Anderson lied to police, saying a hitchhiker was driving at the time of the crash.

Prosecutor Emma Dowling said a roadside breath test showed Anderson was nearly three times over the limit driving after drinking. An empty vodka bottle was found in his car.

Witnesses later reported that he had been driving dangerously for 20 miles (32 kilometers) and his phone showed he had been sending text messages.

At a police station, he told officers he had driven into the back of a car.

“Sometimes mistakes happen," he said. "But I’m not a bad person.”

Sometimes mistakes happen!!!??? My dude, you murdered two people out of sheer recklessness and negligence and then lied about it. You don’t get to excuse your behaviour by saying “oh, I’m not a bad person…”

Take some fucking responsibility. Although, I guess if you were capable of taking responsibility for your actions you wouldn’t be on your phone while driving double the highway speed limit and drunk off your ass.

The other misogynistic element is the Madonna/Whore complex, in my opinion.

Mothers are often classically viewed as the Madonna (it’s in the name), so they’re good and kind and virtuous.

However, I’ve insinuated that I fucked your mom, and if your mom has fucked, that means she’s a Whore because a Good Woman^tm doesn’t have a sexuality. By claiming that I’ve fucked your mom, I’m claiming to have defiled the sacred Madonna and turned her into a profane Whore.

In other words, saying “I fucked your mom” is basically saying “your mom’s a slut”, and in a worldview where women wanting to fuck is a sign of evil, that’s an insult.

But how else can the poor widdwe phawmaceuticaw congwomewate affowd to lobby government and aggressively market our crap to overpaid private healthcare companies so we can keep overcharging the fuck out of drugs we can make for pennies do aww ouw impowtant weseawch that’s paid for by taxpayers with subsidies and grants.

I agree that seeing the current regional conflicts as the opening shots of WWIII is a bit hyperbolic, but I also think a much better comparison is the Balkan Wars of 1912-13 and the related July Crisis considering how the major powers are being lead through proxy conflicts into “a series of interrelated diplomatic and military escalations.”

Nah, german fascists prefer meth.

I think what we’ll see is Biden’s support for Israel not so much making people more likely to vote for Trump as making them more likely to not vote at all.

(Which, in a 2-party system where one side ALWAYS falls in line behind their candidate, makes that side much more likely to win.)

And for the people who will choose to NOT vote for Biden over Israel, I think they’re likely more concerned with what Biden is doing rather than what Trump might do.

Though, as you say, it will definitely be worse not just for Palestine but for Ukraine and the world at large.

Our regularly-scheduled reminder that a far-right government took Germany from the most powerful country in Europe to the 5th-most powerful country in Berlin.

Ah yes, that will ensure compliance and not motivate mass resistance.

My main disagreement with this decision is the same reason I disagree with countries that strictly enforce wearing hijabs.

Whether or not a person chooses to wear a hijab, or a burka, or khakis, or a swimsuit, or nothing at all is a personal decision. It’s the part where they choose that’s important.

It’s certainly arguable whether social or cultural or religious norms can remove the ability to choose without any legal action whatsoever, but I don’t think that justifies this kind of action and I don’t think this law will result in any sort of liberation. Historically speaking this direction tends to result more in reactionary radicalization.

I can only imagine it being Little Big Planet

I really enjoyed The Last Days of the Third Age, a lord of the rings TC for Mount and Blade: Warband.

It takes Warband’s medieval lord sim and focuses hard on the warfare side of things with lots of huge battles on giant maps, but even tiny skirmishes can affect a faction’s strength. (And with so many factions on both sides of the War of the Ring, you need to pick what to focus on)

Oh, don’t get me wrong, minecraft’s art style is absolutely charming and a perfect fit for the “blocky” nature of the gameplay. See how many of its imitators try to look more realistic and end up looking genuinely ugly. But to speak to the top comment’s point, when fancy shaders are added minecraft’s simple style gets elevated so much and it goes to show how simple and effective design paired with good-looking lighting can make even the lowest-poly games look absolutely gorgeous.

Hell, minecraft’s vanilla textures look downright gorgeous with lighting mods.

Sherriffs: what if cops, but with even less oversight and even more power tripping?

Also if he calls over 40 hours a week short hours…

Bioshock is most specifically about Randian objectivism, which promotes a version of extreme laissez-faire capitalism, not libertarianism in general.

And I think that’s the most economic philosophy buzzwords I’ve put in a sentence before.

Come on, Germany, last time you did this you went from the most powerful country in Europe to the 5th-most powerful country in Berlin.

Wait wait wait, are you saying that ethnonationalists from different ethnicities and nations might not like each other? Impossible!
