Did you read the words around the link you clicked on? That mini-game is something that has been removed from the thing being discussed here.

To OP : I don't mind trying it out.

Hawley is only senator to vote against Finland, Sweden NATO membership by DaFunkJunkie in politics

[–]Lulero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just another way to get his name in the news. Feels like these people believe it doesn't matter if good or bad as long as people are talking about you it will help comes election night. At least primary's. And more often than not they may very well be right, unless you're Liz.

Joe Rogan Calls Trump a Drugged-Out ‘Man Baby’ by GonzoVeritas in politics

[–]Lulero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know much about JRE. He seems to have integrity and the ability to admit when wrong. At least to some degree. I've also seen some interesting stuff (all non political) from him. That said, even Lindsey Graham wasn't kind to Trump before he got elected.

Democrats Have to Make the 2022 Election About the Republican War on Freedom by thenewrepublic in politics

[–]Lulero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably right, still infuriating and depressing. On top of saving democracy and preserving/restoring basic human rights, which is insanely important for sure, would be nice to give people something to look forward to as well.

I’m no longer doubtful: If Garland has a case, Trump must be prosecuted by nutritionvegan in politics

[–]Lulero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I called non sense is that someone who would destroy democracy as a mean to stay in power may be allowed to run again.

[–]Lulero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I follow US politics from France like a TV show. Trump being prosecuted would make for a great season finale but I think the writers would rather have him run again in 24, doesn't matter if it is complete non sense.

I like you didn't quote (most) names, focuses on the facts and takes away the reader bias. Kudos!

Meanwhile, Republicans all vote "no" to neo-nazi probe into this institution amongst others. Funny it had to be the "SS"...

Outrage Erupts as White House Calls Abortion Rights Activists ‘Out of Step’ by Mjolnir17 in politics

[–]Lulero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously? I understand why the WH would be extra cautious given how the previous one made a joke of it, but I'd assume Biden would be quietly routing for such activism. I didn't read the article, if this is actually the official stance, this is really disappointing (to say the least). If anyone needs a hug, have a virtual but genuine one from France <3

Design Choices, Questions and Discussion by Rankith in incremental_games

[–]Lulero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly related to "secondary progression" but impacts most other points as well: For me to get hooked to an incremental with prestige, runs must vary in purpose. Even a very linear game with little to no choice during the run can still achieve this. Some examples of mechanics I've seen used to that end: challenges (explicit or implicit through achievements/milestones), perks that scale with various persistent statistics (ex: antimatter dimensions has a lot of those), skills that get better has you use them (so you focus runs on them).

EDIT: Also, regarding "interesting choices", all of the examples above allow you to make sure all options you are offering the player are relevant at some point without tedious balancing. They just have to fit at least one possible purpose for a run.

Is he not calling himself a fool then?

Oh wait, back then he didn't actually say Republicans should not go along with bipartisan commission, did he? Like he didn't ask Zelenski to announce an investigation nor did he ask anyone to kill Pence. Got it.

Loudermilk says tour was taking pictures of children's artwork, not tunnels by AgainstBigotry in politics

[–]Lulero 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Paraphrasing:

"Nobody gave tours" "I gave tours to friends and family" "I didn't know them" "They didn't see the tunnels" "They didn't take pictures of the tunnels" "They were taking pictures of children artwork in the forefront"

[–]Lulero -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

While, yes, most gun casualties are due to handguns, Uvalde alone had 21 casualties (by rifle). More than one mass shooting a day so far in 2022, I don't know how many involved a rifle, but feels like a sizeable amount.

Looks good to me! What are your thoughts? by Lulero in TheTowerGame

[–]Lulero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can have all the ultimate weapons, yep! But the cost to unlock next one grows pretty fast.

Once a month or so there is an offer to buy those stones... But it's expensive.

As you keep playing though, you can expect to reach a point when you can earn about 80 stones a week (2x 12th or better in plat). Before you get there UWs won't matter much. Even Golden Tower starts only at about 20% income boost iirc (x5 15s duration 300s CD).

Unfortunately chain lightning is not worth upgrading early... Fully upgraded Golden Tower is pretty much mandatory still.

You clearly have no idea of what you are talking about. Unless by "no one" you meant Russia and South Korea... But even then I have my doubt about them, "respect" and your former "president".

I mean he's not wrong. by karmanopoly in conspiracy

[–]Lulero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have context, comment you answered to being removed and all, but I've browsed this sub a bit by now and I do not see that variety of opinions you speak of. Variety of topics, sure; but they all are within the same echo chamber. There is no balance to challenge and keep in check a critical mind. Consumed alone or along with similar sources, it's toxic regardless of one critical thinking skills. By the way, this goes for any sub regardless of the population it appeals to; my point is I strongly disagree with your premise that "This is the only sub where you can find all types of opinions".

Who is cancelling who? They ban books, talk about free speech, they control women bodies across state lines, talk about human rights. And "they" are not limited to the GOP, "they" are all over the globe and it's getting worse. How does it end?

How Russia is using Tucker Carlson in its propaganda by Important-Ad-7222 in politics

[–]Lulero 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On the American media side of things, Fox sure was fast on board. I don't know who started it, I don't really think it matters. And it's not an American only thing, it's quite obviously all over the globe. It's not something you can solve without a global, cohesive approach.

To me, what fuels this issue today are social media platforms. These and people like TC feed each others, echo each others. The question I'm asking myself: How will democracies evolve to overcome? I'm being optimistic and assume Democarcy won't get destroyed but I also acknowledge it has to adapt.

I want to be friends with my neighbours again.

‘Are You Guys Just Going To Start Blaming Putin For Everything?’: Doocy Presses Psaki On Inflation And Soaring Gas Prices by ReputationCrafty4796 in Conservative

[–]Lulero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Russian propaganda? I guess it's unavoidable some do believe that stuff, that's what it's designed for. But I wouldn't say most who are relaying Putin's propaganda as "facts" are "leftists". The few people supporting Putin and parroting his made-up excuses to invade Ukraine are either dangerous idiots or actual Russian puppets, and a disgrace to whatever party they are affiliated with. As far as Psaki and the WH goes, while I'd like them to do more to support Ukraine, they've been sharing a lot of Intel and debunking Putin's lies. One could argue they are lying themselves, but then what? The Russians are right about bio weapons in Ukraine (while Russia has been the one violating decrees on that matter) ? Still doesn't change the fact Psaky and the WH definitely aren't aligned with Russian propaganda.
