There is absolutely no excuse for any Democrat asked about trans athletes to ever respond with anything but “why are you wasting my time asking about FEWER THAN FIFTEEN CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WHO WANT TO PLAY GAMES WITH THEIR FRIENDS. What is wrong with you?”

Everyone who profits off of sowing the seeds of fascism in a tongue in cheek, wink and a gun, just asking questions type of way will pivot back center once the fruits of their labor have matured because that allows them to continue to profit.

They all do this man. There are like 50 guys doing this.

One nice thing about Boston Dyke March being an anti-corporate pride that takes no money from corporations is: they have no veto power over our event.

There’s nobody who can pull out on us or “back away” and kill the event.

We’ve never needed them. Time to remember that.
corporations bailing on supporting lgbtq+ organizations out of fear of getting attacked by the trump admin is exactly why longtime activists have criticized the hollow corporatization of pride and advocated for grassroots pride events.

I was actually getting excited for this one, despite Randy. I made the decision in my head to go ahead and get this one and then he said this and completely deflated my interest.
Randy Pitchford said that a "real fan" will find a way to pay $80 for a game.

I broke down how utterly unaffordable $80 is for at least 37 million people in the United States.

Am I reading this wrong or does this person sound like they hate indie games and their devs?

The 'deprofessionalization of video games' was on full display at PAX East
PAX East felt like a warning: explosively successful games by solo devs and small teams are great, but it could lead to a dearth of vital specialists.

i really really hate how many people on the left are responding to good advice on dealing with ICE with "so they don't abide by the law anyway"

ignore people who tell you not to take basic safety precautions like knowing your rights.

those people aren't your friends
For everyone saying this doesn't matter because ICE doesn't follow the law:

1. They want you to think knowing your rights makes no difference when we know for a fact it does. How do we know that? Because Homan himself said people knowing their rights cost then hundreds of arrests in Chicago.
If you are stopped by Trump's ICE goons, or any other kind of cops:

I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT.

Memorize it.

And don't let ICE in without a JUDICIAL warrant. No, administrative warrants don't count.

it was not right that Hasan was stopped however his encounter seems to have ended when he asked if he was being detained. if this happens to you the script is simple

am I being detained?

If no: may I go

If yes: invoke the 5th

"Don't worry, I've got a good feeling about this!" is objectively top-tier comedic dialogue to put in your video game.

Anyway, I'm excited for this Battle Suit Aces demo

5yo: Papa, lego Charizard is sad because hes never been to the park and wants to go.

Me: oh did you tell him if we bring him that pieces of him could fall off and get lost?

5yo: yeah...
