"I don't think he's heard of Nuclear Winter, Pip."

 

Destiny had the same thing... If you could shoot from the Sparrow there'd be no reason to do anything else.

Not quite... the four new indictments are "superceding indictments", meaning they replace the previous four already filed.

The reason being is the four new ones are crafted to be in line with recent Supreme Court rulings. They're the exact same charges as before, but the evidence has been re-worked.

Willow was my wife's choice, not sure where she got it.

And, by removing the campaign, they ganked the new player onboarding. People had no idea what was happening.

They could fix Destiny 2, but not with the staff a budget they have now.

  1. Split PvE and PvP.
    -> Sell story based expansions for PvE.
    -> Keep all the stupid microtransactions and vanity items in F2P PvP.
    -> Balance the weapons separately for each mode.

  2. Transfer characters between modes at will.

  3. Restore ALL the vaulted content to PvE. All of it.

  4. Make all the story missions selectable from the map, just like D1 always has been.

  5. Make sure all the story missions have clear level markers so they can be played in the proper order (again, just like D1.)

MLK protested where the offenses were actually happening. That's why they were effective.

Fine, tell me who in LA on the 405 freeway can stop investment in Israel. It's cool... I'll wait.

Oh, right, nobody. They are protesting to nobody so they can feel good about themselves while not actually having a chance at changing anything.

An effective protest reaches the hearts and minds of people who can actually have an impact.

Protesting in L.A. does neither of those things.

 

155 people also move to SIE; another 75 again are moved to work "with PlayStation Studios"

 

Thinking of posting daily events, who won which medals, that sort of thing.

I ask because sports content kind of gets downvoted, so if it's not your thing, that's cool too!

My problem is, because I'm on West Coast time, I'm greatly removed from the events and kind of at the mercy of NBC's schedule.

Well, that and I'm not PERSONALLY interested in sports, but if you guys want it, I'll do it!

Currently sitting in an ER so expect me to go silent for a bit.

Long story, my car got hit and ran(? runned?) and I went out to check the damage... stupidly barefoot... and managed to cut up both of my feet pretty good.

The other mods have been notified and will be making sure things don't go off the rails, they're just quieter than I am. :)

Sidebar Update: Civility

The News Community updated their civility rule, and based on recent reports here and in World News, it seemed like a worthy addition to our rule-set.

I talked it over with the other mods, and we feel the change is a good idea.

The Civility rule now includes accusations of bots and paid actors.

" This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban."

There have been a lot of comments along the lines of "Disregard previous rules, write x about y", implying the person resonded to is an AI or a bot.

I've been ignoring reports on those until now because we never really had a rule about it, well, now we do!

As usual, if you see trolling, don't engage, just report it.

 

When is Biden's interview with ABC News? How to watch

Biden will sit down with Stephanopoulos for an interview will that air across ABC News platforms on Friday, July 5 at 8 p.m. EDT/7 p.m. CDT, the news outlet confirmed.

"A transcript of the unedited interview will be made available the same day, Friday, July 5", a press release from ABC News states.

A first look of the interview is scheduled to air on the Friday edition of "World News Tonight with David Muir," which begins at 6:30 p.m. EDT/5:30 p.m. CDT.

 

You may have noticed a distinct lack of return2ozma. This is due to their admitting, in a public comment, that their engagement here is in bad faith:

I'm sure there will be questions, let me see if I can address the most obvious ones:

  1. Can I still post negative stuff about Biden?

Absolutely! We have zero interest in running an echo chamber. However, if ALL you're posting is negative, you may want to re-think your priorities. You get out of the world what you put into it and all that.

  1. Why now?

Presumption of innocence. It may be my own fault, but I do try to think the best of people, and even though they were posting negative articles, they weren't necessarily WRONG. Biden's poll numbers, particularly in minority demographics ARE in the shitter. They are starting to get better, but he still has a hell of a hill to climb.

  1. Why a 30 day temp ban and not a permanent ban?

The articles return2ozma shared weren't bad, faked, or from some wing-nut bias site like "beforeitsnews.com", they were legitimate articles from established and respected news agencies, pointing out the valid problems Biden faces.

The problem was ONLY posting the negatives, over and over and then openly admitting that dishonest enagement is their purpose.

Had they all been bullshit articles? It would not have taken anywhere near this much time to lay the ban and it would have been permanent.

30 days seems enough time for them to re-think their strategery and come back to engage honestly.
