We've been given the choice between an insane fascist and an ethnic cleansing apologist. That the second is the "good" option is utterly shameful.

Given that the system is heavily skewed toward incumbency, your comment is a bit disingenuous. We both know that the DNC intended Biden to run. He had the advantage of thier coffers, thier PR machine, and the support of their leadership. Implying that the playing field was at all fair ignores reality.

I do agree, though, that Biden's many faults are his own. His most recent failure, support for ethnic cleansing and denial of aid to refugees, should have made him unelectable by the party that claims to be pro-human rights... but here we are, with him as the best of two terrible candidates.

I've played through a few times. Before you leave Act I, there is an explicit warning that doing so will close out story-based quests that are incomplete. Having said that, it only closes out the main story quests for the most part; I've gone back to do side quests frequently. Act I doesn't truly lock until you've unlocked the end of Act II.

That seems consistent with actual tabletop D&D; ignoring a time sensitive quest may net negative results.

Someone should tell Netanyahu that the list of human rights atrocities isn't a fucking pokedex. You're not supposed to collect them all.

Biden is talking out of both sides of his mouth. He hand wrings over refugees while cutting 350 million in aid to relief efforts. He pretends to seek a ceasefire while providing monetary and equipment to a campaign of ethnic cleansing.

That he is the "best" likely choice in the next US election is utterly embarrassing.

You misspelled "terrorists."

What happened: Israeli government began a campaign of ethnic cleansing.

What also happened: Terrorists, emboldened with the belief that they would not be punished, targeted innocent civilians for violence.

What finally happened: Nothing, authorities did fuckall because its exactly what they want to happen.

"No arrests were made."

That's because erasing Palestinians is the goal of the Israeli government. They will not be happy until all of the Palestinians have fled or are dead.

Sounds achingly familiar.

A slight majority of American support it. I, for one, do not. The margin of error is terrible and the govt is all too willing to cover up its mistakes.

Back in the paper spam days, some folk would stuff the "postage paid" envelopes with junk and mail them back to troll the companies. Setting up a junk address with an autoresponder would be pleasing, but probably would get tagged illegal.

Realistically is more or less encoded "without ending the collusion between Democrats and Republicans." As it stands, the system is designed to reinforce their duopolistic control... and their followers, more concerned with winning than with fundamental human rights, allow it to continue.

Not quite, but pretty close. You still hold copyrights in anything protected by copyright for example. They just have a perpetual license to use your work. We really ought to be working on laws to protect privacy and limit corp content piracy without explicitly clear opt-ins.
