You will be happy to hear they still use halberds instead.

Lovecraftian art is inspired by the tone and the mystery of Lovecrafts works and not by his racism.

But that aside I didn't downvote you for your first sentence.
I personally wouldn't even have downvoted you for your second sentence, even though I strongly disagree with it.

I downvoted you for your edit, which ironically is totally tone deaf.
Noone downvoted the fact, that you called the dude some stuff. You got downvoted for attacking Valve over an innocent sale of supernatural mystery games.

Man how nice ranked choice would be, or even better a system like France's or Germany's.

I thought it had some super intrusive anticheat.

How does the deck handle something like that?

Ich kann natürlich auch nur für die Zeit sprechen, als ich dort war.
Aber damals war ich positiv überrascht, dass ich als ziemlich linke Socke relativ viele ähnlich gesinnte dort treffen konnte.

Wie gesagt alles relativ und klar gab es da auch viel klassisch Konservatives, alles voll mit Beamten halt.
Aber auf den Studiparties am Campus wären Sprechchöre mit "Deutschland den Deutschen" oder vergleichbar ekligen Sprüchen tatsächlich undenkbar gewesen.

That's such a stupid take, I am not even sure where to start responding.

Of the many, many, many things one might reply I will just pick the simple facts that a sugary drink alone doesn't kill anyone and cars have a real and tangible use to our society, while selling murder-tools at Walmart does not.

And btw I am very much in favor of measures to reduce the damages caused by the sugar industry and putting strict restrictions on dangerous traffic.

Is he now just going the Rohrabacher route of openly corrupt treason?

Rechte setzen und framen Themen die ihnen passen ohne Rücksicht auf die Tatsachen.
Die Linke hat im großen und ganzen nicht genug Eier dem effektiv entgegenzustehen.

Zu viele Medien in der "Mitte" greifen die rechten Themen dankbar auf.

Beispiel Lampedusa, da sind gerade in den letzten Tagen mehr Boote angekommen, weil aufgrund der Wetterbedingungen die Wochen davor weniger Boote ankamen.
Rate mal über welche Hälfte dieses Nullsummenspiels tagelang berichtet wurde.

Und nicht falsch verstehen, was auf Lampedusa abgeht ist absolut schrecklich; aber die italienische Regierung ist sicher nicht das Opfer hier.

What a stupid argument to make.

I don't have to let another person (asylum seeking or not) into my personal private space to argue for them to have humane conditions.

What do you even want to say?

Depends on how many artists work I choose to avoid.

Right now there is one.
Her books meant a lot to me through my youth but I don't really miss any of the newer stuff that I don't consume.
And there are enough other books to read.

And before I get called hypocritical for not avoiding other, arguably worse, artists, it's not like I actively seek out stuff to boycott.
Rowling just actively inserted herself into a public conversation and now that I lost all respect for her I can't really enjoy her art anymore.

That's too bad for me, but the movies turned to shit anyway, so I guess I just stick to art, that brings me more joy.

An oldie but a goodie.

Einerseits ist das halt sein Job in dem Amt, was soll er machen.

Andererseits hätte er das Amt nicht annehmen müssen, wenn er kein Arschloch wäre.
