Honestly yea. People who can't read don't deserve to have good things dumbed down to their level
It wasn't quite as obvious when it was his debut novel. If you basically wanted a slightly-different take on Starship Troopers you got it.
I don't think anyone expects Steam wouldn't cave. I think the expectation is that attacking Gamers' hobby / platform like this for such a stupid reason is guaranteed to make them notice things they'd otherwise not notice.
TV/Film Actors & actresses don't have the kind of cachet that they used to have. The media landscape is a lot broader now, and there's way less illusions about what they are really like.
Also the Leftist obsession with repesentation and uglification puts them a step behind
The people themselves are annoying but the problem is much more with the media representation and the GoodPeople:tm: that are constantly searching for a way to acquire GoodPerson:tm: points by injecting this degenerate shit into media.
IMO it should literally be illegal in media to portray a tranny (or cast one) in any media not rated R. No childrens shows EVER. And I'd completely ban them on broadcast TV too. You can have one in Silence of the Lambs you want or whatever.
The second prong should be actively persecuting organizations that promote LGBT, distribute hormones, medical distributors and doctors that participate in the butchery for $$$. They need to be completely bankrupted, sued out of existence, doctors who do this need prison time and/or execution.
There is no reason to think that the Left will concede any ground unless they are made to. They're true believers. The only way to beat them is to crush them utterly and strip them of power.
In Vidya you'll see this happen if HR departments start laying themselves off, when the Pedopride flags stop appearing (everywhere), and you have no idea about the GameDevelopers' opinions because they aren't posting on social media.
And that's only going to happen if they keep losing money, and alternative non-Pozzed games are kicking their asses.
Yeah. This is obvious. Voting requires minimal effort, particularly with mail-in / early votes. Doesn't even take 5 minutes to fill out the bubble for Trump. If you can't be bothered to spend 5 minutes to have a tiny chance of gaining a big cultural/political victory, your opinion is shite.
Sure, acknowledge that. At the same time:
- Taking pictures now is trivial in cost
- Data storage is now trivial in cost
Obviously there are other security & software engineering concerns. But objecting to the basic ask here not justifiable when every single poll worker has a cell phone camera in their pocket.
It's kind of absurd anyway to object to the cost given the billions / trillions at stake in US Federal elections. There are more sophisticated security systems on stupid game microtransactions than on the election, not sure what calculus figures that voting is worse less security than horse armor.
Plus in reality such a system probably saves a shit ton in litigation and fraud.
Additionally there's zero reason why every ballot should not be photographed, recorded, and independently auditable to anyone.
He was salvaging parts to construct an Iron Man suit to save his dying grandmother you BIGOT!
Women getting into CRPGs ruined the genre because they wanted to turn them all into fuck-simulators.
Even if we ignore that White supremacists basically don't exist by any reasonable definition -- The fact is that there legitimately are African/Black supremacists, Jewish supremacists, Asian supremacists, Hispanic/Latinwhatever supremacists who are 100% real and yet not at all pariahs in polite society. More often than not, they're treated like heroes.
I'm not sure why I should uniquely hate such "Supremacists" only when it's White people expressing their in-group preference.
The point here is that the Publishing industry people (who do know your real name because they need to put it on their taxes & your paycheck) are the ones who are kicking out straight/White/male authors. Because the publishing industry is run by talentless bitter hags, POX and fags.
The only thing stopping this from happening right now is that the LLM tools basically don't have the memory capacity to keep continuity in a large scale. You can get a few pages out of the thing then it tends to start confusing elements.
But if you were writing a book and you outlined 50 chapters/scenes of ~5-10 pages each, you can easily keep the thing on-track for for duration of the scene and then end the chapter.
Voila, book.
Book publishing has been a loss-leader for influence peddling for a long time. The whole industry is basically a money-laundering operation so that Regime-approved lackeys can get bribes (e.g. Comey, Vindman, etc) disguised as paychecks for books.
This is most obvious in nonfiction but it applies to fiction too.
This is what we call mens rea
I was actually considering picking this one up. Glad OP saved me from supporting this.
IME forum software in 2024 sucks. You have a choice between either old software like phpBB, vBulletin, SMF with a ton of vulnerabilities that you have to constantly maintain against an endless horde of botspammers, or you can use a 'modern' forum like "Discourse" with a phone-centric UI that is basically-unusable for actual humans.
It's really hard to avoid. Even 40k can't seem to stop putting STRONG BOSS WOMYN into a setting that is 100% about ETERNAL WAR.
Nah. It's being done to imprison British people and free violent savages.
It'll be over when home security commercials show black guys breaking into a home instead of white guys.
It's kind of true in the sense that White women are essentially the ones holding back White men from fixing things
20 million is underselling it.
From what I can tell the people most interested in pursuing the war (e.g. Zelensky, Nuland, etc) there are not Ukrainians
