- Comment on Hegseth Starts Proceedings Against Sen. Mark Kelly Over His Remarks 22 hours ago:
Depends. If it’s a military court Hegseth can stack it with loyalists. The Uniform Code of Military Justice doesn’t work the same as normal courts.
Also even if Kelly wins it’s a military affair. He can’t sue.
- Comment on Woman wearing ‘globalise the intifada’ jacket among three arrested at Sydney protest against US action in Venezuela 1 day ago:
The anti-protest laws give the state police commissioner power to issue a “public assembly restriction declaration” after a suspected terrorist incident has been declared. It can prevent protests and marches from being “authorised” by police or the courts, which can result in prosecution for protesters who obstruct people or traffic in a public place if their protest has not been formally authorised.
I’m not australian so i fail to understand why you guys would vote for that. Suspension of protesting rights should never be ok. If you suspend the rig to protest often that leads to violence since people can’t unleash that energy through protesting.

Here in colombia when you order any size fries from McD’s they are only a small amount. Doesn’t matter if you order large or small. Always a small amount. It makes me sad because their fries are really good even though they’re fake.

They do. Just not the versions we eat. Those are genetic clones and are propagated seedlessly. If you look closely sometimes you can see undeveloped seeds in bananas. They’re the little black dots near the center that you see sometimes.
Here is a picture of a land race banana with seeds:

The theory that the universe was seeded with banana life by an intergalactic precursor race of bananas?

- Comment on Rainbow Six Siege ravaged by massive server breach that gave its players billions of paid currency for free 1 week ago:
That’s not how you’d do it. You can refund anyone who made purchases during the time frame you want to roll back since I highly doubt the game state database is the same as the microtransactions database. Then you revert the server to its previous state. Everyone loses everything they did during the rollback period but the server is stable as it was at the earlier time and in the original state.
Also wow added microtransactions in 2010 and they definitely had rollbacks after they added the microtransaction because it happened to my character once in Mist of Pandaria.
- Comment on Rainbow Six Siege ravaged by massive server breach that gave its players billions of paid currency for free 1 week ago:
I don’t expect a game server would be prepared to handle out of the box
Which is why I was wondering why they don’t use a system like that. WoW was having rollbacks in 2006 so not to have them in another game developed 2 decades later? That seems idiotic to me.

as those who had spent the fraudulent funds could be liable for a ban
Yeah, I’m sure that’ll endear the playerbase to you guys.
Why wouldn’t you be using a type of system with rollbacks? WoW used to have rollbacks (return the server state to an earlier state) for when shit went absolutely insane. They didn’t happen often but it was a lot better than having a few people’s ill gotten gains ruining the economy.
- Comment on Dying Light 1 week ago:
I’ve beaten the game. There are new weapons (i think you get 6 main weapons and 5 ghost weapons) and a wolf companion but it’s pretty much the same. I really liked this one and the original. The story is weaker in Yotei but i enjoy the combat enough that it doesn’t bother me much.

policing how people use words to uphold some „purity“ of language
Pretty much every language besides english has an institute dedicated to doing that exact thing. In spanish it’s the Royal Spanish Academy (La Real Academia Española).

Those are called intercalary months. They had them in the ancient egyptian calendar and were usually used for rest and religious ceremonies.

In the 2020s, books were written entirely with computer based writing tools.
It’s called vim.

I had to sleep outside in a snow storm without a tent once for the army. It was to teach you that you only need your fart sack and you’re good to go.
I can’t imagine sleeping outdoors without tent or sleeping bag.

I think you’ve replied to the wrong person since my comment is about assuming genders of people on the internet not wreckers on the internet whatever that might be.
- Comment on Dude read the rules of woman only community and decided to post anyway 1 month ago:
The issue being what? And how did I deflect? I refuted their comment, that’s not a deflection, that’s showing how dumb it is to claim you are anything since people can claim to be anything on the internet.
Now I’m a ghost and will start a ghost only community.

Funny how some people downvote even the most innocuous comments.
You can assume my gender or race all you want. It doesn’t make you right.
