Biden’s announcement comes in a statement opposing resolutions being brought to the floor this week by House Republicans to bring the emergency to an immediate end.
So, what's going to change between now and May 11th?
The police were quoted by the press, stating: ‘Cardiff has a long and proud tradition of recognising, celebrating and protecting equality and diversity.’
Moore was jailed in March 1999 after being convicted of four counts of rape of a boy aged under 16. He was also banned from having contact with children. However, in 2011, he was sentenced for breaching his sex offender’s order, after being caught working with children as a dance and gymnastics coach.
Causing childhood trauma = equality and diversity, it seems (and, actually, fits given how much they want to tell young kids they're evil just based on inherent characteristics these days)
Bethesda: not using an Id engine for Fallout 4. When I played Rage, the story was lackluster but the combat and gameplay was smooth, fun with fantastic visuals. Unless there was a hidden licensing reason, why not use THAT for Fallout 4, that seemed like the perfect engine .
Gonna disagree heavily on this one. In fact, if they had made that change it would just be playing into what I see as the real problem: Bethesda decided to stop making interesting (if janky) RPGs and instead make mediocre action games with increasingly stripped down RPG components. Morrowind to Oblivion to Skyrim does add a couple neat things to each step, but to get that the world, character progression systems, item systems, etc. get gutted on each progression. Fallout 3 to Fallout 4 to Fallout 76 does the exact same thing. Heck, even the fact that you're saying "FO4 should have been a better shooter game" points out the problem that Bethesda's games are ARPGs heavy on the A and super light on the RPG scale. And that's why I'm basically ignoring Starfield until a good 6 months or more after it is out because I'm willing to bet it will follow Skyrim and FO4 into "wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle" territory.
Granted, I wouldn't trust any food I randomly found in my mailbox.
But, if I were to try random food found in my mailbox, buttery pigs in a blanket with tomato sauce sounds like a pretty decent place to start.
Also,
Resident Nico Baigent told Stuff he’s been hit at least three times. “It is traumatic and I want this to stop. It’s been going on for far too long now,” he said.
Can we make this the new stair muffin? GamerGate stuck a sausage in my mailbox!
Don't forget Duncan Lemp either. Shot a week or so apart from Breonna Taylor, no media frenzy, no riots, and when his parents tried to protest they were told that due to the coof they would be arrested because it was too dangerous.
Being able to schedule downloads and standby is a nice feature. You don't need to dress it up in green bullshit.
Except MS explicitly made that worse in Win10, by automatically downloading and installing updates whenever it felt like, unless you set your connection to a metered one or put ridiculous active hours on your machine. Did Win11 actually revert it to what it was in older Windows versions, or was the Win11 update just a coat of paint?
I was told several years ago by Reliable Sources(tm) though that rocks thrown from the moon could already destroy the world!
Edit: Here's the link to Literally Who's insanity on this for people who forgot/don't know.
Ignoring the fact that there are many ways to help ensure the survival of society way more effective than taking increasingly large chunks of money out of people's paychecks, how does giving yet more money to some poor, inner-city single mom whose getting knocked up by her third or fourth boyfriend help society? It doesn't. It actively hurts hurts society. That's the systemic issue that needs to be addressed.
I agree with Imp on this point. If you want kids, you pay for them. If someone else doesn't want kids, why is that person expected to pay for yours?
And as it already, people are disproportionately paying for other people's kids, from paying into welfare systems (which are more heavily used by single parent families) and having to pay into school systems even if your kids don't go there (or, worse, getting double-billed by having to pay for the mediocre-at-best public schools plus private school tuition and/or homeschooling resources if you don't want your kids propagandized).
Under such a contract Crowder literally could not have reported on the CDC's own data when he did because he got struck for it.
Literally false. He could have reported on it, but he would have taken a revenue hit for the remainder of the year when the strike happened. As for why the penalty is there, it's simple economics?
According to Forbes, in September 2022 Daily Wire has about 600k subscribers on their site. Their youtube channel has 3 million subs. Shapiro's youtube channel has 5 million subs. Crowder's youtube channel has 6 million subs. I've no idea how many followers any of them have on Facebook, or anywhere else, but it's probably in the millions there as well. If the channel takes strikes, or worse yet gets taken down, the reach of and views on the videos dramatically decreases.
So what is a rational explanation for why the DW should keep paying Crowder the same amount of money if his videos views crater due to getting taken off platforms?
You can (I think legitimately) argue that the amount it is reduced is too much, but that's a separate conversation, one which Crowder apparently wasn't interested in having. He essentially seems to be saying that DW should fully subsidize new creators even if those creators are bringing in no money and essentially getting 0 views - it would be great if people could do that, but financial realities are a thing regardless of how much we might wish them not to be.
(Plus, it is just odd how Crowder says in the same breath "It's not about the money!" followed by "Why are you docking the money?")
Also, there's the simple fact that Crowder sat on this for two months, and had the domain registered for over a month before he called Jeremy for what seems like the express purpose of recording the phone call (which he says he's only done 2 other times in his life), and then releasing his first video. And he has the gall to title his latest video on it "I didn't want to do this...", which is just BS. It really seems like he planned this out in an attempt to cause maximum drama.
This should have been negotiated behind closed door.
Got to go with this now. When Crowder did his initial announcement I was concerned, but at this point with the additional information it's just become a mud-slinging competition.
Crowder could have just said no and dropped it. I'm fairly convinced he wanted the drama at this point.
It's not about being a solution to crime. It's about eliminating cash. Moving the financial systems to entirely digital makes it easier for governments to control, track and manipulate everyone's finances. Gollum is just using crime as a cover to keep going to that direction.
Mostly this. Technology has been taking over jobs forever, it's just now it's taking over the jobs of a group of highly narcissistic people who have the ability to shout at the whole world and a journalistic class who (due to shared politics) are willing to amplify their shouts. Up until now, a lot of the impact has been on the more manual/physical labor classes, and now it is getting into the "creative" people. And the creatives are suddenly finding out they're just as replaceable and no more special than the silly laborers and their mental world is collapsing.
I'd phrase it more pessimistically - 1/4 of congress is openly willing to say they support socialism, and an indeterminate amount of the rest may support it
