They genuinely think they're not being political. They're just "being good people."

In general, if you're relying on static initialization to run at a specific time or in a specific order, you've probably done something horribly wrong in your architecture.

I'll work with anybody to do good, and will work with nobody to do evil.

I like RFK Jr. even if he's a boomer normie on a lot of topics.

So it's basically the same as nearly every other social media site? Gotcha.

They don't have logic, they have only goals, and will say or do whatever they think will help toward those goals.

Oh they exist.

And they're usually a tool to show how evil a bad controlling male character is.

There are also soft spoken and submissive male characters.

And they're usually a tool for the awesome girl boss to beat up on to show how awesome she is. Or in rare instances, to show character growth into something more confident/competent.

Sure, but you wouldn't know for certain from the promo materials. The pictures I saw of her could have been very easily confused with a 15 year old boy.

Actually, sounds like it's served a useful function as a provider of warnings.

Oh hey, I played that. I'd played some other IntiCreates games that were fine so I gave it a shot.

Thought it was a Metroidvania (it wasn't, really) with a gothic style (wasn't really). The main thing I remember other than the final boss fight being semi-lewd is that after you've found all of the female classmates to rescue, you have to go back through and find their panties.

At the time I was thinking, "I'd rather be hunting for missile expansions or something, but really it's more about the hunt anyway so if it's panties I'm hunting for, so be it."

So is this some sort of blood libel, or does that not count when it's white people who are victims of it? No you say? Alright.

I'm not terribly worried about Antifa making it to my neighborhood. I'm more worried about one of the random danger-haired high school randos that regularly walk by my house.

That's exactly what it's like.

Get outside of Seattle or Spokane and you'll see nothing but Trump signs.

In my neck of the woods in the Seattle exurbs, there are zero signs for any candidates. I regularly drive through a good 15ish miles of residential arterials.

None. None in yards, no flags, no nothing.

It's honestly kind of eerie. I'm tempted to put up some Trump signs but I don't want my house vandalized. I did put up a U.S. flag a couple weeks ago which I figure will piss off the right people without explicitly putting a target on myself.

You completely dodged (or missed) the point. It was very clear. This response, IMO, can only be explained by either ideological blindness or actual bad-faith behavior.

Since I don't think you're a bad-faith actor, that just reinforces my opinion of your ideological blindness on this topic.

This isn't all that different than the Watergate scandal, which was the worst political scandal in history (except for all of the other things that Republicans did, which are all also the worst political scandal in history) if you ask Democrats.

Defending yourself is for poor people.

Unless you are a white person defending yourself from an oppressed brown person. Then you will go to jail, or at least be subject to the full force of the legal system.

Only if it's a white/white or brown/brown confrontation, then it might be ignored by the state and the media because it's not useful politically.

Yeah, I went through it a couple years ago and it had the usual ham fisted "men bad, white man bad, racism bad, humans bad" stuff that you'd expect from progressives. I'd estimate maybe 10-20% of the episodes ran along those lines.

The rest was fairly entertaining as far as low budget sci fi goes.

Are you a Hezbollah false flag? Because you come across as someone who is intentionally trying to make Jews and their supporters look like fucking retards.

I'm not going to go dig it up, but no, it was a different one. Some guy just murdered by an islamist outside of his own home because he was wearing his uniform.

Israel attacked legitimate military targets

That's exactly what Hezbollah says about their targets, too.

Driver's licenses keep the worst drivers off the road in the same way that gun laws keep guns out of the hands of the worst criminals.

That and fuel taxes.

Yeah, from the first 30 seconds or so I watched -- that looked like the ugliest cast I've ever seen.

Is that what Vance did, or is this just a red herring to distract from a constructive discussion?

If it is what he did, why not just say it instead of starting an evasive, combative argument?

I don't even necessarily have a problem with him marrying a non-Catholic. Just curious what your angle is here.

Drivers' licenses don't keep bad drivers off the road. And they don't keep unlicensed drivers off the road.
