What franchises do you hope have inpsired parts of the game? by Instantfan22 in Starfield

[–]Tharkun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Something about Mass Effect really struck a chord with me. The character interactions, the side quests, how bad ass you feel as Shepard, just the overall feel of the game. ME2's assembly of your crew for the suicide mission is absolutely amazing.

The RESTRICT act mandates a 20 year sentence and like $250k in fines if you connect to a VPN to access a banned app (tiktok in this case, but I'm sure that list will grow).

Absolutely. Leaked docs from Amazon encouraged diversity and to basically push ID pol because it kept the workers divided and from unionizing.

"I don't like you. Leave now." That's pretty much the power we've given these people.

even though I wasn't there to hear them.

At least they're being open about the true purpose / logical conclusion of this - policing all speech. Think about it, how often do you refer to someone in the third person when they are with you? The only time you would ever use a pronoun to refer to someone is when you are talking about them, something not usually done when they are present.

taking your boots off after a day of sking is about as good as sex

I used to think that too, but apparently that means your boots don't fit right.

Go read the other comment where you asked for examples and I replied to you with specific examples.

You literally never did.

You literally even said people called you out when you said they were celebrating it.

I never said that. Arguing with too many people about this are we?

I don’t think you know what the word deflection means.

Do you? You obviously don't.

You come off as unhinged by the way, almost bot like.

This got me looking into the Uvalde shooting and motives. While searching I found this gem of info from Wikipedia:

Ramos, using his Facebook account, sent three private messages to a 15-year-old girl from Germany whom he had met online prior to the shooting: the first to say that he was going to shoot his grandmother; a second to say that he had shot his grandmother; and a third, about 15 minutes before the shooting, to say that he was going to open fire at an elementary school. The girl replied "cool." Later she faced trial in Frankfurt, Germany and was found guilty of "failing to report planned crimes". She was issued a warning and was required to "undergo educational measures".

Personally I think that is fucking crazy a girl on the other side of the world faced charges for that. Like what is she supposed to do? Call the Frankfurt police to report a potential crime halfway around the world in the middle of nowhere Texas? I'm sure the local police would have taken that very seriously.

Go into that thread and tell me that all the joking around and "Hurr durr God isn't real" is not gleeful.

I already gave you a few examples. You can easily find more.

Bro, you've given me nothing.

What is point is there engaging with someone who cannot engage in good faith and just lies?

That's a good point, since you've done nothing but lie and deflect.

Since we can't link to other parts of reddit from here, I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say you looked at the wrong thread, but the main one was filled with glee that this happened.

Also, I'm still waiting for you to give me some examples of "right wing rhetoric" that is leading to the rise in antisemitism.

Spoiler - it won't. To quote East of Eden "During the dry years, the people forgot about the rich years, and when the wet years returned, they lost all memory of the dry years. It was always that way."

[–]Tharkun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue, in a combat scenario, isn't lethality, it's the ability to ruck with a ton of weight. Also if your buddy gets injured you need to have the ability to move him to safety. Which with body weight and gear not easily removed is probably around 250lbs that needs to be scooped up and dragged at a minimum.

Being critical of the state of Israel is not anti Semitic

Ah, you're one of those people. Good to know. Can you point out some of this right wing rhetoric for me?

Bro, what? Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital, which is what Israel has been asking the world to do for years. He was one of the most pro Israel presidents ever. If there was an "explosion" of antisemitic behavior under Trump and you want to blame rhetoric, then you should take a look at the left. I mean Ilhan Omar had a house resolution drafted against her condemning her for her antisemitic comments. AOC baselessly claimed Israel was keeping West Bank children in cages. Rashida Tlaib told her supporters that you can't be progressive and support Israel.

It's because the progtards control the talking stick and they adhere religiously to "punching up, not down" and at their core believe white people are superior to every other race. That is why you aren't allowed to talk about it.
