigners the DNC would be aghast to have vote in US elections - I'm British.

Fundamentally, it's a compromise between a person likely to be a more effective President - DeSantis - and your own personal assessment of the need to humiliate the deep state types into submission - which would be a vote for Trump.

Given how brazen those deep state types are being at the moment I weight this argument more highly than I otherwise might. The American federal infrastructure must be brought to heel if your country is to be anything more in the long run than merely another implementation of China.

I understand that viewpoint.

I'm also open to the view that it needs to be Trump 2024 if only to show the FBI & friends who runs the country.

Neither, as far as I'm aware.

Just because a book is removed from schools does not mean it is banned. You're perfectly free to get yourself a copy of Debbie does Dallas but showing that in a primary school assembly is frowned upon.

she said that they replied that “they were going to take him whether they had a warrant or not.”

I mean, is anyone here surprised?

The point a lot of people miss is that Nish Kumar had the bread rolls thrown at him.

That means his skit shit the bed so fast the diners hadn't even had their soup yet. That's an impressively fast crash-and-burn.

OK, I know this is trite, but I must show how stupid this is:

Every citizen is responsible for the actions of their state, and citizens of Germany are no exception. Therefore, we do not give asylum to Jews who flee their country. They should oppose the war.

It's not a comparable situation.

But that standard is idiocy.

I'm not sure the EU believes in "domestic politics"

Half the draw for people like this seems to be forcing you to face their destruction of the stories you cherished. I cannot think of any reason why a person like that would hesitate to show their contempt for Lucas.

I'm sure many FBI agents are brave, but this is a different kind of bravery. Credit to those who have stepped up to defend their oaths and their honour.

... he then goes on to point out that the alleged newspaper the New York Times has yet to correct it's own story in the light of it being shown to be a falsehood.

It's OK, though. Libel is lies plus privilege, or something.

It is a storage facility, certainly, but it does not store megawatts. Megawatt-hours, sure, but that isn't the same thing.
