One of the many deceiving things about the word is that they've changed the meaning, as they usually do, to no longer meaning "involuntary celibate"; celibate doesn't mean you're a virgin or just not having sex, it means you're not married; you could extend it do just being single and it still doesn't involve just sex. Still, no surprise here, word games are just part of their arsenal. I wonder, how much time until volcel makes an appearance; oh, it already exists, it's called mgtow.
"Unlike the War Thunder leaks of the past, which were unlawful (and theoretically punishable by death in some countries) but mostly harmless."
But I thought every life is precious... And anyway, weren't some of the leaks on the Challenger 2 tanks the UK sent there or was it a different model?
Apparently you don't even have to go that far back to see this. In 1999 a vaccine against the Rotavirus was pulled after it was found that it caused 1-2/10000 adverse reactions. The latest study from Taiwan puts the number of adverse reactions, at least to the Pfizer one, to 1/1000.

This is in the same vein as "some people did some things", variations on the same theme of talking around the issue when people of you tribe are recognized as having been involved. "At an event something happened" in this case. They usually try fool you into believing that one your people did it, being unhappy with the target etc.
The only cited one guy saying it's OP and his explanation is this:
Capitalist countries work in 3 layers. Capitalists get around 25-30 pounds pay, clerks and middle managere get around 10-20 while workers around 3-5. After council republic enacted, a special "workers cooperative" ownership is made where the capitalists get nothing and all the excess wealth turned for the workers, making them overall richer. Their PP (purchasing power) is used to buy more basic need,. Making higher demands. Higher pay also make them have higher living standards, so higher immigration. Its just so easy
Haven't played this one yet, only Vic2, can that actually be done or is he making stuff up? Or maybe he posted that just before the collapse, like you explained.
"I hate landowners," wrote(opens in new tab) one player just after release. "I hate these inbred, backass backwards, slave owning, tax stealing, progress blocking, head in the sand, law hating, stupid hat wearing, anachronistic assholes, I hate Landowners."
At the same time, it's not like successful communism is incredibly easy to implement.
There are also alternatives to more liberal communism, like command economies and authoritarian, state-run socialism, but players aren't using them as much—nor are they complaining about them. --- He's almost using the F-word! So close yet so far...
I guarantee you a white teenage male would probably get asked what he knows about Metallica if he wore their shirt.
That actually happened to me in my late teens while walking around in town. I was wearing a Ride the Lightning t-shirt and some random guy walking a few steps behind me, another metal-head, comes and puts his arm around me and asks me if I know Metallica's members on that album, not at the time(2000 iirc). I tell him the names and he just walks away after shaking my hand... I still kinda regret not asking if he was able to read or not (band member names were on the back) but that could've ended badly since he wasn't alone.
It's nice when you get asked stuff like that out of genuine interest and maybe even make few buddies along the way, like you did. On the other hand, maybe a little gate keeping isn't that bad seeing as how some hobbies have been infiltrated by these destructive ass-hats.
Also: FTX Climate
Hmm... Initiatives we support:
Giving Green Giving Green is a guide for individuals and businesses to make more effective climate giving decisions.
(carbon)plan Data and science for climate action.
GoodFoodInstitute Modernizing meat production. The Good Food Institute is a nonprofit think tank and international network of organizations working to accelerate alternative protein innovation.
Hardly surprising, although at this point to keep the lenders from turning them into pariahs, they all pledge allegiance.
You gotta give it to the soviets and he rest of the european leftists, managing to convince so many people that right-wing socialism is a thing, is something I'd never think possible. Well they actually convinced everyone that nationalism is a right-wing doctrine and not just a "flavor" you can add to any doctrine... national communism, national socialism, national liberalism, national conservatism. Also, anarchism is somehow a leftist ideology... even though everything on the left depends on centralized power. That should be the actual extreme right-wing position.
In a statement, Surrey Police said: “When we receive an allegation of a crime, in this instance one where a grossly offensive message is said to have been communicated, it is our job to assess it alongside any available evidence to identify if an offence has been committed. If it has, we gather further evidence and carry out an investigation to prove or disprove the allegation. That is exactly the process that is being followed in this case.”
According to Farrow, two police officers showed up at her home while she was preparing dinner and told her that they’d come to arrest her for “malicious comms.” Farrow said she asked the officers whether they had a warrant but they told her they don’t need one and one officer barged his way into her home.
To be fair, people wielding sharpened fruit such as kiwis, can be dangerous.
Judging from the premise, it can lead to interesting situations since returning home from the meat grinders that were the European or Pacific fronts couldn't have been easy. Well it never appears to be easy, no matter the war.
If you don't mind me adding to your suggestion, I've assembled a list of noir and noir-ish movies. Check them out and see if anything looks interesting enough to watch, there's also some big names in there.

Is it because he's black or they think he's a Muslim?
Or maybe because he was and still is part of the establishment, and many things seemed to have ramped up during his terms, surveillance and the worsening of race relations to mention a few. All of this after running with those "Change" ads and posters. Well things sure did change.
Something that was previously unaffordable becomes affordable, people will naturally seek it out.
Be that as it may, just because something like a sex change becomes cheaper it doesn't mean that most people start considering it all of a sudden. Don't discount the stellar work "experts" are putting in, convincing all those people who just didn't know what they were, especially teens. I remember reading that gender dysphoria was fixable by less invasive means such a medication.
The upcoming Splinter Cell remake will include a rewritten story in order to appeal to a new generation of players. We want to keep the spirit and themes of the original game while exploring our characters and the world to make them more authentic and believable.
Gotta keep that ESG score up!1!
Just like they did with racist, yatzee and fascist. I dislike a leftist as much as any other normal person but give me some evidence. People are reacting almost instantly without the need of any proof for quite some time now. Doctor Pavlov would be proud.
Same thing with some NGOs that pretend to care about one cause or another. They do little more than talk about it since actually fixing anything (as long as their area of interest is indeed fixable and not a complete grift) would end their self-issued (or sometimes less so) mandate.
They're probably unable or unwilling to do so, especially their resident drama queen, Andy Chalk. Almost every nontroversy-covering article is/was usually written up by him, just like this one.
