Descent 3 was probably the weakest in the series, but it also spawned Descent: Freespace and the best space sim since wing commander, Freespace2 which is fucking amazing. I think it is still opensource but there was some interplay fuckery about it that I don’t remember.
Iran isn’t a credible threat to Israel or the US. I hate US Foreign policy as much as any good leftist, but Iran isn’t the anti-US champion I’m backing. The enemy of my enemy isn’t a friend I have principals and they don’t involve theocracies.
Please don’t compare the benefactor of an apartheid gem mine to an engineer. Just because a lot fo dumbasses are engineers, doesn’t mean Musk the dumbass is an engineer.
For example, I personally can’t listen to Guns and Roses without immediately thinking “that Axl sure is an asshole”, and that sours the entire experience.
We’ve lost. Truth must be told. The inability to admit it encapsulates everything you need to know about Israel’s individual and mass psychology. There’s a clear, sharp, predictable reality that we should begin to fathom, to process, to understand and to draw conclusions from for the future. It’s no fun to admit that...
Israel still exists, and is still being supported and recognized by most countries, plus the UN. They are still building settlements, ethnically cleansing thousands in Gaza, and the PA puppet authority is the only Palestine Israel will even acknowledge. If that is what “defeat” looks like then the word is rendered meaningless.
This is probably the best example of the OP’s thread topic. Ready Player One book is really bad gaming nostalgia on the order of the Brick by Brick meme novel by Bob Chapman. Just absolute consumerist trash with nothing interesting to say. The movie is still bad, but better then then the book.
Yea it’s this. The Artemis program is a boondongle and unlike during the cold war, the contractors know there is no existential threat to them if the program is never completed. When the program finally gets cancelled the only downside is that one of the contractors money spigots is turned off, but another will soon show up.
It’s not just “fraud.” She cost people’s livelihood, broke up families, and made people homeless directly through her actions. Even speaking as a marxist, banking isn’t all intangible made up stuff. There are real individuals suffering consequences, and most of them aren’t just rich people doing rich people things.
The death penalty in this case isn’t to deter future crime of the same type. It’s to remove a specific type of malignant cancer from society and ensure that it can’t spread to others. All of her cohorts that could be punished were sentenced for a range of time and a fine as is appropriate.
Yes. Except UBI is a collective systematic improvement subsidizing everyone, including employers, while tipping is an individual act that keeps wages depressed and subsidizes employers only.
The landlord problem is indeed a problem, but UBI isn’t mean to address that specific flaw in society, it doesn’t mean we can’t do it until we fix everything, it just means that certain landlords will get to enjoy an additional subsidy for a little while.
Agreed we should burn hollywood and stop lionizing the rich and famous, but it has nothing to do with song lyrics. Go back to the 90’s and clutch pearls with the PMRC.
Damn and NWA sang about fucking the police as well as statutory rape and murder. Maybe a good compromise is for you to stick to gospel music, or maybe even Islamic non-vocal percussion music and I’ll enjoy what I want. So I repeat my request, go clutch your pearls in the dustbin of history.
So you are saying Jordan Peele murdered someone? Assuming he did, I don’t see how that diminishes the artistic merit of Get Out or why that would matter to anyone’s enjoyment of the Kay and Peele skits.
