B movie doesn't necessarily mean bad. Games like Tron are clunky and unfun, not charmingly simple like Pacman or missile command. Even then, people are nostalgic for the arcade versions not the Atari versions.

People are nostalgic for the good shit from the 80s. Tron Deadly Discs was bad then and it's bad now.

People are nostalgic for Commando and Rambo, not the hundreds of flops.

Ready Player One is just dumb. I stopped reading when I was supposed to believe that kids who are in high tech VR were hanging out playing Tron: Deadly Discs on fookin Intellivision instead of, you know, good games from the era.

There's no such thing as an "informal" deferred prosecution agreement and he should have known that, or his idiot lawyers should have.

Verbal agreements don't hold water with no evidence to back it up.

Good luck with that. The Ethiopians don't exactly follow a liberal denomination. They only read bibles printed on lambs skin.

What an nuclear take this idiot had. Christ is king is not the antisemitic part of "Christ is King, you filthy jew" the "filthy jew" part is.

This is retarded.

I see that budget cuts haven't been a problem over there.

Is that guy still posting? His schizo posting during the early days of the war in Ukraine were pretty entertaining.

No it doesn't. Having the right to make a living doesn't mean you can violate others property rights any more than the absolute law of self defense gives you the right to murder someone.

That's a distinction without a difference. If I have the right to not be deprived of life without due process, I have the right to life.

You just said the same thing couched in new age bullshit.

They always trot out the idea that female muscle tissue is the same quality as male muscle tissue.

They hem and haw when you point out that the "quality" isn't the difference, it's the quantity. Pound for pound it's "the same" but men have significantly more of it.

In most cyberpunk settings the characters you are actually following have jail-broken implants. In 2077 if you pick the Corpo life path Arasaka actually shuts off all of your implants in the introduction of the game. Presumably the implants you're getting from ripperdocs have custom firmware.

You just completely ignored the idea of the right to life being the right to make a living and pursue what you want to do with your life to make some pedantic point about death.

Also the idea that you have the right to your own life and nobody has the right to take that from you without due process is a negative right.

Yeah, that's not how this concept works either. A right being limited doesn't make it not a right.

That's some pedantic bullshit I expect to hear out of some idiot lefty. They pull that shit with the 2A all the time. Do not validate their nonsense.

Your rights being violated doesn't magically make them go away. Otherwise the very concept of rights go away.

"Right of life" means right to make a living. You have every right to do what you need to to survive.

Let's just assume they do, why would you rather have the Chinese manipulate you, as if they're any better?

They can't be gone after, because they technically don't actually keep anyone from running legally, they just pick which candidate they endorse.

So Trump thanking Republicans in New York and telling them they're going to make "a heavy play" means he's going to lose because he's going to ignore battleground states?

Have you ever read a Trump statement in good faith, or is your TDS flaring up? Because that's quite the fuckin leap. What, you expect him to tell his donors in the state that they're destined to lose and not to donate?

Buddy, the report is that Kushner texts and calls his father in law to "offer advice" who fuckin cares.

Also, it's not a straw man, it's hyperbole.
