With regards to the populace having the ability to remind our evil overlords who's boss? No. Without civilians who are armed to the teeth and capable of retaliating if pushed too far, everything else becomes moot as the government and military have literally no reason not to go full totalitarian. It's why they HAVE to resort to these subversive tactics. They can't risk open war with the civilians.
...Without the Second Amendment, they will IMMEDIATELY come for every gun. Disarming is not a question of "if" when it comes to corrupt government. (But I repeat myself.)
Interesting take. Even still, I'd rather have the means of self defense when the time comes, then be disarmed and have even less of a chance when the death squads roll up.
Quick Summary:
Mario Kart World's gimmick is.... being an open world. They added intermission roads between the tracks that the players are expected to drive on between races. However, players have by and large rejected the intermission experience for taking up 2/3 of the laps in each race, and for being dull straight-line drives compared to the actual tracks.
It was discovered that when playing online, by selecting "Random," you could make the game select tracks that have no intermission connecting to the last track. This forces the game to let you drive all three laps as normal. En mass, the fans voted for the classic Mario Kart experience. Lobbies were filled with nothing but "Random" votes.
Nintendo's response? Patch the game so that Random is now heavily weighted to only pick tracks with linked intermissions.
TLDR: Nintendo doesn't like it when their playerbase rejects their gimmicks.
No wonder commies are so supportive of tribal cultures. Professional courtesy.
But remember, real women in real life don't look like this.
Playing Reddit's Advocate. Considering how they've chased away the sane from actively using the site, that could be a legit front page to their userbase.
I find it easier to believe someone accurately wrote lefty dialog in a funny joke than to believe a lefty was actually funny.
Never forget that we can understand them, but they can't understand us.
They don't believe in anything except what will give them an edge in the moment.

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy. Nothing more, nothing less.
A worthy contender for doublespeak, but little can top "Fiery, but mostly peaceful."
Most vtuber material slides right past me, but I always smile seeing clips of Korone and Gura.
Having a reasonable buffer area between the tech and the side of the box would, in fact, stop a stapler. This is why monitors, TVs, phones and tablets are usually packaged in boxes two-to-three times as deep as they need to be. To provide this reasonable margin for error. The type of buffer used is irrelevant, other than you trying to make me seem stupid, which I do not appreciate.
You're the only one who said styrofoam.
To be fair, that really isn't a smart way to package sensitive electronics. Anyone who's bought a phone knows that it's cased within layers of cardboard and foam. Putting the screen so close to the surface is just asking for some kind of damage to happen.
Maybe I'm just a jaded fanboy who's ticked off at the big N right now, but I'd say they bear the lion's share of blame for what happened here.
New Soyjak dropped?
It's basically the Wii U to the Wii. Improved hardware and new games being released for it specifically, but also backwards compatible with Switch 1 games and software, with a handful of exceptions.
What's the point of having blackmail if you're not gonna extort people with it? I fail to see why they couldn't leak Trump-Specific... improprieties in a targeted attack. The fact that they haven't, despite throwing the kitchen sink at him leaves a pretty big negative space impression.
There was always a chance Trump was a participant in Epstein's Island fun and games. He is a billionaire after all. But the way he shunned him reads more like he was in on its existence and wanted no part of it. Add in Elon clearly crashing out, and I don't think he's the most reliable source on the matter.
...It hasn't been more than five years, and this body type nonsense has pervaded literally every aspect of the industry. This isn't natural.
"It's not a big deal to have abortions, you guys! But it's private and secret! Don't you dare ask how many of my babies I've killed!"
I don't know how anyone could watch this and not be rooting for Kylo Ren.
How in the universe could DOGE cost more than it saved? Unless of course, all the garbage spending was saved by the powers that be, in which case that can hardly be blamed on the dog.
So... question. With how garbage Google has been lately, and how mediocre the alternatives are. What's stopping someone from making a new Google search engine that worked the way the old one did?
