Calling HITMAN a crappy live service thing is hardly fair. True, the always online part feels really unnecessary, but beyond that it is a stellar single player game with the best Hitman gameplay of the last two decades, a large selection of excellent maps with variants and extra missions, as well as a really impressive rogue-like mode added later for free.

The elusive targets and seasonal content can be completely ignored, and the game would still be a major milestone in modern singleplayer games.

What a horrifying disaster.

Canada is not a Euro-zone country.

And also, Ireland is south of Denmark.

Not sure I understand, who is being called names?

And sure, laws like these are always a compromise, with no objectively true answer.

Corrected.

The point of having an age of consent (in this case 16 in the UK) is not popularity, and not just parental awareness or protection from people in positions of power.

It’s a decision by society that kids below this age are incapable of grasping the full consequences of their consent.

Of course the limit is going to be somewhat arbitrary, and you can definitely argue that age of consent laws are bad without being a creep, but you’d have to argue that a 15 year old understands the ramifications of consent.

Anno 1800, love working with the supply chain.

The UN is more a place to talk with your enemies than with your friends, and getting the chance to sit at a table with people you disagree with rather than fighting each other is great.

If there are any Palestinians left to disagree with.

What is this black magic?? How are these symbols a valid domain name???

That’s only “longtermism”. EA as introduced by Peter Singer in “the life you can save” is an incredibly sincere and well founded philosophy of charity.

Military response and operations to save the hostages is naturally justified, but that can be done without actively

• cutting off water, food and power supply
• bombing hospitals and apartment buildings full of civilians
• executing civilian families in the streets
• allowing members of parliament to call for eradication of the Gazan people without criticism
• trying to shut down any criticism of their extreme and indiscriminate violence by calling their opponents part of Hamas (South Africa, UNRWA)

That other countries would do it too does in no way make it morally justified, it just makes those countries monstrous as well.

Hamas are horrible terrorists. There, your first liberal pointing a finger at Hamas. Now, consider what the point of critique is. Will Hamas ever care about western criticism? No. Will Israel ever care? Maybe. They depend on Western support in their political and economic stability. Therefore continued scrutiny and criticism of Israel has a chance of actually making a difference.

Looks cool! Are you talking about the mathematical field of “complex analysis” involving integrals over complex-valued functions, or rather calculations of complicated things?

Technically ready and available now, just not ready to compete with classical computers.

Which, sadly, is a step above what fusion has achieved so far.

According to the article, studies in places where the ammunition has been used “indicated that the existence of depleted uranium residues dispersed in the environment does not pose a radiological hazard to the population of the affected regions.”

What effect does it have on the grain?
