Yeah, this one definitely deserves to be unpopular. They’ve always been minifigs, they’ll always be minifigs, you don’t mess with perfection.

She’s doing exactly the same thing the dude you just accused of oppression is doing.

The main difference is that she has billions of dollars to promote her perspective, and millions of followers that listen to what she has to say. The dude “oppressing” her in this situation is just some random nobody on a site that might as well not even exist for all the cultural power it wields.

You had a pretty reasonable argument on the first post, but this took a hard turn into bullshit real quick.

It’s vaguely referenced in The Last Jedi, but it doesn’t really go anywhere. Finn discovers the dude they stole the ship from was selling military hardware to both sides, and that’s basically all it ever comes up.

It is more of a big theme in the prequels, where you have the constant undercurrent of Palpatine orchestrating the conflict and driving the war machine for both sides. It comes up a lot in the Clone Wars show. But even then it’s not really about both sides driving perpetual war so much as how he used civil unrest to justify a proxy war to solidify his own power.

Are you seriously complaining about requiring a signature? Why should weed paraphernalia be treated any differently to tobacco?

Why? Like, I generally draw a pretty hard line with predatory games, but this just seems pointless. There’s nothing you can get from the MTX that you can’t easily get through normal gameplay. It’s admittedly a trap for the ignorant, but a pretty pointless one.

I get ‘useful’ stuff from AI all the time. Nothing major, but little timesavers, unique character art for a DnD game, language and grammar suggestions when I’m writing short stories with my wife. That kinda thing.

Crypto offers me nothing. I have absolutely no use case for an average person’s life. I’m sure there are businesses that can utilize crypto to some benefit, but frankly I couldn’t care less about their ability to hide money and evade taxes.

Except you’re both fundamentally wrong about how data center cooling works. It’s not closed loop water cooling, they use evaporative cooling by misting the cooling air. There’s no ‘great distraction’ here, just some attention to one of very many problems with how we run large data centers.

It doesn’t need to be forced. All that’s needed is education and easy access to birth control. There’s a reason birthrates are declining in virtually all developed countries. When given a real, educated choice, the vast majority of women choose to have fewer children.

It’s 3700 pieces. Frankly considering the license I was expecting it to be much worse.

This is 360 for a 3700 piece set, under the .10 per piece rule of thumb that Lego has loosely hovered around since the 90s. It’s pricey cause it’s huge.

That’s literally the entire point of making the distinction between throwing away bottles with the cap and without. What did you think this was about?

Feel free to try it out yourself, but people bring this up for a reason. You are wildly underestimating the strength of thin plastics.

Technically true, but kinda pointless to bring up here. It’s a thin layer that’s vaporized during recycling. Not exactly comparable to a plastic bottle containing tens of thousands of times more plastic that’s probably gonna sit in a landfill shedding plastic bits for the next 100,000 years.

A bottle full of air rolls when stepped on, with no cap they just squish flat.

It is ‘cringe’ to blame any oppressed group of people for being oppressed, that’s the whole point.

Does South African persecution of whites suddenly undo what black people in America have suffered through? Of fucking course not, that’s idiocy.

The fact that a very few atheist states were established in the last century, and a few of them have been oppressive to the religious in that state, does not magically undo thousands of years of persecution. Especially when Atheists are still persecuted and put to death. There are nearly as many countries today that still criminalize atheism (13 total) as there have been atheist states throughout all of recorded history (~20 depending on how picky you want to be).

Gamepass is fully usable on PC too, fyi. It’s pretty well done, your saves carry over and everything.

Maybe if the (blacks/gays/women/etc) weren’t so loud and in your face, we could accept them as equals.

Go fuck yourself with the horse you rode in on. This some high level ignorant shit for someone that claims to be so spiritually enlightened. You need to reexamine your biases.

The weed is far better at that. Still, at least I have enough sense to know what an opinion is.

Not an opinion, just an ignorant statement of fact.

Obviously, most of Mega’s traffic is piracy, they have no interest in doing that. The point is it’s an actual comparison instead of the nonsense you brought up.

Of course no individual site is going to singlehandedly stop criminal acts. Glad you agree it would be exactly as effective as I suggested.
