So not huge hopes for any future Halo games...
Um, yeah, about that...
Maybe they'll enforce needing to have surgery to qualify.
No chance, this distinction is the source of an ancient rift in the pits of the progressives and the trannies won. They came up with a derogatory term, 'truscum', to dismiss anyone who tries to define 'true' transgenderism on that (or any) basis.
In this one, apparently there is no dispute that they had sex, only whether or not it was consensual. A big deal has been made about the fact that she had bruising which some vaxxpeddler said was 'le worst bruising I ever seent' and also the fact that she reportedly had to have a tampon removed with forceps.
At the same time, the jury somehow accepted that the guy who fucked her just after McGregor did so consensually.
They also did not award any punitive or aggravated damages against McGregor.
“Aggravated damages or compensatory damages are for conduct which shocks the plaintiff,” the judge said. “Exemplary [or punitive] damages are damages for conduct which shocks the jury. That’s what you’re doing there.”
These were not awarded. The jury were so shocked and sickened they decided to make no example of this rich man at all. It sounds like a tepid, middling, contradictory verdict from a panel of cowards (8 women and 4 men, if I recall).
Oh, also the judge told the jury not to engage in 'victim-blaming' just before they went off to deliberations, queering the pitch still further.
I only own Hitman 2 (gifted) not 3, so I don't have a full grasp of what the content was, but apparently he was a limited time Elusive Target at some point in the past. Which surely means they could have just kept their mouths shut and never featured him again and it would amount to exactly the same thing, unless it also means deleting the content for those people who still have it. Maybe a Hitman 3 owner could clarify.
Further on the story.
For those who don't know about the rape case, some interesting facts:
-
it was tried in civil court and there will not be a criminal case, because the director of prosecutions says there is little chance of a conviction
-
McGregor was one of 2 men accused. The other was cleared. So apparently if you Believe All Women 50% of the time, there are no contradictions and no implications for the woman's general credibility.
-
this all comes off the back of McGregor emerging as a dissident political voice in Ireland, so I'm sure it's a very true and real accusation just like it was for Russell Brand and Julian Assange.
Writing was on the wall for Obsidian ideologically since POE2 at least. Josh Sawyer is all-in on progressive ideology too and keeps throwing his hat into the ring for woke twitter spats, but when I tried to refresh my memory just now all I got were dead unarchived URLs of scrubbed tweets, the weasel.
Reminds me of Posie Parker at her TERF rallies.
-indicating screeching trannifa- Look what these MEN are trying to do to our female spaces!
-Indicating UK cops standing grudgingly as a barrier between trannifa and TERFs- Why won't MEN in uniform do more to physically protect us!
Men are fucking sick of you feminists whining about men. Fix YOUR problem YOURSELF, male assistance shouldn't even start until all feminism is renounced.
Good breakdown. My favourite extra detail is where Cohen admitted on the stand to embezzling money from Trump while working in his capacity as Trump's lawyer. The guy whose testimony you're supposed to take as evidence that Trump's retainer payments were meant to go to Stormy Daniels is the guy whose responsibility it was to pass on that money, and yet in the same testimony he's stating that some of the money wasn't used as Trump directed, because he, Cohen, is a lying criminal who stole it. This was the star witness, pivotal testimony.
It was even a completely unambiguous admission of crime which was reported with no gloss by the liberal media, I suspect because they thought it was some kind of burn towards Trump, like 'hahaha DRUMPPPFF had his hush money stolen by his own lawyer, that's how much EVERYONE hates him! xD ' TDS got in the way of the realisation that in a sane world this admission should make the testimony as good as toilet paper.
You decide to continue reading WHO scaremongering...
It seems to be a desperate attempt to persuade people to inject failed mRNA technology products.
There are still some years of bulletins left...
Your AntiVaxxing has increased!
So, vaxxed then. Stop offering your opinion to real people as if it means something.
Having not read it, I don't know how accurate this factoid is, but there's also the suggestion that it's a barely disguised rape/subjugation fetish for horny women, who want to flick themselves off to a scenario from an erotica novel dressed up as feminist moralising.
