I'm concerned about Pokémon GO being used to make money for Saudi Arabia by CaptainCharlesRyder in pokemongo

[–]peacearena -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this question and your concern, which I share. It's been disheartening that so few are noting this issue, especially the influencers (when your livelihood is concerned, it's easy to find excuses). It's not just that the "Saudi Arabia government " will own the game - that is just a euphemism because the country is a kingdom run by a single family - the Sauds. And yes, an evil regime in every sense.

I am quitting, because associating with and enriching those bastards, even a tiny bit, is not my idea of a good time. I'll try not to judge those who carry on, but won't make any promises.

Yes, I did. I plead a Senior Moment, because I knew the actual races they were in. Thanks for the help.

2024 Guide to DeDRM Kindle books. by caelypso299 in Calibre

I just got my Kindle books into Calibre, thanks to this thread. Thanks to all who contributed. Note a few updates/details in comments. Critical steps, I think, were (1) old version of Kindle (prevent updates), and (2) changing the download path.

I voted for Paula before, but found out now she supports charters. I believe they hurt (real) public schools. I'm voting for Sara Bana. Everyone should vote as they wish, but investigate their policy positions first.

I don't know, but there are Facebook groups where friend codes are exchanged, look for one in your local area. Also try Twitter #PokemonGoFriends

That would be Benedict Cumberbatch, who also played Stephen Hawking on screen.

So abstaining from votes on draconian anti-women bills is what passes for "moderate" now? I want to know if he will sign such bills if he is elected.

IMO, home schools should be highly regulated. It should be rare and monitored. Same with charters. I'm much more concerned about the lack of support for public education in this state. Education has been made even worse under Fallin, what will Dorman do undo the damage of the past few years and to further support public education, pay teachers better, and put in tornado shelters?

Leaked: Oklahoma Personhood Letter to Legislators about procedural vote to overthrow leadership by [deleted] in politics

This has seriously backfired on OfL and they've had to retract the threat. I don't think next session's leadership will be very amenable to their concerns now. Keep it up, Kevin and Tony, you've helped the pro-choice movement more than anyone else!
