Apparently the balance was supposed to be one person with good faith checking one without. Now we see what happens when every dumbass stands on the corrupt side of the balance.

Why does her face look like she's about to milk us too?

I'd argue against the word "earn" even. One cannot earn one billion dollars at all.

Nobody deserves $1 billion when it would take a teacher about 20,000 years to make the same amount. And it's not earned if it's not deserved.

But that's just semantic ranting, you're right.

She has a website that very clearly explains her platform.

Except that he's explicitly choosing to be a political candidate for the purpose of avoiding the lawsuits. A lot of these allegations occurred before he announced he was re-running, and then the lawsuits got put on hold.

Your scenario creates a method for anyone to delay consequences by running for office. Although we both know it wouldn't really work for anyone. Trump gets his special treatment.

With how trigger happy police are, the false positives would lead to more deaths than they prevent. And police would claim it's justified because the machine told them so.

With #1, strong leader probably means the strong-handed over-enforcing leader who's tough on crime to solve problems. In your example I agree, but I'd also argue the leader is guiding society in that case and it takes everyone to solve problems.

With #3, I think it's referring to a subset of actual citizens who are treated like "real" citizens over other citizens. Whether it's by race, class, religion, etc. Some minority of the population is made the boogeyman.

It's bumper stickers for your house, but pretending to be fancy.

I think it'd only be 2 squares for the rectangle of the traffic light.

I've been doing a lot of captchas lately and they always seem to want less outer edge than I expect as a probably human. Like if only a small corner of a bus is in a tile, I just ignore it.

Of course it's insane! To threaten these absolute gods who wield the power of nature (and also accept part time work explaining their plots on television.)

Is their plan to shoot someone who can summon hurricanes?

Was that song in this game too? It's been stuck in my head for decades from SSX Tricky on XBOX.

What agenda is that referencing? I'm out of the loop.

 

Any websites you like or Youtube reviewers? I prefer reviewers who also check out obscure games and actually point out flaws.

Console gaming mostly since PC has Steam reviews that help out.

I've always used Metacritic since it aggregates reviews, but it seems to have gotten worse for searching and finding top lists lately. There's gotta be better sources nowadays.

 

Scrolling on lemmy.world gets confusing when new posts are added to the page periodically. I prefer content remaining static until I refresh. Is there a way to configure that?
