Nobody asks them to do that, they are asked to not shut down the alternative forums and make it illegal to create alternative forums. -

They did Mr. Photo-op. And the biggest competitor just shut up the "somewhere else". So what now? Which thing that I'm "cursing" would you call capitalism? State sponsored, law influencing monopolies? How is that a capitalism? How is the communist governmental central planing economy any different from Silicon Valley central planing economy? You replaced the actors and the scene but it's the same screenplay. And no, those companies I'm criticizing do not do what they do to make money. A hairdresser deciding he will not serve ginger people is hardly a move to make money. And under a normal free market circumstances I would defend his right to specialize, because there would be hairdressers that serve all or serve exclusively to ginger people. But if he influence the market and/or law to make it impossible for anyone to serve ginger people then it's a completely different situation. The way the media and social media operates right now would not fly in any other branch of economy in a free market. -

Yep, Americans are a big no no when government censors them but will allow some random suit to shut them up, bend them over and whip their butt with a big leather belt because they love freedom -
Engineering levels like a charm by throwing grenades. Only thing that is a drag to level is athletics. It gives measly 20 exp for spending 500 stamina, which you start at 100 and it seems every other perk reduces the amount of stamina you use to do stuff and the only other thing seems to be force opening doors which there are not that many and gives 100xp.

That was debunked months ago. -
There is not one death related to family gathering but there was quite a few suicides due to government destroying whole branches of our economy. And spikes in deaths (we had the most death in November since WWII) was three times higher than covid related deaths. And it was due the fact that that the public health is practically blocked by restrictions and people cannot normally visit a doctor and don't get the necessary treatment. There was few people dying of heart attack because they didn't had covid test and did not received treatment on time. So yeah I definitely can blame the government for the failure of this whole "pandemic". We have few percent less deaths than Sweden and it's not worth butchering the economy the way government did it.
-
Well there is not one "challenge" that originate from the "pandemic" not by governments incompetent responses. We don't have piles of bodies that we have to burn or ditch in the holes. What we have is a spike in non-Covid death from easily treated illnesses, businesses going out, people loosing jobs, suicide rates spikes and the rest of nonsense brought by governments. So, yeah I will stand by the "governments make it a challenge". Well the vaccines are not given long enough to check the long-term effects. Maybe they have it maybe they don't. The fact is we don't know it as it wasn't tested for them. And to be honest I don't get the negativity for people who don't want to get vaccinated. As the things stand right now not one government have the quantity to give it even to people who wants it and the magical 70% is years in the future at the current pace.
-
I admit I underestimated the degree to which governments will make this a challenge. I'm surprised that 50% wants to be vaccinated when they are medically educated.

A sitting president blocked by corporations. You guys might vote for Biden, might end up with Kamala as "president" might elect a third party in the future, but this right there is establishing your new corporate masters that you are to afraid to oppose or stand up to. The US laws and rules will not be discussed and established in DC. They will be coming from Silicon Valley by a top priority email. And remember you chose this and you applauded to this. -

How can there be a unity when Biden supporters answer to his healing plea was: "We want blood"? I don't think US problem comes down to education. Gromnir is educated, I rest my case. The bigger problem is lack of decency, unity and the notion that only "my side" is right. US had few things that united them as a nation. Patriotism, family, sports, entertainment and few others. But all those things were systemically deconstructed and filled with division in the last couple of years. BLM and MAGA protestors have exactly the same message: We are oppressed people whose rights are being violated and our voices ignored. And how could they not think that when they are constantly reinforced in this belief by their respective bubbles starting from the top: politicians, media etc. Of course some "educated" people will stay "they believe in stoopid" they need education. Ok, how is that helpful? They are already educated, they are being educated to love everything their side do and say and hate everything and everyone on the other side every single day 24/7. -

Oh it just fills me with joy seeing all those "peaceful protest" supporters crying like babies right now. I said if the shoe was on the other foot you guys would make a full 180, and I was right as always. This is not a peaceful protest and such behaviour is unacceptable and I condemnd it just as I condemned the same behaviour on the other side. And since both BLM and MAGA protestors are complaining that police is rougher on them than the other group just proves police is doing ok. -
It's completely atrocious, an attempt to cash in on the name of late Terry Pratchett. Basically it's something you get when you take a giant dump on the source material made by people with no talent or taste.

I made a terrible mistake of seeing the first episode of The Watch. And I need to put gasoline on my eyes.

If he was leaking Polish government misconduct and illegal actions I would praise him with all my heart. If governments break law or commit outrageous acts then people who expose those are heroes. -

Why do you support governments killing whistleblowers? He was honored by numerous awards for his work exposing illegal and horrendous practices by governments around the world. He should be protected. -

And this should apply to everybody not only US citizens. Every person around the world should get it from US government -
You didn't. Your response barely fits to my questions. It looks like you copy-pasted that from somewhere else and not made it yourself. Right?
