Why?

It’s been the term for well over a decade. Which is when I learned about the term in college. First, second, and third world are western centric ways to talk about the alliances of Cold War countries. First world was the US, Western Europe and their allies. Second world was the communist countries, and third world was the rest of them.

Third World is a defunct term. The current nomenclature is “underdeveloped.”

Better than having nothing which is the current situation.

It’s fine for tv, but it causes input delay for video games.

This is likely to prevent people from cutting the plants and later saying they picked up a fallen bit.

People in the replies not realizing how much support the us has given to Ukraine or how much military capability Ukraine has on its own.

Ok, but that’s still better than each of them coming in, in their own cars.

I’m with you on this. Marvel Rivals feels off/ cheap in a way I don’t really know how to articulate.

Then who should be the one deciding what gets censored and how?

Hate speech is not protected by the constitution and is typically a point of proof in hate crime cases. There are also civil remedies for directed hate speech in many states. Also assault is a crime that only involves words.

We allow generalized hate speech because we believe that the appropriate counter to speech is speech.

“If there be time to expose through discussion, the falsehoods and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence.” - Justice Louis D. Brandeis

They want everyone to know who they are and what they are doing at all times, and they have no sense of shame when they should.

Yes, but no PT.

Where is “here?”

Skyrim for the mods.

Why not? It sets expectations for the rest of us.

That is true for private locations, that is not true for public locations. Most places definition of public intox includes alcohol or any other drugs.

I have read the Subscriber Agreement, most of it is standard legal boilerplate. I don’t see anything about collection of data. Steam is a vehicle for capitalism, no one has claimed otherwise.

They do provide a good service. There’s no subscription fee. They maintain delisted games so you can download games you bought years ago that are no longer available. Not to mention steam OS and other projects like the steam deck that put pressure on other gaming companies to do better.

This could go up in a cloud of smoke at any point and it likely will as soon as Gabe passes on and the in fighting begins. So this is a “good king” situation and the system itself will not be sustainable long term by any means.

Whatever definition of “liberal democratic system” you are using is very narrow and not the norm. Marijuana is illegal in most of the world especially for non medical uses. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_cannabis

Just because a thing is common wherever you live doesn’t mean it’s not illegal, and some jack ass cop won’t decide to make you spend a night in jail.
