Seems suspect. Announcing in May, says it will be released in June , and then a few days later "oh, 3 hard drives died and I have no backups"...

If something comes of it, and it is faithful and well done may be worth a look but seems more like a publicity stunt to me.

I dunno. Sounds nice on the surface, but Isn't that how you get super mutants? I don't want to turn them into super mutants.

Cause the ACLU is basically dedicated to destroying anything to do with "the patriarchy", "white supremacy", "the alt-right" and pretty much every other buzzword.

So, judging from the text, Gotham is full of evil transphobes thus justifying having a weapon.

And yet, despite all the transphobes around, the decision is made to have the tranny flag on said weapon not once but twice?

Chris Avellone is the perfect example of what happened. Massive resume with a ton of good titles on it, but a bit of an awkward guy IRL so he gets a bunch of #MeToo allegations thrown at him and is basically blacklisted. (Edit - and a lot of people who had worked with him for years just blindly believed the #metoos) Hopefully the libel lawsuit comes out as a win for him, but it was filed in CA so I'm doubtful.

Hours after Gazprom PJSC cut off flows to Poland and Bulgaria for failure to accede to the new terms, Bloomberg reported that four European buyers have already paid in rubles and 10 have opened the accounts at Gazprombank needed to meet the new rules.

Yep, going great. And this is going into the summer. If this is still going on in 4-6 months or so, it will literally be "pay in rubles or people freeze to death"

He should wait a few days or a month. Give time for Elon to shake things up inside.

He should wait until Elon is actually in charge. Board approved the sale, but now shareholders need to vote, and then Elon actually needs to take over.

And if they think about it, if it wasn't for Twitter and the "hot takes", then GG would probably never have happened.

This is very relevant. Every month, I watch 6% of my paycheck disappear to the government, and my employer pays that 6% again. That is money I can do nothing with, and see not one cent of, until the government decides it's OK - and at the rate things are going in a few decades when I would qualify for getting Social Security, there's probably going to be nothing left (or, money printer go BRRRRRR making what is left worthless).

If I could pull all the money I've contributed (and will contribute) out of social security and stick it in a 401k, with the provision that I'll never collect a cent from it, I would sign that document right now. I'd prefer just pull it into my bank account but at least a 401k would give me limited control over it, and I would know how much there is and where it is.

As some people have said "authenticating all humans." is a bit worrying, depending on what is done with it (and if it is essentially used for government/corporate doxxing), but since I don't use Twitter and have no plans to start, it's popcorn time!

Stopped after the second sentence.

I’d covered abortion for several years, and some of the tactics being used by organized transphobes—noisy “protests” outside clinics, or doxing and harassing doctors—were similar enough to the “pro-life” movement’s that I expected some groups were working together.

Take 5 minutes to look at what the pro-abortion crowd does and then look in a mirror.

They promised to stop! (By like 2030 or something) Obama said so, and it's in the Paris Climate Accords! Stupid DRUMPF backing out of that treaty that was never approved by the Senate. Thank the great queer one Biden put us back into it (again, without approval by the Senate). I'm sure the Chinese will follow through on their promise now.

Remember Chris Hanson and that show to catch a predator?

Freedom Toons did a video covering exactly that a week ago.

and it's common practice for schools to get software for free so he didn't do anything wrong.

It's not? Schools still have to purchase licenses, and in fact if they don't purchase the licenses then they run the risk of getting sued after being audited. Maybe educational licensing is cheaper than commercial licensing (I haven't checked, but I assume it may well be), but it is not free. (In fact, at my school, I've been denied use of software I wanted to use on several occasions since it was deemed "too expensive")

we're prescribing kids hormones or making other medical choices for kids

You literally are doing that. The smiley and the "at least not yet" makes it clear that mod included wants to do that, but it is literally already happening in some places.

Also, browsing that sub, they are, once again, clearly groomers. Take this post - "student doesn't fit in my box of what girls should be? How should I make her trans" And one of the responses:

its nearly summer, have you thought about arranging a summer trip with just you two to help explore yourselves?

OK, groomers

Concedes Russia could win war? I'm fairly certain Putin has already achieved a good part of his main objectives.

His troops have secured a solid land route to Crimea.

He's seen that, for the most part, the Western leaders are a bunch of pansies.

If, as many people have speculated, the next BRICS meeting in June ends up with a counter to SWIFT (which they've already been working on), Russia will pretty much be better off economically than it was before the invasion.

From my perspective, the only thing left for Putin to achieve is to get a peace treaty with Ukraine saying "accept current borders (or, maybe, trade back the territory Russia captured up near Kharkiv in exchange for the rest of Donetsk and Luhansk), don't join NATO".

What else is there for Putin to do? Conquer all of Ukraine? I mean, maybe, but I don't see any benefit to that.

Disagree. Darwin would be the dad dying, especially before having kids. Kid did nothing wrong here outside of "being born to the wrong parents", which he had no control over

Would be better if they had never done it, but good that some of them are backing off.

Well, it takes effect in Summer 2023 so we got a year. But, hopefully if it triggers Disney's stock to keep dropping it may wake some of them up.
