now imagine that scenario with MAGA going in to a liberal gated community…what do you think would happen?

My guess? The couple wouldn't bring any guns out to begin with, mostly because MAGA protesters would be white.

Liberal communities have plenty of racism. It just happens through ignorance & a lack of thinking instead of direct malice.

China is kind of notorious for being the place where you can find internet trolls for hire for cheap.

Reflexively associating people & things you dislike with an ethnicity is a form of hate, and you are doing it. After all, America has plenty of – hell, I'd argue more – easily bought trolls available, and yet I don't seem to see a whole lot of people bringing up their nationality so much, assuming they mention them at all.

And I'm not going to ignore racist statements just because pointing it out causes tension.

Chinese internet trolls

You know you can hate somebody without associating them with Chinese people, right?

I believe it will be added to the official steam store sometime soon

Assuming nothing explodes, yes. The devs have confirmed they're working on porting TF2C to use the newly-released codebase and plan to release on Steam now that they're legally allowed to do so.

Might not be "soon" though. I suspect porting will take a lot of work.

I hate their policies, but you gotta acknowledge the honesty.

For what it's worth, I don't think anyone's doing it intentionally. It's just very easy to be upset right now. The world is a mess.

I hear you though. We absolutely need to work on this.

Uh, this looks an awful lot like a guide written by an LLM (or at the very least, a copy-paste template) posted on an unofficial site intended to hoodwink people looking for the real one. Judging by search results, there's a few of these sites.

I don't think we should repost content from them, or encourage them, personally. EDIT: Pretty sure this user's a bot actually. Don't click these links, folks.

"Activist"?

If you're suggesting we change the system from within, I've got bad news: We've been trying that. It hasn't been working. The purpose of the system is what it does, and what this system does is rob us of representation.

Reckless hate and murder won't fix a damn thing, you're correct there. But neither will reliance on voting in a rigged system.

This absolutely happens. Team Fortress 2 Classic dropped Linux support outright a few years ago in favor of Proton support since it's easier on the devs to do, and even as an avid Linux user I don't blame them.

This was true, but a big part of that reason (as followed up on by some other devs) is that Linux users are usually tech-savvy, and frequently work on software. They contribute more bug reports because they know how to report a bug. You'll have more bug reports, but not necessarily because there's more bugs (though that too), and as a bonus the users reporting them will probably be able to help you fix those bugs a lot better than the average Windows user.

Linux has had awful drivers for graphics cards

Not been my experience at all. Or am I misunderstanding and you're saying that's a past problem? Because I've used both AMD and Nvidia drivers on Mint and they've both been fantastic.

 

Archive.

Noting that the title of the article is not terribly good, as the funds in question have already been appropriated for the purpose of the wall and are not new, and are in fact part of a "compromise" bill that also includes funding for asylum lawyers. Not that I want a compromise bill, or don't think she shouldn't push for better, but it's hardly big news.

That said, the real problem lies at the end:

Zoom in: Beyond embracing the bipartisan bill, Harris' campaign has portrayed her as an immigration hardliner in ads.

The bottom line: Like the wall itself, Harris' changes on border policy reflect how Trump has shifted the political debate on immigration during the past decade.

I am getting very, very sick of the trend of Democrats spending more time trying to appeal to bigoted conservatives than trying to actually represent their own constituents or help the people they ostensibly care about.
