Fetterman has been called a traitor for a lot longer than that. Ever since the brain damage, he’s betrayed everything he was supposedly supporting when elected. That sack of shit can’t fuck off fast enough and the moment his ass is out of office I hope and expect he finds he doesn’t have a friend in the world.
It’s hard not to lose hope for the future of the planet when the powers that be are not only just not trying to help the climate, but are actively investing enormous sums of money to reverse helpful projects.
lol. lmao even.
So your point is that the core leadership being corrupt is… a redeeming quality? Unimportant? Someone writing a report is worthy of salvation but the leadership giving the perpetrator a paid vacation is no big deal? Fuck that.
How about not give the guy who did it a paid vacation?
Acting like one cop not burying evidence of blatant corruption means we should give cops a chance is hilarious.
You’re right, a cop writing a report that includes some evidence of bad faith behaviors from other cops proves it! Remember what they say, One bad apple is bad but the rest are probably totally fine!
Suspended with pay. Motherfucker got a paid vacation for this.
ACAB.
I like how you can’t actually refute any of what I said, and all you can call out is regional differences in spelling. You’re right though, I didn’t know that was the British spelling. Using that as the focal point of your rebuttal, though, is about as meaningful as achievements that can be unlocked with a console command.
So verified by the people who put out the propaganda in the first place. Your source “confirming” the story literally came from Beijing, and all the wikipedia page (Hardly an arbiter of objective truth in the first place) states is that the number is and has been in dispute. The source cited for that section of the Wikipedia article is also a Western source titled “Quelling the People: The Military Suppression of the Beijing Democracy Movement” published in 1998 by the Stanford University Press. Something tells me they weren’t pushing the CCP line.
So basically your “Easy example” just proves my point: While you chuckle about westerners just believing what western governments said, you’re just wholeheartedly endorsing the version of events published by the Chinese government. The west aren’t the only ones lying to you, bud, they’re just the only ones who will admit it years after the fact.
If you fill a safe with rocket fuel and ignite it, the safe is not guaranteed to contain the result.
More factual according to who?
And the Chinese not admitting to propaganda due to the lack of a FOIA-equivalent means they don’t do propaganda?
Your weak reading comprehension is your problem, but let me help you anyway.
If achievements don’t matter, then your inability to unlock them also doesn’t matter. You’re complaining about not being given Nothing.
Your sense of achievement in your private endeavours [SIC] is your own.
Perfect, then you won’t care about being locked out of earning those silly little internet points.
Achievements do not serve some great purpose, but what little purpose they do serve requires that earning them is done on equal footing. If the “100% Completion on Hardest Difficulty” achievement can just be earned by playing through the game with god mode on, or even just toggling a status from zero to one with console commands, then they go from serving very little purpose to serving none at all.
So either achievements are completely pointless, and you’re complaining about not getting a pointless thing, or achievements have some value and you want them to have no value at all.
You know that by trivializing the value of achievements in the first place you also trivialize the importance of not being able to get them, right?
Of all the ideas of all time, the idea that Warframe has an aggressive monetization plan is certainly one of them.
Yes, you CAN save time by buying a resource drop booster, but those can also be earned in game. you CAN just buy whatever Warframe you want right now, but you can absolutely earn them all in game. You CAN buy Platinum, but you can also trade for it in game and never spend a dime. But none of this is aggressively presented to you, none of it gets pushed on you. The mere existence of boosters is a far cry from aggressively pushing them, the only one nagging you that you “could have had more” is you.
And the accusations of FOMO are pretty misplaced. It’s not completely absent, but on the rare occasion that your login bonus is a coupon for platinum you’re only ever one click away from just ignoring it. So many games will put something on sale once and tell you up front that if you don’t BUY it now, you’ll never get it, if you miss out, you REALLY miss out. Warframe never does that, even the things that are limited time are on a rotation, they’ll be back, and they can always be earned in game without spending a dime. Warframe makes a point of making everything earnable in game, always. You can pay for a shortcut, you can pay to skip some part you don’t like, but at no point do you ever have to, and it definitely doesn’t PUSH microtransactions on you like so many other games. You won’t get pop ups telling you to buy some limited time bundle or encouraging you to double your payout with this booster or that. Those things exist, and they’re tucked away in the market where you don’t have to interact with them. If you’re really wound up over resource drop boosters or the like, you’ll get them as the occasional log in bonus from time to time, but in most cases they’re just not going to be necessary. The things that tend to block you aren’t things a drop booster is likely to seriously impact. Frankly, if you ever spend platinum on a booster, you’re a fool.
You spent money, once. By your own admission it wasn’t even a lot. That’s fine, just have some shred of self control and the game won’t push more on you. Have a modicum of patience and sooner or later the game will give you what you were looking for anyway.
It’s about time men got the healthcare attention they deserve, right guys? /s
It’s weird, where are all the people who were saying the launch delay was probably for valid reasons? Where are the people saying that it couldn’t have all been lies because that would just come out in court? Where are those few vigorous defenders of Krafton now? There’s a big plate of shit here and they must be hungry.
Without the ability of a private person to verify that, though, it’s no more persuasive than explaining all the other things we did up there.
And if the person is capable enough to actually use a laser to accurately target and measure the reflection of these retroreflectors, they’re not a moon landing denier.
Not necessarily.
In theory if the price increases were at a slower rate than general inflation, the effective cost goes down. Additionally, they could add additional content, thus increasing the value of the provided service, at a rate greater than price increases.
In practice, yes Netflix and other streaming services have been becoming less valuable as time goes on because while costs have been driven up, available content has generally stagnated or even decreased as more media companies decide to open their own platform, pulling their content from the competition and diluting streaming value across the board.
