Because things haven’t progressed linearly with the universes evolution, and, as the op stipulates, we are part of one second vs countless billions of years (relatively) till it’s theoretical demise, it is possible/probable that we don’t know what will happen down the line.

Certain things might change to make it possible that we simply can’t predict due to lack of information (the future) and technological difficulties.

The reason you cannot ban weapons is because anything could be a weapon. A rock, pencil, barb wire, glass, car, etc.

I know what you mean, but there’s always nuance, a limit, when it comes to things like this. Just because you can use anything as a weapon, doesn’t mean everyone should have access to everything. Rocket launchers? Bio weapons? Nukes?

Banning weapons wouldn’t make crime vanish. Also the whole point of crime is that you break the rules to do it. Your strict rules would just be broken by certain people hence creating the “crime”.

Similarly, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. If there’s no need to ban things because criminals will do it anyway, why have laws at all? Murder, rape, assault etc.

Ultimately, societally, we attempt to come to a collective idea of what we think is “right”, and then attempt to enforce that.

Initially most are very straight forward, like “don’t kill people”… But then the deeper you drill into it, the more complicated it gets. What if you accidentally kill someone? You give them something they’re allergic to without knowing it? Should you get life in prison?

Yeah, I mean they bought the ip, but they haven’t actually developed any homm games, just produced it via other development companies.

Unless I’m misunderstanding something

Pretty sure they did that with all Homm games? Their first, HommV was done by nival interactive.

Can confirm. SoC is great. For a slightly different spin (auto battler) there’s also Hero hour

We’re in a rare run of good form where there are currently multiple gear Homm2/3 clones/spiritual successors that are all great in their own way.

To top it off, og Homm3 still gets decent “updates” in the form of high quality mods that are still being worked on.

I mean, that title sounds like it’s in the same ball park as WAP. As long as they’re not getting exploited, more power to em.

This art style uncomfortably reminds me of that nazi who’s named after hard gray things

Mistakes as well as “mistakes”.

Yes it is flawed, but it was basically “give the 5 largest powers veto power, or they don’t participate”. If they don’t participate, it would be even more ornamental than it currently is.

Ideally they would have more power to stop shit like this, but the UN as it stands is better than nothing. They do bring countries together to talk things through that otherwise might not have and have successfully de-escilated issues in the past.

I’m not saying people shouldn’t expect, or push for, better, and I’m not saying this is your view point, but I do see the sentiment that they’re useless/do nothing quite often.

Walking out won’t ultimately achieve much… But it’s at least better than sitting their and letting him feel validated in his psychopathic plans.

I was going to say, when it comes to Ukraine, this orange fuck flip flops more than the footwear with the same name

Actually it has some factual basis. He’s wealthy, it would be bad for him, he thinks he’s the economy. He just has a big, selfish, ego.

Probably depends on the type of company you work in. If it’s a long established one with lots of staff, they’ve probably realised this issue a long time ago and put plans in for it.

If it’s a more modern one that hired a bunch of solid old heads early on, they probably know better from the outset.

In both cases, someone, somewhere will have probably experienced it and said “never again”, so implemented (or improved) release procedures to ensure it doesn’t happen again

A lot of my teams have been on the younger side and for small companies/startups. So everyone either had a recent example to pull from or had first have experience

I think most people have done, or been part of a team that did, something similar.

At least most of the engineers I’ve worked with have had similar stories from their past

I feel like it should be similar to the whole yelling fake fire in a crowded theater thing. Don’t people get in serious trouble for that.

I mean what he’s doing is much worse. And yes, he is inciting violence

I used to watch her when, as far as I knew, all she talked about was science (mainly physics) news. You know, talking about the thing she actually studied in.

Then one day she did a “capitalism is actually great” video, and spouted a bunch of erroneous neo-lib bullshit. Thankfully most of the comments tore into her, pointing out the logical falacies and out right lies she was parroting.

I only watched a few more vids after that as she seemed to get more and more out of her area of knowledge and saying dumb shit.

I had no idea about the anti trans stuff though. I’d just stopped watching and written her off as the Nth person to be smart in one area and try and apply that to other areas where they have no expertise but think they know more about it than anyone else.

So yeah, fuck her

I was gonna say, this was something they already tried in his first term during covid.

The lack of serious backlash, outrage, or even general coverage of the insanity and facism that’s coming out of the current administration by the media is pretty concerning.

It feels like everyone is just running with it, and I have a hard time beleiving that many people are OK with all of this.

Also trying to turn the question racist. Responding with “including gang violence” is some, not so subtle, dog whistling “blame minorities”

And the same people who always say “it’s too soon to talk about it” and “let’s not make it political” whenever someone brings up gun control after a school shooting.

Personally, I think they are scared. They took the mask off too far with all of their extreme right wing rhetoric and were probably surprised themselves at his little push back they received. Feeling emboldend they kept pushing.

All of a sudden they realise there might be, the most extreme, consequences from the positions they’ve publicly espoused, and they can’t just walk it back. So they’re panicking.

That, or it’s a conspiracy and one of them did it to give themselves permission to go full fascist.

“Likely won’t survive”… My dude was dead within seconds.

It’s almost too perfect. He was trying to turn a genuine question on gun violence into racist rhetoric, and then got immediately snapped…

Was probably feeling pretty smug with how he spun that until his neck popped.
