What kind of people target the Internet Archive? I don't have an X account so does anyone know what the hackers' mission statement is?

As an asexual woman who loves badminton, can confirm. It's definitely not a sport that can involve running around in tight clothing getting sweaty.

Not to mention a testimony from a man he was dating in Toronto.

I miss Brooke. 😭

Fantastic article, thanks for sharing. I'm disappointed in the EFF's stance here. I understand the reasoning but I don't feel that such hateful, dangerous speech is a good candidate for this argument. (Hateful and dangerous as in actual deaths have occurred from this.)

Disclaimer: I also had a lot of fun with this game but I got it for free with a graphics card.

Part of it was getting rid of the old beloved characters. Shaundi, Pierce, etc. were well loved among fans and sorely missed when the game out. People found the new characters boring and generic, but I don't know if that criticism survived past the release stage.

It also released with quite a few game breaking bugs which had to be ironed out. Par for the course with big budget games these days, frankly.

As a fan of SR3 and SR4, I missed the zaniness of those entries, but that wasn't a common feeling among fans of SR2.

A lot of people hated it for how "woke" it apparently was by having... people of color in it? Commentary about racism and feminism or something? I don't know, it's been a while since I played so I can't recall any instances in particular of it being "woke" enough to offend people who care about that. As a woke SJW myself, I felt it was pretty good on that front without being overbearing.

How scalable is this? Would the average recycle plant worker be able to do it themselves? Would each recycle plant be equipped with one of these ovens or would it require an overhaul of our recycling system?

Ah, yes, because being trans definitely has a bearing on whether or not you're good at chess. These totally aren't just explicitly transphobic policies enacted by bigoted old men. I would also like to point out that the current president of FIDE is the former deputy prime minister of Russia. Not that Russian people are all transphobic, but I wonder if some of Putin's influence isn't in this decision.

At a legitimate website, the developer(s) and publisher(s) make money for each key purchased and every key is legal to own, so there is little chance of a key being revoked and your account banned on your chosen storefront. At a grey market seller like G2A, they can sometimes get their keys illegally (credit card theft, stolen accounts, etc.). So because GMG, Fanatical, Humble, IndiaGala, etc. are all legitimate resellers, they buy their keys directly from the source (usually the publisher or storefront where they are redeemed, but that's just my guess). Apologies if that's not what you were asking.

I think the point is that they shove so much unreasonable stuff into a single bill that if Democrats want to pass any of it, they must capitulate to some of the Republicans' wants. So a long period of negotiation will begin where Democrats will successfully get some of these additions removed, and an agreement is eventually reached where some of these poison pills will remain.

Unfortunately, Republicans would never agree to pass a bill without some of their additions in it, and most Democrats are not willing to dig in their heels and resist.

I'm pretty appalled that women are half the population and make up such a small percentage of movie roles. Not that it's new information, it's just frustrating.

The problem is that online storefronts all lease (edit: it's actually license) you the games you own until your account is terminated. I miss actually owning media.
