posts and discussions about it are against this sub's rules regarding real-world political discussions.
The game is a satire of real-world politics but discussion about it is forbidden?

While everyone else was running away, this man was brave enough to run in (and steal the merch).

I think that's the exact point. Conservatives are fine with mass deportations, until it's them. They're fine with protestors being run over, until it's them. They're fine with denying people abortions, until it's them. They're fine with a few people being shot dead, until it's them.
It's why conservative commentators talk so much about how empathy is bad. If you were empathetic you'd know that, if you wouldn't be alright with it happening to you, it's not alright for it to happen to others.

Woah! Someone who liked the ending! You're too wholesome for a gaming community lol.
I read one meta take on the ending that both sounded interesting and like cope. The end of Part II makes you feel exactly like Ellie feels. You push through because you want a conclusion to the story, just like Ellie. The end might be terrible, but it is an ending. In a meta way, you could get a better "ending" by stoping when Ellie and Dina are together at the farmhouse. You can stop playing, just like Ellie could stop obsessing over Abby, but how many people did that? Who would stop when the story isn't done?
Personally, I think the writers made a bet that they could stretch "an eye for an eye leaves the world blind" into a novel.

Some places take forklift certification seriously, some don't. There's no way to get a driver's licence without going through some government run program, whereas companies provide forklift certification to their employees. My work just gives it to everyone. I got mine day 1 and had never driven a forklift before. My friend works at a Walmart warehouse and had to take like 20 hours of courses and driver training before getting his.

Still waiting for any kind of counter argument. Becoming a vegetarian is something anyone can do immediately and cuts their ties to an industry that is making climate change worse. Not driving a car or only using sustainable energy sources are great but not everyone can immediately switch away from these things.
Kurzgesagt has a video where they present a lot of research data on the topic if anyone is interested in sources to back up claims. I like the video because it's prefaced by saying the hardest part of the topic is getting people to not be offended at the idea of becoming a vegetarian, or even just eating less meat. It's difficult enough to get people to change their diets when it's causing a direct negative effect on their own health, let alone some abstract negative effect on the planet. I understand. Nobody wants to change their diet, but it's something people are capable of doing, and with so many benefits that come with it, I encourage people to at least give it a thought.
- Comment on We are helping 2 weeks ago:
That's true. Using your vehicle less is good. Not using one at all is even better. The same logic applies to eating meat. Less meat is good. No meat is even better. Your argument is the exact same argument for not eating meat. You cannot believe one is true without necessarily believing the other to be as well.

I feel like if I said "vaccines are safe and effective" you could respond with the same image and people would clap because that's how conversations about important issues go today.
- Comment on We are helping 2 weeks ago:
Other than voting for politicians that put climate change as their top issue, not eating meat is another effective method that literally anyone can do without affecting their life. Things like buying an electric car or not using natural gas to heat your home might not be options available to everyone. We can all live normal fulfilling lives without meat. You'll probably also save a decent amount on groceries, so that's a bonus!

No way vtubers are a cult. Cults require members to isolate themselves and give all their money to the cult leader...maybe there are some parallels.

- Comment on Who are the "middle class" supposed to support in the class stuggle? 3 weeks ago:
In the book 1984, one of the characters postulates that in any system of government there are 3 groups. The unwashed masses comprising 90% of people, the elite who are better than everyone else making up 1% of people, and a middle buffer of 9% of people. The buffer is used by the elite to keep the unwashed masses from uprising. Anyone from the 90% who looks like they might be trouble for the 1% gets to be in the 9%. They get treated a bit better in exchange for defending the status quo. Perhaps if they defend it hard enough they can be given a spot among the 1%!
I believe the argument made by this character is supposed to be flawed, but it ends up being pretty believable. The "middle class" would be the buffer zone of people who defend the status quo in exchange for slightly better treatment by the 1% than the average person gets.

When you ended your last post with "it feels like I'm close to the end" I couldn't wait to see how you'd react to the switching sides thing! Seems like you took it better than most!
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? 3 weeks ago:
They're both amazing games so I don't think there's a wrong choice here. I'd say art, music, and story go to Clair Obscur while gameplay, replayability, and sex scenes go to Baldur’s Gate 3.

Right. The guy who faked clips boosted his skills to a level he couldn't actually compete in. He was scouted to be part of a pro team and was kicked after they realized his videos were faked.

How does boosting affect other players?

How is using multiple accounts to play against yourself and boost your rank cheating in the actual game? No actual players are being robbed of wins.
- Comment on ‘Escape From Tarkov’ Coming To Steam In the Coming Weeks 3 weeks ago:
There are several exposé videos on cheating in Rocket League. Here's one by Sunless Khan on "Jimmy" who was on trick shot team but he was actually editing the data of replay files to produce his clips.
Another one by Wayton Pilkin on account boosting, DDoSing servers to cause legit players to have their connection dropped allowing the cheater to win by forfeit, and cheaters using invisible cars.

I've also heard it doesn't run on Linux, ironically due to it's kernel level anti-cheat.

The tomatoes growing in that apartment is great level design. I had the same reaction of "how could these plants survive without people?" and then you get jumped and it's like "oh, should have known." The apartment also has a door you can't open that's opened after you get jumped which explains where the people came from. I remember appreciating the details (after struggling to not die).

- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 4 weeks ago:
Man Carrying Thing has a sketch on male loneliness epidemic. Someone tries explaining social issues to a guy who doesn't care about anyone but himself but starts to listen when he hears the word "male" added to them. Male lonliness, male climate change, male war. The guy now cares deeply about these social issues (because they affect him) except he thinks all the problems are caused by women not sleeping with him.
