Wouldn't the Yugoslavia War with bombing from NATO at least compete for the title of "bloodiest European war"?

Online games will now be banned from giving players rewards if they log in every day, if they spend on the game for the first time or if they spend several times on the game consecutively. All are common incentive mechanisms in online games.

As a person who is very prone to game addiction, to the point where I refuse to play online games, this is a very welcome change. Hope the pressure impacts companies abroad.

Depending on how receptive he is (and I'm assuming he's a Yankee), send him some Parenti material. You can either start coy with something like his talk about the "Assassination of Julius Caesar" book that's pretty tame, or just go straight for the Yellow one or Blackshirts and the Reds if you're feeling bold. Parenti has a way with words and is more relatable with his New York accent than translated books from distant or long-dead communists.

And always make sure to ask what he thinks, make it a conversation not a one-sided lecture. Eventually he'll say something you don't know about yet, so don't dismiss it out of hand, but try to investigate his claims with him. If all goes well you'll both come out of it wiser.

So long as you are not confrontational and keep it respectful and educational, and most importantly acknowledge when you don't know something you shouldn't fear making him mad. Because if you do it with kindness and he still gets mad, that's all on him for not being respectful back. That's a bad sign for the friendship, not just the political divergences.

Ewoks shouldn't have fought back, they should've led peaceful protests to vote the Emperor out.

This feels like a part of federation history.

What are some other content creators or groups that you recommend or "consume" a lot of, but specifically ones that you think don't get that much attention? Like those random great YouTube channels with 500 subscribers.

Tinder has rolled out its promised high-end membership, a pricey $499 per month subscription dubbed “Tinder Select,” which includes unique perks like the ability to be seen by more users, including Tinder’s “most sought after profiles,” the ability to direct message others without matching and other VIP-level features.

This could not go wrong in any way at all. Imagine being sued for ignoring abuse reports, and deciding to monetise the abuse itself.

There are usually half a million homeless people in the USA. That means that they could've bought each and every one of those a 200k dollar home with that money. They could also have paid a total of 50 million months of rent at the 2000$ median price. And this is even taking as a premise that housing should be sellable or rentable in the first place. And yet they preferred this instead.

Any Yankee around still not convinced that the USA government needs to end, this is your moment to reconsider.

They could call it "The International Community"

The article doesn't go into detail on that, so I just kinda guessed. I doubt that those "bribes" are only from bourgies since the demand to getting the fuck out is usually pretty high during war, and even some labour aristocracy folks (engineers, programmers, medics) could afford to go out. It's not some fantastic victory of socialism, but I prefer that over those same people getting conscripted to die in the front for nothing.

Though I could be wrong, are there ~~less trash~~ better sources than the Beeb on this that go deeper?

So it's yellow filter for Latin America and grey filter for China, while Northwest gets full saturation. Very subtle change but incredibly annoying.

Film workers will get better working conditions, and we won't have more buzz about Marvel movies. It's a win-win.

Also a good amount of productions were already halted due to the WGA strike that has been ongoing for 70 days. Unionize, y'all!

Ah yes, war in Ukraine, very relevant to the climate crisis. I think she's gone the "Neil de Grasse Tyson way" of being famous for a thing and just hopping onto whatever is tangentially related and popular right now. Disappointing, but what would you expect from lib group that thinks they invented striking, and have no tangible demands? She's not relevant and the only reason libs think she is is because she's a white European who obeys the law. Go ask what they think of the (still very mild) Extinction Rebellion.
