They weren’t ignored, they were large protests but out numbered by voters who were okay with the wars. If the protests in 2003 were sufficiently large enough Bush wouldn’t have been re-elected in 2004.

Protest doesn’t mean you just immediately get your way if the crowd is reasonably large.

Ya haha, would you want to live in that world? I mean I feel like if we had enough people sorting the garbage we could find the gold.

I played and refunded after my 3080ti had a hard time getting 60 fps in 1080p.

If everyone in the world suddenly created a video game and 99.999% of them are garbage, but 0.001% of them were good, that’s still 8,000,000 good games.

Vastly increasing the number of video games released undoubtedly leads to more good games. The problem at that point is more finding them rather than questioning whether or not they exist.

I agree, and lowering the cost of entry to the game development market means more games and better games for all of us.

However the biggest difference between those health systems still seems to be how providers bargain for lower prices.

I disagree, that would be true if they were selling televisions or something, if you don’t like the price buy a different brand; but this isn’t possible on exclusive drugs. Hospitals have zero room negotiate by shopping around on a patented medication. Their literal only trick to lower prices is by government legislation.

Pharma companies can set the prices to whatever they want because they have government protected monopolies over their products.

I’ll straight up admit that I can’t compete in most pvp titles; and I don’t want to be a loot goblin for the high school kids who are going to 360 no-scope headshot me from across the map and then tea bag my corpse.

I could get info that game either. It looks amazing. I’m sure the experience is great, but it never really grabbed me.

StarCraft 2 is the bomb, just download it and play the campaigns, it’s worth it. Probably the best RTS campaign IMO.

I would create ten different accounts to play a game that’s the quality of rdr2.

I joined because I got banned from Reddit. Unjustly I claim.

True, it’s about what you value.

And if you don’t care about privacy or punishing google for some reason or another, then there is nothing empowering about switching services.

Okay, let me empower you with living on Mars in a small shack that’s temperature controlled with oxygen

Wow so much privacy… you’re so empowered now.

Tell me what motivated you to go through that?

No offence but comments like yours serve no purpose other than to impede non-tech-savvy people’s digital empowerment.

I would argue that empowerment is more associated with capability rather than privacy or social justice (Whatever reason people are protesting Google); and having an all in one stop is incredibly convenient, and thus capable.

Think of your phone as a safe, and your fingerprint as the key.

With a warrant the police cannot force you to divulge the location of the key to your safe, but they can absolutely open your safe if they find it. (Yes they can pick the safe or cut it open but that’s irrelevant to this analogy) If your safe uses a code to unlock they cannot force you to give them the code. (Again yes they’ll get into the safe eventually, somehow, but irrelevant).

It then follows that with a warrant the police cannot force you to divulge if you use facial recognition or which finger you use, but they can just try things until it works. And again they cannot force you to give them a pin or passcode to your phone.

Key concept here is don’t use fingerprints or facial recognition to secure your phone.

A pair of safety goggles that seal well against your eyes will help you a ton against tear gas. You’re still going to have breathing issues but you’ll avoid the eye pain.

I used this trick when I needed to cut lots of onions.

Gas masks just aren’t practical for large crowds due to the expense/training required. You’re looking at $150 new, filters being about $40+ new. Sure you can get surplus for cheaper if you can find it, but most people can’t, not enough to go around.

Also filters should be replaced after being esposed to chemicals they’re designed to protect against. You probably could get away with using tear filters exposed to year gas.

I mean I want a modern version of it with the jank removed, but I want the same systems, same story ya.

Oblivion and Skyrim constantly disappointed me with the simplification of the RPG systems.

I should be able to cast a jump spell that sends me to the moon; and the spell runs out before I reach the moon, where I die terribly.

This is like switching from Walmart to 15 other stores just to buy the same stuff. It’s going to be extremely difficult to convince anyone to make this jump.

It’s a actually harder because whoops, three years later you try to log into a service and it asks for a verification code sent to your Gmail address that you no longer have access to, oh well.