Third that it accidentally lets the mask slip. They'd spitefully destroy the human species rather than accept that so called women's rights, by which they mean the power to live a parasitic existence free of responsibility, shouldn't exist.
I've noticed this tends to be true of any fiction set in a disaster scenario or near/post-apocalypse. Whenever there is a dire set of circumstances facing a set of characters, or even an entire species, if the solution to the scenario involves trampling women's rights - or even one female character's rights - then writers will immediately swing all narrative sympathy towards the oppressed woman rather than the group. If you are, as we say, 'based and also redpilled' then it's easy to see the seams and limits of feminist ideology, but normalfag simps and feminists are fundamentally incapable of writing from the perspective of men facing existential doom, when there is some crying pussy around.
Which is a distinction without a difference really. If all it takes to get a blank cheque to evade rules is use a direct link to a 3rd party site or filehost, and the text of your tweet spells out exactly what's under the link, then the rule is worthless.
This is one data point among a fairly strong body of evidence that Destiny is an empty man who posts for effect but doesn't actually believe anything he claims. Starve him of oxygen.
I stood briefly at our blue front door — the one I painted last year when I changed all the red in our house to blue.
Then I walked out the door — devastated but determined — into the blue of a new day.

uh, I know these people are impossible to parody any more, but did HuffPo just get Godfrey Elfwick'd? This seems a little too on the nose.
'At least my kids still speak to me', translation 'haha I'm part of the liberal establishment that brainwashed your child into castrating himself and hating you, guess I win.' Absolute scum.
Based on the filename I can guess exactly which NYC-related video this was and who might want it suppressed, too.
They couldn't get a trans actor to voice a trans person? Yet more trans genocide.
Just started the Etrian Odyssey franchise via the Steam HD versions (pirated). Pretty tough. Also it's a bit sad that sidequests are of so little worth. Completing the map is fun though.
Rediscovered Zachtronics solitaire collection for short blasts. Occasional Mahjong Soul for the same purpose. Got 13 orphans the other day. Matchmaking with chingchong ragequitters is still infuriating bullshit however.
Also got a run of Ys 9 on the back burner over several months. It's been very comfy gaming although not quite as excellent as 8. At least I anticipate a better ending than the one in Ys 8, because it would be hard to come up with worse.
I think it's a complete unknown. Kamala is such a disaster and Trump is so popular that this should be too big to possibly steal, but the reality is nobody knows what 'too big' is. Common sense and intuition say that it's become so much harder to steal than last time that surely this time it's in the bag for Trump - but common sense, divorced from the cheatmode of hindsight, also says that nobody should be able to blatantly coup the USA in broad daylight and have the whole world go along with it, which is factually what happened last time.
I don't think Trump's increased popularity or people being fed up with the Biden administration has much bearing on the nature of the steal. The kingmakers who run the election and its aftermath - the press, the shameless riggerniggers and their political handlers - will insert a vertical blue line that's almost 100% of the height of the entire red vote curve into the tally graphs if necessary, and if possible. Then they'll call it 'a vote update from a pro-Democrat district' like last time and people will swallow it like last time and do absolutely nothing again. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes much more difficult to track any such graphs in realtime, this time around.
Perhaps red voters will be (conveniently) provoked into altercations at polling sites by election workers, leading to restrictions, poll shutdowns and blocking of all recordings, leaving goons all the time in the world to pull infinite trolleys of ballots out from under tables or in from alleyways. There are infinite possibilities because there are infinite heights to their mendacity and arrogance. I don't know what will happen but I don't envy Americans this uncertainty. As a non-American, I'm insulated from some of the fallout and I'm promised unprecedented levels of drama either way.
Posted this before but an overlooked option is 'nigga-nigga-shii', meaning loathsome or unpleasant.

I enjoyed the soundtrack that Makeup and Vanity Set did for the game Brigador
I had a revival of interest in music (metal exclusively) just after the pandemic shenanigans but sad to say it's died off a bit, which might coincide with me feeling stressed and stuck in a rut lately. Still, even though I'm not feeling as inspired as I was, I remain impressed on a technical level by how much death metal bands have stepped up their playing beyond what I thought was possible. With drumming in particular, 10 years ago I feel like nobody was playing as fast and skilled as some of these guys are now.
