Well, tell them, then.
That’s a basic admissibility criteria, you are not allowed to just dump a pile of evidence onto the judge’s lap, you have to make a case for each item as to why they’re relevant to the case.
That said, the idea that the president acting in an official capacity wouldn’t be prosecutable for his behaviour is a scary thought in its own right.
A non-transferable one, at that.
This isn’t like, basic necessities food. This fast food.
The cost is the manpower and prep involved in being able to deliver food, fast.
The deals are there to make you check the rest of the website and be acquainted with their products, in exchange you get a price reduction.
There is no ripping off, you’re just not doing an additional bit of trading. If you don’t want food at the price Domino’s offers nobody says you must purchase from them.
Soon to rebrand from “game” to “merch”
Ikr, I live in the Netherlands and not only do i not wear a helmet myself but I’ve seen dutch people ride with no hands, holding an umbrella and a phone, with bikebags full of groceries, in the rain, without a helmet.
That shit is close to a circus act, istg.
Realistically? The way newspapers were, you have a profit driven business where the client is the reader. Buy the paper, read the articles.
The reality is that that is never gonna happen again; the free alternatives are exactly as shit as the paid ones, so why would I waste my money?
Journalism had devolved into sensationalism made to drive sales to foster ad buys already well before social media and the web made this exponentially worse, at this point, follow the scant few journalists who don’t suck and go from there.
Best thing about this is that everyone will think I’m talking about any amount of pundits depending on their and my political alignment, and that makes it funnier to me.
I use names off the list of 22 fallen angels from the Book of Enoch.
It’s a really interesting piece of hebrew apocrypha that details the circumstances leading to the flood. Feels much more high fantasy/pagan myth than the modern bible/torah.
The best thing is he apparently actually didn’t get the fish sticks joke which, if true, makes Parker and Stone the best satirists of all time on merits.
The problem with that stance is that you can’t refuse service based on protected characteristics, and afaik that includes access to a space, hence why the “gentlemen’s club” died but the country club did not.
I’m all for reintroducing these practices since the people clamouring for them are also going to be the ones fucked over in the end, but I am also white (by American standards anyway) and male, so there’s basically no downside for me.
It would be a monkey paw levels of funny to reintroduce the legal ability to self segregate as a means to “protect” women and minorities, only to see a complete shitshow as women executives are cut out of meetings taking place at men only spaces, and black people are even more segregated out, etc.
Obviously, it would be horrendous for the average sane person who doesn’t want any of this, but it would make for a really funny few years for the more brainrotted among us.
What the fuck are you talking about? These two things aren’t even remotely alike.
Yeah, pain is more tangible and actually experienced, whereas what society actually looks like is 99% vibes and personal biases.
So this applies even more to sociology than to painkillers.
First, shitting on folks who are new to left politics and (god forbid) harbor excitement for these new insights. At least we have folks leaving comments like this to grind that eagerness out of them.
Christ on a pike, “enthusiastic about politics” is probably the worst thing you could ever be, it only leads to pie in the sky idiocy and utopianism.
Yes, please let’s grind that down as fast as possible, politics is a pragmatic exercise like doing groceries and taking a shit, you shouldn’t be excited about it. The only people excited by politics are fanatics and zealots and we could do with a lot fewer of those on all sides right now.
Then, it failed a narrow expectation you fully put on it. Maybe it was using an a medium to express an idea in a novel way. What a concept. Let’s call it Art. It can be something other than homework.
Yeah, God forbid I use my experience of the medium to judge a piece of art.
All this is, is a more biased, more cut down version of games like Papers, please, Not for Bradcast, or The Westport Independent, that doesn’t even use its gameplay loop to really give any direct experience of the issue it’s trying to showcase.
Having played it until I got bored of it, the only feeling reinforced through the gameplay is “boy i wish I could read faster”.
It doesn’t even leverage the idea that you need to send newspapers to print, allowing you to plan your front page to build a more coherent narrative, you literally just need to constantly swap articles in and out of the paper as if people’s copies would change in real time. It doesn’t account for the appearance of bias or conflicting interests between the parties you want to keep happy. It lacks nuance and a proper understanding of how to evoke what feeling through gameplay.
So, yeah, I think it’s banal and aggressively poorly thought out, not even mediocre but genuinely bad. Are you going to argue otherwise or are you just gonna say I’m being too harsh or unfair?
And before you highlight that this is free, so is The Westport Independent, and it’s been out for almost 10 years (god I feel old).
But essentially saying “I’m above the target audience and it’s pointless”…cool, share something you made
LOL I’m not about to dox myself to prove a stranger wrong, if you want to feel like you have successfully defended your point because you want to think I couldn’t have pulled this crap off, feel free to do so.
My criticism stands on its own regardless of my own output or even of myself as a source for it.
if you want something on media , censorship, spin, ect? I’d say Not for Broadcast is pretty good.
Everyone consumes whatever they agree with with less critical thinking, it’s an absolutely normal bias to have and nobody is immune.
That’s why when you hear someone say “I do my own research” you don’t think “this person must be highly educated” but rather “this person listens to ‘alternative’ media.”
Just because you consume a different kind of propaganda, doesn’t make you wiser, it makes you have a different set of biases.
This feels very “just found out about politics and damn” tbh.
The game isn’t really teaching anything of note beyond “private entities have their own interests,” which anyone who would even find this compelling already knows.
Yeah I’m not eager to go from sending my floorplan to zuck to sending it to the CCP, lol.
This guy capitalists.
