What difference would it even make if they attended this useless greenwashing feel-good event, if that attendence never seems to be followed up by any meaningful action?

Remember not to be black.

Funny, he is still entirely worthless to me, net or otherwise.

Well, a punch in the face is a pretty clear communication, just with a very limited vocabulary.

Another one that I love roasted

Just don't try that with white asparagus, that really needs to be cooked IMHO.

The 4B movement predominantly sees transgender rights movements as incompatible with feminism

Interesting, that his since been deleted from the Wikipedia article.

He was in so many different movies and shows, and he always brought so much presence. I will miss him.

Edit: he, not I.

not understanding why I’d have to kill everyone around after making this choice (Maman Brigitte for instance)

That actually happened to me, too. Luckily, I didn't mind too much, but yeah, it was a bit of a surprise.

Love it to pieces. Paid absolutely no attention to it before it was released, and due to some friendly advice from an online mate, waited a few months before picking it up, when most of the really bad bugs were already ironed out.

I love pretty much everything about it:

  • The score. The music is just so fantastic.
  • The settings. Brilliant. Any RPG that isn't set in a plain vanilla fantasy world already has a big advantage when it comes to my affection, but this setting is just super cool.
  • The representation. Absolutely not in-your-face, yet so much there.
  • The world building. I think they paid absolutely absurd attention to details, like "where does everyone's food come from" and "where does everybody's garbage go".
  • The story. I like it.
  • The characters. They feel relatable and their motivation makes sense, which is not always the case in many games. I find myself caring about (some of) them.
  • The quests. I like them.
  • The combat. It started out okay, but now, it is so much fun. I absolutely love what they have done with it after 2.0. I love being able to actually throw people at each others. I love the various melee finishers. I love the cyberware. I love using the wrist rocket launcher to blow up attacking cars. I love being able to throw knifes and axes without constly having to craft more. I love all of it.
  • The mods. I love what dedicated modders have done to make a good game into a really really great game. There are such fantastic mods for this game, it keeps bogging my mind.

So yeah, love it to pieces, and absolutely one of my all time favorite games.

In 2006, a movie was released in which an evil AI is defeated by Shia LeBouf.

I actually really liked that, too. Fudge the critics!

“they can’t rely on the left to support them”

Worse, they do not want to. That would be bad for their billionaire buddies. The same buddies that funnel untold millions to both parties at the same time, to ensure they get what they want either way.

They will not. They will do what they always do:

  • rely on people being pissed off enough after four years of Rep rule to vote for the Dems no matter what
  • rely on a few select 'free' topics (abortion, LGBTQIA+ rights etc) to show how different they are, when they are mostly exactly the same when it comes to topics that matter to most voters daily (ie topics that affect them personally, like their own economic situation)

I recon the only thing that could actually make them shift to the left is strong opposition from the left, basically a left Ross Perot, if you want. One that collects all the votes of the people who were too disillusioned this time around to actually vote, and then basically says "Shift to the left enough, be a real alternative, and you can have these". Without someone or a party like that, no, they will not change. They will continue to further the interests of billionaires, just like the Reps.