Archspire - Drone Corpse aviator. Archspire and Vitriol (below) might be old news to some but they're new discoveries to me across the past year or so, as I caught up on things. Archspire have become a bit of a guilty pleasure, guilty because they're way more melodic than I'm normally comfortable with, but they camouflage it under the absurd drumming and vocals. Guess that's another way of saying this is as tuneful as these links will get. Without the drumming they wouldn't really be my thing but at the same time it's easy to fall into a trap of listening to nothing else, because they're so catchy.
Vitriol - Shame and its Afterbirth Still not quite up my alley, but pretty sick. I bought their latest album basically on the strength of this track alone. It turned out to be the best on the album, although the drummer pulls off some more impressive Archspire-tier stuff elsewhere compared to this track. Superb solo makes the song.
Origin - Heat Death Fiending for more single stroke snare rolls at this stage, I remembered John Longstreth. So I bought the last Origin album sight unseen, because why not. He's drumming better than ever too. Album was merely all right, great track though.
Nile - Stelae of Vultures Glimpsing at the thumbnails of a metal reviews youtuber revealed that a new Nile album's out. 20 years ago I used to love this band like nothing else, but IMO they changed a lot and lost me along the way - in fact there are several albums in the last decade I didn't even check. But I gave this album a shot and was once again blown away by a top tier drummer (George Kollias) somehow having gotten even better. This is the first track and I like it, but for some reason I haven't been able to get through the whole album yet without my attention wandering, could just be old age and a ruined attention span.
So my enthusiasm for music atm is more limited to being impressed by technical prowess, moreso than is characteristic for me anyway since I also swing the other direction and appreciate minimalistic black metal. I haven't found something I can really evangelise to the level of Absu's comeback album in 2021 which I still go back to practically weekly. I'd love another album from that lineup but won't hold my breath. On the black metal side, last thing that really reached me was Hate Forest - Innermost - I also caught up on that guy's non-Drudkh side projects including Windswept, under which he penned the very memorable title Disgusting Breed of Hagglers.
it seems she didn't understand the uniform comes with curtailing her freedoms as a citizen.
She made 25,000 tweets she wasn't arrested for, was free to be racist online, enjoyed the elevated profile of somebody photographed 'heroically confronting lockdown protesters' and was also apparently in repeated contact with a Syrian jihadi who had fled Europe. She was objectively more free than the average white British non-cop, for her entire career as a cop. The only reason she doesn't continue to enjoy those freedoms is likely due to the extra scrutiny she drew from going viral in photos. Interesting how the verdict doesn't mention her being in contact with a jihadi.
Just because of how everyone in politics sets similar examples and inspires others to do the same as she did but somehow not be held accountable.
She wasn't held accountable because she was a cop, it was because she criticised 'zionists'. You don't get away with this in British politics either, as proved by Labour's purge of the Corbynistas. All her case teaches to brown UK cops is 1) don't go above 1 racist tweet per day, 2) limit your vitriol to 'kuffars' and 3) don't be a camera hound.
I'm from outside the US but I started to get interested in baseball in recent years. All I know is that the Yankees are a huge team and that the Dodgers represent a cancerous city (LA) plus they wear a very faggy kit (edit: I remembered wrong, I was thinking of the Padres City Connect kit). In an attempt to avoid watching the most grievous BLM-kneelers and homo-worshippers, I picked (with my gut) the St. Louis Cardinals to follow this year, but in the end I didn't get much viewing done at all.
Baseball fans, what are the prospects for anyone hoping to watch and learn about pro baseball without being forced to swallow propaganda, and how much will likely feature in the World Series? For example I know with football (be it the US or euro kind) it's completely impossible.
I must have picked it up when you or someone else recced it before. The name switch bamboozled me a bit when I doublechecked it on the store, because it's already in my library under 'Free Stars'. Thanks for the reminder.
