I played it, it’s definitely inspired by Hollow Knight (and does not attempt to hide it) but it still stands up on its own. I enjoyed it, a decent 7/10 game but nothing revolutionary, just normal fun.

As for Balatro: I don’t think there are any legal issues.

Humans regularly kill large animals as well.

Though I’m unsure how much the presence of mines and absence of humans would affect animal deaths.

It will make things significantly better in the short term.

Their entire infrastructure would immediately crumble. Nothing could be re-used. All successor parties would be banned automatically.

This means basically all their high ranking members are permanently banned from joining or collaborating with any future political party.

I don’t think I need to elaborate why this would set far right organizations back significantly.

True. We need more Margaret Thatchers alongside the Trumps of this world.

Literally every single government on this planet classifies and restricts weapons based on potential of danger/lethality.

Anything from knife types/blade lengths to gun caliber is regulated everywhere. The same applies to chemicals with which explosives/poisons can be manufactured. You can’t order them in any country without filling out forms.

It’s literally the most basic type of risk assessment possible and by far the most effective way to reduce harm.

My point is there is clearly a limit to how many people a weapon can kill before no sane person would allow people to possess it.

Apparently, for you this number is greater than 61 deaths per weapon, seeing as this is the number of people killed in the Las Vegas Mass Shooting.

So, which is it? 100? 1000? 1 million? When is a weapon too dangerous to be available commonplace in your opinion?

Should we every single person this planet access to nuclear weapons? Mutually Assured Destruction has kept us save from nuclear war thus far. Clearly this applies not just on the state but on the individual level as well.

Technically speaking Beethoven was born in Austria. Austrian Netherlands that is (current day Belgium), owned by the Habsburgs.

Or even more generally, he was born in the Holy Roman Empire of Germanic Nations (today Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, parts of France, parts of Poland, Austria, Czechia, Germany) and died in the Austrian Empire.

They also have decent records of relevant political figures which are in no doubt in the hands of the US.

Seriously, the nazis were able to compile lists of political enemies (suspected to be) in Brtiain 85 years ago.

It’s not a stretch to suggest the US knows exactly who is relevant to keeping the regime alive, whom to imprison and whom to kill.

Collapsing a nation is far easier than establishing a new one after all.

Sadly a mobile game so it’s not really worth your time as it has in app purchases.

But what could be worth your time is Devotion, a Taiwanese horror game which is not available on any store front (but their own) after an easter egg criticial of Xi Jinping was found.

Whoops. Completely missed that line.

Premature babies cannot be vaccinated against measles though. And you usually cannot determine who infected the baby.

Edit: If you don’t skim the article you can read the mother infected the baby.

Fair, “positive aspect” would’ve been significantly better wording. There’s nothing Trump can do to redeem himself unless he does an inverse John Fetterman.

Please.

The sole redeeming factor about Trump is being extremely unpredictable. He is a quintessentially ignorant American in that way. No one can reliably control him, he will flip-flop between diametrically opposed positions at will.

Hopefully chaos impersonated will turn on Putin for a while. Hell, if Trump continues to ignore legal precedent he may be able to harm Russia more than Biden ever did.

>99% of art does not make any money though. You don’t need to pay people to create art. You only need to pay them to create art faster. That’s how nearly all artists make money today: Comissions. Copyright only really benefits the most popular 0.1% of artists.

It’s not that much:

According to https://ourworldindata.org/consumption-based-co2 it’s less than 10% of China’s total emissions, meaning 90% of their emission comes from internal consumption. This is pretty bad considering China’s emissions per capita are worse than the UK adjusted for imports and exports.

Prizes are income, otherwise companiea would hold a raffle each month to determine your salary.

The number of people abusing social systems is a rounding error.

At least in Germany, there are so many barriers in place to prevent ““leeches”” that people who are actually in need of social support don’t have any access. Which is the entire point of erecting barriers might I add.

Not quite. Immigrants intend to stay forever, while expats don’t (in my opinion).

That is, if these self-called “expats” do intend to stay forever and obtain citizenship they very much are immigrants who don’t want to call themselves immigrants.
