You're supposed to be shooting at a dangerous crowd, not an individual. You don't need to accurately get the right angle you just need to generally aim in the right direction, but at the ground, and I'll bounce and hit someone. The fact they're choosing not to do this either indicates poor training or malice.

I know. I'm just saying the name being deliberate doesn't mean it's accurate. In this case I would say it is, but "the patriot act" is also deliberately chosen, but it's deceptive.

He probably thinks it isn't gay if the guy is named Jesus though.

It's incredibly uncommon, but yes it has been done before. I think it's unlikely they were referencing these incredibly uncommon medals.

A dog whistle is something most people won't hear/see, but those in the know will. Like an actual dog whistle; a whistle that's higher pitch than humans can hear but dogs can.

Not that I agree, but the logic is that the name is deceptive and they're just against Trump I assume. Just like a "protect the children" act has nothing to do with protecting children. Names aren't necessarily accurate.

Especially since those troops are representing the Vietnam War. You know, the know he dodged the draft for.

If the game has you host servers yourself, you can pretty much always use a pirated copy. If they could detect the piracy on your computer anyway they would already be blocking you from playing. If you connect to a server they host then they could have extra verification, but if you're hosting it then it's not going to be anything that isn't already being checked to prevent piracy.

To make you more hopeful, they have to constantly fight to keep these systems of oppression in place. We win if/when this stops. All we have to do is keep fighting them. Make them work to oppress us, and it'll crumble.

Yes, but the media is going to turn this into an "anti-tourist" thing to turn people against them, even though they explicitly state that isn't the purpose.

If this is what I think it is, it's also highly selective in what to include. If it wasn't successful it's not included, for some reason or another. It's somewhat useful, but it's far from being a rule.

Grifters, who don't care but act like they do for money.

Astrofurfing, who are being paid to say things.

Bots, who aren't people so can't attend.

I hope this isn't the case, but the timing of the movies is really good to get people into Dune. They'll need the books to fully understand the parallels though.

Hopefully Trump doesn't do the things we suspect he'll do based on what he's said, but, if he does, hopefully it's a moment humanity can learn from (again). Hopefully we come out of this and people stop trusting charismatic leaders. Dune may be more relevant than ever.
