In principle, banning kids from social media is a good thing. You still have to worry about the teachers, but not giving every freak on the planet access to try to groom your kids should be common sense.

The real problem is the expectation that adults will be compelled to prove they're not children by exposing their identities, which will be a tool to suppress and punish dissent.

Elon would probably be a mixed bag, but Rudy would be terrible.

Rudy's problem is that he only views Magic as a speculative market and is dismissive of the ecosystem that prevents the floor from falling out of that market. He's the guy who would kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, because he doesn't understand that his investment is dependent on the continued health of the game, and the continued health of the game is dependent on not going all in on the degenerate gamblers.

With Elon, I don't know how it would go. There's not much of a victory in saving the company if it means cutting the things that make it worth saving.

Shareholder responsibilities require that you put the best interests of the shareholder first, but that's not supposed to mean you have to stick your head into every mousetrap you find along the way. If companies are being sued for not making shortsighted, self-destructive decisions that is a corruption of the intent behind the rule.

The dwarf and woman look fine. Nothing special, but fine. The soldier guy is incredibly uninteresting for some kind of merfolk, and the halfling is rather ugly. None of them are so exceptional that having them as companions would be a selling point.

Rape? They'd fight you to the death to avoid it.

This was a while ago, and it's still retarded. A Paladin is a Charisma-based class, making it a terrible fit for someone of low social intelligence.

Because the OP's title is retarded. You don't post a story about one woman taking a stand against leftist bullshit and lump her in with the rest of them.

Most live action adaptations at least have the justification of lowering the floor on the budget (a saving which may or may not be eaten up by the need for higher quality special effects) but The Lion King wasn't even live action - it was all all CGI.

Labour didn't win, the Tories lost - Starmer got less votes than the literal traitor Corbyn did when he lost last election, and it was only the much deserved implosion of the Tories that saved them.

Count me among those who think this is stupid. If the DOJ was going to do anything, the advertising branch is the only rational target. While there are improvements that could be made to the browser market - namely, gutting half the Mozilla Foundation - the current situation with Google propping up almost the entire browser market as a loss leader has been pretty good for everyone.

No, this was the one who banned /r/SuperStraight and tried to suppress an article about his past.

They were able to do that because Reddit is a San Francisco company run by the kind of degenerates who would give admin privileges to a lunatic who was thrown out of the Greens Party for hiring a child rapist under an alias. The counter-strategy is for conservatives to build the same kind of infrastructure (primarily communications and finance) and ruthlessly protect the levers of power from leftist infiltration.

Assuming it's not an out-and-out scam, it's using the same logic as any proof-of-work cryptocurrency. In theory no attacker is going to make the necessary investment to subvert the awards knowing that doing so will destroy the credibility of the awards and make their investment worthless, but for some people destroying this upstart would be its own reward and be worth some amount of money.

Read your own screenshot. The word "genocide" was invented to describe the Holocaust. The Holocaust is not the only genocide, but previous genocides were not called "genocide" by contemporary sources.

Only the first one is a legitimate criticism. If you ask Google AI about a word invented to describe the Holocaust and expect it to not mention the Holocaust, you're an idiot. The problem with the second one is claiming the colonisation of North America was a genocide.

It's the most recent user-generated quiz. The worst you can say of Sporcle in this case is that they haven't preemptively blacklisted left-wing nonsense submissions.

Instead of Batman being a rich billionaire who watched his parents get murdered, he's the lower-middle-class orphan who relies more on gadgets than martial arts.

That's retarded. Even if you weren't slapping Batman's name on this not-Batman character, why wouldn't your lower-middle-class orphan rely on martial arts over gadgets?

That's the symptom, not the problem. The problem is that the degenerate left has successfully seized gatekeeping positions. They are simultaneously dependent on and resentful of the old works because they are blasphemous against their ideology, but their ideology can only create ugliness to replace it.

This part at the start of Serenity is worth highlighting. The character makes a smartass retort because he wants to undermine the moment for his own self-interest, but the punchline is the escalation.

Gambling game everyone got addicted to because gambling good and FOTM power for people who don't actually play many video games.

It's a combo-focused roguelike, not a gambling game. It's based on poker mechanics, but the appeal comes from building Rube Goldberg machines that do ridiculous amounts of damage.

Surely, they can't be this retarded?

My yardstick for human stupidity is the time someone killed over two hundred people by lighting a cigarette while stealing petrol from a crashed tanker truck. So yes, they can be this retarded.

I got twenty seconds in, to where nutjob is admitting their delusion is going to get them all killed.

I'm not going to watch the rest of it, which I'm sure is everyone affirming nutjob and telling him he's a real girl.

It's not necessarily more efficient - a boolean is probably going to be padded to a full word, the same as the integer representing the various enum values.
