I didn’t know how I got back to ml lol I’m out

Not the other commenter but the meme infers USSR was better, and infers people knew what was to happen afterwards. Russia was making progress a little bit before Putin. I constantly think about what if I wasn’t adopted. I’ll probably be dead, forced to fight on the wrong side of war in Ukrainian. Then again idk what the USSR would be if it never fallen, completely blocking foreigners from adopting their orphans.

If you are voting the opposite of the norm in your area, you are making a bigger impact than the reverse of the situation. Go by county and try to flip yours to blue. If it happens to flip, your vote counts 100%, otherwise you have at least tried and voted. Here is some links to check 2020 results by town or county.

I wouldn’t call them leftist, as their views are too pro authoritarian. They more branched off in a different direction that sometimes looks more right than left.

There is a big streaming scene on various platforms, people doing it as a full time job. They are roleplaying, which is popular with a bunch of 3rd party mods to support it. This probably contributes to the longevity of the game.

Critical mistake thinking paywall is pay to win. There is a difference, one is locked, the other can open their wallets but don’t have to, but can. Any type of advantage that can be bought with money IS pay to win. The key word is advantage and can be applied to any view point, like ‘skipping’ and ‘easier’. A person that pays will always be ahead of a person that doesn’t, hence paying to win.

I mean, if you are trying to argue against this means you probably wouldn’t mind buying premium bullets in a video game, like a CEO, John Riccitiello, suggested. Premium bullets would be very convenient and make killing players easier! You wouldn’t need to grind levels as long with those boosts!

Rule of thumb is to ask: would paying allow me to finish the game faster? Yes means pay to win.

Warframe is the most p2w game I have ever played, and I don’t understand how people can say otherwise. Imagine you could buy the best pve gear in a mmo like WoW instead of grinding out raids. Warframe is this and then some. Resources? You can buy that. Skip crafting times? Yes. Buy boosters to shorten leveling and item acquisition? Definitely multiple versions. And the game still creates problems and sells the solution, the classic monetization of inventory space.

The game is very good, has an amazing story, and the movement system is the best, but it’s extreme p2w if you want it to be. At its core, It is a very grindy looter shooter which is severely monetized.

I play it a little from time to time and it’s gets boring quick. Doing the same meta events uncountable amount of times isn’t exciting. Also the lack of RPG progression has drawbacks, but great for casuals. The power creep is just buffing classes, some can generate all the boons in the game. Adding new maps every expansion/update spreads out the player base, an old mmo problem, making the game look more dead than in the past.

I tried a bunch of Bethesda games in the past and didn’t like any of them. I known I’m in the minority when I say that.

Lian Li is the best case manufacturer currently because almost every other case manufacturer is copying their designs (so many fish bowl cases, cases with venting and open panels in the lower shroud area, and cases with a second chamber behind the motherboard for the power supply and drives). Fractal Design is also decent, but not as innovative as Lian Li.

I have the Lancool 3 currently, white version because white colored cases are easier to see inside with normal indoor lighting. No extra lights makes it easier to work in. The only complaint is that it’s not silent at all. Also I would prefer no glass, but not really a complaint.

Doctors are people too and can make mistakes, but they are highly educated (hopefully through accreditation) and depending how long they have been in practice, experienced. That being said, online educational sources can help get you started if you suspect something is wrong, but don’t try to do a doctor’s work from online research. This includes asking Lemmy/reddit advice.

I just installed this today, and saw all the communications from google apps are going to Canada, which surprised me.

Almost everything sold in USA is measured in metric and imperial units (technically wrong name, US customary units). You can get by with either.

Also, the measuring by volume can be bad for salts, because different types take up different volume amounts. A tale of two salts by Chef John (foodwishes channel on YouTube) has a nice little video about this: https://youtube.com/watch?v=XGCY9Cpia_A

Do you work at Blizzard?

ToS and the like are legal documents that people/customers ‘sign’ or agree to before using a service or product, usually agreed or signed AFTER a purchase has been made. Arbitration causes in these documents mean that you agree to not sue the company for any reason, like a class action lawsuit. Basically if you feel like you have been scammed or taken advantage of by that company, you cannot sue for damages. ToS are not the law though and can be superceded by legal means, like a lawsuit ironically. Correct me if I’m not 100% correct, as I’m not a lawyer and this is just my understanding of this.
