Any chance you can go into detail as to why this is a game changer for you?

They are being downvoted because not only is this not a proper sponsorship - they grabbed a partener program link which AFAIK basically anyone can do. Proton is also not right leaning nor do they have a history of politically supporting such political figures. Yes, the CEO had that one tweet, no that one tweet does not make them right leaning. Anyone who thinks so is just reactionary, baiting, or being mislead.

Edit: proton appears to be working on an official response according to their reddit account. Edit2: proton response here: https://i.redd.it/6eac1cs9n26h1.jpeg Tl;Dr: they do have controls to keep them from being associated with political entities but those controls failed and they are working on it, while making sure to cut ties with this individual.

In interviews they have confirmed that spyro can swap between walking and free flight at will.

I'm still waiting for my future wife to break into my house and tell me we are now dating.

I mean... What's the price? If it has "lukewarm" performance but only has a "lukewarm" price, then its competitive.

Can you rotate it in your head though?

I ain't write a pass for shit, the article I linked said crime is a by-product of desparation and reducing desparation will reduce crime, being poor is a cause of desparation so a-b-c. I don't wamna type that all out because the middle piece didn't matter for the sake of the message "reducing poverty reduces the crime rate". Additionally, just because something has a traceable cause doesn't mean its excused or OK, don't draw that line on your own. I also didn't mention police once, so I don't wanna hear that either. That's a different conversation entirely that I feel we both also have a very similar opinion on. It seems you really just don't like the word poor being associated because you want to draw a line to me saying poor people are bad, but I'm not. I'm saying desperate people are more likely to take desperate measures. Doesn't matter what class you're in for that, but poor people are, hopefully unsurprisingly, a lot more likely to be in a desperate situation, and in there did I never say that this makes anyone a bad person nor did I excuse any behavior.

I literally just woke up, sorry for the extra sass.

Tl;dr: Poor people commit more crime

It's the natural order of things, but that doesn't mean its acceptable or should be the norm. I think its a very grounded argument to say that reducing poverty by improving social safety nets and ensuring that the lowest paying jobs can actually support someone would then decrease crime.

 

If you go into your match history or any counterstrike community you will see lots and lots of banned CS2 players. It seems the latest ban wave has some sort of mistake and lots of innocent players are involved. I am personally not banned but a few of my friends who were definitely not cheating were banned.

It also seems that playing a game right now has decent odds of banning you mid-game. There's lots of footage of this happening during mundane gunfights.

With the scale of this, there's no way they don't reverse most, if not all, bans in this wave. There's simply no way that this many players were actually cheating.

Just putting something here in case someone who avoids other social media wants to know what's going on.
