I used to think that there was some Activision corporate bs that ran out several of the founders that lead to the influx of sjws. But seeing the virtue signaling posts from several of the founders and original devs news studios I no longer think activision wholly gets the blame. Blizzard most likely chose these bad policies with little to no pressure from the outside.
That’s kind of the point of mutually assured destruction and why it’s nothing more than sending arms and money to Ukraine. They did the same in Korea and Vietnam, and we did it to each other in Afghanistan. This is just the new proxy front of a new Cold War.
Part of the reason why there’s no nato forces in Ukraine is for that very reason. Russia is probably being a bit measured with its Sabre rattling as well since taking Ukraine on paper should not have been this difficult for them. They aren’t losing. But this isn’t the similar to the 6 day war results anyone was expecting either. Which leads to a wide range of questions from their command structure to does their tech actually perform as well as they say it does. Which also may have them doubting their delivery method for their bombs.
The guardian staff is free to volunteer to go fight for Ukraine. I’m not interested in nuclear war to protect one of the most corrupt governments in Eastern Europe from one of the other most corrupt governments in Eastern Europe
Typically I’d say the same but in the past I’d seen imp essentially continue an argument from there here with someone and I’m willing to believe that about there if that individual has similar views to the rest of that sub. The problem is imp would also accuse regular people here as being from consumer product when most of us had no clue what he was talking about.
It would also give the government the ability to declare more loosely what is porn. And in this new world where land whales grace Calvin Klein billboards any attractive person in underwear could be labeled as porn. See London banning swimsuit and lingerie models on ads. They didn’t claim porn they claimed body positivity. But it was really just a means to an end. Enforce the mayor of Londons religious beliefs on the people of the capital.
Or have the seats replaced with aftermarket heated seats. You can’t prevent someone from modifying their car as long as it still considered road legal. And aftermarket seats and steering wheels probably aren’t going to do that.
I wonder if they charge for pronoun changes like they do name changes….. this is going to cost the ill thousands.
