Fable II was the perfect intersection of jank weirdness and genuine good-game-ness

I’m no expert but Wikipedia says 15m is wounding range? I’m just wondering cos I don’t know if you can throw a grenade more than 50m

He didn’t get banned, he ran again, won the first round and lost the second round

No - George Simion won the first round of the election with 22.9% of the vote.

This was annulled as you say due to Russian election interference.

Then it was ran back and he won the first round again.

Then in the second round, the runoff, he lost. That’s what just happened.

You can argue that you shouldn’t annul elections due to interference, if you want to you can even argue that this was a pro-Europe conspiracy

But factually he at no point won the election, and when they reran the first round he was not only still a candidate, his vote share actually increased.

But he still lost the second round.

So if you ask me this coup theory doesn’t hold much water

I’m the same, I couldn’t be bothered this time so I told him I wouldn’t help. Didnt know he was gonna do that, I feel guilty now. But I like to role play so hey it’s just more lore for my character

Irregardless, I think their making a joke

Where do many of these students come from, who are they, how do they get into Harvard, or even our country - and why is there so much HATE?

The Harvard Corporation is run by strongly left-leaning Obama political appointee Penny Pritzker, a Democrat Operative, who is catastrophic

What a completely normal and professional letter

He didn’t take out the cop that killed his son, he drove into a random deputy on traffic duty.

And this incident happened the morning after his son was killed - although I agree there’s never much hope for the system to police itself, this was too soon for any prosecutors or judges or anyone to have failed to hold the cop accountable

1968? There were literally riots

The loss was perceived to be the result of Johnson and Daley influencing behind the scenes. Humphrey, who had not entered any of the thirteen state primary elections, won the Democratic nomination shortly after midnight, and many delegates shouted, “No! No!” when his victory was announced

law forbids Christians from following Christ’s example

These people have really just reimagined everything about Jesus, and it’s nuts

But the downside is that technically, regardless of what mechanism would trigger the dissolution of parliament, this has to be requested to and accepted by the King, who then sends out Writs of Electors

Of course in practice this is a rubber stamp tradition with no chance of not happening - if Charles went mad and tried to prevent this we would likely still have an election just with a side order of constitutional crisis and a wave of republicanism

But it’s still dumb

It is how you use it, even if you don’t mean to.

If you use ‘gay’ as an insult, that doesn’t become OK if you only say it to straight people. It’s still some massive drive by homophobia.

The reason to stop using this as an insult isn’t to protect the people you’re insulting, it’s to protect a third group which has a dark history with the word

But language changes and evolves, and words get imbued with additional meanings over time through a bunch of complicated factors and contexts.

Just because ‘idiot’ and ‘retard’ were used similarly once, doesn’t mean they’re the same now

We don’t need to fully understand the process in which the word has changed to know that lots of people find it particularly insulting, degrading and oppressive, and to decide to stop using it because of this
