“While Barron is honored to have been chosen as a delegate by the Florida Republican Party, he regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments,” the Office of Melania Trump wrote in a statement to ABC News.
Imposter syndrome is rooted in being qualified, but not being confident that one is qualified. Qualified includes being able to learn as experience is gained.
So the opposite requires some level of confidence, so it depends on whether being qualified matters.
If the person is qualified and confident, then confidence.
If they think they are qualified but aren’t, then overconfidence. I consider this to be the opposite of imposter syndrome.
EA has tried this before, with predictable results. In 2020, EA Sports UFC 4 included full-screen ads for the Amazon Prime series The Boys that would appear during ‘Replay’ moments. These were absent from the game when it launched, with EA introducing the ads about a month later, thereby preventing them from being...
If I paid >$0 for a game I don’t want ads in that game.
Season passes, in game stores, and every other mtx in a game I paid for is insulting and generally ends up being intrusive and annoying since they tend to shove it in your face.
They also have far better scaling on sales than they did in 2006, with tons of storefronts and easy access for anyone to download and play a game without needing to go to a physical store.
People like to complain about steam taking 30% of a sale, but it isn’t like game companies were getting 70% of a boxed game on a shelf. They had manufacturing, shipping, and a ton of other costs for physical media that they don’t spend on digital sales that can scale infinitely in an extremely short period of time because it can’t sell out locally.
If they are spending too much for their return, then they need to scale back their spending.
Nearly half of the campus protests that Acled categorized as violent involved protesters fighting with law enforcement during police interventions, according to the group’s data.
So 98.5% were peaceful, although some protesters had to defend themselves against police aggression.
There is a discussion about parental rights and how denying marriage would deny a 17 year old parent the same rights as an 18 year old married parent because of how marriage is tied up in all kinds of things. Of course they could address it by an amendment that grants the rights without needing the marriage, but instead they would rather just promote abusive situatuations instead.
Plus they are trying to increase the number of teen pregnancies through abortion bans, so making it more likely that people end up as underage parents.
Have no idea what it is about, other than being decentralised. Some basic search results suggests that its a sham, scam and riddled with crypto ideas. Or is it apart of something noteworthy? Geuinly curious what the general consensus is of the Web3.
The original idea was simply for people to control their own data on decentralised networks, I don’t think anyone had a problem with that definition.
That is how the web has worked since its inception. The fact that people choose to primarily go through a limited number of effective monopolies doesn’t mean the underlying structure is centralized.
I think the creators of web3 did understand how the web works, but wanted to change it and sold the change by gaslighting people about how web3 actually works.
Originalism would be better named “selective originalism” because it cherry picks specific parts out of context and ignores the rest. A religion of legality.
Saying the cars weren’t in use by the owners is saying cops can confiscate parked cars. Adding a bit about drugs, which should be legal and regulated, is just saying cops can steal your stuff as long as they claim you did something wrong.
You are saying it was right by blaming the victims.
Impounding = you just have to pay to get car back.
Civil forfeiture = you have lost your vehicle, but there is a process to overturn the seizure.
The fact that there is a way to reverse a decision does not mean the default difference is that the former expects you to get it back and the latter is set up that you don’t get it back (unless you do a bunch of extra steps).
No, the fact that it is civil forfeiture, which is handled differently than impounding, is relevant for a post that says:
how quickly can they get their property back when civil forfeiture happens
That wording implies that they will get their property back, when the default for civil forfeiture is not getting their property back. Expediting the hearings doesn’t change the underlying issue of civil forfeiture being the police taking away people’s stuff for a reason that has nothing to do with their arrests and forcing people to justify getting it back.
It will also speed up the cases where they are not given their stuff back.
