MMR January 17 2024 - "We're Not a Racist Country!"

What could possibly go wrong?? Forgot - we're talking white people here....

Don’t tell them you’re bigger than Jesus

…What’s important to recognize here is that reactionary politics, political authoritarianism, white supremacy, and evangelical Christianity are all intimately related to each other in early 21st century America. The “paradox” of Donald Trump becoming the cult-like and even messianic figure at the head of pietistic authoritarian white supremacist reaction in our culture is only a paradox if you ignore how closely all these things are connected to each other.

Does this mean that it'll kill us??

Apparently Texas national guardsmen prevented border agents from rescuing migrants in distress, trying to cross a river. The bodies of 1 woman, 33 and her two kids, 10 and younger, were found dead.

Pro life ammiright?

Rachel Notley steps down as leader of Alberta NDP

In just her first election as party leader, she won more seats than all 12 prior elections *combined* and took the NDP from the forgettable 4th party of 4 elected parties to the undisputed second party and the most competitive opposition party in the history of the province.

If he goes after her, Trump can go after Chutkan and Smith would rather have Chutkan in DC and get that trial through first and let Cannon's bullshit get turned over on appeal.

A lot of that depends on your immunity level from prior infections and vaccination status:

I could never lie like that. I could never be so insincere. I clearly do not have the sociopathy of your average GOPer.

Israel has always wanted to escalate this into a regional war with Syria, but of course want us to bare the brunt. I am sick and fucking tired of it.

Poor programming.

Imagine you release a game, 1.4 version, in full release and it just keep getting worse as they patch it. We're not talking about nerfs or anything. No we're talking about the AI getting dumber. Not like a little adjustment dumber. But lethal to your own side dumber.

These are not bugs and glitches - it is really shitty scripting that keep getting worse because the devs refuse to do the simplest fucking thing. TURN OFF OWN DAMAGE. They keep releasing micro patches saying 'we fixed this and that' and it gets actively worse. Like the opposite. No quality control. I mean it would take a dev or tester exactly 10 minutes to figure out that the shit they 'fixed' did the opposite - got worse.

The actual problem right now is that the AI is worse then it was during early access. And again, the easiest way they could do is to turn off damage.

Because they had to do it early on in the game for collisions between your own ships. The scripting and movements were so piss poor that ships kept hugging each others like bumper cars. And it has not been turned on since. Because they realized they couldn't script it so that ships don't smack into each others.

But, they should do the same with all damage. Such as guns and torpedoes because they are incapable of ensuring that the game understand not to fire torpedoes if there are any of your own ships that could potentially be hit. Before you could barely get the game to fire torpedoes because it was overly sensitive. Now it is back to early access shitty. Easiest fix? Again, just turn it off. The game is broken enough to even bother with it.

Most other games turn off own damage because either it ruins games (especially in real time combat) or is abused in PVP matches where some pissant on your team decide to team kill because they're sociopaths.
