Screw the lawyers, Donald. Commit another crime.

This says 10 indictments, and it's 4 minutes old.

That game...had brutal hit boxes. You could blow people's legs off. I played a lotta pvp but not that mode.

That sounds nice, but Shell has been broadcasting all matter of pro-environmental messaging for decades while continuing to fuck the planet up.

If I had to guess, this is a variation on a theme. As long as planes need fossil fuels to fly, they're bad new. Fixing one part is a distraction.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is certainly the latest and most prominent example, but Elden Ring, both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. The Witcher 3. The Last of Us Part 1 and 2. No cash shops, substantive DLC, if there is any.

And what do all those games have in common?

They're solo games.

It's PvP and MMOs where you can purchase an advantage, show off your bling, or purchase expansions to get a head start on the competition. That is where the microtransaction infestation occurs.

People who die while driving are almost all die by accident.

People who get shot are far more likely to be killed intentionally.

What kind of tabloid garbage source is this?

What sub were you moderating?

Something big like r/videos or something small like r/Iputdoritoesinmyshoes?

I'm pretty sure the sitewide admins have a bot that detects ban evasion. The mods share the message with you, it's the same message on every sub.

A year ago, I was banned from r/politics after accruing about 450k karma from that sub alone.

I had a temporary ban of 3 days for some choice words I shared with a Trumpist.

A couple of days after the ban ended, I got perma-banned for violating the previous ban, which I didn't think I did. When I asked the mod team, they responded that reddit AI or a bot had detected it. They gave me a link that said the bot does detections but is not 100% perfect. I asked for evidence. They refused because they didn't want to reveal how the bot worked. They told me I could contact reddit admin instead. Reddit admin responded that I could contact the mod team for that sub... That was some Kafka-esque shit.

In any event, the perma-ban came with the threat that I would face a sitewide ban if I tried to evade the ban. The mods can't do that, but reddit admin can.

I assume they are looking for other accounts with the same IP address to detect ban evasions.
