Nope, it has a protective case all around.

Right, plus car keys.

Earbud case and home keys on the left.

There's those who commit unintended mistakes, then there's those who give in to the temptation of behaving badly in their moments of weakness, and then there's those who can't wait for any given opportunity to behave maliciously and justify it by saying they aren't the only ones doing it.

Hey, don't judge me for commiting ethnic cleansing! Hitler did it as well, after all! And that one single bad apple in your group is mildly racist as well, so you're no better!

Yes by me.

Console gamer here as well, though with a PC and redeeming my weekly Epic Games since a few years back. I sometimes play on my PC, but mostly games I don't have on my console.

Most of what I hear I believe it's mostly due to the Epic Launcher being quite a bit behind standard, and the store not having great costumer service policies. I think Epic's games with timed exclusivity don't garner a lot of respect from the gaming community either, as they rather have freedom of choice to purchase their games on their main storefront.

Now, I think it'll be obvious, but all of what I mentioned is further impacted by the comparison between Epic (or most other launchers, really) and Steam. Steam might as well be called the "default launcher" at this point, and naturally not everyone can compete (or they don't want to) with the numerous and consistently good business decisions Steam tends to have, which keeps it in the top.

Not only that, and even though I still benefit from it, I'd say Epic's strategy of offering weekly free games might feel like a sort of 'obvious bribe' to some, a cheap way to try and vainly make gamers turn on their main competitor. Which isn't really moving the needle that much, because gamers preference for Steam isn't due to free games, but good and consumer-oriented business practices.

I'm sure from gamer to gamer there's more depth to this, but I'd say that's the gist of it.

Well, Europe welcomes them, their talents and their research. And it's a stable place, which in any other circumstance would just be the bare minimum instead of an actual benefit.

What better way to manipulate someone with self-worth issues who must flaunt his "power" and "wealth" to "prove others wrong" than stroking his fragile ego?

Small pp energy. Or rather, botched pp energy in this specific case.

Same for the Trump and co. axis of evil - a bunch of adult children with ego issues wanting revenge on the world that belittled or thwarted their constant schemes, all banded together.

Oh shoot. What did Biden do this time? Who's constantly letting him sneak back into the White House to sign random stuff with the DJT signature?

So I learned today that, supposedly, 86 is a really old code:

According to Merriam-Webster, “86” is used as a colloquial term meaning “to throw out,” “to get rid of,” or “to refuse service to.”

As for 47, that'd be Trump, the 47th POTUS. So, in essence, and despite debate on its actual intended meaning in this context, it could be perceived as "take out" "the 47th" - 86 47.

God damn, being true... I consider myself quite the imaginative and creative person, but these folks have me beat.

Still, props to these people - if they applied all this creativity and effort for good instead of evil, we'd already be living in an utopia, there wouldn't be hunger or poverty in the world, I dare say. Instead we're gliding down into dystopia.

Just when you think we've hit rock bottom they'll yet again prove you wrong - as they say, "where there's a will, there's a way", especially for evil.

Yes. Minimum wage is supposed to cover every basic living necessity at the very least - from rent to food to even a modest amount of leftover money meant for a bit of fun here and there. It's not supposed to allow a lavish lifestyle or allow one to eat at restaurants every day, obviously, but it should allow you to live modestly and support your household regardless of you living with others or alone.

So for these McDonald's overlords who live lavish livestyles thanks to the thankless work these workers put in, then why should they even work at a McDonald's in the first place? With inflation constantly rising and wages staying where they are someday even a McDonald's job won't be worth the hassle for the non-livable pitance of money they receive in return.

Down with overly rich billionaires living off other people's misery. If your business allows for you to live the most lavish and extravagant life while your workers barely have enough to make ends meet, you are not a successful businessperson, but a grifter to society and use your power to keep the status quo as it currently is. Flipping burgers on a McDonald's or working in garbage disposal are still essential jobs to serve society, and people are needed for them.

So they should still be properly valued and compensated as humans trying to live their lives while they supply the vital workforce for those same jobs - those positions have to be filled anyway and are of importance to society at large, so let's not pretend we don't need people for them and treat them like less-than-humans. Plain and simple - there's more than enough for the rich to still be rich and live their lavish lives while regular people maintain a satisfactory level of life, and no need to ghoulishly hoard all the wealth (in many cases through tax loopholes which should not be legal whatsoever) like they were gonna live eternally.

And no, I'm not a minimum wage worker, so with this I'm not advocating for myself, but for what's right for us as a society.

Damn, for a lake bragging about making things wet that was some sick burn.
