    I've found the bounds of their "free speech" is "free speech for me to be an asshole to those I don't like with impunity". It's not free speech for you.

    Man this is so sad, I didn't know he had cancer. One of, if not, the greatest goalie to ever play the game. He also lived quite an interesting life outside of hockey. Rest in peace man.

    I don't fly a whole lot but there a years ago I took a trip to Europe with a friend and we had to fly through Stansted airport. No idea if this is still the case, but the best description I've seen of my experience is a "high-security labyrinth of a shopping mall that happens to have planes at it".

    It was seriously the worst experience I've ever had. After going through security, it took us like 30 minutes just to get through to the main terminal area. In order to get there, you were funneled, shoulder to shoulder, through an elaborate maze of shopping stores. Most airports are usually long corridors with the shopping stores on the sides, but no. This one we were literally funneled through the stores. Once we got to the main terminal, they wouldn't tell us what gate our plane would be at until 45 minutes before take off, and boarding would end like 30 minutes before takeoff. So we basically had 15 minutes to figure out where our flight was and scramble across the airport to get there again.

    0/10 would not recommend. Hopefully it's not as bad these days.

    I don't care enough about this to try and analyze every little action, but it's quite possible this could be a Hanlon's Razor situation. I've known so many instances where people have done something in extremely poor taste not realizing the obvious way it could be interpreted.

    That said, for the last decade plus, it has seemed that pretty much everything from the right has been done with extreme malice, it's becoming hard to give actions the benefit of the doubt anymore.

    I always like this in theory but the reality is it just hurts the poorest in society the most. Those with means can make the switch, those without are stuck with higher prices just to get to their jobs. Reality is we would need some sort of support/trade in program alongside massively cheaper electric cars.

    This has become extremely common in relation to controversial political topics too. They will ask the question "what do you think of (person x) doing (controversial thing Y, phrased negatively and over-simplified)". It's usually always built as a leading question with no actual support for the conclusion its trying to lead you to.

    It's extremely lazy and my best bet is it's just an easy way to karma farm and rage bait for engagement. Just reinforces the echo chambers.

    Well I managed to survive, just barely! Totally had nothing to do with only being able to play for like an hour or so total.

    I also almost died immediately because I spawned in and it was night and I started getting chased by a zombie. Barely escaped into the initial safe base with like 2 hearts left. Managed update the initial area with a small safe house for anyone else spawning in.

    Also managed to make it to the cultural site!

    I've always been a more casual player. I've never actually slain the end dragon or gotten all the elytra stuff myself, my experience has typically been more of building things. I've always viewed Minecraft as "virtual Legos".

    I really like the various skills everyone on the server has brought, because I know I just have never gotten to the "challenging" parts of Minecraft, but glad others on the server were able to.

    It's insane to me how normalized all this bullshit has become. If Watergate happened today, it would be out of the news cycle in hours and no one would care.

    I'd like to think the Epstein files would finally be Trump's undoing, but I've thought that about hundreds of things over the years that just get brushed off. At this point, I'll believe it when I see it.

    Happened to the game Runescape back in the day too. Payment processors were getting so fed up with the number of chargebacks (due to real world trading and other issues) that they threatened to stop processing payments for Jagex unless they curbed the issue. Resulted in big changes to the game that killed off a part of the player base.

    So basically my take is nothing has changed other than the fact that they have something to point to now when they have to remove something from the store.
