but that's part of it, just like irl.

Some people might not want annoying aspects of IRL in their fantasy escapism games involving roleplay...

That's the part I always hated. It was hostile towards people who liked the lore but didn't want to group up with some guy named LaserButt4000 who didn't want to go to the same dungeon as you, but was happy to get your rare loot in a bad roll of the dice.

Private servers with scaling for dungeon soloing were a godsend. WoW is actually awesome as a single player game. It's unfortunate the devs never realized that.

This is a misleading perspective. Why would you need to codify "settled law?" SCOTUS had ruled that it was a constitutional right already so you wouldn't need a separate law.

You're also ignoring Casey. It wasn't just Roe.

They also don't typically say they're "pro-abortion."

The infographic states "facts" that weren't relevant at the time.

I'd suggest maybe we don't let kids give each other chronic traumatic encephalopathy, and the occasional death, for our entertainment, but George, the rage-filled authoritarian boomer, played high school football, and he turned out great!

Malice and arrogant ignorance can have the same functional result and at least malice would involve them being honest with themselves. Arrogant ignorance is worse because they're judging and harassing you with their ignorance but think they're saving your soul.

A democratic republic is a representative democracy.

Some of the universities mentioned in the article are public institutions. SCOTUS held in Healy v James that the 1st Amendment applies to public universities. So some of the actions could be considered 1st Amendment violations.

  1. Protest X
  2. X doesn't like you protesting them
  3. You protest where X can't see or hear you
  4. ...?
  5. ~~Profit!~~ Effective protest!

Sure, or they could even protest separately at home where no one can see or hear them. That'll be effective too!

Except these restrictions prevent speech, not harm.

That's a false dilemma. There's a middle ground between allowing only approved speech and allowing any speech whatsoever. And we already make that distinction. Fascists don't believe in free speech and threaten the rights of others through threats of violence, which isn't protected speech. Likewise fraud, libel, slander, blackmail, false advertising, and CSAM aren't protected and are considered harmful.

Driving predictably. Millions of people do it every day and it prevents accidents, which saves lives.
