Interstate compacts require congressional approval. This one doesn’t have that. There’s also a good argument that a state giving all it’s votes to someone the state didn’t vote for in the majority violates the rights of it’s citizens to a republican form of government.
It’s not just battles trying to delay it. There’s very good legal arguments that congressional approval is required at a minimum in addition to states signing on.
This compact is extremely unlikely to ever be enforceable. The ensuing court cases would make 2000 seem minor.
This article seems to be lumping mobile and PC into the same bucket which is probably more of a red flag for the analysis they are doing here. Of course revenue is going to be more split when you add in tons of mobile games that are very effective at taking lots of money with minimal interaction.
There were plenty that used woke as a non perjorative term.
I doubt anyone was ever shamed for not using Latinx, the problem there was more a mass amount of people that felt it was a way to erase their culture. It’s a very wasp thing to create a term for a people and declare the most inclusive term without actually consulting anyone it addresses.
There’s literally a personal examples of “wokeness” pushing away the people that were intended to be helped on their discussion. If you want to pretend it’s not a thing that happened or it’s not a real movement then don’t expect much change.
The problem with woke was that it tried to solve relatively minor issues with massive changes and shame anyone who disagreed. That unsurprisingly lead to backlash and alienation. Yes there’s some racist dudes who just want to use the N-word without problems, but that’s not enough to explain the cultural swing that happened.
It’s really not. There’s definitely blame to be assigned, but the woke crowd of the 2010s isn’t solely responsible for Trump.
That seems to be what happened here.
There’s been an effort to downplay the attempts made after massive backlash, especially with Latinx. That doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
I did the thing. I read the transcript (it’s a video chat/debate). Most of the woke they talk about hating is the older stuff that is super cringe or feels racist, like “person of color” or micro aggressions. It does cover that the anti-woke crowd is mostly about being openly racist/sexist or getting to say slurs.
The answer here seems to be leaning towards yes. The creations of labels that the people you were labeling didn’t even like led to backlash, see Latinx or BIPOC. Coming up with euphemisms to justify removing white people from conferences or panels because there weren’t minorities, instead of focusing on the opinions and thoughts represented. The woke crowd created problems that pushed people away that may have mostly agreed with them.
Ultimately it seems like you’re opinion of woke and the definition you give it depends on when you became politically conscious. If it was in the 90e and early 2000s, it’s a more negative view of the progressive definition of woke. If it was during the Obama years, you think it’s more of a maga creation as a way to be more openly racist.
It’s tempered glass, so it doesn’t need the support. It also means that it’s designed to shatter in a way that prevents sharp edges. That robot has a lot more power than a human when it hits the glass. Tempered glass does weaken after repeated strong impacts, so that could potentially be part of it as well.
US border agents aren’t discriminating when it comes to being dicks though. Citizens get treated like shit too.
1 was definitely heavy asset reuse and clunky mechanics, but it’s part of the charm at that point. I think 2 burned me out because I went overboard on scanning everything which gets really boring really quickly. Then facing more grind in 3 to get to a point where combat is actually fun, wasn’t worth it.
I tried to do a playthrough again when it was free from prime, but I never finished 3. Knowing the lackluster ending waiting for me was a real downer. Also the early game is a bit of a slog.
They have a demo available for free, which was enough to let me know I’m too dumb for the game.
Natural selection 2 doesn’t have cheaters, but it’s a small player base with a large learning curve.
I didn’t notice a ton of cheaters on halo infinite, but I’m not crazy about most their game modes.
I really hate how they destroyed the loot system from 2 onwards. The core fun of anything being able to drop something awesome was a big part of the fun.
The top 20 appears to be play time, but it would be nice if it was ever really mentioned.
