Yes, but they do that only when they want you to vote. Imagine making it compulsory to vote, and then also suppressing your ability to vote… Then the fine is just a new tax and you still don’t get to vote.

A wizard is not too wise, but very wise.

Thanks, that one was strangard.

Before that was the warring period. So effectively no.

It takes more guts than brains to comment this in a post about voter suppression.

Think you can push it a bit more and blame the people who are currently in Trump’s concentration camps or deported for not voting this election?

“I did have affairs, one with a Russian bridge player who met me at bridge events, and one with a Russian nuclear physicist who I met through business activities,” he said.

Sounds like actual adults.

No, you would not

Just the end of the syllable because you can’t end a syllable with a consonant. For t/d, the vowel used “by default” is o. If they wanted to say gold, they’d write gorudo. Geldman is gerudoman (because n is the only consonant that exists as a standalone).

Easy: unjust, unfair, dumb.

Nazis easily pretend to be the nice people following the rules and if you get angry you’re the bad one. Don’t be nice to Nazis. Yell at them, insult them, punch them. Enforcing laws to protect oppressors is nothing more than protecting oppressors. “The only legitimate violence is state violence” and all that propaganda.

The Nazis are the ones breaking the “be nice” rule in the first place, they just do it while speaking nicely, they talk about enforcing rules and protecting order, but somehow they always dodge the question of how many people their order is killing. That’s not being nice. The rule is only there to forbid you for fighting back.

If you think that the “be nice” rule should punish calls to take down Israel or contest german support for the genocide, but not punish that same support for the genocide because it’s nice and polite… You’re just protecting the genocide. It doesn’t matter if anti-genocide comments are not nice enough for you - they shouldn’t have to be nice. Especially not when the German government literally makes it illegal to denounce Israel, even nicely.

A “be nice” rule is bad when there’s another rule that says it’s illegal to denounce genocide.

Again, only because you are picking a very reductive surface level quote.

“People are lying to you, believe us” isn’t culty. You are also twisting words, because “we alone tell you the truth” is not part of the discourse you are comparing to QAnon.

You are reducing both sides to an extreme and extracting a single quote from both of them - “corporate media is lying to you to protect politicians preying on children” . You understand that one side is right and the other isn’t - where do you think the difference appears? Certainly not at the extreme surface level of a single quote you are picking.

All sides in WW2 were killing people, I literally can’t tell the difference!

She did vote against an amendment that would have cut funds for the iron dome a while back. It was among some 2 part chess amendment or something, there was another vote about a different package related to that, but it made no sense to vote against that besides claiming “it’s a defense fund, totally different, surely it won’t be used as part of the genocide”.

I’m not taking that to claim she’s pro Israel or pro genocide, but it was irritating at the time.

Also, generally speaking, remember to take what politicians claim as separate from what they actually vote for. Don’t take their public statements as evidence.

Are the FF7 remakes really considered that bad?

They’re really not, but different people have different tastes. And the fact that’s it’s broken up and is taking about 15 years to finish pissed off a bunch of the general public.

and figured I would try the 7 remake when they finished which it looks like they never will.

It’s not announced yet but it’s almost guaranteed to come out next year.

Apparently this is coming from a Politico interview on feb. 13 in the Munich conference where she said “just weaken their economy, because they do have support in rural areas, make them feel the pain as well” (I’m only finding videos on Facebook and Instagram for the moment) and she was saying this in the context of stopping military actions, so there’s some twisting of words going on.

France has been doing that for LFI for a few years, with Macron pushing Le Pen. Right wing media (most of them) have religiously followed suit, calling them radicals and extremists.

No but they are getting scared of North Korea and a bit of China and they are talking about expanding their defensive military to be less defensive and they’re learning that the US is a useless ally for that.

So yes they’re voting full far right now.

Canadians and Americans are wrong and it pollutes the discourse because it pretends that there’s nothing other than liberalism on the left. Not sure about Canada because there’s actually more than 2 parties, but the US Democratic party is not even left of center, it’s left of far right, but using the term liberal masks that and pretends they’re left. Doesn’t Canada’s “actually left from center” party still have a hard time getting recognized as a real alternative? Do they call that party liberal or do they distinguish it from that other “slightly more left than the conservatives” party?

Piracy is usually free yeah but that really doesn’t count.

You are talking about the business extension that was already available everywhere, but it requires buying it. I haven’t looked into it but I haven’t seen anything saying it was free. The article is talking about Germany and the free version that Europe forced Microsoft to enable for everyone, even without a subscription - but only in Europe. That one is only one year.

Pretty sure everybody was warning the Democrats about ICE when Biden was up, and all they did was… give them more power. They knew when they had the ability to curb it down.

They’re also still voting to give them more money.
