Don't forget, we're all loyal Antifa supersoldiers too! Many such cases! /s

I wish it hadn't come to this point. Like, I daydream about all these shitty nazis going down swiftly in one way or another. So I might get to live my life in peace in the near future, instead of having to wait til I'm old for fascism to recede again (if I even survive, being a trans woman). But something actually happening has tons of complications attached. I don't want fucko's death to lead to some crackdown, or more right-wingers committing shootings (when they already have the near monopoly on shootings, and for all we know Kirk's killer might've been one too) or galvanizing of MAGA shit. And by galvanizing, I mean people who were like "This isn't what I voted for!" and suffering, suddenly popping back into full cult mode.

But of course, at the same time, I know it doesn't matter. Regardless of what happened, they'd find an excuse to do a crackdown, or have trump mumble some shit to rile up the cult. Or they'd just do some more fashy shit with no prior justification anyway if they never got an inciting incident to fill the excuse role.

I guess I just want all this to resolve with minimal deaths, for the regime to topple and the members and the media/influencers who helped get us here to be tried and convicted, and other ones like the supreme court getting impeached so there's tons of precedent being set to avoid this happening again in 80-100 more years. But it definitely won't stay minimal or involve court rulings if we start getting more and more shootings of specific targets and if we start seeing retaliation following said assassinations.

Though when right-wingers assassinated those Minnesota democrats some months back, or when Pelosi's husband got beaten nearly to death in his own home, Kirk and Trump, and other figureheads, as well as a flood of nobody right-wingers on social media who are all now up in arms and angry about Kirk's death, just got smug and cheered and jeered about it. So, thoughts and prayers for dickhead and the family he leaves behind, and I guess we just wait and see what comes next in this little circus of bullshit.

The DRM is optional for use by the devs. Rimworld is one game I know doesn't use it, you can just zip the entire thing up and put it somewhere else and it'll run fine. It's still a launcher. But the only better alternative to a launcher is plain installers to download and hold onto like GOG provides as an alternative to its Galaxy launcher.

What they neglected to explain was that Cyberpunk Red is the fourth, and latest, edition of the Cyberpunk tabletop RPG on which Cyberpunk 2077's world and game mechanics are based. This document they included in the game files is a rule book for that.

I mind it. In isolation it would be fine, but with their ignorance, these types punish and harm their families, mainly their children, who would otherwise just grow up to cut contact with them anyway, long as they didn't end up sharing their views. Plus when it's disease, they just have to walk near a person who isn't another conservative to spread it. As we learned from covid, the best person to be wearing the mask is the sick one, and they don't play along.

An abusive partner accusing the other of cheating is very often a projection of the fact they themselves had been cheating. Since they know they would cheat, and were/are, they either assume the other person is the same way, or simply don't want to draw attention to their affair. It's an awful thing.

A person understands the reason they're eating only plants with no animal byproducts. An animal doesn't. An animal is just confused and irritated that their food was changed for the worse by their owner. If their diet and mountain of supplement pills/powders did not actually meet their dietary needs because it wasn't an exact match for their regular food or natural prey, they would still end up malnourished. And not every cat's dietary needs are the same or stay the same as they age.

Malnourished or not, you also wouldn't be able to stop your cat from finding a mouse or insect which snuck into your home and devouring them to enhance their compromised diet. You cannot make a carnivore vegan, you can only abuse them into living in a way they do not naturally live and do not want to live, until they find a way to avoid you for just long enough to go against your wishes and savage another animal, as is their instinctive nature.

Furthermore, do you really think animals have no joy in what they eat, that that's only a human quality? Nutrition doesn't matter to the animal, they just want to eat what they want to eat. Cats almost never turn down an offer of cream or milk despite 90% or more of them being lactose intolerant. It's not nutrients their body needs or can absorb, and actively makes them feel ill. But they want it anyway because it's tasty and they aren't able to consider the consequences of their actions as far in advance as humans can.

Edit: In fact, going off that same point but for humans, you could probably make a human live off some kind of tasteless nutrient bar that gives everything you could need, but it wouldn't mean they'd enjoy it. Oh wait, we did do that before, as a cruel punishment for prisoners in the US, fucking nutraloaf!

No, it actually is The Onion. It's a Clickhole article. Clickhole is a side website The Onion runs.

Cheaper development budgets, no room for QA, rushed out the door; still sold for 70 bucks.
