Thats not the point of it, just how it works when faced with reality. The point of it is for the citizens to exercise their collective will to make their community better.
The problem is people are either disconnected or ill-informed, so at best we get stop-gaps to keep nefariousness at bay.
The controversy was that like one person said they were offended then they changed it (from one generic pose showing off her but to a more in character pose showing off her butt) and people took it and ran with it as though they were reacting to that one person instead of making reasonable design choices.
I would not look to characters from SG:U for a healthy outlook on anything.
I was listening to a podcast (informal morning show from one of the guys who founded roosterteeth) and he talked about how he got off Twitter and Facebook and everything well before the pandemic… but has been needing to get back on them just to connect with others in his community.
Pretty sure the current Iranian regime wouldn’t either, which is probably the Iran the article title is talking about.
Did his bullying work? The terms of the cease fire seem to be Oran gets everything it wants while Trump pounds sand.
Well it’s good you acknowledge all the things you cant do.
What about the things you can?
Thats because too many people sit on their ass waiting for other people to take care of it for them.
Coincidentally a lot of them are the same ones who call for violent action (and not all of them lean right).
These actions only work if a majority of citizens actually take them, not sit back and complain about how they dont work because things dont magically get fixed the instant a minority of people do it once.
One time someone shouted at me from their truck that they didn’t like my shirt. It wasn’t a sports shirt and didn’t have any logos at all. I think it was just baggier than they liked.
Sometimes people just dont like things being different.
Depends on who you ask. I’d say about a third of the US population doesn’t even think about it.
I only use fresh, organic, free-range silver nitrate.
How long till they claim they knew nothing?
As soon as someone stops them from doing it.
You could use a different word that’s not an attack if you don’t want to attack. Like “reason” or “catalyst” or “schmoople”.
Don’t get bent just because people took your words at face value rather than what you actually meant.
and play your games with friends
Thats part of what “community” is.
Regardless, just because it’s not your reason for using it doesn’t mean it’s not a major factor in why it’s successful in general.
Or that they’re just very insecure and shortsighted and think that any negative effects on their current numbers are because of something as banal and petty as name calling instead of anti-consumer practices that drive customers away.
I’d say that’s probably pretty par for the course for all his marriages, really.
Say goodbye to ‘smart’ products
Silver linings?
A lot of people are saying this correlates to Chinese New Year, but I don’t know how that correlates to video game playing.
Time off, supposedly using computer cafes, as I’ve heard it explained here.
Its hard to imagine what life would be like if I had something different for breakfast. That doesn’t mean my life would be measurable different.
I think it’s possible that things wouldn’t have gotten as bad as fast. But just as easily the people behind the asshole could have found someone just as able to enact their selfish desires. Potentially someone who is even better at it, considering how much flailing Trump has done since taking office either time.
