Funny you'd mention that adage because the people getting sent to concentration camps are hispanics by ICEsatsgruppe. Leave it to amis to grandstand while missing the point...

Everyone who questions your orthodoxy is a nazi, got it. That type of reasoning has worked wonderfully for everyone and resulted in better government and standards of living for all trans people. Wonderful job you've done protecting trans people in your country, the results really show.

I'm saying precisely the opposite, but nice testament to Godwin's law. Your reply is a nice example of the "phobes" point I had previously mentioned.

Everything from Hollywood is now an ad for wegovy.

Manufactured consent.

Legal scholar John Inazu characterized the backlash as "widespread outrage from progressive commentators" and that in some criticisms, "ad hominem attacks far outpaced their substantive critiques".[13]

US americans are largely the same, be it trumpers or self styled liberals, they always have to be "better than" or "the best" of something. This leads to dangerous orthodoxies that don't allow debate or discussion which furter leads to stances that are nothing but distilled anti-intellectualism. The trumpers call everything woke, the liberals call everything phobe. Meanwhile the overton window has moved so far to the right, the country elected a pedophile scam artist as president because they know him from TV and the rest of the world is left holding the bag.

Don't waste money on an xbox controller. Get a Dual Sense or an 8bitDo

Corporate management types are not organically recruited from experienced labour, they are from the "brahmin" echelons of society. Not only do they not understand that not all man hours are different, they have no clue of what is going on since they are recruited because of their pedigree and not competence.

For years I've been warning whoever would listen that XboxGP, much like any other content subscription service owned by a public company would inevitably lead to a massive consumer squeeze. Fortunately it happened before MS managed to metastasise into a monopoly in gaming too. Good riddance.

That's who you always were, at least, for anyone outside looking in. That's why you still let people perish from treatable diseases and gun violence when the civilized world has mostly left those problems behind.

This thread is the most dystopian #firstworldproblems I've seen recently. Especially considering hunger is still (and back to increasing) a significant burden on the global south.
