Like something changed? It didn't. It went comparable to XSS to downgrade in NPC count + other graphical effecs and it has unstable 30fps in docked mode. And it doesn't have a 60fps mode. It is closer to PS4 graphically than to XSS. But it is obvious that fps should be more stable than on PS4 + some additional graphical effects because stronger CPU and modern GPU.

A tiny group with barely any influence can grab a weapon and through selective shots make it look like they have a large force, when it might just be one guy with old rifles. A bunch of kids training with sticks, is that meant to justify blowing up the building and possibly killing them all?

Even if we take a bunch of Tiktoks to be hard evidence, can you rule out that civilians also interact with the mosque and walk and live nearby? Because otherwise, a strike like this still accepts the risk of killing civilians. You know, war crimes.
They are not a tiny group. All of the Mosques that were targeted were affiliated to either Lashkar-e-Taiba or Jaish-e-Mohammed. Sure there maybe civilians there, but the airstrikes happened at midnight. I'm not muslim, so someone can correct me if i am wrong, but i don't think mosques are open to public at night nor there any religious things at that time.

Quote:Video footage from the early hours of Wednesday shows a bright flash from the residential Islamic seminary outside Bahawalpur in central Pakistan as India attacked its neighbour in response to the killing of Indian tourists in Kashmir.
Quote:The seminary was emptied of its students in recent days as speculation grew that it would be targeted by India, but the family of Masood Azhar, founder of the Jaish-e-Mohammed Islamist militant group, was still there, according to the group.
Quote:Azhar, who has not been seen for years, and his brother, Abdul Rauf Asghar, deputy head of the group, did not appear to have attended the funeral prayers. The road to the site was cordoned off after the strike.
Quote: Further north, around half an hour after midnight, four Indian missiles hit a sprawling complex in Muridke over six minutes, a local government official said.
Quote:The attack left other buildings in the complex untouched. A local official said that normally there were up to 3,500 staff and students at the site, but almost everyone had been evacuated in recent days as they feared it would become a target.
Hafiz Saeed, leader of LeT and its successor organizations, is in a Pakistani jail since being convicted in 2020, on terror financing charges. He says his network, which spans 300 seminaries and schools, hospitals, a publishing house and ambulance services, has no ties to militant groups.

Quote: The Pakistan-based leader of a militant group has said 10 of his relatives have been killed in a missile strike by India.
Quote:Video footage of the mosque, assessed by BBC Verify, showed one of its domes had collapsed and extensive damage occurred inside, including two holes in the roof and one in the ground.

Azhar founded JeM in 1999 upon his release from prison in India. JeM has been linked to al Qaeda and the Taliban, the UN Security Council has said. The UN designated Azhar as a terrorist in 2019.

I feel the democrats are going to have to come up with a solution that's more creative than fuck off to attract the voters, especially the young ones in the middle, so we can steer this country away from fascism in 2026 and 2028.

I don't know what that solution is. It can't be fuck off, though. That negatively resonates with the same people we need to sway back our way. Maybe he shouldn't have said anything until he has a better solution other than "I'm sorry".

I personally don't care who plays what sport. But I fear my liberal views would just push people to voting for Don Jr in 2028 and that would be the death knell for freedom.

I'm so sad we live in a country now that's fallen so far that we have to decide between compromising our beliefs and this current abomination.

Their excuse for harshly moderating "boy's club rhetoric" is that it makes the female members in the community uncomfortable. However, they let trans members goon to their heart's content and share all their sexual fetishes about lesbians and even straight women. Yet that somehow isn't sexist, demeaning, or make their women members uncomfortable.  Rolleyes

Just stupid double standards and hypocrisy, and it show how fake their concerns about their women members are.
Quote:The specific situation in the OP is not my focus here. My rage is directed at the fact businesses love hiring to the minimum staff required for basic functioning, and then get shocked when they discover their labor structure has no resiliency against real world conditions and problems.

Staff getting sick, randomly, and without warning, is a guarantee, not a possibility. If your business (and society at large) cannot survive a same day call out because someone woke up and immediately threw up because of the flu, can we at least appreciate the irony of getting mad that they didn't infect all your other staff/customers?

We've built a system that's not only dependent on causing maximal harm, it provides built in incentives to pursue them at each level, and it's convinced all of us to see each other as enemies to fight rather than the executives who designed it all. While we spat over rules of conduct imposed on us, they spend their time coming up with ever more elaborate scams to strip away more of your pay and benefits.

The macro economic losses due to sickness is exponentially magnified by the fact we have fully divorced infectiousness from the equation entirely. We all knowingly participate in the lie that the cold/flu "expire" after 24-hours, so obviously you cannot ever take more than 1 day off, it's "unreasonable". As if we have a mind-link with viruses and can command them to turn off.

Instead we pass around the illness between all our staff, causing continual interruptions and disconnects, scheduling conflicts, and general turmoil and stress. And we have the added bonus of infecting our customers so they can go to work and kick off the process all over again.

Even after the insanity of COVID, we immediately returned to this mythos, despite normalizing the idea that we can and should base our public participation on actual biology and science by testing for infectiousness, not subjective opinion based standards of "do you really feel 'bad' enough not to come in, seriously".

Even if we may not be able to put clothes on him, I at least want those around me to just admit they know the emperor is naked too.

I'm very disappointed with Smol Bean at the moment to be honest. I expected her to jump into the Thom Yorke thread with an extra smug "Told y'all."

I mean this movie didn't flop hard what are you talking about. Geesh people just cause you hear something underperformed doesn't mean it flopped.

Politically? No they are not. MS is currently supporting a genocide. Also Nintendo just released a game with a trans playable character last year

They are only the most conservative in terms of adopting industry standards

Its cute that Reee crazies think that Nintendo are not arch conservatives. I understand trans people will take whatever scraps are thrown, but the reality is staring them in the face. it does explain why Nintendo gets away with so much fuckshit with these groups.

And Microsoft isn't actually "currently supporting a genocide".

Lol trust Reeee to lose it over a pretty good statement from Thom Yorke, shows you just how stupid many of them are. They love purity tests; how many of them would actually pass one if pressed?

Absolute slacktivists. Moral grandstanding on a forum that will bend over and spread em over for corporate companies they worship like Apple, Nintendo, and Sony. 

Look how many of them melted down from the idea that they may not be able to get a Switch 2.

Yes Israeli the goverment are absolute shitters, but the strange appreciation I've seen for Hamas from certain quarters of the left is twisted.

Imagine taking a day off especially for iwata's death

That's one way to get fired.

It's the trans colors and once one of them declared it to be a trans icon all the rest followed because this is how they do everything. (Also they want to be children so they love "stuffies" and think women carry them because they think women are children.)

I also think it's hilarious how often Era in particular makes this point when someone of the wrong demographics is caught in a criminal act: well, you see, they were pushed into this by circumstances of poverty, want, inadequate housing, lack of access to "nice" neighborhoods, etc. They argue Broken Windows while being careful not to say it directly.
This is how they do everything. Scream constantly about THE SYSTEM then stop short of actually analyzing any systems and how they might work.

Maybe if they educated themselves on the topic, and spoke rationally, they could either convince people that the whole thing is a nakedly political tactic to drag *everyone's* rights backwards, or highlight how absurd it is for the government to get into the business of dictating who is allowed to chase a ball around a middle school together.
What's most hilarious about this is that plagiarize continues to not know that the government runs schools and there's all kinds of laws on the books about school sports including Title IX. lol 

"Only women being allowed to play women's sports is dragging *everyone's* rights backwards and the government should stay out of government schools. I am educated and speaking rationally."
