They disarmed themselves by villifying gun owners. As a result, 90% of guns are owned by the fascist party.

Also - state and city-level restrictions absolutely affected gun owners. New York City was enforcing a law that made it illegal to transport a licensed, unloaded handgun in a secured container across city limits. They withdrew the law right before the Supreme Court heard the case specifically so they could kill the case and renew the law.

They do know coins aren’t single-use, right?

My coffee machine costs more than a Startbucks order, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad investment.

40 years of villifying gun ownership.

I’m a Democrat with dozens of guns, but most Dems I know have been indoctrinated into thinking gun ownership is support of child murder.

Nobody is holding a gun to your head

Give them a few months

The Democrats disarmed themselves.

I think the reason they don’t do that is because the costs of building an ad network that complies with regulatory requirements in every region is really expensive.

For existing ad networks, it’s worth it because of the volume of customers. For Valve, the customer count would be low unless they wanted to make a play at becoming an ad network outside of Steam as well, which is not something that makes sense for them as a business. So for Valve, micro microtransactions and other forms of paid DLC are a much better business model for free-to-play games.

I think it’s better than having ads too, but if Valve could have found a simple way to monetize the ads, I they would have gone that route. But this approach brings in more money, reduces cost of hosting games that don’t bring Valve income, and brings good will.

Most American cities aren’t New York.

We have no real public transit, and many of our cities were urbanization following the invention of the automobile and are spread out to accommodate the automobile infrastructure and longer commutes.

Houston is our third most-populous city and has a metroplex with a Combined Statistical Area of over 12,000 square miles. That makes it roughly the size of the Netherlands, with around 40% the population of the Netherlands. Soon, Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio are going to form one giant metroplex that’s 60,000 square miles.

It’s not entirely altruistic.

Valve doesn’t get their 30% taste on ad revenue.

A President can pardon federal criminal convictions. He can’t erase civil liability if people personally sue Musk.

He’s an elf who hates his half-elf siblings.

I’m a .world user:

Also - these unions are made up of hundreds of thousands of beaurocrats, and NOBODY knows the rules like beaurocrats.

They blocked piracy for like a day over a year ago and then unblocked it when the users were clearly against it.

Hexbear being blocked is a good thing and overwhelmingly supported by the users.

Dems won the election last time they did that.

New Coke was different in 2 important ways.

1. It was actually a way to hide the flavor change in the switch to Corn Syrup instead of Sugar, and never intended to be permanent.

2. Pepsi existed

There’s no real commercial competition for Microsoft. Linux is great, but there’s nobody for a business to call when shit fucks up. And Apple’s walled garden and high prices make it terrible for enterprise.
